Normally I try to come up with a fun or interesting topic to lead this piece off each week. Some weeks it works well. Other weeks, my pregame writing falls flat.


But I don’t really feel the need to comment on too much this time of year. It’s time for a big batch of rivalry games.

 

These are the games that matter even if the teams facing each other are 1-10 and 0-10. Like two state rivals would ever be that bad at the same time.

 

What’s that? There is a game like that on the upcoming schedule this week? Yes, even the Apple Cup (or the “Crapple Cup” as ESPN.com’s Ted Miller dubbed the game this week) could have some drama. Because someone has to win it; there are no ties in college football.

 

But I guess Donovan McNabb already knew that.

 

On to the picks:

 

 

 

Ohio State 31, Michigan 13
