Nebraska vs. Missouri:

Bo has tried to downplay the revenge factor in this game, but the fact is Nebraska is looking to atone for the beatdown Missouri put on them in Lincoln last year.  This game will be close as both of these teams are very good. 

Especially impressive is Missouri, having lost more talent than anyone in the nation, and yet being as good as they have been this year.  However I think Nebraska is back and they take this one. 

Final score: Nebraska 24, Missouri: 14

 

LSU vs. Florida:

This is a big one in the SEC.  LSU has been better than expected this year and they have a shot in this one, espcially if Tebow can't go.  However Jesse Palmer said it best on ESPN that without Tebow this goes from being last year's national title offense to the National title offense Florida had with Chris Leak at quarterback. 

LSU just doesn't have enough in the tank to hang with Florida, but they keep it close. 

Final score: Florida 35, LSU 24

 

Alabama vs. Ole Miss:

Don't overlook this game.  Ole Miss is a very good team that just had a bad day against a good South Carolina team.  I don't really understand why they dropped so far.  This should be a great game to watch, and I think Ole Miss pulls off the upset. 

Final score: Ole Miss: 24, Bama: 21

 

Michigan vs. Iowa:

At 5-0 Iowa is another surprise this year and they have a possibility of winning the Big 10 if they can get by Penn State and Ohio State.  Michigan isn't out of it either, but a loss Saturday would all but end Michigan's Rose Bowl hopes, and for Iowa already at number 12 dare I say National Title? (Prolly not)

Final score: Iowa: 24, Michigan: 17 

 

Oklahoma vs. Baylor:

I was pretty upset when OU lost to Miami.  Not because I'm and Oklahoma fan, but because I absolutely hate Miami. 

Aside from that Oklahoma is in danger of dropping out of the top 25 if they lose to Baylor, and don't overlook the Bears.  Even without Robert Griffin they are putting up points. 

It's a must win for OU to even keep BCS hopes alive.

Final score: Oklahoma: 31, Baylor 17

Texas vs. Colorado:

Well so much for winning 10 games this year.  I think Coach Hawkins better start searching for another job because Colorado may not even make a bowl this year. 

Texas wins in a rout. 

Final score: Texas: 41, Colorado: 7
