No. 14 Iowa vs. Middle Tennessee

Pete Ruden, Pregame Editor (10-5): Iowa – I have a friend in Tennessee who’s probably reading this. Hi, Adam.

Anna Kayser, Sports Editor (10-5): Iowa – Iowa moved up FOUR spots after a bye week. Thanks, Michigan.

Robert Read, Assistant Sports Editor (7-8): Iowa – The Hawkeyes should march over Middle Tennessee

Pete Mills, Football reporter (7-8): Iowa – I will be listening to “Rocky Top” all day even though that’s the wrong school from Tennessee.

Lucy Rohden, DITV Director (10-5): Iowa – A Blue Raider would probably beat a Hawkeye. Not sure what makes a blue raider different than a regular one, though.

Jon Rawson, Asst. DITV Sports Director (10-5): Iowa – Middle Tennessee State is actually located in the middle of Tennessee. Like the MIDDLE middle.

Jason Brummond, Publisher (9-6): Iowa – Choose a side, Middle Tennessee.

No. 21 USC vs. No. 17 Washington

Ruden: Washington – If the glove fits.

Kayser: Washington – Washington beat BYU, USC didn’t. Transitive property.

Read: USC – Urban Meyer likes what he’s seeing from his future team.

Mills: USC – Snoop Dogg wore an Iowa sweatshirt one time, so I’ll go with the Trojans.

Rohden: USC – This is tough. I think a husky would beat a trojan, depending on the size of the Husky, of course. Unless the trojan has a sword.

Rawson: Washington – USC is on their third quarterback. That’s the joke.

Brummond: Washington – USC starts “top recruit” with rich parents after another QB injury.

Minnesota vs. Purdue

Ruden: Purdue – Purdue Pete and I are pretty much best friends because we have cool names.

Kayser: Purdue – The ugliest school colors over the ugliest chrome helmets. Sure.

Read: Minnesota – *Insert boat-rowing joke here*

Mills: Minnesota – Battle for Most Average Team in the Big Ten.

Rohden: Minnesota – A train would easily run over a gopher. Well, unless the gopher digs a hole and hides there.

Rawson: Minnesota – This game reminds me of two toddlers getting in a fight at a daycare and one wins because the other choked on their pacifier.

Brummond: Minnesota – Jeff Brohm should have left for Louisville.

No. 24 Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State

Ruden: Oklahoma State – Never bet against a running back named Chuba Hubbard.

Kayser: Kansas State – My stalker went to Oklahoma State. True story.

Read: Oklahoma State – I’m more interested in Mike Gundy’s post-game press conference

Mills: Oklahoma State – No business, all party for Mike Gundy.

Rohden: Kansas State – In a fight, a wildcat would definitely beat a cowboy. Unless the cowboy is a 40-year-old man.

Rawson: Kansas State – Uh, yeah Alex. I’ll take, “Games I Don’t Care About” for $500, please.

Brummond: Oklahoma State – Don’t ask Mike Gundy about a haircut – even if it’s a joke

No. 19 Utah vs. Washington State

Ruden: Washington State – The fact that Mike Leach and Gardner Minshew were on the same team >>>

Kayser: Utah – Washington State is so irrelevant I forgot they were in that crazy 67-63 game on Saturday.

Read: Washington State – Instead of the game, can Mike Leach talk mascots again?

Mills: Utah – Imagine scoring 63 points in a game and losing.

Rohden: Utah – In honor of Mike Leach, I’m picking based off mascots. I think a cougar would beat a Ute because I don’t know what a Ute is.

Rawson: Washington State – Mike Leach could turn me from a decent flag football quarterback to an NFL Draft pick.

Brummond: Utah – Mike Leach knows if a Ute has a rifle, there’s some definite problems.
