    A pretty darn good set of games tomorrow.

    12:00 EST games

    Texas Tech @ Kansas - look for Kansas to throw for 550 yards and pull off the upset.
    Boston College @ North Carolina - UNC should get a bounce back victory

    12:30 EST games

    Kentucky @ Florida - look for Kentucky to hang in there just before the half, then it's all Florida
    Oklahoma @ Kansas State - don't sleep on K-state. OU pulls out a fairly close win.

    3:30 EST games

    Georgia @ LSU - look for LSU to win in typical Les Miles style. CBS will love it.
    South Florida @ Louisville - South Florida wins a squeaker in OT.
    Virginia Tech @ Florida State - Beamer ball is back. Tech upsets FSU.
    Oklahoma State @ Texas - Texas gets upset in a bit of a shocker.

    7:45 EST game

    Alabama @ Tennessee - Alabama pulls off another close one late.

    8:00 EST game

    Penn State @ Ohio State - end of the line for the Nittany Lions dream season.

    10:15 EST game

    USC @ Arizona - USC comes from behind in the 4th quarter to keep their NC hopes alive.

    Lots of BCS implications, obviously. Texas, Texas Tech and Penn State losses will throw the BCS into complete anarchy. Everyone with 1 loss will be back in the fold for national title aspirations. That will include a 1 loss LSU team.

    FYI, an LSU win gets them anywhere from 7th to 9th place in the BCS polls, depending on the outcomes of the other games.

    The BCS watch officially starts in 3 minutes, with the Boise State @ San Jose State game. Should be a dandy. Enjoy.

    Well you need to make your way to Shuck and Dive, the LSU fan's hangout and great cajun/creole food.

    All Florida, all night. Florida by 21+.

    K-State gave up 30+ to ULL; nearly 50 to T Tech. OU puts up 50+ and soars.

    No way in heck imo. Ok State is a fraud. We'll find out, though.


    This is my upset pick for the week. Tennessee always plays well when Fulmer's ass is on the line. I go with Tennessee in this one.


    Agreed

    USC has only given up 10 points since they lost. And has won every game they played by landslide margins since that loss.

    No team that lost to New Mexico gives USC a scare.

    Agreed Florida wins by 21, I am just saying they will start off slow, as usual.

    OU will put up 51, it's just K-state will put up 41.

    Ok-State's defense stopped Mizzou's offense at their place. That was thought to be next to impossible. Look for Oklahoma State to slow down Colt McCoy just enough to pull out a squeaker, 33-31.

    Arizona will give USC's defense problems and keep them in the game until the end. USC 34, Arizona 27.

    Anybody see the Texas/Ok State game on their tv schedule?

    I don't see it down here in Florida.
