MY PICKS
========
* ILLINOIS 34, Michigan 24 - The Zookers are rising, RichRod is fading
* IOWA 45, Indiana 10 - Hawkeyes leave Kinnick, but should be a cakewalk
* MSU 56, Minnesota 7 - No Sparty Slide this year with Gophers on deck
* WISCONSIN 49, Purdue 3 - Blowout week continues - Bucky smells Roses
---
* UTAH 23, Texas Christian 17 - Great game, but Utes squeak by at home
* ARIZONA 32, Stanford 24 - Still don't believe in the Treez
* SOUTH CAROLINA 41, Arkansas 38 - No one plays D in SEC anymore!
* ALABAMA 27, Lsu 10 - Tiger Stadium tough at night, but Tide tougher
* OKLAHOMA STATE 51, Baylor 41 - Either Big XII is crazy good this year or just topsy-turvy because they're all bad ... but games are fun to watch
* OREGON 70, Washington 30 - Locker can score on Ducks, but UO scores more

And off the board ...

* NORTHWESTERN 28, Penn State 21 - Gonna be tough with JoePa going for #400 and the new Scranton version of Rudy, but Persa's from PA as well and the Cats come alive in November again for a big road win ... I hope!
