Big games this week:
26 Minnesota at 23 Ohio State: OSU has looked bad their last two games, can they turn it around at home against the upstart Gophers? Will TPryor get the start again? I think Boeckman has seen his last snap as a Buck. OSU 30, UM 13
32 Va Tech at 9 Nebraska: Va Tech has turned around a bad start against ECU, while Nebraska has seemingly turned around their Calahan hangover, beating up on mediocre talent, but beating them soundly. A Nebraska win will solidify that start, while a VT win could jumpstart them into the ACC schedule. VT 27, Nebraska 10
4 Wisconsin at 79 Michigan: It's Michigan. Go Blue. Watching the NHL Network, they are showing the '93 Adams division finals with Montreal-Buffalo. Guy Carbonneau in an interview had a Michigan hat on. That's enough for me to pick Big Blue. Michigan 348, Wisconsin -17.
12 Michigan State at 40 Indiana: This is the game where MSU usually lays their green and white egg. Will Dantonio have them ready? Yup. MSU 30, Indiana 3
1 Alabama at 7 Georgia: Georgia is the only team in history to start #1, go 3-0, and drop in the polls every week. Alabama rode their neutral site win over Clemson in week 1 through their next three games winning convincingly in each, although the Tulane game was closer than expected (20-6). Georgia is coming off a game where they laid the smack down in Tempe against a fired up ASU team. This is the "Game of the Century" for this week. Georgia can probably survive a loss here and still make the SEC championship game, but Alabama cannot. Georgia has the two undefeated East teams Florida and Vanderbilt at home, but Alabama has to go to LSU. Prediction: Georgia 24, Alabama 17.
