Biggest must-watch:
Well, Michigan and Iowa aside, you really should keep an eye on Minnesota @ Nebraska just because, you never know. I assume all eyes will be on Ohio State at Wisconsin in what would typically be the biggest Leaders matchup of the year. This not being one of those years, of course.
Upset Alert!
Right now, inexplicably, Ohio State is an underdog going into Madison. So, Go Badgers and all, but I think OSU wins this one.
Snoozer of the week:
Purdue @ Illinois. Is there really an actual need to play this game? Is there some funny looking trophy that I'm not aware of? (Ed. Yes, there is.)
Bold predictions!
Well, I suspect Michigan will remain right where they are next week after Nebraska beats Minnesota. Michigan really should take it easy on Iowa, b/c our B1G title hopes rest on their shoulders.
It'll be interesting to see if Michigan State can become bowl eligible. I think they should. Both they and Northwestern will have to decide who should blow their lead in order to get out of this game alive. No lead is safe in this one. Spartan Stadium will be a ghost town.
