Pick 'ems

Indiana at Iowa

Morehouse - I put a picture of my college ID out on the Twitter this week. I was told it looked like Pauly Shore and something called a “permamullet.” So, I've got that going for me. Iowa 28, Indiana 17

Hlas - I'm going out tonight costumed as a distinguished writer. No one will know it's me. Iowa 23, Indiana 10

Pugliese - There is no Great Pumpkin and no Hoosier upset. Iowa 35, Indiana 10

Campbell - Scariest game of the remaining four and not just because it is Bob Brooks' favorite holiday. Is Halloween a holiday? Brooksie, tweet me on that, will you? Iowa 24, Indiana 20

Malicki - I have a whole new level of respect for everything affiliated with the University of Iowa after hearing Provost Wallace Loh speak this week. He gets it. All of it. Iowa 32, Indiana 7

Brooks - Will the beat go on? Yes. This team is so well grounded and will not take this game off. Iowa uses next-man-in to take care of injuries. Hawks go to 9-0. Here to celebrate Halloween. Iowa 32, Indiana 10

Iowa State at Texas A&M

Morehouse - I'm nominating Hlas for one of those Comedy Central Roasts. Can't wait for Cloris Leachman to gut him like a fish. Texas A&M 28, Iowa State 14

Hlas - Last week, the Cyclones and Cornhuskers combined to make Nebraskans question their faith, their sanity and their reason to exist. Sports truly can be wonderful. Texas A&M 31, Iowa State 26

Pugliese - How about another wild postgame celebration? Iowa State 21, Texas AM 20

Campbell - Looking for more love from Cyclone fans. I picked them last week (yes I did!) and am confidently expecting eight turnovers from the Aggies this Saturday. Iowa State 17, Texas A&M 14

Malicki - On a personal note, my left ear cannot hear as there seems to be some H1N1 or whooping cough or something in there. Or maybe a marble. Texas A&M 40, Iowa State 34

Brooks - A tip of the fedora to Cyclones on their season. With Arnaud and Robinson back, the men of Rhoads have a shot. A&M will not turn it over like Nebraska. Texas A&M 21, Iowa State 17

USC at Oregon

Morehouse - Wait, does Oregon get punchy the running back this week? No? Well then, let's go with those jaunty Trojan fellows. USC 34, Oregon 20

Hlas - Every bowl pairings prediction I've seen this week had Iowa playing the USC-Oregon winner in the Rose Bowl. Does that mean a Hawkeyes rematch with Arkansas State in the Papajohns.com Bowl or Little Caesars Pizza Bowl is off the table? USC 31, Oregon 21

Pugliese - Oregon comes dressed as Upset Special. Oregon 17, USC 16

Campbell - Oregon State upset USC last year but, as Marc Morehouse once observed, the Ducks aren't the Beavers but both make good Halloween costumes. USC 35, Oregon 31

Malicki - On a professional note, people who are mad that I don't pick their favorite team and then write mean things on my Facebook wall will be punished. USC 24, Oregon 23

Brooks - The winner of this game has inside track to Rose Bowl. USC not as good as its recent past but good enough to win this one. USC 38, Oregon 35
