College football Week 8: Pick ‘ems, TV listings

WISCONSIN AT IOWA

Marc Morehouse (3-0, 16-5) — If your Hawkeye flag comes up missing this week, I sincerely apologize for Wisconsin Wife's actions. She's making a web out of them. I still think the trophy for this game should be Dubuque. Wisconsin 19, Iowa 16

Mike Hlas (3-0, 14-7) — When this game is over, people will write songs and poetry about it. Obviously, they'll be drunk. Iowa 14, Wisconsin 13

Jeremiah Davis (3-0, 15-6) — I grew up with the notion that competing for a trophy is worth more than most any other prize. A trophy and the last shot at the Big Ten West is on the line today. Decent stakes. Wisconsin 24, Iowa 20

Beth Malicki (3-0, 17-4) — Joe Winters is likely the only person reading my pick who is happy about it. Even I am sad. Wisconsin 31, Iowa 27

Zach Hanley (2-1, 16-5) — The road team has won the last five in the series, Sconnie makes it six. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a UW grad. Wisconsin 20, Iowa 17

Todd Brommelkamp (2-1, 14-7) — To quote the great Raul Hernandez, 'Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' Badgers!' Wisconsin 24, Iowa 21

TEXAS A&M AT ALABAMA

Morehouse  — The 'A&M' either stands for 'Agricultural and Mechanical' or 'Rick and Morty,' which happens to be my favorite Adult Swim cartoon. Alabama 27, Texas Rick and Morty 21

Hlas — Don't you wish Stanford's band could have a crack at these two fan bases full of hot gas? Alabama 38, Texas A&M 17

Davis — I'm doing a re-watch of the NBC show 'Friday Night Lights' and in it, running back Smash Williams ends up at Texas A&M. Too bad Smash can't play today. Alabama 38, Texas A&M 24

Malicki — I still think Roll Tide is a description of laundry detergent falling out of the back of my minivan and rolling down my steep driveway. Alabama 42, Texas A&M 20

Hanley — Ever since my college roommate bought a Bama T-shirt they've been at or near the top of college football. This one's on you Aaron Olsen. Roll Tide. Alabama 35, Texas A&M 14

Brommelkamp — Everything I know about Alabama Football I learned from watching 'Kiffin's Krimson Korner.' Alabama 35, Texas A&M 14

ARKANSAS AT AUBURN

Morehouse — There's a mini web series called 'BEING Bret Bielema.' Excuse me while I try to process 'mini' and Bret Bielema. Arkansas 17, Auburn 10

Hlas — Coe College (7-0) could beat either one of these two posers, and you all know it. Auburn 37, Arkansas 36

Davis — Bret Bielema got some love from Dallas Clark on Tuesday, saying he vouched for Clark joining the Hawkeyes. He could use Clark on Saturday, too. Auburn 28, Arkansas 14

Malicki — After asking two co-workers at KCRG what in the heck Woo Pig is, I had to turn to the internet. I still don't get it. Auburn 24, Arkansas 21

Hanley — Bret Bielema played at Iowa, coached at Wisconsin and, at Auburn, he loses. Auburn 34, Arkansas 21

Brommelkamp — Did you watch 'BEING Bret Bielema?' I thought Bret was larger than life. His performance wasn't that bad either. Auburn 31, Arkansas 27
