Oklahoma wants to kick the crap out of Oklahoma State so bad, especially after the last two years. I don't think Hybl understood the rivalry, and he lost twice for it. Oklahoma State held Texas A&M to 10 points, but that's like shutting out Baylor; a bunch of high-schoolers should be able to do that. Oklahoma by 30+.

Miami actually looked like a ranked team against Temple two weeks ago, much to my surprise. Virginia Tech did not look like a ranked team against West Virginia Wednesday night. Think Beamer lets his boys go out with their heads up their asses two games in a row? Think again. This one isn't a finesse game, this is a street fight. More injuries + penalties than points. Least turnovers wins.

Michigan-Michigan State is always a game worth seeing. Michigan State by 4.

Washington State @ Southern Cal. Winner plays in the Rose Bowl while dreaming of what might have been in the Sugar Bowl. Too close to call.

Nebraska @ Texas. The term "complete disrespect" comes to mind as Nebraska makes the Arkansas loss look like a win. Sure Texas HAD the #1 pass defense for a while, but Nebraska doesn't pass. Nebraska by 20+.

Georgia is overrated, Florida can't finish the game. If this didn't have a chance to throw the SEC East into complete disarray, I wouldn't even bother with it. A Florida win over Georgia puts both of them in a three-way tie with Tennessee at 4-2 in the conference and each 1-1 against the other two. If they all finish at 6-2, the tie-breaker is A CONFERENCE CALL VOTE BETWEEN THE EIGHT ATHLETIC DIRECTORS NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED (ie. not including Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, or the SEC West Champion).

Don't look at me like that, I'm not shitting you. That's how they would resolve this 3-way tie. It's been waiting 12 years to happen, and it might just do that this time. See for yourself: http://www.secsports.com/index.php?w..._channel_id=40

The SEC Doomsday Scenario:

Florida beats Georgia on November 1
Georgia finishes the season beating Auburn and Kentucky
Florida finishes the season beating Vanderbilt and South Carolina
Tennessee finishes the season beating Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky.

Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee are all then 6-2 in conference, 1-1 in head-to-head (Tiebreaker #1), 4-1 in the East division (Tiebreaker #2), this is for first place (Tiebreaker #3), 2-1 against the West (Tiebreaker #4, redundant to #2 unless a game is cancelled), 0-0 against common West division foes (Tiebreaker #5, almost impossible to be anything other than 0-0 due to the schedule rotation), and 0-0 against any common SEC West foe (Tiebreaker #6, almost impossible for the same reason as #5).

Tiebreaker #7: Vote of the Athletics Directors whose institution is not involved in the tie.

This will be one VERY interesting Saturday.
