PREDICTIONS
Last week I was 8-3 which puts me at 31-17 now for the season! This week has some great games and should shake up the top 25 a bit.

This week:

Iowa State at Oklahoma State: The first college football game I ever went to was Oklahoma State at Iowa State in 1991, it ended in a 6-6 tie. Worst game I've ever seen! This one should be a fun one, Ok State is solid, Iowa State has a brutal schedule but they're not as bad as I expected. I'll be in Oklahoma City performing this week, I thought about maybe going to Stillwater to see this one.
Oklahoma State 42 Iowa State 28

Nebraska at Michigan State: Nebraska is on a roll the last two weeks with Heisman candidate Ameer Adbullah! Michigan State has been rolling since their loss to Oregon. Should be a great one.
Michigan State 27 Nebraska 21

Arizona at Oregon: Arizona had a week off after their hail mary against Cal, Oregon had a week off after barely beating Washington State.
Oregon 45 Arizona 34

Texas A&M at Mississippi State: This is going to be a good one, both teams undefeated, two of the best QBs in the nation.
Texas A&M 38 Mississippi State 28

Alabama at Ole Miss: Can Ole Miss pull off the upset? Wallace is going to have a great game and not have a slow start like he did against Boise.
Ole Miss 28 Alabama 24

Oklahoma at TCU: I like TCU, but I don't know if I like them against Oklahoma.
Oklahoma 42 TCU 27

Stanford at Notre Dame: Notre Dame just keeps rolling, which has been a surprise. Stanford already has a loss and a close call, could give them some edge.
Stanford 24 Notre Dame 21

New Mexico at UTSA: The Lobos lost a tough homecoming game against Fresno, but their freshmen QB, Lamar Jordan has some skills. UTSA hung with Arizona earlier this year and they won at New Mexico last year.
New Mexico 34 UTSA 31

LSU at Auburn: LSU turned the ball over four times against New Mexico State, but won 63-7, they won't be able to do that against Auburn.
Auburn 35 LSU 21

Arizona State at USC: ASU was beaten badly by UCLA and USC looked sharp against Oregon State.
USC 45 Arizona State 31
