National CFB Games This Weekend

I've got to get myself to do this every week, I keep forgetting. Oh well, we all know I would have picked correctly anyway. At least that's what I tell myself to keep myself from crying every night.

Last Week's Record: 0-0
Season Record: 9-4 (69% correct thus far)

Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-2, 1-2) at #3 Oklahoma Sooners (6-0, 3-0), 8 PM EST, ABC/ESPN3
The Red Raiders are a pretty decent team this year, and have aspirations of upsetting the course of the Sooners way to the Big 12 championship game. The Sooners most likely won't have too much difficulty as they are in Norman, but anything can happen. Prediction: Oklahoma Wins 44-21

North Carolina Tar Heels (5-2, 1-2) at #9 Clemson Tigers (7-0, 4-0), 12 PM EST, ESPN/ESPN3
Tajh Boyd and the rest of the Tigers came back against Maryland last week after being down 18. Twice. Yes, really. North Carolina had some good momentum, but stepped on their feet, and dropped from our BlogPoll rankings. If they can upset the Tigers, I would be surprised. Prediction: Clemson Wins 31-21

#22 Washington Huskies (5-1, 3-0) at #4 Stanford Cardinal (6-0, 4-0), 8 PM EST, ABC/ESPN3
If you're a Cardinal fan and you're upset that the Cardinal has dropped a couple spots in the AP Poll because of a weak schedule, here's why: Washington is one of 2 games that is truly important for Stanford when it comes down to the BCS. The other? Oregon. If you're a Huskie fan, you've got to be impressed with how well this team is doing, and are hoping for a huge upset. Prediction: Stanford Wins 24-10

#23 Auburn Tigers (5-2, 3-1) at #1 LSU Tigers (7-0, 4-0), 3:30 PM EST, CBS
Auburn has been the team that just has everyone confused. Sometimes they can't seem to win games easily against teams they should, but then at other times: look like a legit threat to the SEC crown. LSU, on the other hand, just rolls over anyone. Just ask Oregon, or Florida, or West Virginia. They've taken them all down with ease, thanks to a sick nasty defense. I truthfully can't wait until that meeting between the two undefeateds: Alabama and LSU. Prediction: LSU Wins 34-17


Game of the Week
#5 Wisconsin Badgers (6-0, 2-0) at #15 Michigan State Spartans (5-1, 2-0), 8 PM EST, ESPN
The game of the week features two Big Ten teams, including the Russell Wilson-led Badgers and the Spartans of Michigan State. MSU's only loss came to Notre Dame, where the defense played decently, but not well enough. The Badgers only real win is Nebraska, which was at home. A true test for Wisconsin as they travel to Ohio State next week after this match up. Prediction: Wisconsin Wins 26-21
