Now, it's time to move on to Week 10 of the 2008 College Football season.

Key Games in Week 10:

Florida (7-0) vs. Georgia (7-1) (in Jacksonville, Florida)

Obviously, this SEC showdown is the game of the week, in Week 10. In fact, this SEC matchup features two teams, who are each ranked in the Top 3... as the #3 Georgia Bulldogs and the #1 Florida Gators face off, in Jacksonville, Florida.

It also seems to basically be a forgone conclusion that the Florida Gators will head into this showdown, with an UNDEFEATED record.

Seriously, the Florida Gators really do NOT have an excuse, NOT to have a 7-0 record, at this point in the season. I mean, the Gators have had a VERY EASY schedule... and TWO bye weeks, during the first nine weeks of the 2008 College Football season.

On the other hand, the Georgia Bulldogs head into this showdown with a 7-1 record. However, the Bulldogs also come into this game beaten up... after facing a brutal schedule, during the first nine weeks of the season.

Well, it is pretty obvious that the Florida Gators will be MUCH fresher and well rested that Georgia Bulldogs... heading into this Week 10 showdown. When you combine that with the fact that the Florida Gators are looking for revenge... I smell a victory for the Florida Gators.

Winner: Florida

Wisconsin (7-1) @ Michigan State (8-1)

This Big Ten matchup should really be an interesting showdown... as the #16 Wisconsin Badgers travel to East Lansing, to take on the #17 Michigan State Spartans.

Wow, these two teams have SO MANY similarities! This probably explains why the Badgers and the Spartans are ranked next to each other.

Both of these Big Ten teams have one loss on the season. In fact, each team's only loss came AT HOME, to the Ohio State Buckeyes.

What's more is that both of these teams defeated the Michigan Wolverines, on the road, in Ann Arbor.

These two teams are so similar to each other... that even I, have a tough time picking this game. Well, I guess that I have to give the advantage to the Michigan State Spartans, simply based on the fact that the Spartans have the home field advantage.

Moreover, the Michigan State Spartans improve to 9-1 on the season... and now have sole possession of second place, in the Big Ten, with this win.

Winner: Michigan State

Hawaii (0-8) @ Utah State (2-6)

What a difference ONE season makes! Last season, it was the Utah State Aggies, who made a run at a WINLESS season.

In fact, Utah State started the 2007 College Football season with an 0-10 recond... and became the PENULTIMATE remaining WINLESS team, in the FBS(to Florida International, who started the 2007 season with an 0-11 record).

This season, it is the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors who are making a run at the WINESS season. In fact, the Rainbow Warriors come into this game as the ONLY remaining WINLESS team in the FBS, with an 0-8 record.

On October 7th last season, the Rainbow Warriors, with Heisman finalist Colt Brennan, STRUGGLED against a WINLESS Utah State Aggies team, AT HOME.

In fact, Hawaii NEARLY BLEW a 25-point lead, by giving up TWO scores... in the final six minutes in the game, before finally holding of the Utah State Aggies, by the final score of 52-37.

Now that Hawaii is without Brennan, and since this game will be played AT Utah State... I HIGHLY DOUBT that Hawaii will this game. In fact, I expect the Utah State Aggies to win this game, by AT LEAST TWO touchdowns.

The post-Colt Brennan era has gotten off to a very bad start as the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors remain as the ONLY WINLESS team, in the FBS, and fall to 0-9 on the 2008 season.

On the other hand, the Utah State Aggies snap a 4-game losing streak, and improve to 3-6 on the season.

Winner: Utah State
