I would set the over/under at 2.5.  

I don't see any sure losses, but:

Sparty has a challenging game.

Penn State is reeling. 

Northwestern may have trouble with BC.

Minnesota and Indiana face low tier foes... but they are still Minnesota and Indiana.

In conclusion, aside from Sparty, the B1G SHOULD win every other game...

I so wish PSU was stuck with Air Force this week instead of Navy. Navy's defense is horrific, and their triple option is not as fearsome as it has once been (I still chose Navy in my Pick em, because seriously, fuck Penn State).

I think AF would probably drub PSU by two or three scores.

My gut instinct, despite what happened last week, is that the B1G could go undefeated this week. MSU should beat ND and NW should beat BC. If the Big Ten loses a game not one of those two (other than IU or Minnesota) it will be a major upset.

The Big Ten went 10-2 the first week, and 6-6 the second week. Fairly significant drop, to be sure.

That being noted, I would take a tentative over on the 2.5 mentioned. The only games where I think there is a significant chance that the Big Ten might lose are MSU / ND, which will be a tough game for both teams, and Northwestern / Boston College, because it always seems like Northwestern is one of those rare teams that could win or lose on a given day simply because they are what they are. I am not sure  what to make of Penn State - I have a feeling that even Navy might give them problems despite being a very budget version of Air Force. 

I would guess that the conference goes 9-3 or 10-2 this week.

That's true, but I do admire Zach Maynard for doing the honorable thing and sacking himself because his OL cannot give him more than a few seconds to read the field, and apparently, they don't speak "blitz" either.

With Lupoi, but 2012 cratered post-Lupoi and 2013 has almost nothing. If Tedford doesn't turn it around this year the entire program enters lame-duck status.

California is a country-sized state.  You should be able to play third fiddle there and still pick up some talent.

Obviously UCLA has struggled in recent years, but they have a new coach and are obviously recruiting California as well.

Where's Charlie Bauman when you need him?

To consider Stanford a part of a "state." For Stanford's purposes, "in-state recruiting" is basically "academic kids." Sometimes they're in California (which, great!) and sometimes they're around. So Stanford sometimes fights USC, Cal, UCLA, but they're really fishing in different pools. 

Stanford vs. Notre Dame is probably the most common recruiting battle.

Picked Wake Forest to upset FSU today. It's a bit of a long shot, but I like WFs better coaching over FSUs better recruiting. It's weird to see a few thousand empty seats at FSU. Don't their fans know they're ranked #5?

EDIT: well it looks like today isn't going to be that day when FSU lays its annual giant turd. I thought at home versus WF would be the perfect time for them to go all supercat on everybody.

Looks like there are around 10,000 fans missing at Florida State. Is it because of their opponent or do their students not get to the game on time either?

I really don't think any students get to games on time.  At least not snacky-cake games which I assume is how they think of Wake even if it is in conference.  Because beer, man, 20-year-olds love that shit.

Im really hoping Cal can give them a game.  Just watched Miller go 55 yards for a score.  That guy really needs to work on ball security.  he carries the ball like it's a handbag.

 

BTW did anyone hear Jerry Dinardo say Braxton Miller is a better passer than Denard Ronbinson?  I mean, neither is going to be confused for Peyton manning, but this is just further evidence that Dinardo is a raging moron

It's the fact that all these guys were waiting for years to take pot shots at everything michigan and when the winning keeps going they will shut up.

I always wondered that about FSU as well as Miami, USC, and UCLA. It's not at all uncommon to see their stadiums below capacity during regular season games. Spoiled fans? Bandwagon fans? Bad fans?...probably just bad bandwagon fans

EDIT: Holy crap just saw the stadium pan-out view. There's probably 5,000-10,000 empty seats for a home game for their #5 seminoles. Come on

The Ohio defense helped Cal quite a bit and sort of made this look easy by tackling everyone except the guy with the ball on one play and watching short passes zip  by their heads to open Cal receivers. 7-6 Golden Bears.
