Big Ten football is heating up as we roll into Week 7 of the season! As we brace for a full slate, the conference has already set the complete schedule with broadcast designations for Week 8.

One of the matchups of the week will be a game between a pair of surprising starts in Nebraska and Indiana. Under Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers are the first B1G team to 6 wins and will be coming off a bye week at 6-0 in Week 8.

The Huskers, at 5-1, will also be coming off a bye week and looking to punch their ticket to a bowl game. Nebraska is looking for its first bowl game of the Matt Rhule era and the first for the program since 2016.

That matchup is set for the prime noon ET slot for FOX’s “Big Noon” Game of the Week. It remains to be seen if the “Big Noon Kickoff” show will be live from Bloomington for the game.

The other marquee time slots include Michigan at Illinois at 3:30 pm ET on CBS and Iowa at Michigan State in the NBC primetime slot at 7:30 pm ET. Oregon will play its 2nd Friday night game of the season with a primetime trip to Purdue in Week 8.

Here is the full Week 8 schedule:
