The eyes of Texas are upon you? No. This Saturday it's the other way around. Here are the picks:
Western Michigan (6-1) at Central Michigan (4-2), Noon, ESPN Gameplan
The Broncos’ (that would be Western) lone loss came at Nebraska, and only by three. The Chippewas lost at Georgia and at Purdue. Quarterbacks Tim Hiller (WMU) and Dan LeFevour are both in the top 20 nationally in total offense. Bonus points to you if you know the towns in which both these campuses are located.
Mount Pleasant 42, Kalamazoo 36
No. 23 Vanderbilt (5-1) at No. 9 Georgia (5-1), 12:30 p.m., ESPN Gameplan
History suggests that the Commodores will find yet another heartbreaking way to deny themselves a bowl berth. Could they really lose seven straight after starting out 5-0?
40-Watt Club 33, Grand Ole Opry 10
No. 11 Ohio State (6-1) at No. 17 Michigan State (6-1), 3:30 p.m., ABC
The Buckeyes have won nine straight on the road in-conference, but the Spartans have won six straight overall. Two schools whose only losses came on the road in the Golden State in early September will vie to remain in the hunt, as both still have Penn State on their schedules. Worth watching just to see Spartan tailback Javon Ringer (158 yards per game) versus Buckeye linebacker James Laurinaitis.
Six-game Losing Streak Vs. Michigan 19, Four-game Win Streak vs Michigan 16
No. 15 Kansas (5-1) at No. 6 Oklahoma (5-1), 3:30 p.m., ABC
The Jayhawks avoided the Sooners last season on the way to a 12-1 season and Orange Bowl triumph. Not this year. Quarterback Todd Reesing is as creative as any snap-taker in the Big 12, and he will need to be. Sooners? Hungover or hungry?
Dust Bowl 37, Dust in the Wind 20
Pittsburgh (4-1) at Navy (4-2), 3:30 p.m., CBS
The Middies, with the nation’s 2nd-best rushing attack, have won three straight. The Panthers, with one of the nation’s most frenetic middle linebackers, Scott McKillop, have won four in a row.
Marinos 31, McCains 23
