(7) Oregon (-3.5)\u00a0\u00a0 @ (5)\u00a0Michigan State<\/p>\n

The Oregon\u00a0Ducks were tested by Eastern Washington last week and that will carry over to this week.\u00a0Heisman contender Conner Cook\u00a0could make a major statement in this game but the key to victory for Sparta is “Defense”.\u00a0Look for this game to\u00a0be close with Michigan State making the big stops in the 4th quarter.<\/p>\n

(14) LSU (-4)\u00a0 @\u00a0 (25) Mississippi State<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Tigers \u00a0game was canceled last week due to\u00a0inclement weather \u00a0while Mississippi State took care of C-USA Southern Miss. For the self proclaimed best division football. This\u00a0game will start the season long elimination process\u00a0of the pretenders. LSU\u00a0has a strong running game\u00a0with\u00a0 Leonard Fournette and I do\u00a0expect\u00a0him\u00a0to carry the load to a LSU victory.<\/p>\n

This game is screaming Upset!\u00a0 BYU pulled off a incredible upset defeating Nebraska on a hail marry last week in Lincoln.\u00a0 Unfortunately for the\u00a0Cougars, staring QB\u00a0Taysom Hill will miss the rest of the season due to a foot injury, but that should not stop the Cougar offense.\u00a0 Boise State has become the Non-Power 5 BCS\/ New Year Six Bowl contender year in and year out. So this could be a game in which\u00a0will change the landscape\u00a0of\u00a0Non-Power\u00a05 teams. \u00a0I believe BYU will be playing hard for former QB Taysom Hill and pull off another upset with a late\u00a0field goal.<\/p>\n

(19) Oklahoma @\u00a0 (23) Tennessee (-1.5)<\/p>\n

Butch Jones, head coach of Tennessee has slowly turned the\u00a0Vols program around. To help his rebuilding\u00a0process, he needs to have a huge win over the\u00a0Sooners.\u00a0Major media\u00a0outlets down south are not giving the Sooners any chance in this game.\u00a0Unfortunately SEC fans, I don’t see this game\u00a0going well for you PRIDE. Sooners are\u00a0going to have big plays in the running game that will lead them to victory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Oklahoma 33\u00a0 Tennessee 21<\/strong><\/p>\n
