ESPN.com's list of 10 high-stakes games entering the 2017 season.
10. Oklahoma State at Texas (Oct. 21)
9. Washington at Stanford (Nov. 10)
8. Florida State at Clemson (Nov. 11)
7. Auburn at LSU (Oct. 14)
6. Wisconsin at Nebraska (Oct. 7)
5. Florida vs. Michigan (at Arlington, TX) (Sept. 2)
4. Georgia at Notre Dame (Sept. 9)
3. Texas A&M at UCLA (Sept. 3)
2. Florida State at Florida (Nov. 25)
1. Oklahoma at Ohio State (Sept. 9)
6. Wisconsin at Nebraska (Oct. 7)
Nebraska improved by three wins in Mike Riley's second season, to 9-4, but it sure didn't feel like it after the Huskers dropped four of their final six games. Their final three losses came by a combined 103 points. It started to go wrong for Big Red after an overtime defeat at Wisconsin, which will enter the season as the Big Ten West Division favorite and a fringe CFP contender. Although Nebraska has a revealing Week 2 trip to Oregon, it ultimately must compete for the division or serious questions will emerge about Riley's leadership. Nebraska entered the Big Ten pegged as a West heavyweight, but it has won the division just once in six years. This game also carries stakes for Wisconsin, which skips both Ohio State and Penn State on the regular-season schedule.
