Picks Week Eight

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



My record: Overall 51-19, Big Ten 40-12


Minnesota v Penn State

This is a program defining moment for both teams.  This game has the potential to permanently cripple one of these teams for the rest of the season and send the other into its' next weekend with a little momentum.  In a game this important, I will take the program with a head coach.
Pick: Penn State

Illinois v Indiana


Football is all about being able to run the ball and stopping the run.  Illinois does those things well, Indiana not so much.
Pick Illinois

Nortwestern v Michigan State

Like many people who wear purple on a regular basis, Prince was never really that good at football.
Pick: Michigan State

Ohio State v Purdue

Don't worry Purdue.  You may lose the football game, but at least your school hasn't stooped to the position of using Glee songs in promotional materials yet. 
Pick: Ohio State

Iowa v Wisconsin

I like you Wisconsin.  I will miss this rivalry being an annual matchup.  And for one last time, well, to paraphrase the video, sure as the stars above I'd really like to screw you......out of a Rose Bowl berth.
Pick: Iowa

Missouri v Oklahoma

Bob Stoops may be a little bitch, but if he is constantly making Gary Pinkel his bitch, what does that make Gary Pinkel?
Pick: Oklahoma

Oklahoma State v Nebraska

Oklahoma State has a great passing offense....but against some of the most statistically terrible passing defenses in the country.  The other teams they have played may have been garbage, but the Huskers are not.
Pick: Nebraska

Auburn v LSU

LSU just has the better Tiger.
Pick: LSU
