[NU Sports] PIGSKIN PICKS - Week 10

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Well, if nothing else this year, the Big Ten has given college football the best prime time games. From the Michigan-Notre Dame madness to the last two weekends and late heaves that wiped the smirk right off of Bret Bielema's face ... this week it's the SEC's turn with their version of the "Game of the Century" -- let's hope it lives up to billing.

In league play, it's a pretty quiet weekend. Michigan/Iowa *was* supposed to be the marquee game before the Hogeyes choked in the Pig Game. Here's hoping the surprise this week comes in Lincoln.


Standings out tomorrow. Picks due by kickoff Saturday ... GO CATS!!!

MY PICKS========GAME 1: OHIO STATE ... The Bucknuts may not be done playing spoiler, but they won't need any late heroics against the HoosiersGAME 2: MICHIGAN ... I still think the Hawkeyes have a surprise in 'em, but it will be for Sparty next week
GAME 3: MICHIGAN STATE ... Sparty's tough stretch is over, but will they finish strong?
GAME 4: WISCONSIN ... Pity poor Purdue - the Smug Smirk may put up 80 on them out of frustration
GAME 5: ALABAMA ... Should be a good game, but I like the Tide at home in this true SEC title game
GAME 6: OKLAHOMA ... The Sooners may pass Boise next week thanks to the Big XII Computer Sham
GAME 7: OKLAHOMA STATE ... Does anyone seriously think the Cowpokes will beat the Sooners?
GAME 8: ARKANSAS ... The dirty little piggies are the most overrated team outside the Big XII, but SC is injured
GAME 9: OREGON ... Ducks should be on upset alert with Stanford ahead, but they slip by the Huskies
GAME 10: ARIZONA STATE ... Sun Devils could all but lock up a Pac 12 title game berth by winning in LA
