Big Ten Football Schedule, Game Times For Week 6

The No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes will help kick off the Big Ten football schedule in Week 6 against the 2-3 Maryland Terrapins in Columbus at 12:00 p.m. ET. The Buckeyes have won 18 straight games dating back to last season, including a close call in Bloomington, Indiana last week against the Hoosiers.

In other noon action, newly ranked No. 22 Iowa will look to improve to 6-0 as it hosts Illinois, while Indiana will travel to Happy Valley to take on 4-1 Penn State.
