Bring on our "RIVAL" ???

Welcome to rivalry week at Ross Ade Stadium, scratching your head saying wait isn't bucket week next week, well yes it is and we are scratching our heads right there with you. You see when the Big Ten added Nebraska and went to two divisions they chose to give every team a protected rival from the other division and after it broke down it came out that our new protected rival is Iowa, IOWA?? WHAT!? It makes sense when you look at the other protected match ups but it's still funny. Anyway, the Boilers could get Bowl eligible for the first time since 07 with a win on Senior Day, and although I make fun of it I would be all for a December trip to Detroit to support this team in a crappy bowl. Onto the picks

No guest picker this week I was both too lazy/too busy to ask someone so it's me flying solo. Have I mentioned how much I appreciate you all guest picking with me you are all awesome!! Teams off this week, Pittsburgh Steelers, West Virginia,

TENNESSEE 35 vandy 17

Utah State Aggies at Idaho Vandals(Shife)
What will come first, Shife's new baby or the Vandals get another win? Might be a close contest because I think the Vandals have a shot here. Lets VTFU boys!
IDAHO 38 utah state 34

Eastern Michigan Eagles at Kent State Golden Flashes(DG)
Didn't EMU used to be the Hurons? Kent State wins
KENT STATE 28 eastern michigan 14

Clemson Tigers(Topolk, Emily) at North Carolina State Wolfpack
This could be a close call for the Tigers, but I am sticking with them to not lose another game this year. On a side note the pack would totally dominate Clemson in cheerleading did you know NC State has a pyramid named after them called a Wolf Wall
CLEMSON 35 nc state 21

Wisconsin Badgers at Illinois Fighting Illini(Delta)
If it weren't for special teams and a crazy hail mary Bucky Badger could be playing for a national title berth. Instead they control their own destiny to get to Indy for the Big Ten Title game. Zook might be out after this season at Illinois
WISCONSIN 55 illinois 10

Georgia Southern Eagles at Alabama Crimson Tide(Booya, Gary, Cheryl)
Ga Southern is apparently a quality team in their division and wtf is Bama doing playing this game now?? Won't be close
ALABAMA 42 georgia southern 17

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets(Emily) at Duke Blue Devils
Well Duke fans at least basketball has started!
GEORGIA TECH 55 duke 7

Nebraska Cornhuskers(Travis) at Michigan Wolverines
Good match up here, and a good win for the Huskers last week in a tough situation. The Big House will be amped up for this one, and will edge the Huskers
MICHIGAN 35 nebraska 28

Boise State Broncos(Duck) at San Diego State Aztecs
I wouldn't want to be SDSU this week, a pretty pissed off Boise team comes to town. I really think the Broncos need to find a 5 star kicker, they will roll in this one
BOISE STATE 49 san diego state 10

Iowa Hawkeyes at Purdue Boilermakers
Could be win #6 however a glaring stat from this year we have not won back to back games all year. Believe me i'd much rather get bowl eligible this week than have it all rest on having to beat our real rival IU the following Saturday. Should be a good game and I think the Boilers get it done in another crazy heart pounding way. Boilers win!
PURDUE 31 iowa 27

Hail Hail to old Purdue all Hail to our old gold and black
Hail Hail to old Purdue our friendship may she never lack
Ever Grateful, ever true thus we raise our song a new FIRE UP!
Of the days we've spent with you, all Hail our own Purdue
GO BOILERS!

BTFU!!!
