    Arizona with 4 year starter at QB lights up the overated secondary of USC and beats USC here in Tucson.
    I have had season tickets for AZ for 8 years (since move) and have watched a ton of terrible football, but this team is better than the others and USC never plays well here anyway. Tuitama will have his best game of his career and AZ will be sitting in first place in the pac-10. Mike Thomas is a playmaker at wideout and will get loose in their secondary. They played real well last week against Cal, and I expect the same this week.
    After LSU game I will put on my AZ hat and pull for the upset over the WORST FANS (There is no question....period) in college football.
    Tennessee rises up and knocks off Bama in Knoxville.

    By the way, for you betters......Even if they dont win AZ should cover the 16.

    No way USC drops one to UofA. I wish I could believe that that would, but they appear to back on track. Don't forget, UofA has to play defense, too.

    I've thought that UTenn could take down Bama since I watched Bama nearly drop one to UK. Make no mistake, UTenn is terrible. But they always play up for Bama. If they can avoid falling behind in the first half, the game is theirs. Bama doesn't field a team in the second half.

    NO WAY...Come on now, thats a bit strong.....they did lose to Oregon State. I have friends that will be on the sidelines for USC, and they are very concerned about their Defensive front and secondary.
    On offense, if you watch them closely, they try WAY TOO hard to get the ball to McNight (think he's bush already) but truth is he is not their best pure running back. If they continue to do that and try to win pretty, it only hurts them.
    It will be a shootout and AZ will score, a couple of turnovers AZ way and it very easily could be a win for AZ.

    Arizona is too inconsistent. I say USC by 20.

    alabubba has been outscored 81 to 55 in the second half of everyone of their games, and outscored 71 to 27 in the second half of all of the SEC games. I agree with the above poster if UT can stay close at halftime i think they have a shot at knocking off the Tide. This alabama team reminds me of the 05 team that was riding high at 9-0 until we knocked them off and ruined their season.

    speaking of that season, check this out....

    I think Bama takes their "shouldn't have lost to that team" loss versus the Croomers.

    Obviously I hope Bama is undefeated and we're the ones to hand them their first loss, but I really think The Fightin' Fulmers have a shot in this one. Both play similar styles and UT is not as bad on defense as you imagine. This is UT's bowl game. Beating Bama would make their season.

    Let me get this straight. AZ will beat USC!! (well, at least they will cover the 16). I get it.

    By the way, Geaux Tigers!!! Anything good for LSU is good for USC at this point. And both teams are hated by computers (USC = #10 and LSU = #19) 19!!! :huh:This is why it is so hard to support the BCS system
