Big Ten Pick'em 2008: Week 4
This is a big week for the Big Ten. After flopping against USC and Oregon, not many in the media will pay attention to this week's slate. I'm going out on a limb, and pick the Big Ten to sweep all opponents. I think the conference is better than everyone portrays it.
(FYI: Each team name links to its respective official football site. I also used the USA Today Coaches Poll for the team rankings. Any time you see a ranking before a team name at ZN, it's the Coaches Poll rank.)
Northwestern vs. Ohio U. - The ZN pick: N'Western
Indiana vs. Ball State - The ZN pick: Indy
No. 14 Ohio St. vs. Troy - The ZN pick: Ohio St.
No. 15 Penn St vs. Temple - The ZN pick: Penn St
No. 8 Wisconsin vs. BYE - The ZN pick: BYE
Iowa @ Pittsburgh - The ZN pick: Iowa
Michigan vs. BYE - The ZN pick: BYE
Minnesota vs. Florida Atlantic - The ZN pick: Minny
Mich St vs. Notre Dame - The ZN pick: Mich St
Purdue vs. Central Michigan - The ZN pick: Purdue
No. 23 Illinois vs. BYE - The ZN pick: BYE

Somewhat of a bold pick on picking Iowa to win at Pittsburgh, but if Bowling Green won there, then the Hawkeyes should be able to.
I agree with the rest, though CMU could really push Purdue. That one and the Minnesota-FAU game could see a lot of points scored.
