Week 10 11/4 (SAT)

The Buckeyes and Hawkeyes have had some barnburners over the last decade that has gone against Iowa. 2009 was a great year as Iowa went to the Orange Bowl, but a near loss to Ohio State cost them a trip to Pasadena. This could be payback time if Iowa bottles up the run game of Ohio State like they often do in night games at Kinnick.

Throw in what hopefully will be a more competitive LSU-Alabama matchup along with ‘Bedlam’ and this is one of the better weeks of the entire season on paper. It gives you plenty of star power, which is what the fans. Anytime nearly half of the ranked teams are seemingly paired up with solid competition, it is a win for the fans.

Ohio State at Iowa; Virginia Tech at Miami FL; LSU at Alabama; Auburn at Texas A&M; Texas at TCU; Penn State at Michigan State; Clemson at NC State; South Carolina at Georgia; Oklahoma at Oklahoma State
