NC State at Florida State
'Noles are favored by 31 1/2. If the Wolfpack somehow pull this off I'm gonna be dancing naked in the street, but somehow I have a feeling that the people in this neighborhood have nothing to worry about. A close game here is as good as a win for NC State, IF...
12 UCLA at 3 Oregon
Ducks are expected to get De'Anthony Thomas back for this critical game. Spread is 23, DAT + Autzen Stadium + catching FSU = Ducks blowout
Penn State at 4 Ohio State
Buckeyes cover the 12 1/2
21 S. Carolina at Missouri
Tigers are favored by 2 1/2, I think the Tigers tenure in the top 5 will be a short one, Gamecocks win.
6 Stanford at 25 Oregon State
I like the Beavers, I'm an Oregon native and have always rooted for the Beavers, even though they're never been quite as sexy as the Ducks. But I believe Stanford will win and cover the 3 1/2 points
Wake Forest at 7 Miami (FL)
Hurricanes escaped the upset last weekend by the skin of their teeth, I think it will serve as a wake-up call. They will pummel the Demon Deacons and cover the 24
8 Baylor at Kansas
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks this isn't basketball. Bears will cover the 34
9 Clemson at Maryland
Tigers were humiliated last week, they will beat the Terrapins like they stole something and cover the 14
10 Texas Tech at 15 Oklahoma
The Red Raiders are looking to prove they deserve a top 10 ranking. They don't. The Sooners are favored by 6 1/2 and they will cover.

Alabama vs Tennessee- I'll take Bama to cover the spread. They are a huge wrecking ball that can't be stopped. Say hello to your National Champions.
FSU vs NC ST. - I'll take NC ST, to cover but lose. I'm still not convinced FSU is a team made to cover 30 pt spreads.
Oregon vs UCLA- I like Oregon to cover and UCLA to tank the rest of the season. Bruins cost me 25 bucks last week, I hope they get trounced.
Ohio State vs Penn St. - I'll ride it out with the Buckeyes, they should win going away.
South Carolina vs Missouri - Gotta roll with Steve Spurrier and SC in this one. I would have went with Mizzou if their QB didn't get injured but they don't look like world beaters without him.
Stanford vs Oregon State- I'm gonna take the upset. I'm still not impressed with Stanford to the point I think they can take the win in hostile Corvalis. Go Beavers!!! hmmm beavers.
Miami vs Wake Forest- I'm gonna take the 24 and go with the Demon Deacons. I'm convinced the Dorsett injury will set Miami back and they looked average against NC last week. They still win the game however.
Baylor vs Kansas- Baylor all the way, they're rolling up points in large numbers and have some great team speed and speed kills.
Clemson vs Maryland- I'll take Clemson to cover and win. I have not been feeling good about Boyd's game and i'm sure he doesn't either.
Texas Tech vs Oklahoma- Oklahoma stinks, no way they take this game. Red Raiders will walk away with a victory in an ugly offensive game.
