Big Ten Bloggers Pick’Em – Indiana blows it

The BBC may have gained a little ground by going 7-1 for the weekend, but we were so close to 8-0, and then Indiana remembered what it was like to play Hoosier football again.

Oh well, let’s take a look back;

Here’s what I saw for this weekend;

Ohio University at Northwestern – Ohio is still the best 0-win team, but they hurt themselves a LOT this weekend by not taking advantage of Wildcat misfortune.  Tyrell Sutton had 9 carries before getting injured, and the Bobcats picked off four interceptions.  Games like that should equal a Northwestern loss.

• Actual winner – Northwestern

Florida Atlantic at Minnesota – Is Minnesota better than Michigan State?  Common opponents say yes, as the Gophers ran over FAU.  It was never close, as Minny gained 441 total yards.  Now they have their sights set on a perfect September, but a visit to Ohio State looms on Saturday.  Gopher fans are saying “yes”.  Gopher fans have forgotten that Montana State is not a good preparation for the college football team with the most wins over the last 4 seasons.

Temple at Penn State – Same story, different week.  Cupcake opponent, players arrested, coach poops pants.

Troy at Ohio State -The Buckeyes do not lose to up-and-comers.  Troy’s good, but not that good.

Iowa at Pittsburgh – Neither team had faced a decent opponent yet (and still haven’t), and I thought the home field for Pitt would make the difference.  Maybe it did.

Central Michigan at Purdue – Joe Tiller looks like he could have a heart attack at any minute.  After the last two games, so does every Purdue fan in the world.

Notre Dame at Michigan State – Javon Ringer had 201 yards rushing and 2 TDs.  Last week, the entire Michigan team had 159 yards rushing and 1 TD.  Little Brother?  Not any more.

• Actual winner – Michigan State

Ball State at Indiana – Sigh.  Once again, the late games screw up my perfect day.  Kellen Lewis couldn’t complete a pass to save his life, completing only 3 in the first half and going 11 of 25 on the day.
