Here are the picks for this week!
#9 Michigan State Spartans vs. #14 Nebraska Cornhuskers
Michigan State is coming off of three big victories and their biggest one beating Wisconsin last weekend. However the winner of this game will be in the drivers seat to represent the Leaders Division in the first ever Big 10 Championship Game. This game should be a physical game where both teams will look to pound the rock. If Nebraska can stop the run and have some success in the passing game they could get the upset. However Michigan State's stout run defense could be too much for the Huskers.
Prediction: Michigan State 24 Nebraska 21
Many thought if the Sooners were going to lose a regular season game this year it would be to somebody like the Oklahoma State Cowboys, not Texas Tech. Now coming off a tough loss they have to travel to Manhattan Kansas and face off against an undefeated Kansas State team that is playing some very good football this year. As good as Kansas State has been this year, this isn't going to be their year. Oklahoma is just too talented and too angry after dropping the game last weekend. Don't be surprised if this game gets ugly.
Prediction: Oklahoma 35 Kansas State 17
Baylor Bears vs #4 Oklahoma State Cowboys
If you want to watch some good defense, don't watch this game. Both teams have wide open explosive attacks and this game should be full of highlights. Baylor is looking to show that their losses earlier in the season aren't who they really are, while Oklahoma State wants to show that they are worth their lofty ranking. This game should be close, but Oklahoma State has too much talent on both offense and defense and should edge out the Bears.
Prediction: Baylor 38 Oklahoma State 49
#6 Clemson Tigers vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Clemson is off to their best start in years and look to keep the ride going. However going to Georgia Tech isn't going to be easy. Georgia Tech was looking pretty formidable before losing two games in a row. Add in that it is very tough to defend Georgia Tech's triple option offense and we could see an upset here. However just like it will be hard for Clemson to stop Georgia Teach, it will be hard for Georgia Tech to slow down the explosive offense of Clemson.
Prediction: Clemson 38 Georgia Tech 31
#3 Stanford Cardinal vs USC Trojans
What could have been a preview of the Pac 12 Title Game, but with USC's NCAA violations they are not able to play in the game. However USC is treating this like their own bowl game. Stanford has picked up where they left off last year, having a balanced offensive attack and a tough physical defense. USC has a very talented QB in Matt Barkley and WR Robert Woods, but don't have a whole lot else. USC only has one loss so far, but they are going to have a tough time with Stanford here.
Prediction: Stanford 35 USC 14
