[NU Sports] PIGSKIN PICKS - Week 4

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Well, it's been a heck of a last week or so ... and since I won't be sequestered for jury duty, you'll likely have to wait for fall break for the standings. But on to the week 4 lineup!

It's a dreadfully dull week in Big Ten Country as we've reached that point in the year where the interesting NC games have passed, creampuffs are in season and the fans are screaming for the league slate to just get started already. There are a few big national games, but not like the early part of the year. Mostly, it looks like another Saturday of TV announcers blathering on about the might of the SEC. In any case, picks are due by kickoff SATURDAY!
