College football predictions: Week 8 Cyclones celebrity pigskin pick'em

We thought we’d have a little fun here at Clones Confidential and have former Cyclones face off against each other, testing their knowledge of the current landscape of college football by picking the week’s highest profile marque match-ups. Keep track of their record throughout the year for bragging rights.

Baylor @ West Virginia

Baylor: They will be in the NCAA tournament. Undefeated, but I’m not saying national champ yet.

Iowa @ Maryland

Iowa: As much as it hurts to vote for Iowa, I just don’t think MD will be able to win.

Texas A&M @ Alabama

Alabama: This will be a very close game, but T-A&M will still be hurt from losing to 2 MS teams. I’m not very confident in my decision.

Georgia @ Arkansas

Georgia: Even though they lost RB Todd Gurley, they still have a better team than Arkansas.

Oklahoma State @ TCU

TCU: Second best team in Big 12. OSU will give them a run early in the game, but I see no loses for TCU for the rest of the season.

Notre Dame @ Florida State

FSU: I don’t think FSU is as good as they were last year, but I don’t think ND should be ranked as high as they are because they aren’t that good.

Stanford @ Arizona State

Arizona State: I’m going with my gut. This choice is giving me anxiety.

Baylor @ West Virginia

Baylor – The Bears have a renewed sense of confidence after almost getting beat by TCU. Their defense will struggle a bit and West Virginia will put up some points.

Iowa @ Maryland

Iowa – This will be a tough win for the Hawkeyes, but I think their run game will wear MD down in the second half.

Texas A&M @ Alabama

Alabama – QB Kenny Hill will bring some great life to the game, but the Crimson Tide defense will reign supreme in this home game for them.

Georgia @ Arkansas

Georgia – The Fighting UGGAs look pretty strong right now after their beatdown of the Missouri Tigers on the road. They will keep up their winning ways against the Razorbacks. This game features two of the best running attacks in the country. Should be a pretty boring game.

Oklahoma State @ TCU

TCU – I think this has the potential to be another high scoring game. The advantage goes to the home team here. They also have the better defense.

Notre Dame @ Florida State

Notre Dame – I think Everett Golson has a great game and the Fighting Irish pull this one out in a close game. FSU is dealing with distractions this week.

Iowa State @ Texas

Texas – I think the Clones have a real shot at the upset, but I think the Longhorn defense will leave ISU throwing the ball too much and that means the defense will be on the field too much. I think the Longhorns will wear us down.

Stanford @ Arizona State

Arizona State – These are two really good teams. Advantage goes to the home team in this one.

Baylor @ West Virginia

Baylor -Tthey have an unstoppable offense and WVU is no match.

Iowa @ Maryland

Maryland – Iowa has been playing well but going to Maryland is going to be a challenge.

Texas A&M @ Alabama

Alabama– They still have a shot at the playoffs, and Texas A&M is scuffling.

Georgia @ Arkansas

Georgia– They found Gurley’s replacement and didn’t miss a beat.

Oklahoma State @ TCU

TCU – They are surprisingly good on offense and defense this year and have a home game against a pretty good Oklahoma State team. Toss up, but home team wins.

Notre Dame @ Florida State

Notre Dame– Both teams haven’t looked great recently, but with all of the distractions in Tallahassee I am going with Notre Dame.

Iowa State @ Texas

Texas – We won last week, but barely held on against Toledo. Texas isn’t a great team, but has more talent than Toledo.

Stanford @ Arizona State

Arizona State– The Pac 12 seems to be a crapshoot any week and Arizona State has some confidence, so I will go with the home team.
