TOP GAMES OF THE WEEK

ACC Championship Game (Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC, Dec 7, 2013, 8pmEST) #1 Florida State Seminoles (12-0) vs. #17 Duke Blue Devils (10-2) = The good news for Duke is that they won the ACC Coastal division in a magical season. The bad news, they will need real magic to keep up with their opponent FSU. FSU won’t be taking this game lightly, but the Blue Devils are feisty.  MY PREDICTION = FSU 56 Duke 28

Big 10 Championship Game (Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 7, 2013, 7:15CST) #2 Ohio State Buckeyes (12-0) vs. #7 Michigan State Spartans (11-1) = Ohio State looked anything but the #2 team in the country last week in a rivalry game with Michigan that came a 2pt away from ending their run. They say offense wins games, but defense wins Championships, and this is a championship game. So I’m calling for an upset that will send the BCS people scrambling. MY PREDICTION = Mich. St. 34 OSU 31

SEC Championship Game (Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia, Dec 7, 2013, 4pm EST) #3 Auburn Tigers (11-1) vs. #5 Missouri Tigers (11-1) = This is the ‘Tiger Bowl’, one nobody saw coming. Auburn is a magical team that seems to win just about every time they shouldn’t. Missouri is also quietly having the same type, just not as magical. In the end its going to come down to can Mizzo’s defense stop the Auburn rushing attack? MY PREDICTION = Missouri 48 Auburn 44 ot

#14 Oklahoma Sooners (9-2) at #4 Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-1) = OU has been so up and down on offense this season, that this game is easy to predict. Especially with the way the Cowboys are playing on defense. MY PREDICTION = OSU 45 OU 31

#21 Texas Longhorns (8-3) at #8 Baylor Bears (10-1) = This is a tough one to call. Baylor has struggled as of late with so many injuries. Texas has changed after their own list of major out for the season injuries, losing another linebacker for probably the year with a laserated liver. In the end though, Texas has just lost too many key leaders for the season to pull this one off. MY PREDICTION = Baylor 55 Texas 34

PAC 12 Championship Game (Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, Ariz, Dec 7, 2013, 5pm MST) #10 Stanford Cardinals (10-2) at Arizona State Sun Devils (10-2) = With the PAC 12 being the only championship game that is at the home of the top seed, this game is very interesting. Stanford is good, but showing chinks in its armor that past teams didn’t have. ASU seems to be getting better, and better. Even thought Stanford owned ASU at home early in the season I am calling for an upset MY PREDICTION = ASU38 Stanford 34

 #13 Central Florida Golden Knights (10-1) at SMU Mustangs (5-6) = This time last year in almost the exact same situation SMU spanked UCF to make it to 6-6 and a bowl game. SMU seems to be UCF’s tragic flaw over the years as well. But SMU’s best player Garrett Gilbert may be out for this game. If he plays I think SMU might upset the knights. MY PREDICTION =  With Gilbert healthy= SMU 48 UCF 45/ No Gilbert = UCF 45 SMU 7

 #18 Louisville Cardinals (10-1) at #20 Cincinnati Bearcats (9-2) = This is a tough one as the Cardinals have played down to competition all season, while Cinncy has played above their station all year. MY PREDICTION = Cinn 39 Louis 37 3ot
