A week after a monster slate of games, week 6 features a set of games that -- on the surface -- leave a lot to be desired. Many massive spreads and no ranked Midwest matchups are present to wet the whistle. But what do they say about the quiet ones?

In Lincoln, Nebraska looks to get back on track after a crushing defeat against Michigan, with Michigan State coming to town. Can the Huskers take revenge on the Mitten state, or will Jonathan Smith's Spartans come up with the upset?

At Big Noon in Ann Arbor, can Luke Fickell's Badgers find signs of life or will Michigan grate them into the turn? Purdue hosts Illinois in a game that might not feature many stops. Also in Indiana, Notre Dame hosts 2024 playoff team (and 2025 playoff hopeful) Boise State in a game you should also take the over.

Penn State and Washington look to bounce back with long road trips, to UCLA and Maryland respectively. Northwestern has the lone nonconference game of the weekend with UL-Monroe. And Ohio State fans get the night game against Minnesota.

The guys also debut their "MAC Minute" segment.
