Tyson Smith: 

Ohio State @ Minnesota

Ohio St. has better athletes, too explosive for Minnesota.

Clemson @ Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech at home runs wild in this one.

South Carolina @ Florida

Spurrier (South Carolina) owns the Gators.

Mississippi State @ Alabama

Alabama has been playing well; Mississippi has not. Roll Tide.

Nebraska @ Wisconsin

Wisconsin in a shootout.

Utah @ Stanford

Stanford slows down the Utes’ run game.

Auburn @ Georgia

Auburn edges out Georgia. Should not lose back to back games.

Florida State @ Miami (FL)

FSU. Miami has no offense other than Duke Johnson.

LSU @ Arkansas

LSU wins, probably because of some trick plays and special teams.
