Northwestern over Iowa in Iowa. Northwestern is coming off a tough 10 point loss at the hands of #3 Notre Dame while Iowa is currently on a two game losing streak but the CFP somehow still list them in the top 25. Not to mention that Northwestern is 5 and 1 in the Big 10. Northwestern is the better team and will prove it this weekend. Texas down again, this time at the hands of Texas Tech. Despite two straight losses Texas is still at 19. Texas Tech was our upset pick for last week but fell just short, this week they come through. Colorado over Washington State. Colorado is on a 4 game losing streak after starting the season 5 and 0. The problem is that Washington State has scrapped through the last couple weeks and that is down to the pressure they are feeling to sneak into the top 4. Colorado pulls this one out against a pressured Washington State team.
