A note of explanation on Staff Picks:
One quick word about those picks, folks. They're made against the
spread. That means this:
MICHIGAN (-10) vs. Michigan State
actually means that if Remy Hamilton picks the
Spartans to win, they don't actually have to win the game - they just
have to be within 10 points of Michigan. So if Michigan wins by nine
points or fewer, Hamilton loses that game - even though he picked
the correct winner.

as they are, will point to last year,
when the super-hyped match-up of
top 15 teams ended up in a lopsided
23-7 maize-and-blue win.
Unfortunately for the Wolverines,
their three MVPs from that great
game - Charles Woodson, Brian
Griese and, of course, Todd Schultz
- are gone.
And Michigan State is licking its
chops at the newly depleted
Michigan secondary.
While Woodson looks on from the

that they still have a heck of an art

produce some noise tomorrow, cour-
tesy of the new state champs.
