Alacer's Week 10 Picks | Alacer's Blog

Ohio State vs Wisconsin

The nation likes to claim that OSU hasn't had any real tests, but after thumping Penn St., a win over a ranked Wisconsin might be enough to help drown that talk. Ohio State spoils Wisconsin's return to the top 25.

OSU 38
Wis 10

Michigan vs Michigan State

Michigan has rolled in Big Ten play, while the Spartans have not enjoyed the same success after their fast start. The Wolverines win, but hey Michigan State fans, basketball season is right around the corner.

Mich 33
Mich St 17

Purdue vs Penn. St.

Purdue hopes to win, and with key losses by other teams, take second in the Big Ten, but Penn St. has other ideas. Looking to rebound against a soft defense, and reclaim Happy Valley, Penn St. will top Purdue.

Penn St. 24
Purdue 17

Indiana vs Ball St. Honoring Hep, Indiana gets their 6th win over a much lesser Indiana team. Kellen Lewis gets back on track, as do Hardy and Thigpen. Now the question in whether 6 will be enough in conference that might have more qualifying teams then bids.

Indiana 45
Ball St 24

Iowa vs Northwestern

A good matchup, this is the game I am most excited for, as an Iowa that just found its offense faces a powerful scorer in the Wildcats. Northwestern should be able to score over Iowa, much like Purdue did, but if Iowa can slow them down enough, and their offense continues to play like they did against Michigan St, this one could be a win for the Hawkeyes. Northwestern becomes bowl eligible while sinking the Hawkeyes season.

Northwestern 27
Iowa 17

Illinois vs Minnesota

Poor Minnesota, I am more confident they will lose then I am of IU beating Ball St. The Illini will run over Minnesota, and the Gophers few strikes on offense won't be enought to keep this from being a blowout.

Illinois 38
Minn 17

If anyone cares, I am sorry for the layoff, but things were a bit to much to write this up.

My record:
3-3

I attend a Big Ten School, so, since Delany and the rest of conference can't count, that means there are eleven possibilities. Don't be so confident which one I go to.

Interesting. I am with you on all but the Buckeyes. Wisconsin will bring their speed on Defense and their O-Line will wear down the Buckeyes. The Badgers will get scores from their D and Return game and Wisconsin will prevail, leaving the nation no choice but to make Boston College (?) number one (after Alabama upsets LSU this week too).

...That's just my opinion. We all have one. LOL. Click on my blog where I pick all the games this week. ...Keep your money in your pocket though.

OSU win downing the talk? Forget it. The talk isn't becasue OSU is bad, it is because they are focusing on 1 team in 1 game to try to justify the polls overlooking a loss on their team's record and placing them above an undefeated.

I would love nothing more than to see 'bama beat LSU so we can stop hearing that a 1 loss team should play above undefeateds for the title.

Then again, I suspect the SEC would just start arguing their best 2 loss team should play for the title...
