College Football Predictions

Filed in archive College Football on October 12, 2007

Because people like predictions, let's take a look at some games featuring the top 25 teams in the nation, and take a few educated guesses at the outcome. The number in parenthesis are the team's national rankings.

(1) LSU 31, (17) Kentucky 20
This game is part of a three game stretch that started with a loss against South Carolina and ends with a game against Florida that will expose the Wildcats. Though it's in Lexington, the LSU defense is far too good to let QB Andre Woodson and company put up big offensive numbers.

Penn State 24, (19) Wisconsin 21
Wisconsin hasn't really looked right all season. They have a number of close victories against the likes of UNLV and Iowa, and they were defeated rather soundly by Illinois last weekend. Penn State wins this in a close one, taking advantage of the home crowd.

Arkansas 28, (22) Auburn 24
The game is being played at Arkansas, and the Razorbacks running back tandem of Felix Jones and Darren McFadden is probably the best in the nation. This seems to be a classic trap game, as Auburn is facing a huge test at #1 LSU next weekend, and they may be looking ahead to that.

(6) Oklahoma 42, (11) Missouri 31
The Tigers will put up a fight in Norman, but the Sooners will have too much offense for Mizzou's struggling defense. Though the Tigers didn't allow a touchdown against Nebraska, the Sooners offense is much more powerful, especially at the wide receiver position. This game will come down to the fourth quarter, and QB Chase Daniel will keep Mizzou in it, but Oklahoma will pull away at the end.
