Before you know it, the start of a new college football season will be kicking off and the chase for a spot in the College Football Playoff will be underway.

The Badgers were no match for the Crimson Tide last season in Madison, and this one could also be a bit more lopsided than fans will want to see. But it is the highlight of the week for the Big Ten schedule.
Week 4: Nebraska vs. Michigan
