Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! How about a little Pickled Pigskin to go along with the turkey and dressing/stuffing? (BTW- It’s dressing outside the turkey, stuffing in it.) By that I mean that the first game is Thursday evening. So after that first round and before you decide between the pumpkin and apple pies, pick the winners of these games. Once again, there is a secondary tie breaker, along with the main one, chosen by Moi (Peter) since I won last week, along with three alternate games in case of cancelations.
So get those guesses in before 7:00PM EST Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020.

Here are my picks:
Iowa State -It’s a really odd year when Iowa State is ranked higher than #20, and even odder when ranked higher than Texas!
Purdue
Oregon
Oklahoma State
Michigan – Penn State is having it’s worst year ever! They are 0-5 and soon to be 0-6.
Mizzou 35-10
Alabama – It’s another down year for the Tigers. If this were played in their field, they’d have a chance.
Boise State
Utah State (0-4)
Iowa 24-21 It’s an odd year when Iowa State is ranked higher than Iowa, and even odder when both are ranked higher than Nebraska. “Oh, how the mighty have fallen!”
Alternate games:
Wyoming
Stanford
Georgia State – This is the alternate pillow fight.
