PREDICTIONS
Marc Morehouse — I looked it up on the Internet and Kirk Ferentz is the 13th-ranked 'Most famous Kirk.' He's ranked behind Kirk Herbstreit and Montreal Canadian hockey player Kirk Muller. Kirk Douglas is the No. 1 Kirk and, of course, Captain Kirk from 'Star Trek' isn't real. Michigan State 31, Iowa 27
Mike Hlas — Remember, we're not under oath here. Iowa 42, Michigan State 40 (3 OT)
Scott Dochterman — Whoever designated 13 as an unlucky number never started a season 12-0. Or had a 12-0 poster. Iowa 31, Michigan State 27
Scott Saville — I hope the country can deal with the 13-0 Hawkeyes in the playoffs. Iowa 27, Michigan State 24
Beth Malicki — Anyone who was an Iowa disbeliever at the beginning of the season should be enjoying that crow right about now. Iowa 23, Michigan State 20
Bob Brooks — These two teams mirror each other. There will be a couple of breaks, which way they go will determine the outcome. Two excellent QBs on the big stage. Iowa will get the breaks to win. Iowa 28, Michigan State 21
America — Overwhelmingly, national media picking Spartans over Hawkeyes
