If MSU and Michigan are bad this year, it could be another really bad year for the Big Ten.

If I wasn't a 'Cuse homer I would've run the table. Oh well, I suppose I can afford to lose one game early.
When I was making my picks I wanted badly to pick Utah. They are going to be a sound team this year. The only thing that stopped me was they were playing in the Big House. Sheridan looked terrible. He should have had more then one INT that is for sure.Originally Posted by MWM

I should have known better than to count on those Michigan teams, despite my overlooking Missouri, I could have been perfect 0-10, it is not easy to pick them in reverse. Try it sometime, pick the losers.That game tripped up most people. The entire schedule tripped up Spring~Fields

What a schedule for the Big and Wants-It-EASY-Eleven, my goodness talk about wanting it soft. Even the Michigan teams should win this week. OSU will be ill-prepared for USC at this rate.
I will take the easy ones like you GAC this week.:
OSU
Wisconsin
Illinois
Michigan State
Michigan
Iowa
Purdue
Penn State
Indiana
Northwestern
Bowling Green - I wonder if they are for real, teams usually have a let down after a big win, but Minnesota had to do all it could to win last week.

I really thought that the Michigan D would step up in the Utah game. Who knew they would take the entire first half off?

Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
I really wasn't all that impressed with Utah to be honest. I mean a win in the Big House is big for their program, but lets face it, Michigan is absolutely awful. Utah did everything in their power down the stretch to blow the game with a blocked punt and a TO, but Michigan couldn't cash in. I wasn't very impressed with their offensive line, and although Brian Johnson's stats at the end of the day looked great, I really wasn't all that blown away with him either.

Fixed it. Originally I didn't bold my OSU-Ohio pick.... I mean the game IS a toss-up and everything
Thanks for pointing that out Baseclogger, appreciate it
Fixed it
Yikes with that three headed QB at OSU let's hope not, it just might bite them next week.
