5-3

Iowa - BC

Purdue - Arizona

Michigan State - Washington State

Northwestern - Kentucky

Ohio State - USC

Penn State - Washington

Wisconsin - Miami

Michigan - South Carolina

Some good match ups this year in my opinion. I really think the Holiday, Cotton, and Orange should be entertaining.

 

[beorach]

In looking at spreads, I think I like Northwestern and Ohio State best.  BC is closer on paper to Iowa than 3, I think, and we all know Michigan State can punch above their weight sometimes.  I voted 6 above.

We got pushed down a notch without a playoff team. OSU will not get their butt handed to them in the CFP. We will do well this bowl season.   I picked 6.

1-0.

Yessiree.  I predict Purdue (underdog) will win against Arizona. 2W-0L ???  BTW, where's my Huskers bowl ??? 

.

 

[Excel]

They're looking good. 

 

[Hooked on Huskers]

They're looking good. 

No, two quick Arizona TDs ...... Purdue becomes a choke skills.  31 to 28

 

[Excel]

Dang, lost track watching the Texas game.

 

[Excel]

2-0!!!!

 

[Hooked on Huskers]

2-0.  West.  Now East.

 

[Excel]

Both were very good games.

 

[Hooked on Huskers]

GO SPARTANS !

(tomorrow against Wazzou)

 

[Excel]

That's going to be a really interesting game. It's either going to be a strangle of a game with MSU winning close, or MSU is going to get blown out.
