Buy Buckeyes Tickets

The 2022 college football season is in full swing and Week 2 is among us. I am trying to schedule out my television schedule and thought that you might need some help as well. The Big Ten has a full slate of games with 14 contests and some may be classified more in the “cupcake” category there are some extremely interesting games.

It will be hard for the Big Ten to match the excitement of last week as the primetime match-up of Ohio State and Notre Dame was marked as one of the most compelling games of the season, but I think a few of these games may surprise us.
