#3 Oklahoma 4-0 (1-0) VS #11 Texas 4-0 (1-0) 12 PM Noon ABC
Landry Jones is going up against a Texas defense that lost 3 NFL corners to the 2011 NFL Draft. Â This Longhorn defense does have 2 safeties in their secondary though. Â Kheeston Randall is a defensive tackle who can also play the 5 technique. Â Oklahoma has one of the best pass blocking lines to protect Jones. Â Jones also has Broyles and Stillis as receiving targets to throw to.
Prediction Oklahoma 34 Texas 17
#17 Florida 4-1 (2-1) VS #1 LSU 5-0 (2-0) 3:30 PM Eastern CBS
I get the feeling that this game will be an early blowout and fail to live up to the hype.  Jeff Driskel a 5 star recruit at quarterback is making his first career start against a deadly LSU secondary in Death Valley.  This looks like a win for LSU as long as the Tigers keep Florida’s front 7 in check.
Prediction LSU 27 Florida 10
#22 Arizona State Sun Devils 4-1 (2-0) VS Utah 2-2 (0-2) 3:30 PM Eastern Root Sports or 12:30 PM Pacific FSN
I picked Stanford over Arizona State in this seasons Pac 12 Championship back in July. Â The rest of the country picked Utah to win the Pac 12 South. Â Utah is already 0-2 in PAC 12 play and one has to wonder if they are legit. Â Utah is coming off a loss to Washington last week. Â LaMichael James the Oregon back will likely miss next weeks game against Arizona State. Â If Utah can catch Arizona State napping looking ahead they got a shot. Â Right now it looks like we could see Arizona State and Stanford in the PAC 12 Championship at this rate.
Prediction Arizona State 27 Utah 24 Overtime
#15 Auburn 4-1 (2-0) VS #10 Arkansas 4-1 (0-1) 7 PM Eastern ESPN
This looks like a do or die game in the SEC. Â The winner of this game has a chance to be a spoiler in the SEC West while the loser will play for pride and a bowl bid. Â Next season Auburn and Arkansas will probably be the two favorites in the SEC West so this could give us an early look at the 2013 SEC West Champion.
Georgia 3-2 (2-1) VS Tennessee 3-1 (0-1) 7 PM Eastern ESPN 2
All offseason SEC forums of Georgia and Tennessee fans have been creating trash talk between Aaron Murray and Tyler Bray as to who the better quarterback is. Â We will find out who is better on Saturday. Â This game should also have implications on who the SEC East Favorite will be within a year from now.
Ohio State 3-2 (0-1) VS #14 Nebraska 4-1 (0-1) 8 PM Eastern ABC
Ohio State returns left tackle Mike Adams who ends his suspension. Â Among the current Buckeyes suspended Adams is the highest graded prospect. Â This game will give us a better idea of how he does against a stingy Nebraska defensive line.
