__________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

#14 Missouri at #1 Georgia (If this game were in Columbia, might have made the WEEK 10 slate. Mizzou will hang around, but UGGA stays unbeaten)

#12 Notre Dame at Clemson (Tigers should be ready in Death Valley, but not enough offense to keep up with Sam Harman and Irish. 3 point spread perplexes me)

Texas A&M at #11 Mississippi (Jimbo has had some tough losses this year to good teams, but Joey Freshwater should get the best of him at The Grove. Another 3 point spread that is too small)

Virginia Tech at #15 Louisville (Hokies still have hopes of facing tFSU at BofA Stadium. Cards have the inside track for 2nd place. Huge game for both teams)

#23 James Madison at Georgia State (Dukes will have a hard time staying unbeaten at GSU. CFP hopes on the line for JMU)

___________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

#1 Georgia vs. Florida (Hate to leave The World's Largest Cocktail Party off the WEEK 8 slate, but Dawgs a 2 TD fav and EVERYONE would pick UGGA, right???)

Brigham Young at #7 Texas (Like Florida, BYU comes in at 5-2 but a 17 point dog. Everybody picks Hook "Em, RIGHT??? I'm still thinking back to that UVA-UNC game...)

Colorado at #23 UCLA (Time is running out for Coach Prime to get his 6-pack for Buffaloes. CU has a shot against Bruins, but not much of one.)

#24 USC at California (Trojans out of CFP picture, but still can win the last PAC-12 title ever. Golden Bears have outside shot at a bowl game. #goacc)

Mississippi State at Auburn (Two good but not great SEC teams trying to find a way to get to a bowl game... maybe against a good but not great ACC team?)

___________________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

#2 Michigan at Michigan State (Wolves should crush the downtrodden Sparticus program, but stranger things have happened in this rivalry)

#22 Air Force at Navy (Great to see undefeated Falcons in Top 25 entering this military battle) 

Washington State at #9 Oregon (Wazzu could end Ducks CFP hopes if they can get up off the mat after 44-6 trucking by AZ Cats last weekend)

#8 Texas at Houston (Sneaky dangerous game for Hook 'Em. Should win, but an L ends CFP hopes)

Appalachian State at Old Dominion (3-3 teams trying to get a 6-pack as we enter 2nd half of season)

Auburn at #22 LSU (War Eagle played UGGA to a 7 point game. Bayou Bengals on mild upset alert in Baton Rouge)

#23 Kansas at Oklahoma State (Mike Gundy and the Pokes got a big Friday Night Lights win over KSU last weekend... tOSU's stock rising???)

Iowa at Wisconsin (Hawks are 5-1, Badgers 4-1. Should be a good grinder of a game. 'Sconsin (-10) a little much, methinks)

Florida at South Carolina (Key SEC battle betwixt to schools that WANT to be great, but in reality are just good. #truthbomb)

Arizona at #19 Washington State (Wildcats might be best 3-3 team in NCAA with CLOSE losses to Miss St, U-Dub, and SoCal. Wazzu looking to bounce back after L to UCLAns)

______________________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

Wake Forest at Clemson (Wonder if the 21 point line would be smaller if Deacs could have supported Sam Hartman's 1 MIL-plus NIL money?)

#15 Oregon State at California (Golden Bears less than 10 pt dawg to resurgent Beavers. #goacc)

Rutgers at Wisconsin (3-1 Badgers favored by 13 over 4-1 Scarlet Knights. This game HAS to be one of the SuperDog picks of the ESPN College Gameday crew)

Maryland at #4 Ohio State (Matchup of unbeatens, but tOSU favored by 20. #gotwerps)

Boston College at Army (Both are sub-.500, so this game would never make the slate anyway. Should be a good game, though. Can either one of these teams reach 6 W's?)
