I went with the home team in all of these, except Wisconsin. That one could just as easily go to Michigan State, but somehow I think Wisconsin pulls this one out.

I think Wisconsin will beat MSU pretty badly this time, after having their Nat’l Championship hopes ended by MSU’s Hail Mary in East Lansing.

That’s less than 24 hours away as I post this.

Come on, y’all. Surely I’m not the only one to think West Virginia can win tonight.

Okay! That’s more like it. Still a little over two hours to vote. Game starts in just over an hour! You can even watch a bit of the game before the poll closes! How much help you need? :slight_smile:
