Best Games from Each Conference

SEC: LSU @ Florida--- I was going to go with Alabama/USC but I like this matchup better. We see a very talented, yet questionably coached LSU team versus a young but talented Florida. Can LSU overcome its coaching or lackthereof and beat the Gators in the Swamp? I doubt it, but an SEC game is always purely awesome. Look for Patrick Patterson to go Rick Ross Boss on Florida. If he can do that, Jarrett Lee can control the game without being forced to do too much.

Big Ten: Michigan State @ Michigan--- This should be an amazing game. I am a big MSU fan and love the way they get things done each and every week. Who can't love Nardy too. Michigan will face the first ranked team since Notre Dame this year. The biggest problem I have with Michigan is their defense. They gave up 37 to UMASS and 35 to a good Indiana offense, but MSU has a very balanced attack that can score at any point in time. I predict that if Michigan can hold Sparty under 28 points they will be able to win the game. MSU still has some defensive troubles themselves against real teams. The game is in the Big House. I'm likin' Michigan U at the moment.

Big 12: Nebraska @ Kansas State--- If Nebraska plays the way they did against South Dakota State, they will lose. Obvious statement but it needed to be said. T-Magic can bring his bag of goodies to Bill Snyder and the Wildcats. The cats are still undefeated and have beaten quality teams like UCLA and Iowa State (fight me) while Nebraska is coming off a bye week. Thursday night game where Manhattan will be POPPIN'. Very tough game to call, but I can't go against the Pelini bros. Cornhuskers roll.

ACC: Miami @ Florida State--- Jacory Harris still has DOH moments but still has the touch to keep you moderately impressed. Christian Ponder has his heisman campaign in ICU, but things are looking somewhat stable. Beating arguably the best team in the conference in the Corals would be a great way to stay undefeated in the ACC. Greg Reid is another boss and deserves praise. I still don't like how Miami is winning while a young FSU team is learning how to win week by week. Sidenote: your white out does not work when half the stadium isn't filled. I like FSU in a tough road victory.

Edit: If Kyle Parker didn't play like a fish out of water, Miami would have lost.

Pac-10: USC @ Stanford--- Which team can rebound from a heartbreaking defeat faster? USC is out of the Top 25 while Stanford was beaten by the fastest ducks in the pond. USC's defense is still looking very shaky while the offense is being put together very well. Stanford is still a quality team but they need to prove their quality against a team like USC. The physicality of Stanford will follow suit and beat USC.

Big East: Connecticut @ Rutgers--- uhhh.. neither team is quality. Connecticut looked very good against a weak Vandy team. UCONN wins. BIG EAST RULES!!!

Mountain West: San Diego State @ BYU--- Guys, check this game out because I think BYU is on their way to losing.. again. Damn, 1-5 and the injury bug crawling around would be tough to swallow for a BYU team whose starts just did not want to align this year. Hey, this is College Football. A 11-2 team can go 1-5 too quickly.
