Week Eight Preview

This season is heating up. As teams are in the midst of conference play we have some very critical games this weekend. Starting with....

11 Missouri at 1 Texas

Missouri is coming off a stunning loss and Texas is coming off a huge win. Missouri can lose control of their season and Chase Daniel's Heisman with a loss this weekend. Texas has a brutal Big-12 schedule (as does everyone else) coming up and it starts with Missouri.

Winner? Texas


12 Ohio State at 20 Michigan State

Without a conference championship game in the Big-10 these next few weeks will decide the conference title. Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan State are all 3-0 in the conference. Both still have to play Penn State. Ohio State is a better team now than when they played USC (Terrell Pryor is the reason). A big dose of Javon Ringer will propel MSU, however.

Winner? Michigan State

16 Kansas at 4 Oklahoma

Oklahoma was riding high until the Texas game. The Big-12 is still anyone's game. OU probably has the weakest schedule remaning. Texas Tech and Oklahoma State are looming at the end of the year though.

Winner? OU

22 Vanderbilt at 10 Georgia

Vandy has been the surprise story of the year so far. They have a legitmate shot to be playing for an SEC title. It starts at Georgia this weekend. I don't think the bulldogs will understimate Vandy at all but they may be thinking ahead to the next two weeks. At LSU and home for Florida.

Winner? Vandy

Mississippi at 2 Alabama

Florida fell asleep against Ole Miss and they paid the price. Ole Miss won't sneak up on Nick Saban but they are still a good team. Jevan Snead is a big time QB and there could be an upset brewing at bama. There are also whispers of the Crimson Tide being overrated.

Winner? Alabama
