College Football Predictions 10/30

Last week we the nation saw Cam Newtons Heisman touchdown run but can he beat an Ole Miss team that is starting to hit there stride and avoid for the fourth straight week the number 1 team in the nation losing on the road? Can the Trojans of USC switch roles and play spoiler to Oregon and knock the ducks out of the championship picture? The race for the SEC East crown is on as Florida plays Georgia and South Carolina takes on a struggling Volunteer team. Also in Big 12 action Missouri hits the road after an emotional win over Oklahoma to take on Nebraska.

Game of the Week: Florida vs Georgia in Jacksonville, Florida. This has not been much of a rivalry of late as Florida has won 17 of the last 20 against Georgia. The Gators and the Bulldogs both seasons have turned upside down the past three weeks as Florida has lost to Missississppi State, LSU, and Alabama while Georgia has crushed its competition Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Kentucky. If both win out they could win the east but Georgia will need South Carolina to lose two more conference games while if Florida wins out they will win the east. The key match-up in a game like this will be quarterback play. John Brantley for Florida has not had the season he has hoped for in replacing Tim Tebow thus far. The offense has looked lack luster to say the least especially after only scoring 10 points against Mississippi State. He will need to utilize his trackstars Chris Rainy and Jeff Demps on swing passes and the deep balls to have a good day. While at Georgia, their quarterback Aaron Murry needs to play stellar in order for the Bulldogs to win. If he stays composed and does not let the big stage get into his head then he should be fine and o yeah he might want to get the ball to A.J. Green a couple of times.

Prediction: Florida had a bye week, tweaked the offense, has more rested players than Georgia...Gators 31 Georgia 21

Other games:

Kentucky vs Missississippi State- The Bulldogs are in the top 25 for the first in a while, dont look now but i think Dan Mullen might be on the verge of building something...MSU 21 Kentucky 20

South Carolina vs Tennessee- South Carolina should have no trouble passing the ball or running...USC 41 Tennessee 14

Auburn vs Ole Miss- Heisman hopeful, most talked about team, every expert is picking Ole Miss to upset Auburn, Gene fires up the troops....Auburn 35 Ole Miss 20

Arkansas vs Vanderbilt- Ryan Mallet is going to have a monster day against the weak Commodore secondary...Ark 42 Van 14

Game of the Week: Wake Forest against Maryland. Now you may wonder why this could possibly be the GOTW but after Thursday Nights game between the Florida State and North Carolina State this was the last one left that seemed intriguing. If Maryland is able to win this game it would put them at 3-1 in the conference and them looking for a bowl bid as they would have six wins. But they still have their toughest part of the schedule coming up as they play Florida State and Miami (FL). Wake Forest has seen their winning ways diminsh over the past couple of years slowly. This year they are bringing in a 2-5 recod with a 1-3 league record. If they could win this game they have a great chance for a bowl bid.

Prediciton: Maryland is too strong for Wake this year and should win big...Mary 31 Wake 10

Other Games:

Navy vs Duke: Navy keeps momentum going and executes the option to perfection...Duke 14 Navy 31

Clemson vs Boston College- Clemson defense is too strong for the Eagle offense...Clemson 38 Boston College 20

Miami vs Virginia...Be patient Virginia fans your time is coming...Miami 41 Virginia 21

North Carolina vs William and Mary...Close until kickoff...UNC 42 W&M 10

Game of the Week: Keeping this one close to home. South Alabama host their toughest home competition Georgia State. South Alabama got an impressive win over a very talented UC Davis squad in California. South Alabama is playing their third big game in a row and emotions should really be high in this one. Georgia State's defense has had trouble stopping the run this year and South loves to run the football. With South again without Brandon Ross look for Kendall Houston to have a monstrous day and Santuan McGee having a solid back-up day. It ticked off Jaguars fans, players, and coaches when Georgia State got their football program on the front of ESPN magazine. I would look for South to come out and dominate.

Predicition- South's Play Action passing game will prove to be the difference and South remains undefeated for the season and for all-time...South 35 GA State 7

Other games

FIU vs FAU- The golden panthers defense will be the difference...FIU 28 FAU 14

Louisiana Monroe 12

Other big games:
