For the majority of the 2016 college football season, many CFB analysts claimed that the B1G, and not the SEC, were the kings of CFB and the reigning best conference in the nation. With our beloved conference limping to the finish of a 3-7 bowl season, highlighted by a blowout loss from Ohio State to Clemson, and losses by Michigan and Penn State here is a look at the B1G's top 2017 OOC games, and a chance to earn back some of the lost respect.

It seems as if every year there is that one weekend that makes or breaks the B1G's reputation and 2017 will be no different. The second week of the season featuring Oklahoma @ Ohio State, Pitt @ Penn State, and Nebraska @ Oregon is going to be huge for the conference's reputation going forward.
