I don't like to be the one to say I told you so but............. I once again 2 of my 3 upsets last weekend. This weekend is a little more challenging. I've left off the Oklahoma St-Texas Tech game because that deserves analysis on it's own. Remember, the word "possible" is included in this for a reason.

So, without further adieu, here we go.

• Northwestern over Ohio St: I'm not in love with this one given the Wildcats big win over Minnesota last week. Also, Ohio St has had an extra week to prepare for NW. I do like the way the Cats matchup with the Buckeyes though. They really moved the ball on the ground last week and if Ohio St comes in cocky, this one could be close in the fourth quarter. With NW winning a lot of tight ones this year and playing at home I give them a shot.

• Clemson over Florida St: I don't know what to make of the Seminoles. They're so inconsistent that it's impossible to know which team will show up. I think Bobby Bowden is past the point of being able to fire his team up if he wants to exact revenge for Clemson firing his son. The Tigers actually have more playmakers than the Noles and their last 3 losses have been by a combined 12 points. Win 2 of those and they're 6-2. I think they're starting to respond to Dabo Swinney. I don't know why but they are.

• Cincinnati over West Virginia: The Mountaineers are playing much better football but this is a talented Bearcat team who's been fairly decent against the run. When they played last year, Cincy got way behind and rallied too late. They also gave up almost 5 yards a carry. But, Brian Kelly's team will always play hard and with QB Tony Pike back to being 100%, they'll put pressure on West Virginia's defense. It'll be high scoring and Cincinnati's got the weapons to pull it off.
