Predictions from the predictable ESPN mouthpieces: All picked Northwestern (and that's legitimate). What I found interesting is that they evidently had no choice. For the first time I can ever remember, the opponent was NEVER mentioned. All pickers dutifully picked NW but failed to name the opponent. Maybe this is nitpicking, but it's hard to fathom picking a winner without saying who they will beat. It would seemingly be so hard to do, that it must be considered as being on purpose. Is that now the new ultimate form of disrespect, to be unnamed? I guess I would have at least expected Herbie or one of others to say something along the lines of....."well, Nebraska wanted to play.......here is their chance". But no, NW appears to be the only team available.
