A classic showdown. I absolutely love it when two Southeastern Conference powerhouses collide.

Neither team is particularly distinguished on the defensive side of the ball, so this one should be be a high-scoring affair.

I was genuinely impressed with how polished Erik Ainge looked vs. Cal, and Tennessee's running game has been better than expected. Tebow and the Gator offense have a little more firepower on their side, though, and the game is being played down in the Swamp.

Look for this one to be a nail-biter throughout. I've got a hunch that a big play from the electric Percy Harvin will be the difference.

Prediction: Florida 38, Tennessee 31

 

Boston College v. Georgia Tech

A very intriguing matchup with possible ACC title implications.

BC has red-hot Matt Ryan under center, and one of the nation's best-kept secrets in shutdown corner DeJuan Tribble.

Georgia Tech's offense has been a scoring machine thus far this season, and running back Tashard Choice is one of the most productive backs in the country.

It's time to start giving Choice his due. Not too many people realize this guy rushed for almost 1,500 yards and 12 scores last year.

Georgia Tech's secondary hasn't really been tested this season, and they're in for a very rude awakening. Ryan and Co. are going to make one too many big plays against them, and BC will come out with a win despite Choice's best efforts.

Prediction: BC 28, Georgia Tech 21
