No. 18 Iowa at No. 17 Penn State

Adam Hensley (Pregame Editor, 21-14): Penn State – Surprise me, Iowa.

Pete Ruden (Sports Editor, 22-13): Penn State – Penn State is tripping for not naming its mascot Simba.

Anna Kayser (Asst. Sports Editor, 22-13): Iowa – New Kirk is the best Kirk.

Jordan Zuniga (Football reporter, 23-12): Iowa – Hawkeyes will have the Nittany Lions nitting up L’s.

Lucy Rohden (Co-DITV Sports Director, 23-14): Iowa – Saquon Barkley almost killed me last Iowa/Penn State game, and I still haven’t gotten over it.

Beau Bowman (Co-DITV Sports Director, 25-10): Penn State – Since Penn State @ Iowa 2017, I’ve suffered from crippling depression.

Jason Brummond (Publisher): Iowa – The 6-4 game remains my favorite of the Ferentz era.

No. 9 Florida at No. 7 Georgia

Hensley: Georgia – Tim Tebow is a decent author. Quarterback? Not so much.

Ruden: Georgia – Tim Tebow should still be in the NFL, though.

Kayser: Georgia – This is a lame top-10 matchup.

Zuniga: Georgia – Florida wins overrated SEC team of the year.

Rohden: Florida – Pete, just fyi, Tim Tebow graduated.

Bowman: Georgia – The Daily Iowan > The Independent Florida Alligator

Brummond: Georgia – This is such a rivalry that the schools don’t agree when it started. #fact

Purdue at Michigan State

Hensley: Purdue – Which is more elusive? Bigfoot or a Mark Dantonio smile?

Ruden: Purdue – How could you ever bet against a guy who played in the OG XFL? Football guy.

Kayser: Michigan State – I have no rationale for hating Purdue, but all I know is that I do.

Zuniga: Michigan State – Spartans in a Blough-out.

Rohden: Michigan State – My pick for Sparty to win the conference may have been dumb, but at least I’m owning it.

Bowman: Michigan State – “WHAT ARE Y’ALL’S GOALS FOR DA SEASON?”

Brummond: Purdue – Dantonio calls his team’s performance B.S. after this one.

Tennessee at South Carolina

Hensley: South Carolina – It’s against the law to buy or sell electric eels in South Carolina. There go my spring-break plans.

Ruden: South Carolina – TBT to when I bought a South Carolina had at the College World Series. I still feel connected.

Kayser: Tennessee – South Carolina’s logo concerns me.

Zuniga: South Carolina – The Gamecocks are trained fighters, Tennessee has just a bunch of Volunteers.

Rohden: South Carolina – Cocks.

Bowman: South Carolina – FACT: In Knoxville, it is illegal to catch a fish with a lasso. I suggest using Poké balls.

Brummond: South Carolina – I’ve blocked out everything Tennessee football since Jan. 2, 2015.

Texas Tech at Iowa State

Hensley: Texas Tech – Death, taxes, and Iowa State going through three quarterbacks in a season.

Ruden: Iowa State – Consider this a Purdy easy win (I’m mad at myself for making this pun).

Kayser: Texas Tech – Iowa State has never let me down, but I don’t have much hope on this one.

Zuniga: Iowa State – It won’t be Purdy, but a win is a win.

Rohden: Iowa State – I dedicate this pick to the dinosaurs of the Iowa State band. First interesting thing to come out of ISU football.

Bowman: Texas Tech – ISU claims the No. 1 Fashion School in the Midwest, yet its football uniforms look like a smashed McDouble.

Brummond: Texas Tech – Obviously.
