Top 5 games for today

1) Florida #22 Georgia: This is the number 1 game if you ask me.  The World Largest Outdoor Cocktail party is always a crazy time.  Both teams are coming off bye weeks and should be healthy now, or at least healthier than they were 2 weeks ago.  Florida needs this win to basically salvage a very rough October, which included beat downs vs Bama and LSU and a loss to Auburn.  Georgia needs this win to ultimate win the East.  Yes that is right I said it to win the East.  If they win here, there emotions are high they win out including beating Auburn, while SC goes to Arkansas next week and WILL LOSE!!!!!! SO it is Salvage vs SEC EAST.

2) #5 Clemson Georgia Tech:  Just 3 short weeks ago this looked to be the premier game in the ACC.  Both teams were undefeated and riding high, but Tech hits a speed bump losing at UVA and Miami, while Clemson keeps rolling.  Clemson already has a strangle hold on the Atlantic but can all but wrap it up with a win at Tech.  Tech needs this win to get back on track and also to hope to have a shot at getting to Charlotte.  Taj Boyd and freshman phenom Sammy Watkins vs Tevin Washington and the Triple O

3) #6 Stanford Southern Cal: The reason this is on my radar very simple: Andrew Luck vs Matt Barkley.  There numbers are very similar Luck 1888 yards and 20tds vs Barkley 2006 yards and 19tds.  Luck will be the top pick of this years draft and the jury is still out on Barkley, he could be a stud or he could be a bust.  This battle of California might help Barkley land on the 1st round map.

4) #9 Oklahoma #8 Kansas State: Oklahoma comes in after a loss at home vs Texas Tech.  This HAS to be a bonce back win for Oklahoma if they want a chance in the conversation of National Championship.  Kansas State has been sneaky all year sneaking up the rankings and wins to 7-0 record.  They have wins over Miami and a Baylor team led by RG3.  Since K state has been so sneaky this year, I will give you a player to watch  Rb Klein has 670 yards rushing and 14 tds

5) #1 Georgia Southern #5 App State: Being a GSU grad I had to put this matchup in at #5.  This game has just too much history over the last few years.  The thing that is scary about this game is it will be raining. cold, and could have an inch + of snow in Boone which does not boad well for the Eagles, who depend on the Triple O and alot of cutting action.  This might help App St slow this machine down that has been scoring monster points all year Will the Eagles continue to soar high or will the Mountaineers clip the wings of the #1 Eagles?
