Football Future-see 2011: Week Two

Record

Week One: 5-2

Week Two: 3-2

OVERALL: 8-4

Below is our slate of Week Two games.

Oregon State at 8 Wisconsin CORRECT
The Badgers opened the season with a 51-17 throttling of a bad UNLV team. Now the get the Beavers of Oregon State at Camp Randall Stadium. Wisconsin has a pretty good QB, if you've never seen him play. Oregon State is coming off an overtime loss to Sacramento State of the Big Sky Conference. Doesn't look good.
FINAL SCORE: Wisconsin 45, Oregon State 13

16 Mississippi State at Auburn INCORRECT
Auburn narrowly snuck out a victory over Utah State while Mississippi State ran roughshod over Memphis. This will be the kickoff of SEC conference play, and I'm thinking that Auburn might actually lose this one. These Bulldogs are pretty tough.
FINAL SCORE: Miss. State 28, Auburn 17

12 South Carolina at Georgia INCORRECT
The Dawgs are coming off a loss that some say was embarrassing and others say was expected, considering they were playing a top 5 team in Boise State. South Carolina had a hard time for one half against East Carolina (which is not a real state). This game is between the hedges, and UGA/USC is always a hard fought game. For several years it was a given that the winner of this game would play in a New Years Day bowl. But with the East as down as it is, the winner of the game has an inside track to the SEC Title Game.
FINAL SCORE: Georgia 24, South Carolina 21

3 Alabama at 23 Penn State CORRECT
The Nittany Lions will get to spend a single week in the top 25 before leaving again. Alabama has an unsolidified QB situation, but their defense is one of the best in the nation. I don't really see Penn State putting up a lot of points.
FINAL SCORE: Alabama 31, Penn State 17

Notre Dame at Michigan CORRECT
Throwback uniforms. The first night game at the big house. Two programs steeped in tradition. Notre Dame is coming off a loss, that we predicted, while Michigan stomped little sister Western Michigan last week. Notre Dame, by all rights, should be the better team, but this feels like a stepping stone for Brady Hoke's Wolverines, while it feels like another must-win for the Fighting Irish. Must wins are usually tough on college kids.
FINAL SCORE: Michigan 27, Notre Dame 23
