MY PICKS
========
* PENN STATE over Illinois - Big win for Nits to get over Iowa loss
* OHIO STATE over Indiana - Bucks roll at home after close call
* MICHIGAN over MSU - Good game, but Wolverines get edge at home
* WISCONSIN over Minnesota - Badgers bounce back with big axe win
---
* NEBRASKA over KSU - Close, but Huskers survive on the road
* ALABAMA over USC - Though it will be closer than the Gator game
* FLORIDA over LSU - Two overrated teams, but Gators at home
* MIAMI over FSU - Remember when this game meant so much more?
* STANFORD over USC - Treez impressed, Trojans starting to fall apart
* ARIZONA over OSU - Wildcats better be weary of Beaver upset

And off the board ...

* NORTHWESTERN 35, Purdue 24 - The Boilers will be rested and ready, but the Cats will cut out the maddening turnovers from last week and come out fired up under the lights to pull away late and get a critical win before the much tougher second half of the schedule.

Remember, picks in by THURSDAY NIGHT'S KICKOFF!
GO CATS!!!
