The marquee game in the conference in Week 4 is USC at Michigan. The Trojans have been one of the surprising teams of the start of the season, as they are 2-0 with a win over LSU. This game will be the first B1G for the Trojans, as they left the Pac 12 after last season.
This will also be the second time the Trojans have ever played in the B1G, with the first game being in 1958. USC leads the all-time series, 6-4, and this will be only the third game that isn’t the Rose Bowl.
One of the best rivalries in the B1G is Iowa and Minnesota, and those teams are in the NBC Primetime Slot for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
Last year, Minnesota won the matchup with some controversy. Cooper DeJean appeared to give Iowa the lead on a punt return touchdown, but the officials said he made an invalid fair catch sign in one of the most controversial plays of the season.
UCLA vs. LSU is the only matchup in the B1G in Week 4 that still doesn’t have a time or a network. That game is currently listed to be either a 3:30 pm or 4:15 pm ET kickoff with a broadcast TBD. The Bruins play Indiana this week, and the result of that game could dictate what time that game is played and on what network.
