The Maroons improved last week after the ghastly season opening loss. The Tigers have a stellar defense and depth. Still, Croom could be the spoiler and this game could have upset written all over it for Auburn.
Baby's Loser: Miss. St.
4) Arkansas @ Texas
One of the historic rivalries of the old Southwest Conference, the Razorbacks vs. the Longhorns (see picture above from the 1969 "Game of the Century"). In the seven seasons from 1963 to '69 these two schools won three national titles.
Baby's Loser: Arkansas, in a tight, tense, game.
5) California @ Maryland
Could the ACC be served up as another victim for the PAC-10? The Bears have been awesome so far but, Coach Ralph Friedgen will have a better effort planned for his Terps than they showed last week. The Terrapins will put up a good fight however, in the end...
Baby's Loser: Maryland
6) Hawaii @ Oregon State
After watching the Warriors come back in the second half last week, it is tempting to go against Mike Riley's Beavers. Let's take the coach that played for Bear Bryant at home against the WAC opponent.
Baby's Loser: Hawaii in a tossup.
7) Oklahoma @ Washington
Ty Willingham's Huskies were unfortunately robbed of a certain overtime game with Brigham Young last week by a bad call. Not this week.
Baby's Loser: Washington
GAME OF THE WEEK
8) Ohio State @ Southern California
Everyone has been waiting for this game to kick off since it was announced. In this particular match we have the No. 1 and No. 3 teams of the 11 Best 11s in a titanic struggle on national television this Saturday night.
The Trojans are at home. They have been off for a week to prepare since destroying Virginia, and the Buckeyes have looked worse from one week to the next. The Trojans are so heavily favored you wonder why anyone would watch this game. Sometimes when everything looks to go one way it goes another.
Baby's Loser: Southern California.
