Iowa State Cyclones (1-0) at # 9 Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0)- SAT 3:30PM EDT
Kirk Ferentz will be on the sidelines at Iowa City for the next ten years after this, but the question is how long can the Hawkeyes keep quarterback Ricky Stanzi healthy at cross-state rivals Iowa State come to Kinnick Stadium?
Pick: Iowa 41-20

# 17 Florida State Seminoles (1-0) at # 10 Oklahoma Sooners (1-0)- SAT 3:30PM EDT

In a rematch of the 2002 BCS National Championship at the Fiesta Bowl, The Ohio State Buckeyes host the Miami Hurricanes at the Shoe. After this Hurricane leaves Columbus, the Buckeyes chances of winning a National Championship will go with it as Miami is hungry for revenge almost eight years since the Fiesta Bowl showdown as Miami comes to Columbus looking for both revenge and respect. Just watch out for flying Silver Bullets, Miami!
Pick: Miami 31-28

Colorado Buffaloes (1-0) at California Golden Bears (1-0)- SAT 3:30PM EDT

Michigan Wolverines (1-0) at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1-0)- SAT 3:30PM EDT- SPORTS CORNER CO-GAME OF THE WEEK
The Michigan Wolverines are looking to rebuild and redeem theirselves as they travel to South Bend in this perennial rivalry. Last week, Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson ran all over UConn. This week, they want to go 2-0, as this is the only speed bump in their first five games this season. Notre Dame beat Purdue last week, and would love to be 2-0 in the Brian Kelly era in South Bend.
Pick: Notre Dame 27-21

University of Nevada-Las Vegas Rebels (0-1) at # 20 Utah Utes (1-0)- SAT 4PM EDT
UNLV, off a loss to Wisconsin visits Utah, fresh off a season-opening win over Pitt.
Pick: Utah 38-3

# 18 Penn State Nittany Lions (1-0) at # 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (1-0)- SAT 7:00PM EDT- SPORTS CORNER COLLEGE CO-GAME OF THE WEEK
This would make a great doubleheader: Miami-OSU and then Penn State-Alabama. This could be the earliest "Game of the Year", as the Nittany Lions visit Tuscaloosa to play the defending National Champs, Alabama. This might not be the only Big Ten team Bama plays, if # 1 and # 2 hold up throughout the year. Last week, Penn State started a true freshman at quarterback for the first time ever and beat Youngstown State 44-14. Alabama ain't no I-AA school. They're the # 1 team in the nation, and they will show that in front of a national crowd.
Pick: Alabama 38-14
