7:30PM - ESPN (Thursday)
#4 Ole Miss Rebels @ South Carolina Gamecocks.
Teams that have started their schedule with two cupcake games have had lots of trouble in that 3rd game. South Carolina nearly beat Georgia on the road, and this game is in Columbia, SC. Ole Miss will be rusty and ill-prepared to handle a decent team on the road. They'll make costly mistakes, and SC will capitalize.
Prediction:
South Carolina 27, Ole Miss 24
3:30 PM - ABC
#9 Miami Hurricanes @ #11 Virginia Tech Hokies
The Hokies have to be pissed that the U leapfrogged over them in the rankings, even though they beat a good Nebraska side. Miami, however, is fast, big, and back to relevance. This is gonna be a fun game to watch, but I think Tech's defense and special teams will make some game-changing plays to steal victory from the jaws of defeat.
Prediction:
Virginia Tech 27, Miami 21
3:30 PM - ABC
#6 California Golden Bears @ Oregon Ducks
Hopefully the Miami/Va-Tech game is on ABC here in Boston, instead of this one. I'm not too impressed with Cal. RB Jahvid Best might win the Heisman. He had 5 TDs last week in Minnesota, and he's already rushed for 412 yards. But if Cal got behind by 10+ points in a game, and was forced to pass, they'd be in trouble. And I think that's what will happen in Eugene.
Prediction:
Ducks 31, Golden Bears 21
Since I'm picking two Top 10 teams to be upset, I'm gonna balance that with a near guarantee.
3:30 PM
Arkansas Razorbacks @ #3 Alabama Crimson Tide
Bama is good, Bama's at home, Arkansas isn't good, Arkansas is on the road.
Prediction:
Alabama 48, Arkansas 13
And now a game that next to nobody cares about:
7:00 PM
Army Black Knights @ Iowa State Cyclones
Army is 2-1, has a wicked soft schedule, and I'm rooting for them to make bowl eligibility. I think they'll reach 3-1 Saturday night because Iowa State is one of the worst teams in I-A.
Prediction:
Army 13, Iowa 3
