I am really excited about this weeks college football games. Conference play is now in full force and there are a couple of powerhouse schools battling one another. So far the college football season has been great with a few interesting upset games as well as numerous potential BCS busters. From the blackout game in Georgia to the Florida disaster in the swamp, no one knows what will happen next. Anyways, here are my predictions for this weeks action.
Clemson at (21)Wake Forest- 10/9 7:30- At the beginning of the season this looked to be a major game for both ACC schools. Now six weeks into the season both teams have struggled and a loss here would further hurt their bowl chances. Wake Forest is coming off a devastating lost at the hands of Navy, where Clemson lost to Maryland two weeks ago. This would be a major conference win for either team. Clemson should bounce back after their bye week and upset Wake Forest at home. Clemson 27-21
(5)Texas at (1)Oklahoma- 10/11 12:00- This is bound to be the most exciting game of the day. You have two schools playing top notch football who are both in the Big-12. I expect to see lots of scoring and strong quarterback play from both Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford. In the end I see Oklahoma escaping with the W as Sooners fans storm the field in a sea of red.
Oklahoma 40-31
Colorado at (16)Kansas- 10/11 12:30- Another strong Big-12 afternoon game where the Buffaloes will take on the Jayhawks. Both teams have played up and down during the first half of the season and Kansas is coming off a major come from behind win against Iowa St. Sure, Colorado beat WVU, but they have been blowout by Florida St. and Texas. Therefore Kansas will come away with the win at home and begin to look ahead to their battle against Oklahoma.
Kansas 31-17
(14)Utah at Wyoming- 10/11 2:00- Utah has been great this year and continue to be a BCS buster during the beginning of the season. If you stayed up last Thursday night, you would have seen a great comeback win against Oregon St. Utah should have no problem on the road against Wyoming and will move to 7-0 on the season. Utah 41-20
(13)Vanderbilt at Miss St- 10/11 2:30- Vanderbilt had a monumental win last weekend against Auburn. Vandy fans were going crazy at home and their team has now started the season undefeated. I don't see them having much trouble with Miss St. this weekend and they should move to 6-0. Vanderbilt 21-10
Nebraska at (7)Texas Tech- 10/11 3:00- The Cornhuskers are coming off a crushing defeat against Missouri and will go up against the same type of team this week. It should be a similar game for Nebraska where they will struggle against the Texas Tech dynamic offense of Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree. Texas Tech will continue to roll on in the Big-12
Texas Tech 44-21
Purdue at (12)Ohio St- 10/11 3:30- After losing to USC by a substantial measure, Ohio St has fought back and are coming off a major win against Wisconsin. They should not have much trouble against Purdue this week at home. Pryor should continue his development and Beanie Wells looks to be getting healthy. Ohio St. 34-20
Notre Dame at (22)UNC- 10/11 3:30- This is one of the games I am most looking forward to watching this week. For starters I was devastated with the way my Huskies got manhandled last week in Chapel Hill. Both teams are coming off wins and are playing well. Notre Dame Should rise to the occasion and pull off the win on the road. Notre Dame- 27-21
(23)MSU at North Western- 10/11 3:30- Javon Ringer will rebound after a somewhat rough game last week and run wild against the Wildcats. They have been playing great football, but their perfect season will come to an end this week. MSU 31-27
Arizona St at (8)USC- 10/11 3:30- I would love to pick ASU in this game because I feel they have a shot at beating USC on the road. However, USC rebounded extremely well last week against the Ducks and they should continue their dominating play this week. USC 38-24
Tennessee at (10)Georgia- 10/11 3:30- Every year I look forward to this SEC rivalry between the Dawgs and the Volunteers. This year will not be as exciting, Tennessee has struggled on all levels and are not playing their typical football. Georgia will rebound from their lost to Alabama and run the table during the game. Georgia 40-21
New Mexico at (9)BYU- 10/11 6:00- BYU is undefeated and if they don't lose, have a legitimate shot at a BCS bowl or even (don't laugh) a National Championship. They will have no problem with the Lobos at home. BYU 44-17
(6)Penn St at Wisconsin- 10/11 8:00- Penn St has played great football and the Badgers have struggled during the past few weeks. Penn St. is a really good football team, but I'm not convinced their a great football team. Wisconsin will be ready for this game and the crowd will be going wild at home. Wisconsin should win, but it will be very close. Wisconsin 27-24
(17)Oklahoma St at (3) Missouri- 10/11 8:00- Missouri still remains my team to make the National Championship. With Chase Daniel and Jermy Maclin playing NFL caliber ball they will return home from Nebraska ready to roll against the Cowboys. Oklahoma St will give them a run and it will be an exciting game, but the Tigers are too much to handle. Missouri 38-27
(4)LSU at (7)Florida- 10/11 8:00- This is going to be a great game in Gatorville and everyone in college football should be excited about. LSU has played well and have faced some good teams, while Florida lost at home just two weeks ago. I feel that they slipped up slightly in that game and have rebounded as a team. The Gators are ready to play and Tim Tebow should carry his team, in the Swamp to victory. Florida 28-24
