IOWA CITY, Iowa – Week three was a struggle, to say the least.

From the Iowa football team losing to North Dakota State to our three prognosticators combining to pick just four of 15 games correctly, it was tough last Saturday. The only bright spot was Tyler Devine being right with three of his five picks.

But now it’s time for everybody to move on to week four, which has Iowa facing Rutgers in the Big Ten opener on Saturday in New Brunswick, N.J.

Tyler was so impressive last week that we’ve turned this week’s picks into a family affair with Tyler’s father our guest picker.

Pat Harty

Iowa 38, Rutgers 21: Kirk Ferentz shows that he isn’t predictable by dressing like Elvis during the game and by calling 14 double-reverses, five flea-flickers and by never running on first down.

Michigan State 20, Wisconsin: 17: With the Badgers trailing 10-3 at halftime, Barry Alvarez announces that he will replace Paul Chryst as head coach on an interim basis until Monday.

Iowa State 31, San Jose State 28: Iowa State postpones classes for all of next week to celebrate this historic victory over the best college football team from San Jose, Calif.

Arkansas 28, Texas A&M 27: Bret Bielema celebrates the victory by eating…a lot.

Tennessee 23, Florida 21: The Volunteers move a step closer to having their upcoming loss to Alabama on Oct. 15 at home really mean something.

Last week: 1-4

Overall: 9-6

Tyler Devine

Iowa 31, Rutgers 24: Since no one likes New Kirk anymore, Kirk Ferentz resorts to Old Kirk and only allows Greg Davis to call running plays after Iowa takes a 31-0 halftime lead.

Michigan State 25, Wisconsin 18: Mark Dantonio smiles for the first time ever, which creates more headlines than the Spartan’s victory.

Iowa State 9, San Jose State 6: Matt Campbell and his assistants are awarded contact extensions and the key to the city after a stunning last-second victory over a very talented National Hockey League team.

Arkansas 42, Texas A&M 27: Bielema inspires his players by painting his face like William Wallace in Braveheart and Arkansas rolls to a victory and ruins Johnny Manziel Day for the Aggies.

Tennessee 44, Florida 36: Tim Tebow goes 4-for-4 with six runs batted in but it’s just not enough for Florida to pull out a victory.

Last week: 3-2
Overall: 10-5

Randy Devine

Iowa 28, Rutgers 7: Iowa bounces back with a victory, unless Chris Christie has a bridged blocked off and the Hawkeyes can’t make it to the game.

Michigan State 24, Wisconsin 10: Barry Alvarez is forced out of retirement once again as Paul Chryst eats too much cheese at halftime and is unable to continue coaching.

Iowa State 17, San Jose State 10: Dan McCarney, who is being honored at the game, jumps out of the stands and has a hostile takeover of the coaching duties midway through the first half.

Arkansas 34, Texas A&M 28: Bret Bielema is so pleased with the win that he has a tattoo artist cover up his Tigerhawk tattoo with a Razorback during a ceremony at midfield.

Florida 38, Tennessee 34: Tennessee makes a futile attempt to spike the Gatorade on the Florida sideline.

Last week: 0-5
Overall: 5-10
