For this coming weekend...

#1 tOSU vs #17 Illinois - I'm surprised the Buckeyes are only favored by -14.5.

#8 Alabama vs #14 Missouri - The Tide seems to be rolling after a quick stumble earlier. Either team that loses should drop below us.

Washington State vs #4 Ole Miss - Should be a massacre.

#7 Indiana vs #3 Oregon - I doubt either team falls below us.

#6 Oklahoma vs Texas - Even if Texas manages an upset, Oklahoma probably stays ahead of us, unless it a complete blowout.

Arkansas vs #12 Tennessee - Tennessee should take this comfortably, unless Arkansas isn't nearly as bad as what we saw.

Florida vs #5 Texas A&M - Billy Napier seems to be one of the best coaches in the nation, provided that he has the "if you lose again, you're fired" ultimatum levied against him. I don't think he has enough magic left to pull this one off, though.

Virginia Tech vs #13 Georgia Tech - The hornets should take this comfortably. Virginia Tech has been reeling all year, and firing Brent Pry adds more chaos.

Kansas vs #9 Texas Tech - Lance Leipold has actually put Kansas into the arena of respectability again, but Texas Tech should take this easily.

#10 Georgia vs Auburn - Possible upset here. Auburn has a very good defense, and can present Georgia with some issues. A loss should send them below us.

#15 Michigan vs USC - Lincoln Riley has the offense humming along nicely, and their QB has become a legit dual threat.

South Carolina vs #11 LSU - LSU on paper should take this smoothly, but Brian Kelly has a way of somehow snatching defeat from the steel jaws of victory.



Moving up 1 spot is a sure thing, since the loser of Alabama vs Missouri will drop.

If we take care of business on our end, I think we move up 2, maybe 3 spots after this coming Saturday.

I have a feeling that USC will pull off the upset, since Bryce Underwood still looks lost out there, and he's being put in the role of a game manager. As good as Michigan's defense is, if they can't sustain some offensive drives, they're going to get gassed.
