Football Future-see Week 10

(15) Florida State at Georgia Tech
The ACC battle of the week pits the mighty Seminoles against the humbled Yellow Jackets. Tech faltered last week against Virginia, leaving them in a struggle for ACC supremacy. They still have one of the best defenses in the conference. Florida State has the ACC’s best offense. All of which means this game should be interesting at least. But we believe in the old adage that defense wins championships.
Final Score: Georgia Tech 24, Florida State 21

(1) Texas at (7) Texas Tech

The Big XII showdown of the week rocks two of the best QBs in the nation. Texas QB Colt McCoy has a completion percentage over 80. Texas Tech’s Graham Harrell is also high on the completion percentage, and he has one of the best WRs on his team in Michael Crabtree. The game’s in Lubbock, home of the Red Raiders, which will make a difference. The Right Wing is calling for the upset.
Final Score: Texas Tech 37, Texas 35

(8)Florida at (6) Georgia (in Jacksonville
)
The SEC war of the week comes from Jacksonville, Florida. The Bulldogs of Georgia take on the Gators of Florida in the de facto SEC East championship game. The winner here will most likely play Alabama or LSU for the SEC Title. Florida is loaded offensively, but so is Georgia. Both teams are hitting their stride now, as Georgia just hung 52 on LSU and Florida is coming off a 63-5 beating of Kentucky. Quarterback play will be key in this match-up. Florida got surprised by Ole Miss, and Georgia’s defense is better than Ole Miss.
Final Score: Georgia 34, Florida 28

Washington at (5) USC

Our PAC-10 match-up looks to be a laugher. Washington is giving up points by the gross, and USC is a scary-good offense. Washington coach Ty Willingham announced that he is stepping down at season’s end, but that means nothing to the Trojans. USC might be able to break 100 points in this game.
Final Score: USC 72, Washington 10.

Northwestern at (17) Minnesota

The Big Ten comes in with a somewhat intriguing game. Minnesota went 1-11 last year, and this year they are already bowl eligible. Northwestern started out with five straight wins, and has since fallen off. But they’re looking to rebound in spectacular fashion, and upsetting a top 20 team is just what the doctor ordered.
Final Score: Northwestern 20, Minnesota 17
