Syracuse over Pitt at the carrier dome. I hate that this will happen but I believe this is a lock.
Narduzzi and Pitt definitely scare me more than anyone left on our schedule minus Stanford. 5-1 with their only loss coming from a 57 yard field goal as time expired against an undefeated Iowa team... however, they have survived a few close ones so you may be right Bodi.

I believe USC is giving 3.5. That would make Utah the underdog and picking Utah would be the upset pick. I'll take Utah as the upset. I will also take Indiana over Sparty.
That said, this is one of the reasons why college football needs Notre Dame. We generally play competitive games and for the most part, a Notre Dame game is going to have some intrigue. An overrated ATM versus overrated Ole Miss is the best game of the week and Ohio State vs. Rutgers is the Saturday night game - unreal.
I see Indiana giving MSU everything it can handle. MSU is a Mash unit on the O-line and more importantly in the secondary. I see Indiana putting up a bushel of points on MSU. The only question is can MSU score in the high 30s or low 40s which I think they will need to win this game. It's a huge trap game coming before the bye and right off the emotional win.
Utah uses that line for motivation and makes a statement against UOJ. Trojans cant stop Utes running game.
USC over Utah is too safe. Need to go out on a limb. Illinois over Wisconsin down in Champaign. Battle of the defenses in this one. Low scoring. I am 0-4 on these upset specials this season. "You may not get to heaven, you'll go to Champaign, Illinois". ......Old 97's.
echo the same!! I think Miami beats Clemson because they have the athletes to match up, Watson is a horrible passer and won't be able to run on them and a MUST win to save Golden's job! Also, USC wins big over Utah by 14+ points!! PRAY GT over Felony State!!
honestly, I was not all that impressed w/ Clemson - I do like Dabo - he's great for College Football and the whole death valley deal is pretty cool, etc. But, I just think if you stuff the run and contain the QB on his running - that a team will have a great chance to beat Clemson. Dont think the QB can beat you w/ the pass. I actually want Clemson to lose one or two games - their first loss very well could be this weekend vs. Miami.

Deshaun Watson threw for 420 yards and 3 Tds against one of the better Defenses in the country last week when Clemson beat Boston College 34 to 17.
Golson from Florida State could only manage 119 yards passing with 1 td against Boston College.
Watson is back and on fire !!
I predict Clemson will beat Miami 41 to 14.
Bodi, did not know that about Deshaun. You may be right. Maimi has not won many big games w/ Golden as their coach. They usually lay an egg.
Wagner over BYU!
why in heck is BYU playing Wagner? does Wagner even have a football team? Where do they play in the Shop Rite parking lot?
