Big Ten and big game college football expert picks and predictions for Rivalry Week. Bring on Ohio State vs. Michigan.

Our writers pick all the Big Ten games and biggest national ones one last time for the regular season. #B1G

Every year (and every week of the season) we have a little friendly competition among our writers for world domination when it comes to picking the Big Ten football games and some of the bigger college football contests as the season goes on.

After 12 weeks of play, it still looks like Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State are the class of the league and the East division with the Buckeyes and Wolverines on a massive collision course Saturday. Everyone but Iowa is an average mess with Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, and Wisconsin.

How will Week 13 play out in the Big Ten with rivalry games taking center stage? Our writers take turns picking all the games in the Big Ten straight up and against the spread. and since we’re in the full swing of conference play now, we’ll do the same drill on the top six contests in the nation outside of that (our “pick six”).

As a reminder, if there’s an asterisk next to the pick, that means the team will win, but not cover. If there is a tie, rather than have a cage match or old-fashioned duel, we’ll settle it with less violence and go with the tried, yet true, coin flip where George Washington has the say.

EXAMPLE:
– If you think Ohio State will win minus 3.5 over an opponent: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win outright: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win, but NOT cover: OSU*

The West still looks like a mess, but Iowa is one game up on the likes of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Nebraska. One of those teams will sort it all out eventually — we think.

Our writers get the annual competition going on picking the Big Ten football games and some of the bigger ones of the week outside of the conference.

Every year (and every week of the season) we have a little friendly competition among our writers for world domination when it comes to picking the Big Ten football games and some of the bigger college football contests.

It’s a clean slate as we break the seal on the 2023 season, but it looks like Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State are the class of the league and in the same East division as we get ready for what should be one whale of a season again.

So, how will Week 1 play out in the Big Ten? Our writers take turns picking all the games in the Big Ten straight up and against the spread. As the season gets further and we’re in the full swing of conference play, we’ll do the same drill on the top six contests in the nation outside of that (our “pick six”).

Here are our expert picks for Week 1 as we kick the season off.

Conference championship game Buckeyes Wire predictions

We keep things going with our weekly picks and predictions with our writers selecting the winners of the top six conference championship games.

Ohio State may be sitting at home after losing to Michigan for the second straight year, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some quality games on tap for this weekend with all the conference championship games going on. In fact, if you are still rooting for the Buckeyes to get into the College Football Playoff (and why wouldn’t you), you should be closely tuned to things, especially with what’s happening in Las Vegas with the Pac-12 Championship game. Root for a USC loss and Ohio State is most likely in all of the fun again.

But there’s more than that. Every year (and every week of the season) we have a little friendly competition among our writers for world domination when it comes to picking Big Ten and some of the bigger college football games.

With the conference relegated to just one game now with the Big Ten Championship game in Indy between Michigan and Purdue, we change gears a little bit and make our predictions and picks against the spread and straight up for all of the conference championship games.

So, who will take home trophies this weekend? Here’s how we see things, but of the “pick six” variety of the six most-followed championship games.

As a reminder, if there’s an asterisk next to the pick, that means the team will win, but not cover. If there is a tie, rather than have a cage match or old-fashioned duel, we’ll settle it with less violence and go with the tried, yet true, coin flip where George Washington has the say.

EXAMPLE:
– If you think Ohio State will win minus-3.5 over an opponent: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win outright: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win, but NOT cover: OSU*

The Big Ten race is coming down to Ohio State and Michigan, which have a cataclysmic matchup taking place at noon in the ‘Shoe Saturday. Someone from the West division will try to stand in the way when the Big Ten Championship game is played in Indy, most likely either Iowa or Purdue.
