This just in from the bcs :bs: website I frequent
:dunno:
*Florida 24 Arkansas 14
This is the first road test for the Hogs, who have looked pretty good so far, losing only a close one to Texas. The Gators will have to find the end zone a little better than they did last week against Kentucky.
*Georgia 6 LSU 5
Payback is on Georgia's mind after losing twice to the Tigers last year. Both teams are playing great defense, and they have to because for the most part, their offenses have been pretty offensive.
*Tennessee 14 Auburn 13
This could be a preview of the SEC title game. Erik Ainge seems to have taken control of the QB position for the Vols, but Brett Schaeffer will still see the field. Both teams will try to pound the ball, but if the game comes down to a QB making a play, I like UT. :cross:
Other games from around the country
Utah 34 *UNM 30, Fri
This is the first big challenge for Utah and they should be up to it. New Mexico has slowed down another high powered offense in Texas Tech, but Utah does things a little differently than the Red Raiders.
*Virginia Tech 24 West Virginia 23
Are the Mountaineers for real? This is the week we find out. In fact, this is probably the only week we find out anything about West Virginia. We also find out if Tech can fix their special teams problems, which is typically a strength for them.
Purdue 31 *Notre Dame 28
This is the fourth straight time that the Boilers are the favorite at ND. In each of the other games, The Irish were able to upset Purdue by scoring twice with their offense on the bench. Getting good field position has again been a key to the success of the Notre Dame offense so far this season. If Purdue can avoid those kinds of mistakes, and the coaches don't take the ball out of Kyle Orton's hands, it should pick up its first win in South Bend since 1974.
*Missouri 37 Colorado 34
This is a key early-season battle in the jumble that is the Big XII North. Missouri hasn't beaten Colorado since 1998, but that streak should end here in a tight, high-scoring game.
*Oklahoma 48 Texas Tech 17
The Red Raiders have come back from at least three touchdown deficits each of the last two weeks. It'll take a full, four-quarter effort to stay close to the Sooners, though.
*Texas A&M 21 Kansas St 20
The Wildcats figure to be a bigger challenge for the Aggies than either Wyoming or Clemson. KSU has been getting big production from Darren Sproles, but not much else, and has struggled even in victory. This is a key game for the Wildcats if they hope to win the Big XII North.
Arizona St 37 Oregon 24
Oregon used to be invincible at Autzen, but losing to Indiana destroyed that image. ASU will score early and often to defeat the favored Ducks.
California 41 *Oregon St 31
I expect Cal to show some rust from having two weeks off, but Oregon St will have trouble keeping up in a shootout.
