V 4 MARK SNYDER 4f Guest Selector REMY HAMILTON I 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.

Some Michigan fans, disillusioned PICK UP FOOTBALL SATURDAY TOMoRRow. 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 NFL and recently suspended safety Marcus Ray auditions for American Express commercials, Michigan State receivers Plaxico Burress and Gari Scott should have fun playing keep-away with the ragged leftovers. On the other side of the ball, Tom Brady will be wishing he hadn't beaten out, seventh-year senior/waste of scholarship Scott Driesbach for the starting job after a few up-close encounters with Robaire Smith. Yeah, it'll be ugly. But Ann Arborites can take solace in the fact that they still have a heck of an art fair.
