I read somewhere that Purdue has beaten TOSU 4 out of the last 4 times when the game was being hosted by the Boilmakers. Hopefully they make it 5 out of 6.

I actually believe that NC State can knock off Clemson and I will certainly be pulling for them Saturday.

Miss State and LSU will be a defensive gem and first one to 14 may win that one. If I am being honest I think LSU wins but would love to see MSU pull it off.

Michigan - Mich St is a tough one but the Spartans have been so up and down while Mich appears to be peaking. I think Mich wins big and really like there chances against the Buckeyes this year.

Oregon is playing better and better each week but the Pirate is sneaky and it will not surprise me if they pull of the upset over the Ducks. Go WSU!

As for OUs game I will have to watch it by recording as I have to be at a vollyball game while it is being played but I think OU wins 34-24 and if they dont it could create a downward spiral the rest of the year.

Like the Big10 for road upsets this week:

Ohio State@Purdue X (Boilermakers are right behind us at #10 in total offense, and tOSU has serious issues on defense)

Michigan@Michigan State X (neither O is top 50, but UM is #2 D and Sparty #37; just need a close game and anything can happen in a hate-fest).

Got bucknuts wounded badly and the ducks out of the picture for the year. Now someone needs to to take the domers and we win everything in sight by improving D numbers a bit more each week. Got 5 more chances + December and then a long cold winter. An impressive Bowl win vs a quality opponent would be a bonus
