Week 9 Picks

Each week I will be posting my predictions for every Big Ten game game as well as a few of the out of conference. As always these will be accompanied by related (not really) YouTube videos.



Record this season: 49-13 Big Ten, 59-14 Overall

Northwestern v Indiana

The meek of the Big Ten would probably be ok with a win this week.  Unfortunatly, only one is going to get it.  Northwestern has looked far more competitive than Indiana this season so I think it will be the Wildcats.
Pick: Northwestern

Week 8 Bowl Projections (Expanded)

Every week I will be putting up an updated bowl prediction out there. It will include all the BCS and Big Ten bowls. Every few weeks I will include all of the bowls. The selection order for the BCS is:

1) National Championship

2) National Championship

3) Bowl that lost a representative to the first NC pick

4) Bowl that lost a representative to the second NC pick

5) Fiesta Bowl

6) Sugar Bowl
7) Orange Bowl

BCS National Championship Game: LSU v. Stanford

The LSU pick remains the same.  Even without Tyrann Mathieu they clobbered Auburn and just using the eyeball test, this LSU team is the best team in college football. The winner of the massive showdown between the Tigers and Tide in Tuscaloosa next weekend will be the definitive answer to who seals this spot.  Stanford is an extremely talented and well rounded team and I think they are the most likely team (outside of the two SEC West squads) to finish with their undefeated record intact.  They still have tough matchups at USC and against Oregon, but the Cardinal are my pick right now.

In honor of Homecoming Week here at Iowa, here are your picks with some collegiate flavor.

Iowa v. Indiana

Iowa fans should expect to have enough rope that this game isn't too much of a threat.  Beware however, as there is a slim chance the Hawks could accidentily drop this one into a man hole and cause their fanbase unspeakable pain.Pick: Iowa

5) Fiesta Bowl
6) Sugar Bowl
7) Orange Bowl

BCS National Championship Game: LSU v. Oklahoma

LSU and Oklahoma continue to chug along and I still don't see either team losing.  Alabama will be a stiff test and Oklahoma State will provide an interesting rivalry matchup, but the Sooners and Tigers have looked every bit as good as I thought they would when I picked them to end up here during the summer radio show.  Until we see something different, these two are going to stand pat.

Week 6 Bowl Projections

Every week I will be putting up an updated bowl prediction out there. It will include all the BCS and Big Ten bowls. Every few weeks I will include all of the bowls. The selection order for the BCS is:
1) National Championship

4) Bowl that lost a representative to the second NC pick
5) Fiesta Bowl
6) Sugar Bowl
7) Orange Bowl

BCS National Championship Game: LSU v. Oklahoma

How could I change this after theweek these two schools had?  LSU and Oklahoma cominated their respective rivals and both looked worthy of the national title hype they are getting.  Alabama will have something to say about this in the end and Wisconsin lurks if OU should falter, but right now it appears these two squads are on a collision course for the National Championship.

Record this season: 41-11 Big Ten, 52-11 Overall




 Indiana v. Illinois 

This season for both schools has been like this muppets sketch, cleverly strange.  The question is will these teams start passing the eye test.  Well I guess we are talking about Indiana and Illinois, so I suppose the question is, who cares?
Pick: Illinois

Week 5 Bowl Projections

Every week I will be putting up an updated bowl prediction out there. It will include all the BCS and Big Ten bowls. Every few weeks I will include all of the bowls. The selection order for the BCS is:



1) National Championship
2) National Championship
3) Bowl that lost a representative to the first NC pick
4) Bowl that lost a representative to the second NC pick
5) Fiesta Bowl
6) Sugar Bowl
7) Orange Bowl

BCS National Championship Game: LSU v. Oklahoma

I finally got the new logo in place.  LSU and Oklahoma both rolled over inferior opponents (Kentucky and Ball State respectively) so there isn't much reason to change things.  The schedule kicks up for both teams next week as Oklahoma squares off against undefeated Texas in the Red River Shootout and the Tigers take on the Florida Gators in Death Valley.  These teams are locked here until they show some weakness so next week might see a new National Title matchup.
