The saying is “On any given day, any school can beat the other school, regardless of how high or low their ranking is for that week.”
A few schools found that out fast this past Saturday, and it looks like more to come this Saturday.
The Games of the week in both the ACC and SEC are what everyone will be watching Saturday. Let’s find out what they are:
- Louisville Cardinals vs. Boston College Eagles: The Eagles just came off an upset Saturday. Can they do it again? No, not this time — Louisville by 9.
- Syracuse Orangemen vs. Clemson Tigers: The Tigers are a bit weak in the knees after the scar they suffered last Saturday — but will recover by 18.
- Florida State Seminoles vs. N.C State Wolfpack (ACC Game of the week): This should be a good game to watch; both schools are looking for a Big Bowl Bid. Seminoles on both counts get it, by 18.
- Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Duke Blue Devils: The Hokies win by a lot on this one, with 21-plus points.
- Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. North Carolina Tar Heels: Georgia Tech looks good but the team has not played anyone who could put up a good fight. They have got one on their hands this week — Tar Heels by 14.
- Alabama Crimson Tide vs. LSU Tigers (SEC Game of the week): The Tide Train is coming to Baton Rouge La., and it is not stopping until it gets to Atlanta, Georgia, for the SEC Championship Game — Alabama by 21.
- Florida Gators vs. Arkansas Razorbacks: The Gators can go to the SEC Championship if they do not get too cocky, but this could be an upset for the week — Razorbacks by 1.
- Georgia Dawgs vs. Kentucky Wildcats: It is another Dawgs and Cat Fight; Kentucky seems to have a lot of them and cannot handle any of them — Dawgs by 18.
- Texas A&M Aggies vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs: Aggies are waiting for the Tide to be de-railed so they can step up — Aggies by 10.
- Missouri Tigers vs. South Carolina Gamecocks: Big Cat with a Bird in its mouth; not a pretty sight at Columbia S.C. — Tigers by 12.
Tie Breaker: Navy Midshipmen vs. The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame (at Jacksonville Florida)
