Here are my top 5 games to watch this week.
#6 Oklahoma St @ 22 Texas
Can Texas bounce back after the debacle in the Red River Shootout. It is going to take alot for them to slow down Oklahoma. OKSU offense is much more potant than OU and OU's is pretty darn good. OSU hung a 56 on the board in the 1st half, the 1 HALF, scoring 35 and 21 in the 1st and 2nd quarter respectifully. WOW!!!! Weeden and Blackmon are just 2 names in this offesne to watch out for. If Texas wants to have a chance, they better get HUGE gams from McCoy and Shipley, yes they are the little brothers of Colt and Jordan.
#11 Michigan @ #23 Michigan St
The battle for the Paul Bunyon Trophy is going to be a big one today. Denard Robinson has help gotten Michigan off to a fast start and some people are talking Heisman trophy in Ann Arbor. He is helping lead Michigan to 2nd higest offense in the Big 10 avg 457.5 and avg 120 yards a game rushing. The only thing wrong with this Mich St is leading the nation in Defense 173.4 yrds and rush defense 64 yrds a game. Something has to give.
# 18 Arizona St @ # 9 Oregon
With no L. James for Oregon this turns into a matchup between Osweiler vs. Thomas. Osweiler has thrown for 1677 and 13 tds which are prety good numbers Thomas does not have quite the yardage numbers only having 1040 but does have 15 td. Thomas is responsible for in the spread O that Oregon runs to get them into the right play at the line of scrimmage This should be a good game.
#20 Baylor @ # 21 Texas A&M
This will be RG3 show. A&M blows a lead earlier in the year to Oklahoma St and a prolific passing attack. The Bears are the only team in the nation who avg 300 yrs passing and 200 yrds rushing. Yikes this is a dc nightmare. Another thing that is not going well for the AGgies is they have a FBS worst 347.6 against the passing game. I look for baylor to win going away.
Florida @ #24 Auburn
This is huge for Florida. This is their 3rd tough game in 5 weeks, with UGA still on teh schedule in 2 weeks. They can not lose 3 in a row in the SEC and expect to win the East, which as crazy as this sounds they still have a shot. On another note, Auburn has an SEC loss with Arkansas last week and cant lose another one with LSU and Alabama still left on the schedule. I believe it comes down to Rainey & Demps (Florida) vs Dyer(Auburn) which backfield can run the ball effectively and have the bigger day. Which ever team does than you can count on that team winning.
BONUS GAME: Furman @ Georgia Southern.
I had to do this being a graduate from GSU and this being a hated rival. Georgia SOuthern is leading the FCS in rushing and is the #1 team in the land. The "purple pansies" called by all the true blue fans are coming to a hostile Paulson stadium and I think it will not be pretty. Statesboro is on fire and will make it very tough for the guys from Furman. GSU stays #1 iwht a win vs the hated rivals.
