MY PICKS
========
* ILLINOIS 42, Minnesota 17 - Illini get back on bowl track
* WISCONSIN 38, Indiana 13 - Badgers snooze for a half, then wake up
* MICHIGAN 34, Purdue 24 - Boilers need win more, but lack the O
* OHIO STATE 28, Penn State 10 - Bucks won't be JoePa's #401
---
* AUBURN 56, Georgia 24 - Dawgs can't keep up with Newton
* ALABAMA 38, Mississippi State 7 - Dawgs not part of SEC elite yet
* FLORIDA 31, South Carolina 21 - Just when it looked like Gators were buried, they're back in the SEC title game
* OKIE STATE 44, Texas 27 - Cowpokes never win in Austin, but Horns are almost as big a bust as Cowboys this year
* ARIZONA 37, Southern Cal 20 - Cats bounce back at home
* BAYLOR 35, Texas A&M 31 - Big XII wheel keeps turning ...

And off the board ...

* IOWA 30, Northwestern 14 - I hope the Cats can pull off another corn-shucking stunner, but after a close halftime score, the Hawks pull away to keep pace in the Big Ten race.

Remember, picks due by kickoff Saturday.

GO CATS!!!
