MICHIGAN at MICHIGAN STATE Ch. 7 Noon LINE: Michigan -4.
ANGLE: You can hear Michigan fans now: “Oh no, not another big game against the those intellectually inferior, financially strapped Spartans.”
EYES ON: Michigan WR/PR Steve Breaston; MSU QB Jeff Smoker. Prediction: Michigan 31, Michigan St. 30.
FLA. STATE at NOTRE DAME Ch. 4 2:30 p.m. LINE: FSU -11 1/2.
ANGLE: You can hear FSU fans now: “Oh no, not another game in which the Seminoles are heavy favorites and Bobby Bowden overcoaches.” Bowden’s Boys are vastly superior to Notre Dame, but the Irish, like Miami, are in the Seminoles’ head.
EYES ON: FSU DT Darnell Dockett; ND RB Julius Jones.Prediction: FSU 31, Notre Dame 21.
GEORGIA vs. FLORIDA Ch. 2 3:30 p.m. LINE: Georgia -2 1/2.
ANGLE: You can hear Georgia fans now: “Oh no, not another game in which the Dawgs are clearly dominant but Gators will get lucky, somehow, someway.” Florida is team to be feared, now that Zooklander has settled on QB C.J. Leak. But Leak’s hubris will get him into trouble against fast and furious Georgia defense. Dawgs’ only loss last season was to Florida.
EYES ON: Georgia DE David Pollack; Florida OLB Channing Crowder. Prediction: Georgia 23, Florida 7.
OKLAHOMA ST. at OKLAHOMA Ch. 7 3:30 p.m. LINE: Oklahoma -16.
ANGLE: It’s Cowboys’ explosive offense vs. Sooners suffocating defense. Always go with defense and always take Bob Stoops in a big game.
EYES ON: Oklahoma St. WR Rashaun Woods; Oklahoma CB Derrick Strait. Prediction: Oklahoma 41, OSU 13.
MIAMI at VIRGINIA TECH ESPN 7:45 p.m. LINE: Miami -3 1/2.
ANGLE: When Tech got bullied at West Virginia last week, it opened up BCS to almost every other elite I-A team with one loss. Tech will run the ball down ‘Canes’ throat.
EYES ON: Miami FS Sean Taylor; Virginia Tech RB Kevin Jones. Prediction: Virginia Tech 30, Miami 24.
Last week, 3-2: Overall, 21-24.
