Obvious Wins
#5 Georgia vs Auburn
Prediction: Georgia bounces back from last week and defeats Auburn
Reason: I do not think anyone besides Auburn fans will disagree with this pick. Despite Georgia losing to Alabama last Saturday, the Bulldogs still look like a very dominant team. Auburn, on the other hand, has been looking quite disappointing with a 2-3 overall record and a 0-2 record in the SEC conference. I do not see Auburn doing any damage against Georgia. Money line Georgia to the Moon. The Bulldogs are going to bully the Tigers.
#15 Clemson vs Florida State
Prediction: Clemson destroys FSU
Reason: All I am going to say is that Florida State University is absolute trash. FSU is 1-4, and their only win is a 14-9 victory over California, which is mediocre for a team that was undefeated last year. FSU also allowed SMU to score 42 points against them. 42? That is depressing for FSU's standards. If DJ Uiagalelei is still the starting quarterback this Saturday, I do not see the Seminoles scoring over 20 points. Clemson will dominate.
#1 Alabama vs Vanderbilt
Prediction: Alabama rolls past Vanderbilt
Reason: I'm going to keep it plain and simple. The Tide is looking dangerous. I can't imagine Vanderbilt's defense stopping the dangerous duo of Jalen Millroe and Ryan Williams. Alabama comes out with an easy win.
UCLA vs #7 Penn State
Prediction: Penn State beats UCLA
Reason: Penn State is still undefeated, while UCLA is 1-3. UCLA has been on a three-game winning streak after their 16-13 win against Hawaii, who are not great either. Penn State is going to dominate in this game, without a doubt.
Competitive Matchups
#10 Michigan vs Washington
Prediction: Michigan beats Washington
Reason: When I first made my predictions, I put this game under obvious wins. However, after watching Michigan's last game against Minnesota, I decided to put this game under competitive matchups. I still believe Michigan will beat Washington, but they will not dominate the game.
#12 Ole Miss vs South Carolina
Prediction: Ole Miss beats South Carolina
Reason: Out of all the games this weekend, I think this will be the most competitive game of the week. After Ole Miss’ unfortunate loss to Kentucky, the Rebels want to bounce back with a victory over Carolina. This is not going to be an easy win for Ole Miss. South Carolina is 3-1 with a 31-6 victory over Kentucky, which Ole Miss lost last week after missing the game-tying field goal. While South Carolina could upset Ole Miss, I see the Rebels coming up with the big win.
Potential Upsets
SMU vs #22 Louisville
Prediction: SMU upsets Louisville
Reason: Some of you must be thinking that this pick is insane, but you have to trust the vision here. I know that Louisville is a ranked team, but SMU has been balling out recently in their last two games. SMU beat both TCU and Florida State, scoring over 40 points in both games. With this streak of lighting up the scoreboard, I can see SMU doing some damage to the Louisville defense on Saturday. I got SMU over Louisville.
