#13 Penn State vs. Michigan
Gomer: Penn State's success so far has been mostly against bad teams, so I expect the Wolverine's to pull the "upset" and prove they are not as bad as everyone once thought. PSU: 24--UM: 31
Chief: This game is very interesting to me. For some reason, I can't shake the idea that Michigan has a chance. Everyone is back on the PSU bandwagon with the stunner by OSU last week, but I still haven't seen much. Iowa beat PSU by a decent margin at PSU but squeaked by Michigan at home. In the last 10 years, UM has only lost to Penn State once (last year when they sucked). The Wolverines have the Lions number so why not, I'll call the upset. Even with a terrible defense and slightly concussed Forcier, I'll go with the Blue. If Robinson is the only QB, they have no chance, but the Lions have been very blah this year. PSU: 34--UM:36
#8 TCU vs. #16 Brigham Young
Gomer: I'm not super sure who to take, but ever since the BYU loss to Florida State, I have severely questioned their team. I'll take TCU in a quasi-upset TCU: 28--BYU: 27
Chief: When this is the only big game of the weekend, there's nothing going on. The battle arises for the 'other' BCS buster (assuming Boise State wins out). Given the upsets in recent weeks, TCU has a legitimate chance of making the BCS if they go undefeated even if Boise also makes it. However, I think Max Hall will engineer enough to take down the Horned Frogs. While BYU was stomped by FSU, they've rebounded and are at home. TCU has been underwhelming in the past few weeks. The Frog defense is solid, but Bronco Mendenhall will have the Cougs ready to go. Down goes another BCS buster. TCU: 20--BYU: 24
Minnesota vs. #19 Ohio State
Gomer: Yes we lost to Purdue, yes everyone thinks Pryor sucks, but no, we won't lose to Minnesota. The Defense deserves some time off the field finally, and I think they will get some today. The Bucks will find a way to get something rolling and end this one in the first half. UM: 14--OSU: 38
Chief: Ouch...last week hurts really badly. The Bucks take a painful loss in a game they should have won easily (something that doesn't happen to tOSU much). Pryor was a turnover machine last week with the perfect storm hitting West Lafayette. One plus I saw was the development of the slant route in the final drive--I think this may be the only route he can throw consistantly well...perhaps we should call the play more. The defense played ok, but not the same level (most likely due to being on the field all game like the Wisky game). Minnesota has been bad (worse than Purdue) and the Bucks get back home. I think the ship is righted in a big way -- against a bad team. Look for the Bucks to explode with pure anger. They sucked last week and they need to be on a mission the rest of the year. Offense learns to get a few first downs and outscores the defense (rare occurence this year). Ray Small is finally removed from the punt team and all is well with a big Buck victory. UM: 10--OSU: 31
