Top Ten College Football Games – Week Seven Edition

We have already completed half of the college football regular season. The leaves are turning color and come Saturday afternoon so will your television in between Top 25 match-ups. Here are Spurspective’s top ten college football games this weekend.

Oklalahoma State@Texas: The Fightin’ T. Boone Pickens (aka Cowboys) out of Stillwater, OK come guns a blazin’ into Austin, Texas looking for steers, i.e. BEVO! Oklahoma shellacked Texas last week at the annual Red River Shootout and the cowpokes will be looking to light up the scoreboard as well against the Big 12 lynchpin!
Prediction: Cowpokes round up the ‘Horns, 45-31.

Arizona State@Oregon: The Phoenix rising out of Tempe, AZ this season is ASU’s Head Football Coach Dennis Erickson’s career! This game could be a prelude of the inaugural Pac-12 Championship. Oregon is the second highest scoring offense in FBS averaging 50.2 points/per game. Both schools are undefeated in conference play. Oregon has won the last six meetings between the two schools.
Prediction: No deal with the Sun Devils tonight, Quack Attack big 48-30.

Michigan@Michigan State: Sparty has won three in a row in this intrastate Legends Divisional battle. The last time Michigan lost four in a row (1959-62) to instate rival Michigan State, JFK occupied the White House. UM’s dynamic QB Denard Robinson will test the Big 10’s top ranked defense.
Prediction: This ain’t your RichRod’s Maize & Blue and the Wolverines remain undefeated, 34-24.

Baylor@Texas A&M: The fightin’ Ken Starr’s bring their litigation papers (remember the threat to A&M made by Baylor about leaving the SEC?) to Kyle Field and hope to leave the Aggies with a parting gift as A&M transitions to the SEC next year---A LOSS with a lot of RG3, Robert Griffin III, touchdown passes!
Prediction: RG3 > 12th Man, Baylor 41-37.

Ohio State@Illinois: The fightin' Zookers are undefeated (6-0) and facing a struggling Buckeyes squad in this Leaders Divisional match-up. Illinois is trying to keep pace with undefeated Wisconsin while the Buckeyes are trying to win their fourth straight against Illinois.
Prediction: The fightin’ Zookers win this Leaders divisional match-up, 30-21.

South Carolina@Misissippi State: The Connor Shaw era got off on the right foot against lowly Kentucky last Saturday. His first test will be today in Starkvegas against a feisty pack of Bulldogs. Remember Shaw, your best weapon lines up right behind you---run LattiMORE.
Prediction: Carolina nips the Dawgs, 34-30.

Clemson@Maryland: Hip-gate? Is Clemson sandbagging the injury Boyd suffered last week or is the sophomore sensation really hurt? What uniforms will Maryland wear? Two years ago a talented Tigers team trekked up to Byrd Stadium and left with a loss.
Prediction: Turtle Soup anyone? Tigers maul Terrapins, 37-17.

Miami@North Carolina: Can we call this the Be-damned Butch Davis Bowl? Miami is a shadow of itself while the mountain goats are playing well under interim Head Coach Everett Winters. The Hurricanes are 0-4 all-time in Chapel Hill. Maybe after practice ends at the Dean Dome, there might be 40,000 fannies in the stands. A-She-She football at its best!
Prediction: No storm warning here, UNC rolls 34-20.

Florida@Auburn: Is Florida really this bad? How in the heck did USC lose to Auburn? I will never get over the Auburn loss, I know!!! UF has not won on the Plains since last century (1999) when the OBC roamed the sidelines. UF is coming off two beat downs at the hands of BAMA and LSU.
Prediction: Notch another “L” on Muschamp’s belt, Auburn wins 34-17.

Kansas State@Texas Tech: Don’t look now but K-State is quietly enjoying an undefeated season amongst all the expansion talk surrounding the Big 12 conference. KSU has not won in Lubbock since Clinton was POTUS and a guy named Snyder was roaming the sidelines.
Prediction: Well a Democrat is in the White House & guess who roams the sideline, KSU wins 41-38.

My next blog will be Monday afternoon as Spurspective will review the USC/MSU game and peek at the BYE Week. Maybe a little basketball update as well as practice kicked off yesterday.

Go Gamecocks!
