Big Predictions For College Football Today

After I correctly predicted Central Florida to beat Louisville last night, I'm going to attempt to keep our hot streak going.

On The Docket: Texas Tech at West Virginia
West Virginia has a habit of having bounce back games, and don't forget Clint Trickett and Co. beat Oklahoma State earlier this year in Morgantown. It is excruciatingly hard to think that Texas Tech is going to start out 7-0, and this might be the perfect storm for the 'Eers. West Virginia wins, 27-23.

Florida at Missouri
Mizzou starts life anew today without quarterback James Franklin. But, in surprising fashion, the Tigers are the favorite in this game. Why? Because of the best backup you've never heard of. Maty Mauk. Odd name, huh? One of the most highly touted recruits in ages at Missouri, he should quickly gel with star wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham, and the Tigers will win: 32-21.

UCLA at Stanford
To the West Coast we go, and it's a make it or break it game for UCLA. Probably the most important matchup for UCLA in a long time, Brett Hundley will be trying to keep the Bruins National Championship hopes alive. Stanford is coming off of a loss to Utah, but always has a great advantage in Palo Alto. However, I say Cassius Marsh and Anthony Barr will lead UCLA's defense, and the whole team, to a 28-21 win over the Cardinal. 

Auburn at Texas A&M
So many people want to believe that Auburn will give A&M a run for their money, but I heartily disagree. Due to the AP poll's bias towards including many SEC team, Auburn snuck in the Top 25, undeservingly so. Auburn hasn't beat anybody spectacular, and their loss was at the hands of the LSU Tigers, in which LSU pounded Auburn from all sides of the ball. Yes. Texas A&M's defense is pretty bad this year, but as long as they have Johnny Manziel in their arsenal, A&M wins, 42-28.

Florida State at Clemson

That should do it for now, but as always, there could be many more upsets lurking around the corner.

Gosh I love college football.
