October 18, 2013

Of course the Saturday I'm away at a wedding, college football was, well, college football. Week seven was a mess. But the sport is at its finest when chaos reigns.

  1. Missouri upset Georgia at home to take the lead of the SEC East.
  2. Texas buggy-whipped Oklahoma to revive their season.
  3. Utah finally won its marquee Pac-12 game by dropping Stanford at home.
  4. Penn State ground out a four-overtime thriller over Michigan.

In no other sport on the planet does the complexion of a season change so radically week to week. And we get to relive the shenanigans all over again this weekend in week eight.

A top 5 match-up between #3 Clemson and #5 Florida State this week brings us back to the ACC.

Let’s get to work!

Syracuse isn’t prepared for GT's Triple Option.

UCLA @ Stanford -5.5

Florida -3 @ Missouri
I'd like Missouri here, but losing their QB dims their chances. Florida wins tough games on the road.

USC +3 @ Notre Dame
USC is playing like a brand new team with Ed Orgeron coaching them.

Florida St. @ Clemson +3
Clemson has been on a roll since last season, and Tajh Boyd has the maturity to win a tough one at home.
