It's week ten and it's homecoming time at campuses across the land. See Buffy waive at the crowd during the ceremonies. Hip-hip-hooray!!! Meanwhile, there are some hot games this weekend none better than deep in the heart of Texas where #1 Texas visits #8 Texas Tech.
Here's our games this week:
Air Force (-8) at Army
Here's a game for the Generals to debate, but for those who want to consider whether a good air attack or grinding it out on the ground is the secret to victory in war and football, in either case, it's all about talent, and the Air Force Falcons have an edge in pigskins this year.
Northwestern at Minnesota (17) -7
Here's a close from the Big Ten. Northwestern visits Minnesota who is slightly favored to prevail. Our gaze in the crystal ball says Minnesota will edge Northwestern.
Florida (8) -6 1/2 at Georgia (6)
Florida has been one nasty team this year eliminating all comers to their cozy little alligator's nest in the swamp; however, this weekend, they travel north to the Peach State where the Georgia Bulldogs will be ready wanting to live up to the preseaon hype that had them as a possible #1 seed. This game will be a violent struggle where every yard counts. We see the Dogs frisking the Lizards by about a field goal.
Miami at Virginia -2
Given that Virginia upset Maryland, North Carolina, and Georgia Tech all teams that have drifted in and out of the Top 25 and leading their division, were it not for a fluke, a loss to Duke, they'd surely be a top 20 team. Miami was a team that was supposed to get stronger as the year progressed, but they've not developed much momentum. This game looks like a good bet for the Cavaliers.
Florida State (16) at Georgia Tech -2
Florida State has shown some improvement over the course of the season while Georgia Tech is smarting from Virginia's whacking. This game puts the season on the line Yellow Jackets who should prevail on their home turf.
Texas (1) -3 1/2 at Texas Tech (7)
Oh those rattlesnakes and armadillos will be dancing in the streets in the Lone Star State as two undefeated teams fight for bragging rights for Texas supremacy. If Texas Tech wins, that would knock Tech out of the National Title contest. Furthermore, as an undefeated team having beat the number one team, where should they be seeded in the BCS picture. However, Texas is far more resourcesful with a tougher offense. Hoping to be wrong, but this one belongs to Texas.
