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.
Bill Marsau

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.

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.
