Keep track of their record throughout the year for bragging rights.

This week’s Cyclone Celebrities are: R.J. Sumrall, Nick Leaders, Bill Marsau, and Brent Curvey.

More from Iowa State Cyclones

R.J. Sumrall

Washington State @ Stanford

Stanford: They are a better team than last week and we will see it this week.

Texas vs. Oklahoma

Oklahoma: Texas is not ready for the big time ball they once had.

Georgia @ Missouri

Georgia: It will be a fun game to watch, but I see G taking the win.

Northwestern @ Minnesota

Northwestern: Coach Pat Fitzgerald is on the hot seat and Northwestern is going to show why the coach should stay.

Auburn @ Mississippi State

Auburn: I flipped a quarter and it said Auburn.

TCU @ Baylor

Baylor: This will be a high scoring game, but Baylor will be undefeated this season.

Oregon @ UCLA

Oregon: They are bouncing back from their loss.

LSU @ Florida

LSU: They got spanked last game, but they are better than Florida.

Ole Miss @ Texas A&M

Ole Miss: I just don’t see T-A&M beating any Miss schools beside Southern Miss.

Washington State @ Stanford

Stanford– They will bounce back against a weak Washington State team.

Texas vs. Oklahoma

Oklahoma– Again, looking to bounce back after a tough loss and Texas is a shell of a team right now.

Georgia @ Missouri

Georgia– They will keep on rolling with Gurley and company.

Northwestern @ Minnesota

Minnesota– They have a couple big wins and are playing with confidence right now.

Auburn @ Mississippi State

Auburn– Looks to be the class of the SEC and will have their hands full, but will win late.

TCU @ Baylor

Baylor– They actually play good defense and their offense is near the top of the country.

Oregon @ UCLA

I like Oregon to win a really good game in LA. Both are strong teams.

Toledo @ Iowa State

Iowa State– They have to win this week and get some momentum building in order to salvage the season.

LSU @ Florida

Florida– Both teams are playing poorly, so I went with the home team.

Ole Miss @ Texas A&M

Ole Miss – If Bo Wallace shows up, Ole Miss will roll.

Washington State & Stanford

Stanford – Stanford’s defense will shut down the high-powered offense of Washington State.

 

Texas vs. Oklahoma

Oklahoma – Red River Rivalry. Oklahoma will come out strong and focused after getting beat by the Horned Frogs last week.

 

Georgia @ Missouri

Georgia – Missouri has been an up and down team and it’s hard to know which Tigers team is going to show up. Even without Gurley, Georgia will pull off the win.

 

Northwestern @ Minnesota

Minnesota – Minnesota has shown that they are a very strong, consistent team. They’ll win this one in a close game.

 

Auburn @ Mississippi State

Auburn – The Bulldogs will be brought back down to Earth by a strong Auburn team.

TCU @ Baylor

Baylor – Game of the week. This one should be an exciting one to watch, but Baylor will wear them down in the end.

Oregon @ UCLA

Oregon – This should be a high scoring game, but Oregon will put up more points.

Toledo @ Iowa State:

Iowa State – The Cyclones are finally going to establish a little bit of a running game and will pull out a much needed home victory.

LSU @ Florida

Florida – Florida will win because they’re at home in the Swamp. Their defense will contain the LSU offense.

Ole Miss @ Texas A&M

Texas A&M – The Rebels will make this a close one, but Kenny Hill will end up being the star of this game and will lead the Aggies to a well-fought win.

Washington State @ Stanford

Stanford– I can’t see them losing back to back weeks. Defense will remain on display.

 

Texas vs. Oklahoma

OU– They won’t lose twice.

 

Georgia @ Missouri

Mizzou– Their defense wins this one.

 

Northwestern @ Minnesota

Northwestern– Fitzgerald has that team rolling.

 

Auburn @ Mississippi State

Miss State– They have got the hot hand right now. Expecting the upset.

TCU @ Baylor

Baylor– Still playing too well. Bryce Petty controls game.

Oregon @ UCLA

Oregon– Won’t lose two weeks in a row.

Toledo @ Iowa State

Iowa State– Clones bounce back and win at home.

LSU @ Florida

LSU– Les Miles will get the team fired up.

Ole Miss @ Texas A&M

A&M – Aggies win at home in a comeback game.
