Games That Should be Fun for Everybody:
#5 West Virginia vs. #18 South Florida Let's see West Virginny is the "rootinest, tootinest, most rushinest" team west of Annapolis. They have a veritable Hydra in their backfield with Slaton, White and Devine all being completely capable of slashing through your precious defense with the precision of a samurai's katana. Meanwhile, the South Florida Bulls roll in as everyone's upstart media darling. Actually, and as cute as a Bull calf must be, USF has got some teeth and claws, last year, like, totally upsetting, like, West Virginia's plans for a BCS Bowl. I really don't know much more about these two teams, but that won't stop me from making a prediction: USF 31 WVU 34.
#6 California vs. #11 Oregon Unless you live on the West Coast you won't be catching this game. Granted with Bears and Ducks fans occupying the same space in the Pacific Northwest, the contact high should at least reach Lincoln, so you could catch that. On paper, at least, this is the most competitive game of the week. C'est la vie. Watch what your Televised Sports Overlords tell you to watch and thank them for it. "Thank You, ESPN/ABC." I like California. Hmmm, let's say Cal 38 Oregon 28. Sounds good, to me.
Big Ten Games
Michigan vs. Northwestern The Wolverines are still hungry after awakening from their hibernation later than all the other teams and will feast upon the Big Ten's soft, fleshy, white underbelly, known as Northwestern. Mike Hart will have over 200 yards of rushing, if he's left in for the duration of the game. Michigan 27 Northwestern 10.
Indiana vs. Iowa Let's see, Iowa lost their tight end and wide receiver last week and are coming off a hard fought, yet, still uninspiring, loss to the Badgers of UW. And Indiana's got a soft, as cotton candy rush defense. Still they have Kellen Lewis and James Hardy to make up for their defense's shortcomings. Indiana wins a shootout. Hoosiers 42 Hawkeyes 38.
Paterno State vs. Illinois Morreli's going to screw this one up, I just know it! Sorry, Rudy, but I'm picking against the Lions. Illinois 20 Penn St. 13
Penn State's mascot stripping: More or less humiliating than losing to Illinois? Find out on Saturday!Ohio State vs. Minnesota Tressel and the boys keep on rolling through the easy sledding of their early Big Ten schedule, that is of course, unless, anymore quarterbacks get caught soliciting prostitutes, ha! OSU 38 Minnesota 13
Notre Dame @ Purdue I'm feeling a little loopy and stupid right now, so, against all intuitions and facts of football science: I'm picking Notre Dame to beat Purdue. Please, don't ask me for a score, this prediction is troubling enough.
Michigan State vs. Wisconsin Well, Wisconsin still hasn't show itself to be anything more than a bi-polar, loose cannon of offensive ineptitude. BUT, they still have an awesome defense and Pajamas Hill, I'm crossing myself and hoping that is enough to beat Michigan State. If it's not, well, I'll be hanging out with this guy a lot on Saturday night...
