Another week, another Pickled Pigskin Picks. Here are your ten choices. Now, as you read through the list, marvel at something we in the Middle Mississippi Valley marvel at: Iowa State is ranked and Iowa is not. Usually, Iowa State is just rank, but not this year. (FYI- “rank” is synonymous with the smell of your average Iowa hog farm.)
Chas won it last week and picked the tie breaker. ost years there is no question as to the result when anyone but Alabama or Auburn played LSU, but this year. This year LSU is rank.
Get your choices in before NOON EDT Saturday.

All but the 2 late games are complete. So far it looks like Janice will win, based on her having all 8 correct so far, and the nearest other has 6 of 8. There is no way the others will get a better score than her, regardless of the outcome of the last two games, so Janice wins this week! ATTAGIRL, Janice!
I’ll post the final results tomorrow, since the last game won’t won’t end until after midnight Central time.
So, Janice, what’s the tie breaker for next week? Here’s the schedule, barring any COVID delays: https://www.espn.com/college-football/schedule/_/week/9
