... the Big Ten, the experts are filling the role of annoying backseat drivers.

ESPN's Accuscore Game Forecast projects Michigan State as the strong favorite in East Lansing. Strangely, this computer doesn't see in black and gold like its counterparts that compile the BCS Standings.

Based on each team's ability and variable game conditions, Accuscore simulates a game 10,000 times. Michigan State won 60 percent of the time. Iowa emerged victorious in 39 percent of simulations.

Where's the missing percent?

Chalk it up to the computer attempting to use the eye test on Iowa. 

Silly, computer.
