Usually, we had to wait for a Rose Bowl to see USC and Michigan on the same field, but this is now a Big Ten regular season game thanks to the vagaries of conference realignment, as the No. 11 Trojans square off against the No.

To use a real-world example, let's take a quick look at how the market has adjusted to point totals for college football games this season. Last year, game totals decreased dramatically as the year progressed due to rule changes affecting the number of plays in games.

One of the biggest games of the week in college football will be taking place in Ann Arbor as the Michigan football team will be hosting USC. The 11th-ranked Trojans are visiting the 18th-ranked Wolverines in what should be a terrific matchup.
