College GameDay crew picks winners of 4 B1G games
It’s arguably the most anticipated segment of College GameDay: Weekly picks.

The first game of the 2021 season will feature two B1G teams, as Nebraska and Illinois are ready to open the year in Champaign. There are a few other games in the conference that will be played before GameDay’s next airing on Saturday — Ohio State-Minnesota (Thursday), Temple-Rutgers (Thursday) and Michigan State-Northwestern (Friday).
