How the Big Games in College Football Will Go Down

We've all read the articles—USC vs. Ohio State, Georgia vs. Arizona State...big game, big game, big game.  However, the real question is, how do you think it's going to go down?

Will App St turn the football world upside down for the second year in a row with a "W" in Death Valley?  Can the Buckeyes redeem themselves after two shameful bowl showings?

USC/Ohio State: I think USC will beat Ohio State.  Pete Carroll is a big time, big game coach, and let's face it—OSU has choked against big time teams.  Plus they're playing at USC, and the Trojans have one of the best home field records in the Pac-10.

USC, 24-14

LSU/App St.: I'm torn between my love for SEC football and my wish to see App St. do it again.  However, I think App St. will leave Death Valley with a better understanding why it's called "Death Valley."

LSU, 34-3

Auburn/West Virginia: These teams are a lot alike.  Over the past few years both teams have hovered around the top of the rankings, only to come up short year after year.  WV is a seasoned spread team, while Auburn is brand new to the spread.  AU does have to travel to WV, but the Tigers have had a top 10 defense year after year.

AU, 31-28

UGA/Arizona State: Georgia is easily one of the toughest teams in the country.  Their dominant D and speedy offense have made them quite formidable.  However, UGA has shown that they begin the season very slowly over the past few seasons.  Georgia needs to be on upset alert.

Missouri/Illinois: Missouri proved in their bowl game that they are legit, shutting down Heisman runner-up Darren McFadden and pounding Arkansas something awful.  At the same time, Illinois proved they were overrated with an embarrassing showing in the Rose Bowl.  I believe Missouri starts off with a bang.

Missouri, 24-0

Well, those are the ones I've been thinking about.  Tell me what you're looking forward to and how you think it'll go down.
