Alacer's Week 11 Picks | Alacer's Blog

I need to make a statement about something before I get to my picks. If you watched the PSU Purdue game, you know what I am about to delve into. PSU lost the game, but on senior day, the stripes felt they should do their part for the Lions. Make no mistake, I like PSU, hell, I even picked them to win, but Purdue should have won that game. Jaycen Taylor crossed the goal line, that was a TD, not a fumble, there is 6 points(likely 7). Lymon ran out of bounds, yet the official wound the clock, forcing Purdue to waste a timeout. Personal fouls were called that really had no business being called. For shame. That was the worst called game I have ever watched. I just need to say it.

Penn St. vs Temple

Here we go PSU, this one is like early season, nice weak team, don't make your fans sweat this out, take control and do your thing. The Lions pick up win number 8.

Penn St. 38
Temple 3

Minnesota vs Iowa

You already know the answer to this one. Minnesota is the cure to any teams ills and Iowa seems to be doing fairly well as it is. The Hawkeyes beat the Gophers to become bowl-eligible.

Iowa 31
Minn 13

Indiana vs Northwestern

Ah, finally an interesting matchup, the Hoosiers go to Evanston to try to solidify a bowl bid, while the Wildcats try yet again to be eligible. The better team here is IU, but Northwestern is playing for more, and playing at home, while IU is coming off a big win, and a letdown is a big possiblility. Expect a shootout.

NW 35
IU 33

Purdue vs Michigan St. Well, both of these teams must feel a bit disappointed, but one of them has to win. Leonidas' boys allow a lot of points, and the Boilers can certainly put them up. The train can't take down the Spartans, and MSU's becomes another Big Ten Bowl eligible team.

MSU 41
Purdue 38

Ohio St. vs Illinois

Primed for an upset, looking forward to Michigan, Ohio State does what is does best: win. Granted, Illinois might give OSU a run for 2, or at most 3 quarters, but don't expect an upset. That is the story, the Illini might beat the big D, not the big O.

OSU 45
Ill 28

Michigan vs Wisconsin This is the game to watch, a hot Michigan facing the Badgers, fresh off a loss. The game is a true football classic, and Wisconsin wins it.

Wis 24
UM 23

My Record:
Last Week: 5-1
Overall: 8-4
