BTN analyst believes top 2 teams in B1G should ‘watch out’ this weekend

Week 8 of the college football season could be an intriguing one.

There are a number of matchups within the Big Ten alone that could raise some eyeballs, and BTN analyst Jeremy Leman dove into two in particular. At noon, No. 6 Michigan is traveling to face No. 24 Michigan State on Saturday. Leman thinks the Spartans shouldn’t be overlooked.

Also, No. 2 Ohio State is traveling to play Purdue at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, who is on the rise. Leman also believes the Buckeyes shouldn’t take the Boilermakers easy.

Here’s what Leman said in particular about the two matchups, which could potentially end up in upsets:

"If you're a Michigan fan, watch out this week."
