While the
Missouri/
Nebraska game might feaure higher ranked teams (on average), that game only determines the winner of the Big 12 North. This game could determine the winner of the Big 10 and the automatic BCS bid if
Michigan State can pull of the win in
Iowa. Because it's unlikely
Minnesota,
Purdue or
Penn State will be much of a challenge for Sparty.
That being said, I'm taking the Hawkeyes at home in this one. I'm just not convinced Michigan State is the 5th best team in the country. And an 8-point win at
Northwestern last week doesn't instill much confidence.
MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANSIOWA HAWKEYES
