The Big Ten announces its Football Champions Week schedule
Big Ten Champions Week Schedule
With a shortened season, the Big Ten is keeping its season going with a Champions Week schedule to give teams another game before the bowl season.
Not everyone is a lock to go – Michigan is questionable, at best – and the original plan was scrapped, but the schedule is decent with a few traditional rivalries back on.
Originally, the idea was for the No. 2 team from the East to play the No. 2 team from the West, and so on. Instead, the league is going with the most interesting possible matchups.
