3 Alabama crimson tide at 20 old miss-Saturday 3:30 est



Bama has gone 16-2 during the past 18 games with the rebels. Although the past four games have all been bama wins, the Rebels have played Bama very tough of late with all four games being decided by three points. Keep in mind this is LSU’s best defensive team during that run. The Crimson Tide come into the game with the 2nd best defense in the nation, allowing 222 yards per game, and the tides rushing attack alone averages more than the stingy defense is giving up with 228 yards per game. Bamas stud WR Julio Jones has yet to really get it all together this season but the threat always remains and the passing attack is among the top in the nation. There is no question that Julio will be a stud at the next level, and it’s only a matter of time before he explodes. I’m still not sold on Jevean Snead who coughed up 3 picks to Vanderbilt last week and I’m going to take Bama in a close one.



Michigan wolverines at 12 iowa hawkeyes- Saturday 8:00 est



Iowa is off to there best start in 14 years, they have not gone 7-0 since 1985 and they have gone 9-0 dating back to last year. There is no question that the Hawkeyes have an amazing streak going. Iowa has yet to allow a rushing touchdown in 33 consecutive quarters, dating back to almost the middle of last season. However, they have lost 6-7 to the Wolverines. With all this said, I’m going with Michigan in the huge upset because of one man. QB Tate Forcier who is boasting an impressive (142.69 QB rating). I’m on the bandwagon and feel like this kid has the makeup and ability to be a huge star at the next level. Despite the Wolverines terrible defense which is close to last in every category in the division I see Michigan squeaking out another close win.



1 Florida Gators at 4 LSU tigers- 8:00 est



The Tigers have won an impressive 32 consecutive night games at home and they will be looking to end the gators 14 game winning streak on Saturday. The gators may or may not have QB Tim Tebow, who is third in the nation in passer rating (170.3), has 6 tds through the air and 5 on the ground. If tebow can’t make it they do have a Gatorade high school player of the year to replace him. Enter, John Brantley. The kid is an elite talent with a big gun. He could have gone to any school he wanted and if the Gators need to replace Tim, they have a more than serviceable piece to plug in. Brantley has 4 touchdowns and 0 picks in limited action and some even feel as though he will be a better collegiate player than superman Tebow. The winner of this game has gone on to capture the last three BCS championships and this may the case again this year. The Gators are the champs and they will take this one.
