Week Seven brought another major upset in the Big Ten and the SEC. Iowa lost to Indiana; Vanderbilt beat Georgia snapping a 53 game losing streak to ranked teams. While this season has been kind of odd in that here have not been very many major upsets, the past two weeks have provided their fair share. The Auburn – Florida game lived up to the hype and went down to the last minute with Auburn winning the game. It was not without controversy either, which is another long running story this year. This week features two games that should get top billing. Texas travels to face Nebraska while Clemson hosts Georgia Tech in a battle for ACC supremacy.

(12) Clemson (-7.5) at (13) Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech has the best defense in the ACC. They shut down Notre Dame and have been dominant in each of their other games. Clemson has a chance to really take control of the ACC with a win. Clemson will win this game, but it will be closer than a Touchdown.

Texas A&M comes in after a big win for them against Missouri. The line indicates that people aren’t buying it quite yet. I’m a believer.
Texas A&M 32 – Oklahoma St. 25
Record for the year
I'll skip the sob story and just say that if I pick a game one way, you have a better than even chance of being right if you pick it the other way.
117-28 Straight UP
77-64-4 Against the Spread
USC bye. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
LOL
They need to find their offense :)
While I don't think Indiana has a significant chance of winning against Ohio state, I also think they are a rather better team than given credit for, and may well provide some surprises (like scoring a couple of touchdowns). I think they lose, but beat the spread.
I think they found it. It's called Chauncy, Jarrett and Smith.
Somebody send this memo to Lane Kiffin...
The Hoosiers really surprised me last week - hardly knew they had a 1A team
I think that Ohio State/Indiana game might be a bit closer than you are expecting.
Waiting for November 18th

So what's with the blinking trash cans?
Hopefully Mich can give the Bucks a more competitive game than Texas did
" (22) Boston College at Florida St. (-6)
Boston College 33 – FSU 17 "
I'll flip that score. Maybe the old man will wise up and fire his son. Catch you on Sunday;)
LOL
What you guys need is Norm Chow :)
landmines
He might fire his son at some point, but it won't be before Saturday.
We'll find out if Rutgers is the real deal this week.
depends.
I think Iowa was exposed for having a lack of speed on defense.
Ohio State definitely does not have that problem.
Yes we will.
I think they are the 4th best team in the Big East, behind Pittsburgh, Louisville and WVU.
Texas A&M may be winning ugly, but they are winning, the game in Stillwater will go a long way in making this either a pretty good season, or putting Franchione back on the hot seat.
well if they don't triple team that WR Ok ST has then he should be fired.
That guy is amazing. 300 yards receiving? Yikes!
