National CFB Games This Weekend

After a pretty exciting and surprising Week 1, Week 2 is more of a settling in type of week. Not as many headline games, but certainly some more opportunities to get things down before some of the bigger games start. These games will determine who is serious about making it all the way, and who's trying to build up to that point. So, with that let's get onto the predictions. 

Last Week: 2-1

Season Record: 2-1

#17 Mississippi State Bulldogs at Auburn Tigers, SEC Network, 12:21 PM EST

The Bulldogs started the season off with a bang, and can really impress some people if they give last year's national champions their first loss of the season. Auburn, of course, avoided what would have been an embarrassing loss to Utah State. After seeing that performance, I can say with confidence that Miss. St can win this game. 

Prediction: Miss St wins 27-16

#3 Alabama Crimson Tide at #24 Penn State Nittany Lions, ABC, 3:30 PM EST

Last year's Bama-PSU game was a nightmare for Joe Pa and his crew, but this year might tell a different story as Penn State has a team that might show some resiliency against a pretty tough Alabama team. Whoever wins will certainly be rewarded with BCS bowl aspirations, and maybe even get themselves into the national championship competition. 

Prediction: #3 Alabama Wins 17-14

National CFB Games This Weekend

It's time to bring back the predictions, the hype, and the eventual glory for one team in college football. That road begins this weekend when the ball is kicked off the tee, and helmets collide in a bruising, powerful way. Let's begin!


Current Season Record: 0-0
Last Week's Record: 0-0


Minnesota Golden Gophers at USC Trojans, 3:30 PM EST, ABC/ESPN2
The Golden Gophers have a new head coach in Jerry Kill, and their offensive weapon at QB is MarQueis Gray. They will have to attack fast and hard if they have any hope against Barclay and the Trojans though, as USC has won 13 straight openers and 11 straight games against Big Ten opponents.
Prediction: USC wins 35-14
