TOP GAMES OF THE WEEK

#6 Miami Hurricanes (7-0) at #2 Florida State Seminoles (7-0) = Its been a long time since this game mattered. During the 80’s-90’s this was the game of the season every year. You have to wonder if the U had their mind on this game or the NCAA last week when Wake almost knocked them off. MY PREDICTION= FSU 45 Miami 21

#10 Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-1) at #15 Texas Tech Red Raiders (7-1) = TT almost squeaked out a win in Norman last week, now they will try to finish one against their brother school OSU. The Cowboys have played well at times this season, and bad at others. The musical chairs at QB, is a worry. This could be an upset as the Big 12 is very balanced this year. MY PREDICTION= OSU 45 TT 31

#18 Michigan Wolverines (6-1) at Michigan State Spartans (7-1) = Michigan is a weird team at times, they kind’ve remind me of Oregon at putting up the points and yards, others they just stink. Sparty had its first offensive explosion last week, while managing to keep up the heat on defense. MY PREDICTION= MSU 28 Mich 24

Navy Midshipmen (4-3) at #25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (6-2) = This lately has been a decent game. The Midshipmen don’t see ND as the unbeatable juggernaut they have been in the past. But Navy is young in a lot of areas, and not up with some of their better teams. MY PREDICTION = ND 38 Navy 30
