Duke at #5 Miami - some home cooking is all Miami needs to get back on track. Duke will be on the wrong end of a beat down.
Northwestern at #21 Ohio State - at the beginning of the season, this was a no brainer. Now, without Sayin, Ohio State is a mediocre team. I think this will be a toss up. I'm going with the home team.
#11 Wake Forest at #25 SMU - Wake still has a shot at the playoffs, but they have to beat the Ponies. They can score and score a lot, but they will need a healthy QB1. I'll give them an edge.
#9 Tennessee at aggy - and it's good bye to a&m! Can Elko survive this season? The answer has got to be yes, the economics just won't work if they fire him too. Maybe another pay raise?
Missouri at #1 Georgia - Georgia is going to show everyone what a #1 team does to an opponent. You almost feel sorry for Mizzou.
#15 USC at #6 Indiana - Indiana has been struggling lately and Cignetti is trying to decide who will be QB1. That's not a good sign for a playoff contender. USC on the other hand thinks they are still in the playoff picture. A win here gives them a step up. The problem is they aren't at home. The Trojans play much better at home than on the road. This could be a close on and I'm going to give the win to the Trojans due to the Hoosiers offensive troubles.
#19 Ole Miss at OU - 0u will need to score more that 17 points to win this one. They might do it in garbage time but the Rebels walk away with this one.
Florida at #13 Kentucky - The Gators play like Jekyll and Hyde. Which one will show up this time. Except for LSU, Kentucky has lost to top ranked teams (aggies don't count). I'm guess Hyde shows up for the Gators and they will take their 5th loss.
#2 Utah at #22 Arizona - Another close game. Turnovers will be the difference in this one. Arizona is more of a passing team that throws in a run or two. Utah hass more of a balanced offense that has an effective running game. If the Utes can keep the ball away from the Wildcats and run the ball, they win.
#10 Texas Tech at Oklahoma State - Is the over/under 100 for this game? Because there is no 'D' in Tech or Oklahoma. This one comes down to turnovers and the team with the ball last. The sure bet is to take the over. As for the winner, I'll go with the home team.
TIE BREAKER – Guess the final score of the #8 Texas at #24 LSU
A night game at Death Valley. At the beginnng of the season, I penciled a loss for Texas. Now, they can't afford it. Short, quick passes and run the ball may keep Texas in this game. Put pressure on Leavitt and he is prone to making mistakes. I'm really nervous about this one.
Texas 23 - LSU 21
