Top Games of the Week
Cincinnat @ Louisville: crucial game in the conference, would have been a matchup of unbeaten teams had Cincy won last week. Louisville 42 Cincinnati 31
Iowa @ Northwestern: this isn't a big game to anyone else except for me. The Hawkeyes are technically still in the running for the division title, but got smashed by Penn State last week. Northwestern had a heart-breaking loss to Nebraska, which team will bounce back? Northwestern 34 Iowa 24
Florida vs Georgia: another big conference game, Florida has been on a roll, Georgia had a rough loss to South Carolina just weeks ago. I like Georgia to pull the upset. Georgia 28 Florida 21
Texas Tech @ Kansas State: I'm still a little shocked that Tech is in the top 15, I didn't think they would be that great this year. K State is one of the best teams in the country. Kansas State 49 Texas Tech 38
Duke @ Florida State: This could be the ACC title game this year, believe it or not. Duke has looked good, probably because they have Hud Mullencamp on the team. Florida State 31 Duke 27
Michigan State @ Wisconsin: Well, Michigan State needs to win a game pretty bad, they've lost to Iowa and Michigan the last two weeks and have eliminated themselves from contention. Wisconsin is playing pretty well and they have a clear path to the conference title game. Wisconsin 27 Michigan State 14
Notre Dame @ Oklahoma: What a great game here in the middle of the season for both teams, winner is going to look pretty good for a BCS bowl game. The Irish have had a couple close calls this year, but they look good. Oklahoma has been tough since their loss to K State. Oklahoma 27 Notre Dame 21
Michigan @ Nebraska: Big division game here, both teams came up with late-minute wins a week ago. If Rex Burkhead was 100% I would pick Nebraska with ease, but this is a tough one, I think they can still win since they're at home. Nebraska 17 Michigan 14
Mississippi State @ Alabama: A battle of undefeated teams, Mississippi State is getting no love this year. Alabama is everyone's clear cut number one, and I'm guessing only Mississippi State and their fans think they have a shot in this one. Alabama 38 Mississippi State 21
Oregon State @ Washington: Washington is a good team, but they're having a hard time winning games. Oregon State comes in undefeated, but Washington has already upset one team this year. Washington 28 Oregon State 24 *upset of the week
I was 7-4 a week ago
Conferences
ACC: Florida State looks like the front runner, especially with a victory already against Clemson. The other division isn’t as easy to figure out, Duke, Miami and Virginia Tech will be the teams in the running, I think Va Tech will win it, but don’t count Duke out. Va Tech beat them in the head-to-head, which may help them clinch.
Big East: There’s a 3-way race for the top spot between, Louisville, Rutgers, and Cincinnati, and they all still have to play each other. It could be anyone’s ball game, but I like Louisville to win the conference, but I don’t think they’ll go undefeated.
SEC: I think Georgia might be able to sneak up on Florida and take the division, and I could see LSU knocking off Alabama at home, too, to set up LSU vs Georgia in the championship. I think LSU would win and get into a national title game, while Alabama also gets a BCS after going onedefeated. (Is that coined yet?)
Big 10: Conference has been somewhat of a mess, but there’s some damn good football games being played. The finishes of the Neb-NW, MIch-MSU, and OSU-Purd games this week were insane! Wisconsin is the obvious choice for the championship game, but who will they play? Should come down to Michigan or Nebraska, I’m going to take Michigan, with Michigan taking down Wisconsin and going to the Rose Bowl. Penn State is one of the hottest teams in the country right now, but of course, they’re not bowl eligible.
Big 12: West Virginia is right in the middle of the pack now, after cracking the top 10 for much of the season. Kansas State has a pretty favorable schedule and could go unbeaten with Oklahoma right behind them. I’ve got Kansas State winning all their games and taking on LSU in the title game right now, with Oklahoma earning a BCS birth.
Pac 12: The Oregon teams are both unbeaten, one of them will most likely take on USC for the conference title. I think USC will win it and Oregon will make a BCS, too.
Non BCS: The only non-bcs team that might get a shot at a BCS game is Notre Dame, they’re undefeated right now, but I think they lose to Oklahoma and USC, and I don’t know if 10-2 would be good enough to get them in. If they were in the Big East, they’d be in for sure. Boise State could sneak up in there, but I don’t think they’re schedule strength is that great, and they haven’t beaten anyone that great. Ohio is undefeated, but I could see them losing at Kent State and to Toledo or Northern Illinois in the conference title game, could be interesting though.
