Notre Dame is favored by 11 over MSU; this has to be the widest point spread between the two in years; and, that's no surprise after MSU's collapse last week. Methinks the game will be closer, or else the wheels will fall off the Doctor's bus, with an MSU team a la the highly-touted 2002 team of Bobby Williams.

Northwestern is favored by 4 over Syracuse; Purdue by 14.5 over N. Illinois; Michigan by 23 over EMU; JoePa by 28 over Temple; Iowa by 6 over Arizona; Akron by 3 over Indiana; Ohio State by 21 at Toledo; and, Cal by 12 at Minnesota.
