Another week of college football in the books and it featured some excited games. I caught the end of the Baylor-TCU game, Baylor was down 21 and stormed back for an amazing win!

11-Ohio State drilled Maryland
12-Alabama barely beat Arkansas
13-TCU defense fell apart late against Baylor
14-Arizona State had the week off
15-Oklahoma State struggled with Kansas
16-Arizona missed a potential game-winning field goal losing to USC

PREDICTIONS
Last week I went 7-3, which puts me at 43-25 for the year. Here are some big games for this week.
UTAH AT OREGON STATE: With a win, Oregon State could be considered for a top 25 spot and still has a shot to claim the division title. Utah has been a nice surprise this year.
Oregon State 42 Utah 38
KANSAS STATE AT OKLAHOMA: Well, Oklahoma lost to TCU and then struggled against Texas, can they bounce back this week?
Oklahoma 38 Kansas State 31
IOWA AT MARYLAND: Iowa's offense finally looked sharp against a pretty awful Indiana defense. Maryland has the best WR duo in the conference.
Iowa 28 Maryland 24
TEXAS A&M AT ALABAMA: A&M with two straight losses and Alabama with two straight tough games, this should be one of the better games of the week.
Alabama 24 Texas A&M 21
NEW MEXICO AT AIR FORCE: New Mexico has struggled in conference play and really need to come out with a win. Air Force has looked better than I expected.
Air Force 38 New Mexico 30
OKLAHOMA STATE AT TCU: TCU had a 21 point cushion against Baylor but blew it. Ok State didn't look too good against Kansas.
TCU 42 Ok State 31
NOTRE DAME AT FLORIDA STATE: Two of the few undefeated teams left, I'm not sold on either one as national championship contenders just yet.
Florida State 31 Notre Dame 27
IOWA STATE AT TEXAS: ISU had a nice passing game against Toledo while Texas hung with Oklahoma last week.
Texas 28 Iowa State 27
STANFORD AT ARIZONA STATE: This should be a great contest, the Pac 12 has some really good teams this year.
Stanford 31 Arizona State 27
HEISMAN WATCH
Here's my top 10 in no particular order
QB Kenny Hill - Texas A&M
QB Anu Solomon - Arizona
QB Shane Carden - East Carolina
QB Everett Golson - Notre Dame
QB Marcus Mariota - Oregon
QB Dak Prescott - Mississippi State
RB Tevin Coleman - Indiana
RB Melvin Gordon - Wisconsin
RB Ameer Adbullah - Nebraska
RB Todd Gurley - Georgia
No clear cut favorite at this point, but Prescott and Mariota definitely have to be the front runners, with Gordon up there as well.
