In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods preview the week nine games in the Big Ten, which features several intriguing matchups, headlined by a ranked-on-ranked tilt on Saturday.

The action will get started on Friday at 8 p.m. with Rutgers traveling to USC to take on the Trojans. Both teams are coming off of a loss, with the Scarlet Knights dropping a home game to UCLA and USC losing to Maryland on the road.

On Saturday at 9 a.m., Nebraska, fresh off a blowout loss to Indiana, heads to No. 4 Ohio State to take on the Buckeyes, while Washington heads to Bloomington to see if it can somehow stop No. 13 Indiana and the fighting Cignettis.

At 12:30, we get our ranked-on-ranked matchup, with No. 20 Illinois, which controlled its home game against Michigan last week, traveling to No. 1 Oregon, which had no issues blowing out Purdue 35-0 last week on the road. Also at 12:30, Northwestern travels to Iowa and Maryland travels to Minnesota.

In the evening slate at 4:30, No. 3 Penn State will face a real challenge on the road at Wisconsin, which has surged of late, while Michigan State will see if it can notch win No. 5 on the road at Michigan.

As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.
