Meatchicken 35, Northwestern 17
Beating them is way more fun when they are coming in riding high. Northwestern is probably the biggest disappointment in the Big However Many West. Meat has been improving their passing attack each week, but I do not think they will need it. The Battle for the Inaugural George Jewett trophy should be over quick.
Pittsburgh 27, ClemSIN 21
Well, Clemson at least has a defense, so they cannot be counted out of any game. Still, that offense is bad. How did this happen, the way they recruit? They were a monumentally bad kicker away from overtime against the Cuse.
the 35, Indiana 10
The IU D looked much better Saturday than I thought it would be. Granted, our O Line is our weak point, but they lived in our backfield all game. Offensively, though, they do not have much. Not sure if Pennix is going to be available, but I do think the has put most of its defensive issues behind them, and their offense, specifically their line, is stronger than anything Indiana has faced to date.
the Pennsylvania State University 27, Illinois 3
I do not know if Clifford will be healthy this week, but if I were PSU, and I had any issues with his health, I would sit him. Illinois is awful. If you cannot beat them with your defense and your second string quarterback, you are in trouble.
Iowa State 24, Oklahoma State 20
Okie State has snuck up the rankings. Sure, part of that may be that Texas continues to be what they were under Herman, no where near as good on the field as they should be, but Okie State is playing good defense. I do not think they will go though the year unbeaten. Hell, I don't think they make it to Bedlam unbeaten.
Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie 27, University of Southern California 20
I do not think OLofPT is all that, but they should be able to handle the imploding wreck of a team USC has become. I do not envy Vrabel the task he is going to have rebuilding the program.
Alabama 45, Tennessee 21
There are not enough range balls in the world to make a difference here. Besides, it would be a long throw, the game is in Tusks Are Loosa. Hooray for Captain Spaulding, the African Explorer. Did someone call me Schnorrer? Hooray hooray hooray. Sorry. Anyway, I think Alabama still has some defensive liabilities.
