3 Oklahoma vs 11 Texas (Neutral Site) CORRECT

There is uncertainty at every turn in the Big XII. It looks like the conference stabilized after losing Colorado(PAC-12), Nebraska(Big Ten), and Texas A&M(SEC), but now the curators at Missouri have given the school the right to seek a new conference, likely the SEC, but possibly the Big Ten. Meanwhile, this could be the last Big XII sanctioned Red River Rivalry game we see. Oklahoma has done nothing wrong, they’ve won every game, and they’ve dropped in the polls. A convincing win over the Longhorns and any potential or perceived hiccups by LSU or Alabama will return some momentum to the Sooners.

FINAL SCORE: Oklahoma 31, Texas 21

17 Florida at 1 LSU CORRECT

Poor Florida. Not only did Alabama run roughshod over you last week, but they also darn-near killed your quarterback. Now you have a young, rather untested starter going into the SEC’s version of Death Valley against the number one team in the country. That’s harsh, even by SEC standards. PoorFlorida.

FINAL SCORE: LSU 35, Florida 14

Georgia at Tennessee CORRECT

UGA started the season with consecutive losses, albeit to two of the then-top 12 teams in the nation. No other team in the FBS had such a tough start to their season, nor did any other team have to wear such ugly uniforms in week one, and I’m including Oregon and Maryland in that statement. Now the Dawgs go to Neyland Stadium, a place that is vicious on visiting teams. But Georgia has won three in a row, two of which were conference games. This will be a test for UGA, but I can see them winning. (Have I ever picked against Georgia?)

FINAL SCORE: Georgia 27, Tennessee 21

15 Auburn at 10 Arkansas CORRECT

Auburn has been all over the charts this year. They’ve dropped out of the top 25 twice, I think, and are now 15th in the polls, and it’s just week 6. The Tigers took down South Carolina last week, strengthening their own resume and turning the SEC East into a true free-for-all. Arkansas just wins, baby. This will be a close game, and if it were at Auburn I would probably pick a different outcome.

FINAL SCORE: Arkansas 28, Auburn 24

Ohio State at 14 Nebraska CORRECT

The Huskers are coming off an embarrassment of a loss to Wisconsin. Ohio State can’t seem to go more than five minutes without some kind of NCAA penalty being handed down or some player being suspended. Nebraska comes home with an opportunity to regain some momentum in the Big Ten (or is it Big Ten plus Two, or B1G…what the heck is B1G?) title race. Sorry Buckeyes, but you’ve drawn the wrong time to go to Lincoln.

FINAL SCORE: Nebraska 34, Ohio State 17
