TOP GAMES OF THE WEEK

 

#4 Oregon Ducks (5-0) at #24 Washington Huskies (4-1) = Washington just missed their big opportunity to step up in the Pac-12 when they narrowly missed upseting #5 Stanford last week. But now they face possibly their most talented foe. One who's yet to be proved and may be missing their best piece depending upon how bad the injury is. This should be a lot closer than most shall expect. MY PREDICTION= Oregon 42 Wash 32

 

#5 Stanford Cardinals (5-0) at Utah Utes (3-2) = What should come to no surprise Utah is not exactly a national power, but they are a tough out. Add to this the fact that Stanford is coming off an emotional revenge win over Wash, and its on the road. This should be a tough one to the end. MY PREDICTION= Utah 34 Stanford 33

 

#22 Missouri Tigers (5-0) at #9 Georgia Bulldogs (4-1) = Im not sold that Missouri is for real, this could go a long way into stating their case. Especially with how beat up the Bulldogs are. I expect Georgia to be very deep at all positions, and for their 3rd string RB now starter to have a big game though. MY PREDICTION= Missouri 34 Georgia 31

 

Texas Longhorns (3-2) vs. #11 Oklahoma Sooners (5-0) = Major Injures have taken their punches on Texas with the losses of their starting QB, OLB, CB for possibly the season. Add to the fact that the natives are growing restless, this is a bad time to be a Longhorn. Or is it? OU Looks to finally be hitting on all cylinders with their offense catching up with their defense that was till TCU almost took them to the woodshed. Look for Mac Brown to possibly announce his retirement at the end of the year if this game isn't at least competitive. The Sooners should be huge favorites which should help Texas out a little. In the end though, the Longhorns just don't have a talented enough play caller, so look for them to eventually, if not straight a way fall behind. MY PREDICTION= Texas 38 OU 28

 

#16 Florida Gators (4-1) at #13 LSU Tigers (4-1) = This game will knock one team out of title consideration. As it tis the season of the SEC to beat themselves up and decide who will play for the national title, if not both team. Florida is looking a lot stronger as of late with a younger better quarterback at the helm. But LSU's Mettenberger may just be too strong. MY PREDICTION= LSU 34 Florida 24
