GO THE CARDINAL! GO DUCKS!
Now, to explain the Iowa State gambit: While both Iowa State and Texas Tech have lost to Texas A&M, the Red Raiders just had a big win over Oklahoma and have Texas next week followed by Oklahoma State. I think they'll have their heads elsewhere just long enough to give the Cyclones the advantage.
And a word of warning: I changed my mind on a bunch of these picks--mostly from risk-taking to more of a sure thing--so that tells me we might be in for an Upset Saturday tomorrow. (Or I could just be having a crisis of confidence, AKA injection of common sense!) Good luck to your teams!
