First off, except for TCU, I have never felt that the Cyclones would lose any of the games they’ve played this year — until now. No. 1 Nebraska will be too much in Lincoln for the ‘Clones to handle, but there’s always next year. ISU 21, NU 56.
Iowa will bounce back against a pathetic Illinois team 24-12 and Northwestern will move up in the rankings with a win at home over Penn State.
In the Ivy game of the week, Princeton will trounce Penn, Miami will win at home, Kansas State will beat the Sooners and Texas adds a big “W.”
The Ducks … loooooooose!

Thanks to the Guru’s information about the mighty Drake Bulldogs. I’m, as expected, still in the lead. It’s lonely at the top, but I can live with it. Anyway, here’s my picks.
Illinois over Iowa at home. I could get burnt here. Northwestern wins at home. Washington beats the Ducks of Oregon. Kansas State wins at home against the Sooners. I never thought I’d ever go with the Wildcats. Texas wins one against Texas Tech. Miami spanks Baylor and Pennsylvania beats Princeton. Why you might ask? I have no clue!
Finally we get to the Nebraska game, and yes, I’ll stand strong by my Cyclones. ISU 63, Nebraska 14. If we’re gonna upset the number one ranked team in the country, we might as well do it right.

The ‘Clones will march into Lincoln and show the Cornheads who’s boss. Osborne Boy will be chompin’ on his gum Saturday. The “N” on the helmet means — No parole!
Cyclones 35, Nebraska 7.
Other winners: Illinois, Northwestern, Washington, Kansas St., Texas, Baylor, Pennsylvania.
Cy – big Cyclone person

Cy is still intoxicated from last week’s 24-point win over Okie State, but is looking forward to a trip to Huskerland.
In a shocking development, unveiled minutes before kickoff, Coach McCarney announces that a loophole found in the NCAA rules allows former Cyclone quarterback Marvin Seiler one game of college eligibility. Seiler leads a fired-up ISU squad to a stunning 19-10 victory over the Cornshuckers. Frenzied ISU students who made the trip over to Lincoln tear down the goal posts and carry them 300 miles to rest in Lake LaVerne.
Illinois’ defense will hold Iowa to four field goals in a 17-12 victory at Kinnick Stadium.
Northwestern will prove it is a legit Top 10 team when it stifles Penn State 21-17.
Washington, Kansas State, Baylor and Princeton will also win.

Okay, the season is winding up and so is my domination over everybody else. Hey, I don’t need no stinking winning percentage to prove that I’m a legend. Just ask the wrestlers.
Anyhoo, the Nebraska game this week may look like a blowout to everybody. I know, the ‘Clones are looking tough so I’ll pick a close game ISU 21- Nebraska 20. Who-ee. While K-State continues to roll and Oklahoma dies bigtime. Wildcats 38-OU 18.
In Big 11 games this week, Iowa will continue to get pummeled by real opponents, no New Mexico State’s here. Illinois 38-Iowa 10. Ohh, and Northwestern will beat Penn State by a HU-GE margin, 42 -15.
Washington will beat the Ducks 8-0, while Texas beats the Red Raiders of Texas Tech 18-9. And in future Big 12 action, Baylor will beat the lowly Miami Hurricanes by a whirlwind, 35-10.
And in the coolest game of the week, Princeton will beat Pennsylvania by the princely score of 18-16. That’s the news, ’cause I made it. Catch ya’ when ya’ fall.
