I'm slightly a Big 10 homer, but this week I think it will be tough to argue that there is any bigger games than ones happening in Michigan. If last week was Separation Saturday this should be dubbed the Ryder Cup is on watch that saturday.
5. UCLA vs. Washington in Seattle
Surprisingly Washington is 2-1, having only sustained a loss to Oklahoma in non-beatdown fashion. Really this is the only major conference game with above .500 teams left to choose from so it gets the 5 slot. The Pick: UCLA the Ty machine isn't going to beat a good Pac 10 team yet
4. Ohio St. vs. Penn St. in Columbus
A rematch of last years thrilling Penn St. victory means that the Buckeyes will be overwhelmingly motivated to beat the piss out of Joe Pa's squad and it will happen. No reason to watch this for much more than the first half. The Pick: Ohio St. in a rout
3. Arizona St. vs. Cal in Berkely
I guess this is a big game pitting two ranked teams against each other where the winner will have a chance to join Oregon as contenders for the #2 spot in the Pac 10 standings. Honestly, I have no idea what this outcome will be, havent watched much of either team, and that won't start this weekend. The Pick: Cal cause some of the hype must be true
2. Wisconsin vs. Michigan in Ann Arbor
Wisconsin is under the radar this season, and sports a 3-0 record with wins over mediocre but not miserable teams including at Bowling Green. The reason why this is such a big game is that unlike Auburn who played their biggest game of the season versus LSU than has a team in Buffalo they could beat blindfolded, Michigan is thrust into their Big 10 schedule against a good team. Coming off their biggest victory in September in a decade Michigan better not sleepwalk through this game or else that huge beatdown in South Bend will be quickly forgotten. The Pick: Michigan in a squeeker
1. Notre Dame vs. Michigan St. in East Lansing
If Notre Dame loses in Michigan St., a distinct possibility given they lost to them at home last year, we can fully eliminate Notre Dame from the public eye for two months until they head to LA for their annual beatdown. A loss to Michigan St., completely eliminates Quinn from Heisman talks and puts the final hammer in the Nail for their National Title hopes which is already millimeters close to flatlining. The Pick: Notre Dame pulls away in the 4th
