Awful week for me. I'm hoping that Mizzou and Miami win.

Next week looks thin for good games I might have to add some traditional rivalries like Georgia-Florida.

There are 4 good games next week- Mich St @ Iowa, Mo @ Neb, Ore @ USC and Utah @ Air Force-- I'm thinking about adding Fl St @ NC St, Ga @ Fl, maybe TT @ aTm, Ky @ Miss St.

Definitely these two.

Maybe Baylor @ Texas, Michigan @ Penn State.

I like being able to pick at least 7 or 8 games a week.

Terrible Saturday for me. Hawks lose, traffic and weather screw over a usually increidibly good night at my restaurant, and my picks were brutal.

I am permanently boycotting picking any more ND games. Haven't had one right yet out of, what, 5? 6?

Congrats Mizzou fans ! That's such a great win for you guys.

* The all-time series between Wisconsin and Iowa is now tied at 42-42-2.
* Wisconsin beat a ranked opponent in back-to-back games for the first time since Oct. 9-16, 2004.
* Wisconsin scored more than 24 points against Iowa for the first time since 2001. UW had only topped 20 points twice in that span.
* Iowa had not given up a rushing touchdown to a running back all season - UW had three (both of the rush TDs against the Hawkeyes were by Michigan QBs).
* Aaron Robinson became the third running back to top 100 yards against Wisconsin in the last 21 games.
* The Badgers haven't had a 100-yard rusher at Iowa since 1998.
* J.J. Watt now has three blocked extra points, which ties him for third-most in UW history.
