Texas vs Michigan leads an awesome Big Ten Schedule Saturday. This is the fruit of a conference that has grown to 18 teams. Fans are almost guaranteed multiple great matchups every weekend. With Texas vs Michigan we have two of the four playoff teams from last year facing off and Michigan, of course is the defending national champion and they are riding a 16 game winning streak. Both teams come into the game ranked in the top 10. And, let us not forget Texas has the best quarterback room in the country with starter Quinn Ewers. And he has the most famous backup in college football named Arch Manning.
Saturday also brings the battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy as Iowa State faces Iowa in a series that dates back to 1894. Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz makes his season debut after sitting out a one-game suspension for a recruiting violation.
And once the sun goes down Coach Prime Deion Sanders and his Colorado Buffs come into Lincoln, Nebraska to face the Huskers on national TV. While many are focused on the Sanders family, Matt Rhule's Huskers may have the best true freshman starting QB in the country with Dylan Raiola.
TEXAS VS MICHIGAN LEADS THE DAY
The Big Ten is where it is at! I mean would you rather watch Georgia hang 70 points on Tennessee Tech? Are you going to watch Notre Dame beat Northern Illinois by 5 touchdowns? Is Ole' Miss going to beat Middle Tennessee by 50 points one week after topping Furman by more than 70?
Of course not! But a great day of college football begins with Texas vs Michigan at noon eastern. For the latest college football talk and Pig Skin Picks tune in each weekday from 2-6 to Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida!
