_______________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

Florida vs. #1 Georgia (Anything can happen in this game, but Billy Napier's Gator Nation not up to the task against UGGA in 2022... and DON"T call it World's Largest Cocktail Party ANYMORE!!!)

Wake Forest at Louisville (Cards are quietly above .500 and only a 3.5 home dawg at present.... HHHMMMMMMM???)

#14 Utah at Washington State (Utes sit in good shape for PAC 12 title, but must be on upset alert in Wazzu as they continue to celebrate that W over USC)

#15 Mississippi at Texas A&M (Joey Freshwater laid an egg in Baton Rouge last weekend. ONLY a 2 point fav against Jimbo's sub-.500 NIL All-Stars in College Station)

Oklahoma at Iowa State (Boomer Sooner and Cyclones trying to find bowl eligibility any way possible)

 ___________________________________________

 ALMOST made the cut...

#24 Mississippi State at #6 Alabama (Pirate Mike and Will Rodgers COULD pull this one off after seeing Vols throw all over Bama secondary. HOWEVER, Tide will be out of CFP picture with an L. Who is going to pick against Saban after a rare defeat?)

Minnesota at #16 Penn State (Wolverines exposes PSU in a major way last weekend. Nittany Lions should get back on track against recently struggling Gophers. but PJ Fleck will make a game of it)

Marshall at James Madison (How are the Thundering Heard 3-3 after beating Irish in WEEK 2? Dukes a double digit fav, but lost to Georgia Southern last weekend with an almost identical spread)

Kansas at Baylor (Hard to believe Bears were in Top 10 a few weeks ago and now out of Top 25 altogether. Will Jalon Daniels be back for KU soon? Important BIG 12 - 2 game)

West Virginia at Texas Tech (A couple of 3-3 teams striving for that 6 to get to bowl eligibility. Should be some points in this one)

___________________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

#4 Clemson at Florida State (Would have made the slate a few weeks ago. Tigers are locked in, Noles are not "BACK")

#19 Kansas at Oklahoma (Unfortunately, Jalen Daniels will be DNP  in this one... but can ROCK, CHALK, JAYHAWK beat BOOMER SOONER anyway? Probably not...)

#25 JAMES MADISON at Georgia Southern (Really wanted to celebrate Dukes first ever appearance in D-1 Top 25, but 11.5 spread too much... although GSU could make this a closer game)

Iowa State at #22 Texas (Cyclones come into Austin losing 3 very tough games. 16 point spread WAY too much for Hook "Em)

Arkansas at Brigham Young (Pig Suey flies into Provo also losers of 3 straight, but is a current 1.5 fav. Came down to this game or Bayou Bengals @ Gator Nation)

ALMOST made the cut..

South Carolina at #13 Kentucky (Can Spencer Rattler get a signature W for Cocks after losses to Pig Suey and UGGA?)

Western Kentucky at UTSA (Key C-USA game as we near midpoint of season... WOW!!!)

East Carolina at Tulane (Purple Pirates need 3 W's to get to bowl eligibility. Tough schedule ahead starting with Green Wave)

Virginia Tech at Pittsburgh (More Coastal Chaos to end the era of divisional ACC play)
