#7 Alabama at #16 Mississippi State - Is Miss St. for real? I don't think so and Bama is going to show them just how far they have to become a legitimate top 20 team.
#5 Ohio State at #14 Iowa - I think this game could be closer than most think. Unless OSU has problems, they should be able to win this one. The Hawkeyes will try to slow the game down to keep them in it until the end.
#8 Florida at #25 Missouri - The Gators seem to be for real, at least at home. Let's see how they handle the road. They struggled with Auburn on the road. I'm going to give them the edge on this one.
Auburn at #17 Tenneessee - Auburn heads into their toughest stretch of their schedule with Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss in the wings. They need this one. Let's see if Tennessee can bounce back. I'll take the Vols.
Washington at #18 USC - The Trojans are usually tough at home, but last week showed they aren't as good as they thought. They'll get back on track against the Huskies before hitting the road.
Pitt at Virginia Tech - 2 perenial middle of the road teams coming in undefeated. Virginia Tech has exceeded their win total from last year. I'll give them the nod at this week's who cares game of the week.
Penn State at Northwestern - When was the last time anyone picked Northwestern over Penn State? The Wildcats went to Bloomington and gave Indiana a scare while the Nitany Lions lost to Whiskey. As a guy who remembers Northwestern's 34 game losing streak, I'm hesitant to pick them. So I'll take Penn State.
Michigan at Minnesota - Michigan is the better team, but can they get up to this one after a heart breaking loss? If not, their coach will be on the hot seat. I'm taking the Wolverines to bounce back, at least for this week.
Baylor at Arizona State - I still like Lagway but he just isn't producing. Not sure if the Bears will stick with him. I'll take the home team.
UTSA at Rice - "Why does Rice play Texas?". Going with the Roadrunners here. Rice is still Rice.
TIE BREAKER – Guess the score of the Arkansas at Texas A&M game.
As Nik Kershaw sang - "Wouldn't it be Good" if the aggies lost yet another home game to another middle of the road team. Unfortunately, it might be a stretch to call the piggies a middle of the road team. I expect the aggies to run up the score if they can.
aggies 34 v piggies 28
