****************Big Games For This Week****************

#14 Texas A&M Aggies (7-2) @ #1 Alabama (9-0)= the Aggies are 4-0 on the road, and playing well offensively, and this is a major upset alert for the Crimson Tide after their big game against LSU. My Prediction= Alabama 27 TA&M 23

#2 KSU (9-0) @ #24 TCU (6-3)= This is another major upset alert, if and only if Collin Klein has to miss this game. If he's healthy then KSU should win by 14 or more. But if not this could go OT, or worse. My Prediction= KSU 55 TCU 38

#17 Stanford (7-2) @ #15 Oregon State (8-1) = This should be a heck of a game, but the edge will go to Oregon State as they play really good defense, and great defense at home. Stanford is still working on maturing as a whole. My Prediction = Oregon State 24 Stanford 20

Penn State (6-3) @ #21 Nebraska (7-2) = State has been playing well, since they opened the season on that two game losing streak. Nebraska is tough at home, and looking to stay in the Big 10 race. So this should be a real good one. My Prediction = Nebraska 34 Penn State 31

#28 Northwestern (7-2) @ Michigan (6-3) = The loser is out of the race for the 1st Big 10 Championship game. The Wolverines found a way to win last week without Denard Robinson, and i'm not sure if he will be available. My Prediction = Northwestern 45 Mich 38

#26 West Virginia (6-3) @ #30 Oklahoma State (5-3) = West Virginia is on a 3 game losing streak on their Welcome to the Big 12 tour, and State is playing just about as well anybody offensively, and they are tough at home. My Prediction = Oklahoma State 72 West Virginia 68

Wisconsin (6-3) @ Indiana (4-5) = Shockingly this one is for total control of the Leaders Division, and the probable representative in the 1st Championship game. Indiana is new to this, and Wisconsin has a lot of people who have history with winning games. My Prediction = Wisconsin 38 Indiana 34
