Week 7 of the college football season is just hours away for the Big Ten and as always, there are a number of very intriguing matchups.
ESPN’s College GameDay believes No. 12 Michigan-No. 15 Wisconsin is the game of the week, as the crew is headed to Ann Arbor to kick the morning off. Kickoff between the Wolverines and Badgers is set for 7:30 and the game can be watched on ABC.
Ahead of the Week 7 action, BTN analyst Gerry DiNardo gave his updated Big Ten power rankings. DiNardo listed his top 5 and had a couple surprises.
One of them being Wisconsin over Michigan:

According to mybookie.ag, the Badgers are listed as 9.5-point underdogs. DiNardo believes Wisconsin should obviously be favored.
The other surprise to some may be No. 5 Purdue. The Boilermakers are getting better as the year goes on and QB David Blough taking over as the full-time signal caller has done wonders.
Purdue is certainly a team on the rise and Michigan-Wisconsin is going to be a treat Saturday night.
