TOP MATCHUPS THIS WEEK

 

 

#1 Alabama Crimson Tide (1-0) at #17 Texas A&M Aggies (2-0) = This is the game of the year so far at least in the build up this game will have. The Aggies are coming off a year in which they won the Heisman, and game the eventual National Champs their only blemish. Winning a National Title does a lot to make one feel better about a season, but Alabama is the type of team to hold a grudge. So this should be an ugly game with a lot of hitting that will be on the verge of getting that new ejection penalty. MY PREDICTION- Alabama 34 Texas A&M 31

 

#26 Tennessee Vols(2-0) at #4 Oregon Ducks (2-0) = Time to find out if the Vols are back, or will this be a 3 year remodel. This is a tough game to get when your a new coach. Oregon's offense is outstanding and their QB looks like he was born just to control this offense. If the Vols can get a few bounces to go their way like they did against WKy(5 turnovers in 6 plays) this could stay close.

MY PREDICTION- Oregon 55 Tennessee 27

 

#10 UCLA Bruins (1-0) at #15 Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-0) = If this game is anything like the one last year (36-30UCLA) then this should be a great game. UCLA remains a darkhorse for the Pac title, and Nebraska is trying to become a power in the Big 10. Both remember the hard fought game from last year, so this should be a good one. MY PREDICTION- UCLA 38 Neb 35

 

#20 Ole Miss Rebels (2-0) at Texas Longhorns(1-1) = A week ago this had the makings of a big game. Now after Texas had their chest ripped opened to reveal they have no heart, nor toughness, this should be a laugher. Keep in mind that a loss like this had in the past caused the Longhorns to step up their game so look for the possible upset here especially at home. With Texas probably winning this game and patting themselves on the back for how great they are again only to get smoked by KSU and OU later. Fans are no longer amused, so watch for any bad plays by the Horns to start another game of quicksand. MY PREDICTION- Ole Miss 65 Texas 39

 

#29 Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) at #16 Arizona State Sun Devils (1-0) = Is Wisconsin back, can they just put in another coach and move on the way some teams do with depth on the field. This week will show, as ASU is becoming a tough place to play. This will be the first real test for both teams. MY PREDICTION- ASU 34 Wis 28
