Week 3 Games of the Week

#1 Oklahoma @ #5 Florida State
- I really have no idea how I feel about this game because I feel like this would really only be a true contest if it were played before 2001. I can't help but look at FSU's lofty preseason ranking and think that they are just a tad overrated. However, this clashes with my opinions on the talent, coaching staff and swagger that the Seminoles have right now down in Tallahassee. I can't pick Florida State to win, but it will be fun to see Doak Campbell Stadium rocking again in a top five showdown against Oklahoma. The Sooners have too much firepower to be shut down offensively, and haven't allowed a sack in what seems like years. QB LaRon Landry will lead the number one team in college football on the road for another big win over Florida State.

Oklahoma- 34
Florida State- 20

#3 LSU @ #25 Mississippi State
- The Tigers aren't flashy by any stretch of the imagination, but they are a damn good football team. Damn good teams like LSU better watch out for road games like this against a feisty conference foe the likes of Mississippi State. I don't see Starkville partying into the night after a huge win over LSU, and the reason for that is defense; the lack of one for MSU and the power of the Tiger defense. I expect a great game tomorrow night on ESPN, but don't count on an upset in this one.

LSU- 27
MSU- 21

Tennessee @ #16/17 Florida
- I can't wait to watch this game! The University of Tennessee is once against brimming with confidence in year two under Coach Dooley and they feel as if it is only a matter of time before they are once against a force to be reckoned with in the SEC. Florida, by an even larger degree, feels as if they could be the best team in the whole conference after the way they have dispatched their first two opponents, only giving up a total of three points in the process. Tennessee and QB Tyler Bray will definitely score and keep the game interesting, but nothing comes easy in this SEC East rivalry. UF is too confident and everything seems to be in place for them to come out of this one with a big win over the Vols. The Will Muschamp era is getting off to a very good start, I must say, and I do not see his team falling to 2-1 after Saturday.

UT- 28
UF- 35
