OSU over Michigan: I keep waiting for a team in the Big 10(ish) to stop being worthless so they can compete with OSU, but Michigan is going the opposite direction. Maybe Sparty can climb off the door mat and challenge them in the conference title game next week.
Bama over Auburn: I have to root for Bama hard here because they are the only thing standing between an FSU-OSU national title game. That would be unbearable.
Stanford over ND: Where were you last year when we needed you, Stanford?!
A&M over Missouri: The Tigers’ great run comes to an end.
FSU over UF: They will be jacked up, but I just don’t see how the Gators can score more than twice against an FBS team with the woodchippered offense they are working with right now. And the defense can’t hold for 60 minutes against anyone.
Andrew Spivey
I’ve to gain two games on Mr. Seth this week to tie him, so I’m going with a few upsets on the card this weekend.
Daniel “DK” Thompson
Last game of the season, can’t hold anything back. I didn’t.
Seth Puglio
A couple tough picks this final week. I’ll take Bama to shutdown the flashy Auburn offense. USC continues their dominance over Clemson. Missouri impresses with an impressive win over Johnny Football.
Richard Johnson
Matchup I’m most looking forward to? A sneaky good USC-UCLA game. Don’t look now but Coach O has the Trojans back in the top-25 and on the cusp of 10 wins and he’s reeled off five straight through such innovative coaching techniques as: letting the players eat junk food, and allowing someone to wear No. 1 on their jerseys. Both of those were banned by Lane Kiffin, Ed Orgeron has reinstituted them. You remember Lane? He coached USC in like 2005 I think, or so it seems. Kiffin was the coach of the Trojans two months ago, and since the debacle at Arizona State that led to his firing, USC has only lost once. They’re 14th in the nation in total defense and 22nd in yards per play allowed. They’re 17th in scoring defense and 24th in turnover margin. That goes against a UCLA team that’s middle of the pack in their own conference offensively, seventh and sixth in total offense and yards per play gained respectively. Quarterback Brett Hundley is very good, but the Bruins aren’t quite ready for prime time yet. The Trojans aren’t a great team, but they’re very much above average with the talent to be great on both sides of the ball and the impact of Coach O has led to some pretty good football over the last 60 days. Fight on.
