Iowa @ No. 16 Iowa State
Brad Schultz, Pregame Editor (4-2): Iowa – I can’t stomach three losses in four years to this team. Please win.
Matt McGowan, Sports Editor (4-2): Iowa – Cyclone students live in trailer parks. I know one.
Chris Meglio, Football Reporter (3-3): Iowa – I’m not pulling an Elise here. Go Hawks.
Collin Carrithers, DITV Sports Director (2-4): Iowa – Kirk becomes the Big Ten’s all-time winningest coach.
Elise Gan, DITV Sports Director (2-4): Iowa State – I hate myself for this, but I see Rocco rockin’ the Hawks. I’m so sorry, Iowa.
John Bohnenkamp, Sports Writing Coach (2-4): Iowa – If you’re worried about Mark Gronowski, stop. Just … stop.
Jason Brummond, Publisher (2-4): Iowa – Cyclones haven’t beaten Iowa in Ames since 2011.
No. 12 Arizona State @ Mississippi State
Schultz: Arizona State – Brandon Walker will be in tears
McGowan: Arizona State – Jayden Daniels’ old, old stomping ground.
Meglio: Arizona State – No Cam Skattebo, no wins.
Carrithers: Arizona State – All bark, no bite.
Gan: Arizona State – Leavitt doesn’t leave any doubt. ASU is a top 10 team.
Bohnenkamp: Arizona State – I was kind of terrible last week, and it’s these kind of games that trip me up.
Brummond: Arizona State – Hopefully the hotel accommodations are suitable for ASU.
No. 11 Illinois @ Duke
Schultz: Illinois – As I’ve said before, they are my CFP darkhorse.
McGowan: Illinois – Some great underground tunnels in Champaign. Durham has what?
Meglio: Illinois – Two basketball schools on the gridiron, only one is good at football.
Carrithers: Illinois – Opposite of that Duke basketball beatdown back in February
Gan: Illinois – Illinois is a powerhouse. Duke will put up a fight, but it’d take a lot to get past this Illini team
Bohnenkamp: Illinois – I kind of like the Illini playing a game like this.
Brummond: Illinois – Not fully sold on the Illini, but they get it done in Durham.
Boston College @ Michigan State
Schultz: Still scarred from the 2015 Big Ten title game, but I’ll still pick Sparty.
McGowan: Michigan State – Never forget the Tim Horton’s drive-thru experience.
Meglio: Michigan State – One of the more underrated football programs in the country.
Carrithers: Boston College – Gut says they’ll steal a game in East Lansing
Gan: Michigan State – I had to sit on this one. BC’s defense is solid, but MSU is home at night… Go Green!
Bohnenkamp: Michigan State – Sparty is at home, which I suppose is an edge.
Brummond: Michigan State – Did the Pinstripe Bowl get moved to September?
No. 15 Michigan @ No. 18 Oklahoma
Schultz: Oklahoma – Both of these teams are overrated. I’ll go with the home team.
McGowan: Oklahoma – Has Bryce Underwood seen a tumbleweed?
Meglio: Michigan – They’re going to cheat their way to winning they’ve always done.
Carrithers: Oklahoma – John Mateer is about to show some nasty work to Michigan
Gan: Michigan – Michigan KO’s OK. Underwood is lookin’ good.
Bohnenkamp: Oklahoma – Sooner win the battle of two of the sport’s top brands.
Brummond: Oklahoma – Michigan hasn’t been as good since changes with its scouting department.
San Diego State @ Washington State
Schultz: San Diego State – Washington State almost lost to Idaho last week.
McGowan: Washington State – “Win or lose, Cougars booze” – Klay Thompson.
Meglio: Washington State – Got nothing clever to say here, but I’m sure Matt does.
Carrithers: Washington State – Mike Leach would be proud.
Gan: San Diego State – Definitely an interesting game choice. SDSU will put some points on the board.
Bohnenkamp: San Diego State – The CW shows some good games. This is not one of them.
Brummond: Washington State – A preview to a future Pac-12 rivalry.
