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
With the notable exception of the UNLV game next week, we'll need it. Nice W though.
IMO, ya won't make halftime.
Go Mountaineers!!
My Badgers just don't get no respect. The #22 ranking is an insult. They rank 4th to 7th in most defensive categories nationwide. Their offense is piling on the points. That redshirt freshman PJ Hill has racked up over 1100 yards in 7 games.
This cheesehead says they should be rated in the top 10.
One loss to Michigan and I'd say their schedule is as tough as the patsy scedule the Buckeyes have this year.
Damn.......Just my opinion of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The winds could affect WV bigtime.
Go UConn!!!!
We shall see.
It should be an interesting weekend, since for UConn this is homecoming weekend for the alummni of that university. It should be an interesting game.
BZZZZT!!! Wrong answer this year...where's the hype if that game is played after September? FSU has two "must-win" games, the first, and the last regular season games...UM and UF. Well spaced, too.
yeah this year, but next year the game is going to be later.
Besides that rivalry is suffering because it's being played so early.
Badly played games don't help a rivalry.
I think the Ole Myth Game/Ark game is going to be real close. I think the piggies are better but I am not all sold on them yet
Yeah, they're better. But I don't think they're 3 touchdowns better ...
OLe Miss is really spoiling for a win too. They have to get a break some time this year and I think this might be it
Pat White (QB - WVA) 13 carries 103 yards.
sorry all for the delay in the ping.
At the half
WVU 20
UCONN 3
Should be an interesting second half. WVU can put them away, but I don't think UCONN will go away quietly....
I would not be suprised if UConn goes down fighting. But what suprises me is that the touchdown the WV made that got them to 20 they did it in a simple walk. I thought you have to run with the ball to get a touchdown. Amazing.
WV is good for scoring a lot of points, but I think the cold weather has slowed them down a bit.
well UCONN has taken Steve Slaton away from WVU.
for some reason they haven't run the ball with the QB yet.
Indiana 3, OSU 0; 4 minutes left in 1st q.
Wooo Ark guy ran 100 yards on opening kickoff to score lol against ole miss.
In honor of that time for "Colonel Reb is crying"

Notre Dame - UCLA? It's nice to see them playing football. Back in the day they'd always play home and home basket ball games against each other.
I don't have ESPNU so I geuss I'll hve to be content following the game on ESPN Gamecast. Go Bucks! It's already 14-3.
I'm rooting for Purdue versus Wisconsin!!!!!
