As the air begins (in parts of the country) to cool and the leaves begin to turn that can only mean one thing: Conference play is about to ramp up full bore.
1. Texas @ Iowa St - UT 31 ISU 7 - I've been hard on the Longhorns this year, but ISU is terrible.
2. UCLA(-6) @ Utah - UCLA 42 Utes 14 - Outside of the shellacking they're sure to take from Oregon, I'm high on the Bruins this year.
3. Maryland @ Florida State(-16) - UM 14 FST 56 - The 'Noles have too much speed for the Turtle to handle
4. Michigan St(-1) @ Iowa - MST 24 IU 7 - I still have the theory that the Hawkeyes are not very good
5. Clemson(-14) @ Syracuse - Clem 42 Syr 7 - They might Clemson a game once this year, but not against this team
6. Rice @ Tulsa(-1) - Rice 27 Tulsa 24 - I picked Rice to win C-USA, they need this game to get there
7. Georgia(-10.5) @ Tennessee - UGA 35 UT 14 - UGA looked really good against LSU. I think they handle the Vols
8. Oregon(-39) @ Colorado - Oregon 77 Colorado 7 -Not only do I think the Ducks roll, but I think the Over (o/u 70) is a safe bet as well.
9.Texas Christian @ Oklahoma(-10) - TCU 10 OU 45 - What has TCU done this year to convince you they can be competitive against OU?
And finally......
10. Minnesota @ Michigan(-19) - Minn 20 Mich 23 - Despite being a Michigan fan, I can't see any reason to think Blue is going to run away with any game this year.
Good luck.
