Top Games of the Week
Florida at Florida State: Huge non-conference game featuring two top ten teams in the country, both with only one loss. Should be a great game, Florida is playing for a BCS birth, Florida State can lose and still get a BCS birth by knocking off Georgia Tech. Both teams will be ready to play. Florida State 31 Florida 27

South Carolina at Clemson: South Carolina has lost some of its hype since Lattimore went down with injury. Clemson is hoping to prove everyone that they're underrated. Both teams are hoping for a BCS shot, South Carolina is a long shot, if Clemson wins, they should get in. Clemson 38 South Carolina 28

Notre Dame at USC: Can't believe Notre Dame has done it, there's been so many close games this year for them. I thought USC could pull the upset, but not without Matt Barkley, USC's disappointing season ends with a loss. Notre Dame 24 USC 14

Nebraska at Iowa: Two reasons why this game is on here, because Iowa is my team, and because Nebraska needs a win to clinch the division. If Nebraska loses and Michigan wins, then Michigan will take the division. It's senior day at Kinnick Stadium, so hopefully they'll play some inspired football. It's hard to believe that it's the final game of the year for the Hawkeyes. I just don't think there's enough talent on the roster to pull the upset. Nebraska 38 Iowa 17

Michigan at Ohio State: Iowa was able to knock Touisant out of Michigan's lineup, but Denard Robinson did pretty well at RB and WR. Can Ohio State finish the year undefeated? This should be an exciting one. Ohio State 31 Michigan 27

Wisconsin at Penn State: Wisconsin has already clinched the division, but close out with the Nittany Lions, who shocked everyone this year by having a solid year. Montee Ball was off to a slow start this year, as was the entire team, but they've been decent in conference play. Can they win on the road though at Penn State? Going to be a tough test before the conference title game. Wisconsin 28 Penn State 24

Mississippi State at Ole Miss: Ole Miss needs a win to get a bowl game, they've looked pretty sharp this year, but had a brutal schedule. Mississippi State was off to a hot start until they had to take on the Alabama, LSU and A&M. Mississippi State wins 38-27

Oregon at Oregon State: Well, the mighty Ducks fell at home to Stanford last week. Stanford was somehow able to slow the best offense in the country down. Can the Beavers do the same? This is a huge game for both teams. Oregon 45 Oregon State 28

Stanford at UCLA: Another huge Pac-12 game, and possibly a preview of the conference title game. UCLA has been on a roll, and Stanford just knocked off Oregon. This could be fun game to watch. UCLA 24 Stanford 20

Oklahoma State at Oklahoma: Another in-state rivalry game here, Oklahoma still has a shot at a BCS game if Kansas State loses to Texas next week, the Sooners could sneak up and win the conference. Ok State has been pretty good though. I give this one to the Sooners at home. Oklahoma 42 Oklahoma State 31

Heisman
Right now it belongs to Fr QB Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M, he's thrown for over 3,000 yards, he's only thrown 21 td's, but he's ran for 17 more, including over 1,100 yards on the ground! Over 4,000 yards and 38 touchdowns as a freshmen against the SEC, not too bad. In my opinion, no one is even close to him right now. Manti Te'o at Notre Dame has had an amazing year, Collin Klein hasn't been bad, Marqise Lee has huge numbers, Braxton Miller, Aaron Murray, AJ McCarron, Tajh Boyd, Geno Smith, all have solid numbers, but Manziel is the man right now, most of those other guys have a great supporting cast, A&M doesn't really have anyone that stands out besides Manziel.
