5. Texas Christian Horned Frogs at Texas Longhorns
A Battle of Texas and two ranked teams. Texas numbers weren't superb last week against Arkansas St. so there are a few question marks surrounding the Longhorns and they were dropped a few spots in the polls. Surprisingly these teams have not played in awhile, so there really isn't much of a rivalry. The Pick: Texas gets its act together
4. Oregon Ducks at Michigan Wolverines
The Wolverines as heartbroken as they must be as a team need to rebound in a big way else their coach is going to get the ax big time. For the Wolverines the 'non-cupcake' games start this weekend and in comes Oregon who will give the Wolverines defense fits. What can't Michigan defend? Running Quarterbacks. What can Oregon do? Run Dixon out of the backfield. If Dixon ends up with 200 yards on the ground I would not be shocked.The Pick: Michigan Sneaks it Out to Maintain Some of My Sanity
3. Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Penn St. Nittany Lions
Two classic teams battling it out on National Television. Here's the problem, one of them is really good and the other really isn't. If Charlie gets drubbed by another 30 points I think the stress just might bust one more of those staples. The Pick: Penn St. by a good chunk
2. Miami Hurricanes at Oklahoma Sooners
Apparently the Pollsters don't like Marshall anymore cause the Hurricanes destroyed them and yet they received no love in the polls. I'm slightly baffled by this, they had one very subpar 7-6 season, but they still have massive amounts of talents and they went 9-3 the season prior. Why does no one in the world believe in the Hurricanes? The Pick: I believe in the Hurricanes
1. Virginia Tech at Lousiana State Tigers
And finally onto the biggest game of the weekend with the odd start time, 9:15. This is arguably the biggest game for both teams this season, especially Tech. If Tech can win this game they will vault themselves up the rankings, and to the top of mine at the very least. Both teams have stellar defenses and there should be a lot of action for the punters. Turnovers will probably be the biggest key of this game.The Pick: LSU in a low scorer
