On Friday morning, I put out my predictions for every Week 2 college football game involving a Big Ten team. While wise readers know that my opinions are the only ones that truly matter, there are some of you out there, believe it or not, who want to hear what other writers have to say.
Those in the latter category are in luck, because each week this season, we will be doing a predictions roundtable with College Wire writers from each of the Big Ten West Coast schools. Obviously, my picks will be the best, but let’s take a look at what each of us thinks will happen this weekend.
(Note: We will not be picking games vs. FCS opponents. Also, we forgot to include the Miami Ohio-Rutgers game in our roundtable this week.)
