National CFB Games This Weekend

It's been awhile since I've had time to do these, in fact, the last time was Week 2! We'll continue our record from there, and although we missed some important games, some even more important ones will come into play down the stretch. Let's take a look at the National games this weekend, and give our predictions.

Last Week's Record: 0-0
Season Record: 6-2

#14 Texas A&M Aggies vs. #18 Arkansas Razorbacks, 12:00 PM EST, ESPN
The Aggies and Razorbacks are both coming off their first loss of the 2011 season, and both to very good football teams. The Aggies had a strong lead against the Cowboys of Oklahoma State, only to squander a big halftime lead in a 30-29 loss. Arkansas, on the other hand, was outmatched heading into the second quarter, and got handed a 38-14 loss. Soon after, it was announced that A&M had been accepted to the SEC and would join in 2012. This game will certainly become an annual event for the two rivals, and should offer a good preview of where A&M is among some of the SEC "elite". Prediction: Texas A&M Wins 34-21


#15 Baylor Bears at #24 Kansas State Wildcats, 3:30 PM EST, ABC
Robert Griffin has been outstanding, while the Wildcats offense and defense are much improved. Both have quality wins over tough opponents in TCU and Miami (Fl.) The key factor in this is if RG3 turns the ball over or makes a lot of mistakes. Other than that, I just don't see KSU upsetting the Bears. Prediction: Baylor Wins 42-21
