This is the eight year I have done Get Gamm, I'm not sure if you did it prior to 2002 or not, but I cannot believe how fast the years go by. Without further ado...
Eastern Kentucky 17 @ Indiana 20
Akron 7 @ Penn State 48
Montana State 3 @ Michigan State 35
Toledo 23 @ Purdue 24 (probably an upset waiting to happen)
Towson 17 @ Northwestern 32
Northern Iowa 10 @ Iowa 28
Western Michigan 20 @ Michigan 21 (Will RichRod even make it through his second year?)
Missouri 17 @ Illinois 30
Northern Illinois 14 @ Wisconsin 24
Navy 13 @ Ohio State 38
Two predictions before the season starts:
MSU will establish itself as a true contender for the Big Ten title the next few years and second, the Big Ten will have a winning record in bowl games this year.
A clean sweep is very possible with Mizzou-Illini the most tenuous Big Ten victory. As per tradition, little or no commentary the first week.(Do the Gophers not play this weekend?)
Thurs. Eastern KY 14 at INDIANA 24
Sat. Akron 7 at PENN STATE 38
Montana St. 10 at MICHIGAN STATE 31
*Navy 6 at OHIO STATE 27

Oops forgot my picks! I am sure I would have gotten them alright too haha. I will join a week behind
Wow. What a weekend for The Big Ten. I ended up going to the MSU game in my uncle's seats (second row club seats, behind Montana) And holy cow was that an impressive win.
Northwestern and Purdue also looked pretty good as far as the teams that are breaking in new QB's (although Kafka has started a few games at NU).
I didn't see or hear anything about the Buckeyes, but my gut tells me they were prepping for USC and maybe not Navy so much. Of course, there's the possibility that Navy might be pretty good (beat ND and I'll be happy!).
Illinois laid down a stinker, but Juice lost his main receiver and it looks like he couldn't find anyone to take Benn's place.
Overall, great start to the season.
I never saw the Minnesota game addition since Friday for me is loading up the tailgate, and Saturday is gameday.
FWIW, I picked Minny to win 28-24 on a Buckeye board...
I'm late getting my picks in due my inability to get my password to work. (I'm not real computer savvy, can you tell??) Had my picks arrived on time I would have gone 11-0. I have a daughter now attending Mizzou so I had to pick them over the Illini. Certainly didn't think tOSU - Navy game would be close, I was guessing 49-7. I'll let the blog admins and others determine my fate. GO GREEN
