A Big Ten West battle is set for Saturday when the Iowa Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 in Big Ten) visit the Minnesota Golden Gophers (7-3, 4-3). The Big Ten West is the wildest division in the sport as four teams sit at 4-3 and could win the division over the final two weeks. Below is my college football pick for Iowa vs Minnesota.
