The Pick

Penn State and Michigan both enter this game needing to prove themselves. They're both undefeated, they're both ranked in the top 10, but they have yet to face any real challenges. This is going to be a defense-heavy game as Penn State attempts to stuff Blake Corum and Michigan steps it up to stymie Sean Clifford. I think this is a classic low-scoring Big Ten matchup.
