Auburn over Ole Miss, high scoring (for the SEC) game, 31-17. Ole Miss has struggled on the road. Auburn needs to turn the ship around, not sure if Chizik can do it or not...
Southern Mississippi over Houston, 27-24. C-USA teams are familiar with Houston. That is how UTEP could beat Houston when OK State, Texas Tech, and Mississippi State could not. Southern Mississippi's defense is pretty good.
Miami beats Wake on the road, 31-20. A good defense can shut Miami down: Wake doesn't have one of those...
Florida over Georgia, 27-14. Not sold on Florida's O. Not sold on Georgia's O either though. I am sold on Florida's D, however.
Northwestern over Penn State, 20-13. Upset of the week right here. I hope. Go Wildcats!
Oklahoma over K-State, 38-10. K-State is on top of the Big 12 North? Wow, is Bill Snyder that good? Or is the Big 12 North that bad?
South Carolina over Tennessee, 16-12. Lot of field goals.
Texas over OK State, 31-20. Texas' O has struggled pretty mightily this season. I just don't think OK State's D is going to be good enough to prevent the Horns from moving the ball. I know OK State can move the ball against UT. But bend don't break defense works for the Longhorns: they stiffen up in the red zone, they force turnovers, and their front four has come a long ways.
Can USC's defense stop Oregon's offense? They better: Boise State's D did! I am not impressed with USC's O either. Barkley is a great freshman QB, but he isn't a great QB. However, he WILL be a great QB sometime in the next two years. I don't think USC's defense is good enough to hold Oregon down for 4 quarters on the road. Oregon is beatable though. This game is a toss-up to me: I'm going with the Ducks, 34-24.
Utah wears Wyoming down, 27-17. THIS Wyoming team is MUCH better offensively than the previous two that got blasted by Utah. THIS Utah team is MUCH worse offensively than the previous two that blasted Wyoming. Even with that said, last year, Utah won the game on turnovers: Wyoming held Utah to 200 yards of offense. I was there, the game was even besides the fumbles. Any Utah fan who was satisfied with that game is lying: their fans were booing the O off the field... If Wyoming takes care of the ball, they can win this game. However, there is no way Utah plays bad enough to lose, even though the Cowboys can probably keep it close.
