AL vs. IU
OR vs. Tx Tech
Miami vs. Oh St
Ole Miss vs Georgia
The only one of those 4 that I would consider a big upset would be if Miami beats the Buckeyes. I don't think that happens as I think Beck has one of 'those' games against a strong OSU defense and throws 2+ interceptions and OSU gets some cheap points from the turnovers. I think OSU wins by 16.
I have not been convinced that AL is great consistently and the game against OU did nothing to dispel that notion. They have looked like the best team in the country at times and maybe a top 25 team at times. I think that bites them in the butt against IU, who will NOT beat themselves. IU has just enough offense and defense to win a close game by 4. I do think that's the last win for IU, though.
I've only watched bits and pieces of Tx Tech and feel like they're a good, solid team. But, I believe OR has more talent, is more explosive and not as prone to shooting themselves in the foot. I don't believe this game will turn into a rout but I think OR wins by 9 and seems in control for much of the game.
If Kiffin were coaching this game, I'd almost rate this a tossup. But, Georgia has seemingly peaked at the right time and both offense and defense are on a very good roll. Ole Miss will score some points but I don't believe their defense will hold up over the course of the game and Georgia is too talented and too well-coached to not play at least their B+ game, which means they'll win by 11.
