Obvious Wins
Ohio State vs Marshall
Prediction: Ohio State destroyed Marshall
Reason: I do not see Marshall doing anything special against a dominating team like Ohio State. Ohio State is gonna dominate.
Ole Miss vs GA Southern
Prediction: Ole Miss dominates
Reason: This pick was very easy to make. Jackson Dart is balling out, and GA Southern is a mediocre team.
Texas vs LA-Monroe
Prediction: Texas lights up the scoreboard
Reason: I heard Arch Manning would be starting today, and I could not be even more happier. I love Quinn Ewer, but I love seeing Manning ball out. I expect Manning and the Longhorns to light up the scoreboard against LA-Monroe.
Competitive Matchups
Clemson vs NC State
Prediction: Clemson beats NC State in the Textile Bowl
Reason: This game might be one of the top 3 games this week. Nothing is better than watching a rivalry with teams from a powerhouse conference. This will be a very entertaining game, with teams going back and forth with touchdowns. I have Clemson beating NC State in a high-scoring game.
Georgia Tech vs Louisville
Prediction: Louisville wins
Reason: While I do not think these teams are anything special, this will be a very entertaining game. Louisville is a team that can either ball out against good teams or be sub-par. This game could be a very competitive matchup after seeing how Georgia Tech has been performing. I have Louisville winning in a very close game.
USC vs Michigan
Prediction: USC crushes Michigan's dreams of hope
Reason: While Michigan did beat AR State, I am not sure they can go toe-to-toe with good top-25 teams. After seeing what Texas did to them at the Big House, I fear what USC could do to them after seeing how the Trojans have been performing. I do not expect a blowout by USC, but I believe they’ll probably win by two touchdowns.
Potential Upsets
#14 Oklahoma State vs #12 Utah
Prediction: Oklahoma State upsets Utah in a classic college football shootout
Reason: Looking at both Utah and Oklahoma State’s last three games, the Cowboys have at least 30 points each game, while Utah has only put up 23 points against a sub-par team like Baylor. If Oklahoma State can generate the same points as their last three games, the Cowboys could upset Utah.
Tennessee vs Oklahoma
Prediction: Sooners upset Tennessee at home
Reason: This pick was honestly the hardest choice for me. Both teams have been balling out but I have a feeling that Oklahoma would come out with the win. I honestly think this is the number one game of the week.
