Want to have a great time AND watch some fantastic football? Get to a Big Ten football game.
Four Big Ten teams were included on NFL.com's recent ranking of college football's best-game-day atmospheres, part of the publication's popular 15 for '15 series.
Reigning national champ Ohio State paces the Big Ten, at No. 3, trailing just No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama.
Nebraska (No. 5), Wisconsin (No. 7) and Penn State (No. 12) round out the site's top Big Ten atmospheres.
The Big Ten's four representatives are the second-most of any conference, three behind the SEC (7) and one more than the Pac-12 (3).
