Rivalry week in college football is officially here, and that means the regular season finale of my Big Ten predictions is upon us! Each week this season, I will be making my predictions for every Big Ten football game. These picks are not against the spread, but rather straight up which team I think will win.
Over the past two weeks combined, I have gotten just one game wrong. Can I stay hot to close out the regular season? Here are my picks for Week 14:

Iowa has won nine of the past 10 games in this series. Make it 10 of 11.
Indiana over Purdue (Friday)
Indiana is one of the two best teams in the conference. Purdue might be the worst.
Michigan over Ohio State
Ohio State looks like the best team in the country right now. They have a great chance to win a second consecutive national championship. But until proven otherwise, Michigan still owns them.
Oregon over Washington
Back when Kalen DeBoer and Michael Penix Jr. were in Seattle, the Huskies owned Oregon. Unfortunately for Washington fans, DeBoer is now in Tuscaloosa and Penix is in Atlanta.

It looked for a while like Wisconsin might finish winless in Big Ten play, but the Badgers found a way to upset Washington and Illinois. They do not win this one, however.
Penn State over Rutgers
After starting the year as the preseason No. 2 team in the country, Penn State avoids the embarrassment of missing a bowl game altogether.
Maryland over Michigan State
The Spartans join Purdue in finishing 0-9 in Big Ten play.
USC over UCLA
UCLA is a horrible football team. The Trojans simply cannot afford to lose this game.
Illinois over Northwestern
The Illini bounce back from last week's embarrassing loss to Wisconsin.
