BIG GAMES THIS WEEK
#1 Alabama Crimson
Tide (11-0) at #6 Auburn Tigers (9-2) – Once again these two teams meet with
the SEC West on the line, with what comes with it. The right to play in the SEC
Title game and then the right to be in the playoff. Alabama has been methodical
all season. While Auburn seems to be peaking at the right time. Miss this game
at your own peril. Auburn 25 Alabama 24
#4 Clemson Tigers (10-1) at #28 South Carolina Gamecocks (8-3) – This rivalry is finally getting back to being a good one again. Clemson has played one of the toughest schedules in the nation, while South Carolina has been playing above itself. Most thought they were a year or two away from being decent to good again. Clemson 31 South Carolina 20
#26 West Virginia
Mountaineers (7-4) at #5 Oklahoma Sooners (10-1) – This could be a really good
game if, and only if the Mountaineers starting QB Will Grier can someone make
it back to play. If not, look for West Virginia to play hard, but eventually
they will get run out of Norman, Oklahoma. Baker Mayfield is playing like the
best player in the NCAA. Though word is he won’t start this game as punishment
for losing his cool against some cheap shots by Kansas. Oklahoma 51 WV 25
#10 Central
Florida Golden Knights (10-0) at #23 South Florida Bulls (9-1) - This one is
the biggest game in the AAC this season. UCF could struggle with their Head
Coach Scott Frost rumored to be leaving to head back to his alma-matter
Nebraska. UCF is playing for a wild card shot at a non BCS team making the
playoffs. UCF 44 USF 38
#9 Ohio State
Buckeyes (9-2) at #25 Michigan Wolverines (8-3) – Michigan as started playing
better since trading starting QB’s. But I don’t know if they have enough to
keep up with the Buckeyes, and their dreams of making the playoffs. Ohio State
38 Michigan 24
#13 Notre Dame
Fighting Irish (9-2) at #19 Stanford Cardinals (8-3) – The next in team on the
list of a rough schedule for the Irish is their rival Stanford and their
Heisman candidate Love. Notre Dame’s offense has been struggling lately. Stanford 31 ND 28
#17 Washington
State Cougars (8-2) at #14 Washington Huskies (9-2) – The Apple Cup is up for
grabs. The Huskies have been surviving lately on great special teams play, and
making big plays when it matters. The Cougars have a much better team than their
record, but have played out, and out badly against some bad teams. Wash 38 Wash St 35
Texas A&M
Aggies (7-4) at #16 LSU Tigers (8-3) – The Aggies are playing hard now to help
keep their Coach in his job. LSU has been playing hard ever since they got their
star Tailback back. A home game matters a lot though. LSU 45 TA&M 28
Ole Miss Rebels
(5-6) at #20 Mississippi State Bulldogs (8-3) – This is a rivalry, and the
hardest team to play is one who is only one game away from being bowl eligible.
The Bulldogs are the better team, and it’s really a surprise that Ole Miss has
even won 5 games sometimes. MSU 36 Miss 34
#21 Virginia Tech
Hokies (8-3) at Virginia Cavaliers (6-5) – On paper Tech should beat Virginia
easily. But paper means nothing in a rivalry game. The Cav’s are coming off a
strong showing at #2 Miami and led them most of the game. VT 21 Virginia 7
#27 Iowa State
Cyclones (7-4) at Kansas State Wildcats (6-5) - On the outside this looks like
a meaningless game. But these two have played each other for a long time, and
don’t really like one another. This should be a really good one. Iowa State 27
KSU 23
#29 Boise State
Broncos (9-2) at Fresno State Bulldogs (8-3) – With the way Rypien is playing
lately it seems like the Broncos can overcome any obstacle. FSU has been a
surprise team. Both teams have not only upset San Diego State (9-2), but both
did so by stomping them. Boise St 41 FSU 38
Florida State
Seminoles (4-6) at Florida Gators (4-6) – Who could have seen this coming
preseason? FSU was preseason #2, and the Gators where coming off two straight
SEC East titles. Now both are 4-6, and the winner has a shot if they can win
the following week of becoming bowl eligible. Florida seems to be in the most
turmoil with their coach getting fire midseason. FSU 28 Florida 14
Texas Tech Red
Raiders (5-6) at Texas Longhorns (6-5) – The Longhorns finally put together a
good game for the first time in a long time. They finally where able to run the
ball now that they have their All-American left tackle back after losing him
week 1. Tech on the other hand looked outstanding at the beginning of the
season, but just can’t finish a game once conference started. Look for this
black Friday game to be a good one. Texas 27 TT 24
Navy Midshipmen
(6-4) at Houston Cougars (6-4) – Navy is coming off a tough loss where they had
Notre Dame on the ropes but lost a squeaker 17-24. Houston has been up and down
all season with injuries. Navy 45 Houston 44
