Clemson 35 Wake Forest 17
Clemson has a really good offense, and an awful defense. I honestly don't know anything about Wake Forest. I think Jim Grobe is still their coach and I think Riley Skinner is still their QB for the 10th year in a row.

Cincinnati 20 Louisville 34
I thought Cincinnati was a bit overrated to begin with, and they lost to Toledo (who is pretty good) last week. Louisville is still undefeated, but they've struggled a bit on defense. Teddy Bridgewater makes up for a lot though, and the fact that Munchie Legaux thinks he's any where close to his level is highly laughable.

Temple 17 Pitt 20
Pitt has been ok at home outside of their season opening loss to Youngstown State, and they should be able to run the ball against Temple. The Owls can run the ball too, but I'm not sure if they have enough speed to shred the slow Panther defense up.

South Carolina 24 Tennessee 17
Derek Dooley needs a signature win or THIS GUY will replace him.

Ole Miss 34 Arkansas 37
Arkansas really needs this game if they want to go to a bowl game this year. Both teams have struggled defensively, and I think Tyler Wilson will  pull out a win at home.

Florida 20 Georgia 10
Florida's defense is probably better than anyone else's this side of Alabama,  and Georgia has struggled with inferior opponents and were mollywhopped by South Carolina, the only good team they have played so far. The Gators have been struggling to pass the ball consistently, but if their defense gets them great field position again it won't matter.

Arizona State 27 UCLA 31
Two sneaky good teams who will challenge USC for the Pac 12 south.

Texas Tech 24 Kansas State 40
Collin Klein is playing better than anyone else in the country right now, and the Wildcat defense has been impressive as well. Bill Snyder is a wizard.

USC 41 Arizona 30
Arizona has been pretty good this year under first year coach Rich rodriguez, but they won't be able to keep up with USC's passing game.

Duke 17 Florida State 30
ACC championship game preview?

Syracuse 27 South Florida 23
Syracuse can really thrown the ball and USF is playing some bad football right now.

Baylor 50 Iowa State 45
Should be a fun game, but some how it isn't on TV.

Notre Dame 20 Oklahoma 27
Oklahoma's offense has rebounded after a rough start to the season, but Notre Dame's defense is legit. That should be a fun battle. The Sooners defense is pretty solid, and I'm not a big believer in the Irish offense.

Mississippi State 13 Alabama 40
Has there ever been a more lopsided match up on paper between 2 top 11 teams? Alabama's offensive line will dominate again.
