There are four match ups of ranked teams.  This week will be a breaking point for my picks.  We are getting into the meat of the season and it is time to separate the real teams from the posers.  We are going to lose at least two of the unbeaten teams in College football today.  Which will either make things more clear or confuse the BCS even more. (The Rankings being used today are the BCS standings)

First match up is (1)Oklahoma at (11)Missouri – the Sooners have been winning the close games this year.  They have not looked great all year and in some games they easily could have lost.  Missouri has been very solid this year.  Their Defense has been close to the top in all categories this year.  Oklahoma’s luck runs out and Missouri wins with its D.  Missouri 28 – Oklahoma 17

The next game  (6)LSU at (4)Auburn – LSU has been very similar to Oklahoma this year.  They have been in some close games that have just gone their way.  They have had help with other teams not knowing how many player should be on the field. At times all the breaks have gone their way.  Auburn has maybe the most dynamic player in College Football this year in Cameron Newton.   He is putting up stats that are just amazing.  He is averaging more yards a game than Denard Robinson is at Michigan yet he is flying under the radar and not getting all the hype.  That is just the way that Auburn wants it.  I don’t see how LSU is going to be able to stop Auburn.  Auburn 42 – LSU 28

The third game of ranked opponenets will be a pivitol game for the race for someone other than Ohio State to finally win the Big 10.  (13)Wisconsin at (15)Iowa – Iowa is the favorite in this game mainly because it is a home game for them.  I just don’t see how the Iowa defense is going to be able to stop the Wisconsin running game.  Wisconsin made the Ohio State Defense which had been amazing all year look average.  Wisconsin also has a secret weapon with QB Scott Tolzien.  He is having a good year.  He has been doing what a lot of people don’t seem to like for some reason.  He has been managing the games.  He has had the ability this year to limit the turnovers and come up with key plays this year.  Wisconsin 21 – Iowa 10

In the last pick for today we will actually lose 3 undefeated teams today.  (16)Nebraska at (14)Oklahoma St – Look for Nebraska to be pumped up after laying an egg at home against Texas.  Nebraska really want to show its strength to the Big 12 as it gets ready to ride off the the Big 10.  Oklahoma State has the better offense but they have not played a Defense like Nebraska’s.  Nebraska wants to win the Big 12 in its final season and will come out firing here.  Nebraska 35 – Oklahoma St 24

Standing at 7 – 4 in my ranked team picks this week could really kill my picks.
