Preview/Prediction

November 20, 2008


Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma

The guns'll be blazin' in Norman on Saturday.  Everyone expects a shootout.  But not me.  Historically, Oklahoma folds when the pressure's on.  We thought the Oklahoma State-Tech game would be a shootout and it wasn't.  I could be wrong, but Tech shocks the Sooners in Norman. Final score: Texas Tech 55, Oklahoma 31.

 

Michigan vs. Ohio State

Check the records at the door for this one.  Michigan will play above and beyond in this one and may even upset the Buckeyes.  Just kidding; Michigan is terrible. Final score: Ohio State 38, Michigan 7.

 

BYU vs. Utah

It's been dubbed the Holy War by many and should be one heck of a game.  Believe it or not, BYU has an outside shot to still crack the BCS with some help.  This game could be a better shootout than Tech- Oklahoma.  BYU is bigger and more athletic; they win in a thriller. Final score: BYU 38, Utah 35.

 

Iowa vs. Minnesota

It has been a great season for Minnesota and a disappointment at the same time.  Minnesota started 7-1 but after three straight losses, they sit at 7-4.  Iowa on the other hand has had a great season, they beat Penn State and spoiled a national title run.  Iowa continues to ride that wave and wins the Floyd of Rose-dale. Final score: Iowa 21, Minnesota 14.

 

Oregon State vs. Arizona

The Beavers can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  They need just two more wins, or one win and a USC loss, to reach the Rose Bowl.  Standing in their way is Arizona, who are 4-1 at home this season.  Mike Stoops' team puts up a heck of a fight, but the beavers control their own destiny and they know it.  Final score: Oregon State 31, Arizona 21.

 

Boise State vs. Nevada

The Pistol offense can give anyone fits.  But Boise is head and shoulders better than Nevada and they know that if they win out they reach the BCS.  Don't write this one off as a blow out because I think it was last year these two went at it in one of the highest scoring games in Division one history.  Final score: Boise 31, Nevada 17.

 

Michigan State vs. Penn State

Papa Joe and the Knittny Lions control their own destiny.  They beat the Spartans and they win the Big 10 title.  The Spartans, on the other hand, need a win and an Ohio State loss to win the Big 10, other wise Ohio State wins it. 

This one is close but because it's in Happy Valley I'll give this one to Penn State.  Final score: Penn State 38, Michigan State 31.
