If Tim Tebow can't go in this one, then LSU should win this game. Losing a Tim Tebow isn't something that can be fixed by simply putting in another guy who can run the system effectively. You are losing the heart, soul and fire behind the undefeated, defending national champions. With all of this aside, I do think that Tebow plays in this game because, as I mentioned before, he is the heart of this team and will refuse to not play in a game on such a big stage. It will be close heading into the fourth quarter, but Tebow will lead a touchdown drive to secure the lead while the stellar defense will do the rest. LSU will prove they aren't a joke, but Florida will be Florida and win this big game.
Prediction:
Florida- 28
LSU- 20
#3/3 Alabama (5-0) @ #16/20 Ole Miss (3-1) -
Another big time SEC showdown will define this week's action, although I don't see it being quite as intriguing as a Florida-LSU match up. In my opinion, Alabama is the most well balanced team in college football and are most suited to play for the national title and win if the game were being played today. The Crimson Tide defense should do everything in their power to keep Ole Miss from pulling any fast ones early in the game, and will force Mississippi QB Jeavan Snead to win the game with his arm. He will throw for two touchdowns, but it will be too late. Alabama will already be up by several touchdowns.
Prediction:
Alabama- 30
Ole Miss- 14
Michigan (4-1) @ #12/14 Iowa (5-0) -
Iowa is widely considered to be the favorite to win the Big Ten after beating Penn State in Happy Valley. Am I buying into that? Well, they are a safe team to pick because they are physical, they run the football well, their QB doesn't make mistakes and they have a hell of a coach. I am highly unimpressed with their offensive production, though, and think that their defense is beatable. Michigan will come into Iowa City and put A LOT of scare into the Hawkeye faithful, but Iowa's defense will step up and make some plays down the stretch to secure a very close victory. What?? Michigan is human after everyone declared them back among the conference's elite?? Who saw that coming??? .....I did....
Prediction:
Iowa- 23
UM- 17
Big Ten Rundown-
Other than Ohio State, Iowa and Wisconsin, no one is looking too awesome at the moment. Penn State and Michigan have both dropped games that they should've won, while everyone else just loses it seems like. Iowa and Wisconsin are both 5-0, while OSU might as well be 5-0 after the way they played against USC. Their three point loss to the Trojans was probably the best thing to happen to Big Ten football since...well...when OSU won the national title after the 2002 season. An undefeated team might fall this weekend in conference play. But who will it be: Iowa or Wisconsin?
Wisconsin (5-0) @ Ohio State (4-1) TBA
Michigan State (2-3) over Illinois (1-3) Dantonio has this team focused after a rough start.
Iowa (5-0) over Michigan (4-1) Too much defense for the little QB that could Tate Forcier.
Minnesota (3-2) over Purdue (1-4) Purdue just can't play defense. Minnesota can score a lot.
Penn State (4-1) over Eastern Illinois (????) Who cares.
Northwestern (3-2) over Miami OH (0-5) Who cares, part II.
Indiana (3-2) over Virginia (1-3) FIRE AL GROH!! He's done at Virginia...for real this time.
