Iowa 27, Iowa State 23: The Cyclones will put up a valiant effort against in state rival Iowa per usual, but it will be James Vandenburg and Marvin McNutt who have the last laugh hooking up for a touchdown with less than 2 minutes to go in the game to ice it. The bad news for the Hawkeyes is they will be forced to hoist the hideous Cy-Hawk trophy. Although there are rumors the trophy was changed, can anyone confirm?
Michigan State 45, Florida Atlantic 17: The Spartans will do this week what they should have done last week - destroy an inferior opponent.
Ohio State 38, Toledo 13: Don't even think for a minute that the Rockets are going to cover the spread, because they won't... Carlos Hyde and Jordan Hall will run at will on a bad Rockets defense.
Wisconsin 55, Oregon State 20: The Beavers had trouble stopping Sacramento State so much so that they lost the game. The only way the Badgers even have to punt is if they stop themselves because it sure as heck isn't going to be Oregon State. Russell Wilson will continue to build up his Heisman resume in the 1st half before sitting in the 2nd half in a blow out.
Illinois 34, South Dakota State 21: The Jackrabbits from South Dakota State will hang around long enough to make the folks in Champaign a little nervous. The Jackrabbits have gone into B1G stadiums and hung around before narrowly losing to Minnesota in 2009 and Nebraska in 2010. The massive Illini offensive line will wear down SDSU in the 4th quarter and make the game look like a more comfortable win than it really was.
Northwestern 33, Eastern Illinois 14: The Cats win an ugly one, and get another tongue lashing from Pat Fitzgerald. Kain Colter shows his inexperience in his second start in relief of Dan Persa and the Cats depend on the legs of Mike Trumpy to get by EIU in an ugly performance for the ages.
Minnesota 41, New Mexico State 17: What's this?! Minnesota routing a team they are supposed too? I haven't seen that since the Truman administration,... or at least since the Mason administration. Jerry Kill gets er' done and the Minnesota faithful lets out a deep sigh of relief. Both MarQueis Gray and Max Shortell get work under center and excel.
Alabama 35, Penn State 17: Bama absolutely punishes an over matched Penn State team in Happy Valley. Both Matt McGloin and Rob Bolden look completely lost and toss 3 INT's combined. The Alabama offense uses a punishing running game to take care of business on the road.
Rice 31, Purdue 24: I don't know what it is about Purdue I don't like but I absolutely hate them in this game. The Boilermakers wilt like a flower in the Texas heat. The Boilermakers have a thin roster and have already been bitten by the injury bug. That is a recipe for disaster in the Texas heat.
Virginia 27, Indiana 17: Indiana gets outworked, out muscled, out coached, and everything else under the sun against a mediocre but well coached Virginia team. If the Hoosiers had trouble at both lines of scrimmage from a middle of the road MAC team I can just imagine the problems they will have with a middle of the road ACC team.
Nebraska 30, Fresno State 10: The Huskers cruise with out too much turbulence from Fresno State. The Bulldogs will keep it close at half time, but the Huskers will prove to be too physical to handle in the second half.
Michigan 20, Notre Dame 17: A lot of people like Notre Dame to rebound this week, but I don't. I think Hoke will have the Wolverines ready in their first real test of the season. The Wolverines play to win, while the Irish play not to lose and that will be the difference. Tommy Rees throws two INT's in the loss and prolongs the quarterback controversy in South Bend.
Last week: 11-1 Overall: 11-1
