I think the biggest ass-whopping would be handed to #20 Texas aTm by Virginia Tech. They will be shown for the fake that they are (just like Notre Dame).

Also, Tennessee might lose to florida.

I'm also picking Iowa to beat Arizona state.


you thoughts?

This is the best week yet for college football this season:
My answers to the question:

LSU will fall to Georgia

Texas A&M will be crushed by Virginia Tech - I saw the end of the Utah game, I'm not sure what's to like about A&M.

Tennessee will lose to Florida. I watched the Marshall game, and Tennessee could have fallen there.

Arizona State will lose to Iowa. May be a combined eighty points posted here.

Upset Special (?): Toledo over Pittsburgh.

Maybe this week is a good one for another TFP College Sports contest.

I think Ohio State gets by Bowling Green, Michigan gets by Oregon, Kansas State is lucky they are only facing half of Marshall's broken offense.

bish

I can see Kansas St. and Georgia getting upset.

Florida St. might have to eek out a close game!!

absorbentishe

I'd love to see my UT Rockets beat Pitt, but won't happen. Nebraska at Southern Miss, I'd go with Southern Miss. Would love to see LSU beat Georgia, won't happen. I think Marshall should beat KSU.

maximusveritas

Yep, Tennessee is going down. I think Georgia will beat LSU.

Begora21

The Detroit Tigers

bundy

whats with all of this Tennessee hatred?
they aren´t going to lose this weekend. no way. not to Florida. and LSU isn´t going to beat Georgia either.

but i am thinking that Oregon can beat Michigan.

The only major team I can see getting truely upset is Ohio State. That is if Krenzel doesn't play.

Tennessee losing to Florida is hardly an upset.

greydenn

thanks for the list gov135

I dont see many suprises in the top 25 this weekend. I see LSU beating Georgia, but with LSU at home is that really an upset?

Although Boston College traditionally plays Miami close...There could be an upset.

Reddevil63

Ask oklahoma how fake they are. They blew a big lead to Utah but blah blah blah UT lost to Arkansas and everyone thinks they will still contend for the title. I think they have a shot, not a good one but a shot none the less. Thats what I love about college football.

The_Dude

ok, so far florida and kansas state have lost.

Forgetting Michigan and Georgia?

Looks like it's over for Arizona State as well.

gov135

And Michigan and Georgia and Arizona State.

AL9045

1 minute faster. :P.

AL9045

Add Bama to that list.

gov135

And Toledo defeats Pittsburgh. You kinda got the idea when Marshall beat Kansas State that Toledo, which beat Marshall, could take Pittsburgh.

AL9045

Whee.

I'm predicting something like a VA Tech/FSU championship game. .

laconic1

Oh, if only it had been even romotely close. That was embarassing for CU

degrawj

okay, so yeah. i just got back from the Michigan/Oregon game. Wow. that was the best football game i have EVER been to. jeebus h. christ man. i didn't think the Ducks could do it. so, this poses a question: Is Michigan overrated, or is Oregon underrated?

bobw

OK, THAT MAKES ME THE WINNER !!!!! What is my prize ?

The_Dude

congrats on that amazing pick.

To answer your questions 1) Oregon plays great at home and 2) Big Ten teams have a tough time playing Pac 10 teams on the road.

It was a cripple K-State though. If Ell was there, it probably would have been different.

I understand what you are saying. But K-State got beat up front, on both sides of the ball. That would have been the same if you were in at quarterback.

Also, remember Marshall's quarterback Stan Hill was also out for the whole game.

Artermis

Exactly gov...both teams were missing their starting QB's and therefore that excuse washes for neither.

As a Michigan fan I will say that Navarre cannot and will not lead the Wolverines to just one loss this season. I suspect going to Iowa will be a loss.

FSU is in a crappy conference for this year but come next year...things will change there. It will be like all the other conferences with the top 3 teams in the ACC beating up on each other and having an undefeated team very hard.

Oregon in the first half was underrated. In the 2nd half was rated about right. They had the ball for about 13 minutes of the first quarter which led to 3 TD's in the 2nd. The fact Oregon and USC dont play this years does not bode well since Oregon can be very dangerous team.

Iowa is getting no respect. Totally dominated ASU from the P-10. Northern Illinois not getting any respect. They beat a bama team that kept it close with OU and they also beat a highly ranked Maryland team earlier in the year.

I could keep going but that is about all I want to write right now.
