****************Big Games For This Week****************

#14 Mississippi State (7-0) at #1 Alabama (7-0)- This could be considered at trap game if the Crimson Tide ever fell for those, especially at home. The real question is will Alabama ever falter, not likely against a one dimensional team like the Bulldogs. My Prediction- Alabama 38 MSU 3

#13 Texas Tech (6-1) at #3 Kansas State (7-0)- The really good Tech teams have always had trouble in big games when they are undefeated, much better luck when they are underdogs. Klein and the Wildcats have been playing well, and only getting better. My Prediction- KSU 45 TT 24

#4 Florida (7-0) at #18 Georgia (6-1)- This should be a real good when with the way Florida has been playing great defense lately. Georgia has had a whole week to get ready for this one after getting totally destroyed by South Carolina. So this should be a lot better than some might expect. My Prediction- Georgia 34 Florida 31

#5 Notre Dame (7-0) at #6 Oklahoma (6-1)- Nobody is playing better defense than Notre Dame especially at home, too bad this is a road game. Oklahoma after a hic up decided that they would try and be the best defensive team too. But unlike the Fighting Irish they have learned to play offense. This could be the game of the week. My Prediction-OU 27 ND 17

#27 Duke (6-2) at #11 Florida State (7-1)- I would love to say this is gonna be a good game. But we all know what happens to Cinderella when they have to travel to Talahasse, Florida. It may even start off as a good one for a while, do to the fact that the Seminoles sometimes like to play with their food. But in the end it shouldn't be close. My Prediction- FSU 45 Duke 24

#30 Cincinnati (5-1) at #15 Louisville (7-0)- The Bearcats might have been looking ahead last week, in their upset lose. Louisville has been playing just good enough to stay undefeated lately, so who knows what might happen in this one. My Prediction-Cinn 38 Louisville 35

#24 TCU (5-2) at Oklahoma State (5-2)- State has been playing well on offense this season, along with all the Big 12 in the Great offensive explosion. TCU has fallen ill with the bug as well this season. This one might be as good as the the TCU/TT was last week. My Prediction- OkSt 56 TCU55
