I'm not going to harp too much on some of the other games this week, but I have these thoughts:
Upset special: Call me crazy, but I have Michigan upsetting Wisconsin in The Big House tomorrow. I know WIsconsin's ranked ninth, and Michigan just got their you-know-whats handed to them by Notre Dame, but the fact is - the Badgers always seem to struggle any time they play Michigan in Ann Arbor. If this game was in Madison, I'd be picking Wisconsin without hesitation. But something tells me you're going to see an inspired Michigan team after two weeks to recover from the debacle in South Bend.
Back in Black: Georgia is wearing those awesome looking black jerseys against Alabama. Chalk that up as a win for the Bulldogs in Round 1 of 2 against the Crimson Tide this year.
White Out: Penn State beats Illinois. No questions asked. At Beaver Stadium, with the "White Out," and it's a payback game for the Nittany Lions. Not to mention Penn State looks like a legit title contender while the Fighting Illini have had some struggles thus far in 2008.
Bo knows: Take Nebraska going away against Virginia Tech tomorrow night. If you recall last year, when LSU manhandled the Hokies, Bo Pelini, now the Huskers head coach, was LSU's defensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the Hokies' offense hasn't really changed much from last year. Nebraska might not win 41-7, but with this game in Lincoln, I see blowout written all over this one.
other Big Ten: The three other games featuring Big Ten teams (this excludes Iowa, who I have winning 24-21 tomorrow over Northwestern) are Minnesota-Ohio State, Michigan State-Indiana, and Purdue-Notre Dame. I see the Boilers leaving South Bend with a victory over the Fighting Irish, Michigan State should have no problems with IU, and Ohio State will hand Minnesota its first loss of 2008.
I'll be back to discuss more after this weekend.

B Stiles HOW AWESOME WAS THAT WISCONSIN GAME. I just loved seeing Bret Bielema's face after he thought the 2 point conversion was complete...and they a flag was thrown. So much for being number 9...HA
Yeah, I think people have been sleeping on Michigan.
Part of this is because they have a white running back.
