College Football November 18

The Iowa Hawkeyes had another week off, and I didn't get a chance to watch much football this weekend. There were a couple surprises, some great games. Here's my new Top 25

1-Alabama
2-Florida State
3-Baylor
4-Ohio State
5-Clemson
6-Missouri
7-Oregon
8-Auburn
9-South Carolina
10-Fresno State
11-Wisconsin
12-Oklahoma State
13-Louisville
14-Northern Illinois
15-Texas A&M
16-Michigan State
17-Stanford
18-Arizona State
19-UCF
20-UCLA
21-LSU
22-Oklahoma
23-USC
24-Duke
25-Ole Miss

I missed a few in my predictions last week, but I am 93-36 on the season. Here are the games for this week.

Texas A&M at LSU: This is going to be a great game! I think this one will go down to the wire. LSU 34 Texas A&M 28

Baylor at Oklahoma State: I might be crazy, but I've got Ok State pulling the upset in a high scoring game. Ok State 45 Baylor 42

Michigan at Iowa: Iowa had a week off to get healthy, while Michigan pulled off an amazing field goal and overtime win to beat Northwestern. Iowa 28 Michigan 24

Arizona State at UCLA: Division will be on the line in this one, UCLA needs a win to stay in it. UCLA 31 ASU 27

Michigan State at Northwestern: Northwestern hasn't won a single conference game, but they're not a bad team, they just can't win close games. They lost in overtime to Iowa and Michigan, and lost on a hail mary to Nebraska. Unfortunately, Michigan State, is damn good. Michigan State 21 Northwestern 14

Wisconsin at Minnesota: Minnesota is sitting at 8-2 right now, which is a shock to me. I still don't think they're that great. Wisconsin 38 Minnesota 21

Washington at Oregon State: The Pac 12 is a lot of fun to watch if you like a lot of points. This game should be like that. Oregon State 45 Washington 38

Missouri at Ole Miss: Hard to believe Mizzou is in position to win the division, they'll need to close out strong though. Ole Miss 27 Missouri 21

BYU at Notre Dame: BYU is going to pull this one off! BYU 35 Notre Dame 24

New Mexico at Fresno State: The Lobos lost their QB and RB for the remainder of the season, this one will get ugly, New Mexico's defense is horrendous. Fresno 63 New Mexico 24

Heisman Race
It's looking it's going to be a QB's year, here's a look at the top players

Bryce Petty QB Baylor 2,992-24-1
Jameis Winston QB Florida State 2,938-28-7
Teddy Bridgewater QB Louisville 3,048-24-3
Johnny Manziel QB Texas A&M 3,313-31-11 611-8
A.J. McCarron QB Alabama 2,228-21-5
Tajh Boyd QB Clemson 2,960-24-7
Marcus Mariota QB Oregon 2,819-25-0
Derek Carr QB Fresno 3,421-32-4
Jordan Lynch QB Northern Illinois 2,216-21-5 1,273-14

Looking at the SEC, I'm not sure they will get two BCS teams. Auburn might, they have one loss, but will lose to Alabama. Missouri has to play Ole Miss and A&M. South Carolina has to play Clemson, a win would be huge, but they might take on Alabama in the SEC title game. Not sure how it will play out. I have Michigan State beating Ohio State in the Big 10. Alabama vs Florida State in the BCS title game.
