I had a terrible week. I went 1-4, only getting the Tennessee game correct and if Alabama hadn't blocked that field goal I would have been skunked. Adding insult to injury I picked Kansas over Oklahoma and as Katherine pointed out to me afterward I should have listened to her. You're right, Kat. The Sooners can win road games. So I regressed to a 24-16 for the year. Let's face it. If you're in Tennessee and a football fan you're not having a good year. Nevertheless...
Tennessee 24, South Carolina 20--Steve Superior comes to Knoxville and the Gamecocks are ranked and Tennessee isn't. I think this is a pivotal game for the Vols because if they win this one it's possible that they could win out the rest of the season with games against Memphis, Mississippi, Kentucky and Vanderbilt. That would make them bowl eligible. But it starts with SC. They have played ranked teams well this year. We shall see.
Texas 30, Oklahoma St 17--Just too much Longhorns for State in this one.
Oregon 30, USC 27--It sounds a bit odd but I think USC ranked number four is actually the underdog in this one against Oregon who is ranked tenth. But that makes them dangerous and therefore more apt to win. I expect the Ducks to be fired up though and pull this one out. But barely.
Oklahoma 37, Kansas St 17--I've learned my lesson. Don't bet against the Sooners.
West Virginia 30, South Florida 21--South Florida plays the Mountaineers close for a half but they wear down and WVU pulls away.
