4 LSU @ 18 Georgia
Iroquois:
One of these teams will be exposed as a pretender this week. My vote is GA. Is LSU looking ahead to Florida? Maybe. Despite the game being in Filthy Leghumper Land,
LSU over UGA.
Slate:
Yes, they are playing between the hedges. Yes, LSU's offense takes entire halves of football games off. Yes, Georgia's offense has more punch than it did last year despite losing two first rounders (doesn't having a healthy O-Line help?). But no, Georgia will not win. To Hell with Georgia.
LSU over UGA.
Annie:
LSU because a tiger could beat a bulldog
LSU over UGA
7 USC @ 24 Cal
Slate:
Cal got pantsed last week by Oregon. Jahvid Best was "contained" and Cal's offense was shot down. This was done by an average defense. USC, however, has a defense that if properly motivated could prevent a bayonet charge by British regulars circa 1800. It's over early.

Javhid Bust? He usually sucks against USC, so in spite of a Jonny Gomes Competent performance by Best...

No Bradford, no problem. Remember, Miami only beat GA Tech so bad because Miami is uniquely suited to match up against GA Tech's offense because of the speed of the defense.
OU over Meeeami, papi.
Slate:
Last week Miami's offense was eviscerated thanks to Va Tech alternating between insane mega blitzes and soft cover 2 defenses. It was up to Jacory Harris to figure out what happened. Most of the time, he did not figure it out until he was either sacked, picked or forced to run for his life. Oklahoma's defense is a puzzle, like most Big XII teams, because we don't know how it will work against a real offense (no, BYU is not a real one... their defense however is real). This will be closer than most expect.

22 Michigan @ Michigan State

Iroquois:
Tate En-Forcier and the running game defeat a disheartened MSU squad. On another note, they should have let Golden Tate fall on his face.
Michigan over Michigan State.
Slate:
My heart (and something else) tells me to go with MSU, because they have lost 3 games by less than a score. Also somehow, this Michigan's first trip away from the freindly confines. Four straight games at home against terrible terrible terrible defenses lead to four wins and the world salivating at their comeback. Yet, my brain tells me that somehow MSU will not win this. Michigan State's defense has looked slow and for some reason does not blitz. Blitzing, it turns out, is what kills freshman QBs on the road... particularly at a rivals house. If MSU blitzes frequently and Michigan does their stupid "snap within 20 seconds" thing, MSU can win simply on ball control... and it's been proven by all teams that you can run on the Wolverine defense.
Yet something tells me MSU will lose this game due to some stupid thing like a late turnover or a bad gameplan. They can and should win because Michigan has been dining on cupcakes and wildly overrated teams from South Bend, Indiana. Yet something tells me Michigan will win and win big even though I would personally hate to see that happen because MSU has been losing games almost because it is written, not because they suck.

Michigan State because Sparty is the best mascot ever
MSU over U of M
25 Ga Tech @ Miss. St.
Iroquois:
Despite nearly pulling it out against LSU, I can't foresee State getting the fire back so quickly. Young teams rarely do.
Ga Tech over State.
Slate:
Mississippi State almost got their annual upset over a big team in the SEC last week. They came within about 2 inches and a lucky deflection by a defender from winning. It all depends on which GT offense that shows up. GT's Miami game offense which was painful to watch... or GT's UNC game offense which was a smoothly oiled machine. In a shocker, I take:
MSSU over GT!
Annie:
Georigia Tech because they probably have engineers
GT over MSSU
Washington @ Notre Dame

Iroquois:
Worshington over Notre Dumb.
Slate:
Washington celebrated the victory over USC with a loss to Stanford. Will they rebound against a super overrated Notre Dame team (yes i know they aren't even ranked)? Yes. ND survived a against a bad Purdue team but looked like Rocky Balboa after the fight in Rocky I. I think Washington becomes everyone's favorite team by finally crushing the ND BCS hope train.
U-Dub over Notre Lame.

Washington because I'm not Catholic
