Change fraud to overrated. OU was overrated.

No. 1 Oregon vs. UCLA, 9 p.m. - Oregon
Do the ducks sink like Bama and the Buckeyes? Nope. they swim .. er run all over the Bruins. UCLA doesn't have the defense to pull off an upset unless the ducks drop the rock all over Autzen Stadium. not gonna happen this week.
UCLA 13 1
Oregon 60
Now that's more like it! A number 1 who gets it done! Despite being one of the best offensive teams in the country, the Ducks will eventually need to stop someone on defense.
Saturday
No. 3 Oklahoma at No. 18 Missouri, 8 p.m. - Oklahoma
OU has been tested, Mizzou has not. until Mizzou shows me a strong defense they will continue to lose to Zerou.
3
Oklahoma 27 18
Missouri 36
Mizzou gets it done. Mizzou's defense did step up, OU's did not. The tone was set from the start, OU recently has not had good special teams. OU's defense has not been dominant since Stoops 2 bolted to AZ.
No. 4 TCU vs. Air Force, 8 p.m. - TCU
Air Force is capable of playing with TCU. for about 30 minutes. At home TCU will start strong and pull away from the falcons.
Air Force 7 4
TCU 38
TCU made a good Air Force team look bad, but strong teams on a mission usually do. Da Froggies continue to roll.
No. 5 Auburn vs. No. 6 LSU, 3:30 p.m. - LSU
This is a tough one to call. Lester has more lives than my fat old cat! he'll pull a rabbit out of his hat and somehow take down Aubie.
6
LSU 17 5
Auburn 24
Went all in with Lester. No rabbit out of the hat this time, Mikey. Newton had a monster game, if he continues this level of play he'll be in New York as a serious contender for the big statue.
No. 7 Alabama at Tennessee, 7 p.m. - Alabama
The Tide needs a win here. The other UT isn't ready for the big leagues just yet. Bama needs a strong game to show the voters they are still a contender.
7
Alabama 41
Tennessee 10
The Tide is back, this week at least. Still, Bama has a weakness, their QB is good but not great, stop the run and Bama can be beaten.
No. 8 Michigan State at Northwestern, Noon. - Michigan State
Sparty is rollin' and could take the Big Ten. Northwestern has struggled to put away lessor teams so 5-1 record is suspect. Sparty rolls.
8
Michigan St 35
Northwestern 27
Sparty shows some moxie to pull this one out, the magic season continues in East Lansing. Sparty has a big test at Iowa next week but they control their own destiny if they win out it's Roses (or more) for Sparty.
No. 9 Utah vs. Colorado State, 6 p.m. - Utah
Utes are way too talented for the Rams. this one will be over by halftime, Utes roll easy on their way to a showdown with TCU.
Colorado St 6 9
Utah 59
Utes roll. They are a monster on offense, but a big test looms with a Froggies, defense will decide it.
No. 10 Wisconsin at No. 13 Iowa, 3:30 p.m. - Wisconsin
Badgers will win this game not on offense but on defense, not impressed with Iowa offense and QB Stanzi so Bucky Badger struts again to another win.
10
Wisconsin 31 13
Iowa 30
Badgers chew up Capt. Kirk. this was one of the best games of the day, two highly ranked teams. Unfortunately for Bucky Badger, Sparty already beat ya so you need help.
No. 11 Ohio State vs. Purdue, Noon. - Ohio State
Buckeyes absolutely need a win to stay in the hunt. loss to Badgers was not really Pryor's fault but he needs strong game early to take away any chance for an upset.
Purdue 0 11
Ohio St 49
Buckeye's get back on track. Pryor had great stats, except for one item. 2 INT's. watch those turnovers big guy.
No. 12 Stanford vs. Washington State, 5 p.m. - Stanford
goin' all in with Harbaugh. W St. is bad, Stanford is good. This won't even be close.
Wash St 28 12
Stanford 38
Harbaugh rolls. this game was not as close as the final score seems, Cardinal up 31-7 after 3.
No. 14 Nebraska at No. 17 Oklahoma State, 3:30 p.m. - Oklahoma State
sorry Judge, going against the majority here, bugeaters can't contain Blackmon he'll have a big day and cptjohnstone gets the win (and a post-victory bj from his babe)
14
Nebraska 51 17
Okla St 41
Sorry cptjohnstone, the Judge got out the 'ol Billy Barou on ya. Bo knows offense this week, as a passing team no less. Who knew?
No. 15 Arizona vs. Washington, 10:15 p.m. - Arizona
Not big on Locker, he'll need a huge game to take down Stoops 2 in his house. Not this time, Stoops 2 gets the win.
Washington 14 15
Arizona 44
Which Stoops misses the other more? Not Stoops 2 today. He rolls over a bad Husky team.
No. 19 South Carolina at Vanderbilt, 7 p.m. - South Carolina
goin' all in with Steve Superior. Vandy is .. Vandy. S Carolina needs a win and the 'ol ball coach works the magic when he needs it.
19
S Carolina 21
Vanderbilt 7
Carolina keeps it's chances to win SEC East alive, did not miss Lattimore but this is .. Vandy.
No. 20 West Virginia vs. Syracuse, Noon. - West Virginia
Syracuse is improved but not up to this one, Stewy gets another strong win in his house.
Syracuse 19 20
W Virginia 14
Stewy, ya gotta win in yer house! Repeat after me .. "We must protect this house!"
No. 21 Arkansas vs. Mississippi, 12:21 p.m. - Arkansas
Boss Hogg rebounds with a win. too much offense for 'Ole Miss and i hate Houston Yer Nutts. Boss Hogg kicks you in yer Nutts, Ole Miss. Hey Masoli bet you wish you were still a rubber duckie!
Mississippi 24 21
Arkansas 38
Boss Hogg kicks Houston's Nutts! Nuff said.
No. 22 Texas vs. Iowa State, Noon. - Texas
UT needs more improvement on offense and Iowa St. should prove a good tune-up for my Horns.
Iowa St 28 22
Texas 21
Ain't no way to put lipstick on this pig, 'cause it's still a pig. some are already comparing Gilbert Grape to .. Chris Simms. Not true .. yet. We'll know next year.
No. 23 Virginia Tech vs. Duke, Noon. - Virginia Tech
Beamer continues to recover from the JM disaster. told ya Va Tech would be ranked again. Va Tech will contend for the ACC title.
Duke 7 23
VA Tech 44
Beamer ball. Va Tech will win the ACC. told ya they'd rebound and be ranked after the JM disaster but once again Va Tech has to wonder what might have been.
No. 24 Mississippi State vs. UAB, 7 p.m. - Mississippi State
if Miss St. can take down Florida in the swamp they damn sure better beat a bad UAB team at home. no letdowns now!
UAB 24 24
Miss St 29
Not exactly a big showing against a middling UAB team but a win after taking out Florida is all that State needed and they get it.
No. 25 Miami vs. North Carolina, 7:30 p.m. - Miami
Canes could get a test here, Butch would love to beat his old team but I'll take the Canes at home.
UNC 10 25
Miami (FL) 33
Canes flash some of the old magic, are the glory days back? Nope. not sold on Shannon. good perhaps but not Canes of old.
