The Big Ten’s top two games of the week have teams going on the road for nonconference matchups as No. 15 Michigan visits No. 18 Oklahoma and Iowa heads to No. 16 Iowa State. Game of the week

No. 15 Michigan (1-0) at No. 18 Oklahoma (1-0), Saturday, 7:45 p.m. EDT (ABC)

This is the first regular-season matchup between these traditional powers. Their only previous meeting came when Oklahoma capped its 1975 national championship season by beating Michigan 14-6 in the Orange Bowl.

In their respective season openers, freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood made his college debut Michigan beat New Mexico 34-17 and Washington State transfer John Mateer threw for 392 yards and three touchdowns as Oklahoma defeated Illinois State 35-3.

BetMGM has Oklahoma as a 5 1/2-point favorite.

The undercard

Iowa (1-0) at No. 16 Iowa State (1-0), 12:10 p.m. EDT (Fox)

The road team has won each of the last five meetings in this annual series. Iowa is seeking to win at Iowa State for a seventh straight time. A victory would give Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz 206 career coaching wins, enabling him to overtake Woody Hayes for the most in Big Ten history.

BetMGM has Iowa State favored by three points.

Starting at $3.50/week.
