Yep we all have the week off and get to enjoy one of the final two weeks watching everyone else play. I know I’m excited for it and I’m sure many of you are as well.

There’s some really good games on tap and one in particular will help shape the Big Ten conference championship determining who Oregon will face.

Let’s take a look at a few games and I’ll make my predictions on who wins each of them. No, I’m not picking against the spread.

Indiana @ Ohio State

9:00 AM PST – FOX

Here is the one I know Duck fans will be up and ready for. It’s going to be really interesting to see how this one plays out. Our first real glimpse of just how good Indiana is because we don’t know. It’s great to see the Hoosiers back in this position but I have a really tough time believing they are for real. I think we’ll see Ohio State win a relatively close one but there’s no doubt the Buckeyes are playing minus some key players.

Ohio State 31-26

BYU @ ASU

12:30 PM PST – ESPN

There’s no doubt who I’m rooting for in this one. And it’s amazing to see Kenny Dillingham in this position in just his second season at ASU to be competing in a game like this. It certainly won’t be easy and the Sun Devils can not afford any mistakes in this one. But being at home with the crowd feeding them energy, I think Dilly pulls off a stunner in Tempe.

ASU 28-24

Wisconsin @ Nebraska

12:30 PM PST – BTN

This was the last game I listed. I thought about going with Oregon State/Wazzu but that won’t be a game and nobody wants to watch the CW. Maybe Ole Miss @ Florida turns into a game. But coming off my visit to Madison I’m pulling for you Badgers. But this will be a tough one.

Wisconsin 24-17

ARMY @ Notre Dame

4:00 PM PST – NBC

The game we didn’t know we needed prior to the start of the season. I still have my doubts about Notre Dame and ARMY will be battle for them. Marcus Freeman really needs this win to keep his team in the college football playoffs. Probably not a game I will watch from start to finish but certainly one I’ll keep an eye on.

Army 24-20

USC @ UCLA

7:00 PM PST – NBC

Imagine thinking to yourself in August this is a game Lincoln Riley must win. But here we are with the Trojans playing some pretty bad football this season. And to start the season, it looked like Deshaun Foster was in over his head but here he is making the Bruins better. I’m not kidding when I say Riley must win this game. He will get roasted for a long time losing the battle for L.A.

UCLA 39-37
