Games of the Week

#23 Wisconsin (3-1) at #4 Ohio State (4-0)

• Braxton Miller is expected to return in this marquee Big Ten matchup against Wisconsin. Braxton has been named co-starters with senior, Kenny Guiton. Wisconsin is led by running backs Melvin Gordon and James White.

Prediction: Ohio State 35, Wisconsin 28

#21 Ole Miss (3-0) at #1 Alabama (3-0)

• Number one Alabama comes into this game 3-0, but it has not been so pretty. Alabama has had two poor offensive games this year, and gave up 42 points to Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M. Ole Miss comes in with a really young team. Ole Miss has four true freshmen starting and many more contributing. Freshman wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell, looks to continue his strong freshman season and help Ole Miss pull off the big upset.

Prediction: Alabama 31, Ole Miss 17
