While this week does not have the "blockbuster" games that last week did, there still are some very good games and certainly some possible upsets out there. Here are a few games to watch:
Oklahoma @ Baylor. Since their loss to Texas, Oklahoma has been laying the best ball in the Big 12, covering their last 4 games easily. Baylor has not looked very good of late, barely getting by Kansas State on the road, winning 31-24. OU defeated K-State 55-0 in Manhattan.
Alabama @ Mississippi State. 'Bama is coming off a huge win against LSU, and now controls their own destiny in the SEC West. Miss. State has not defeated 'Bama since 2007. 'Bama ruined State's perfect season last year. Sounds like the stuff that upsets are made of. Check the line closely.
Miami @ North Carolina. This is a huge game for UNC. Their only loss this season was an opening week loss to South Carolina. They are the forgotten team in the ACC. This is UNC's last home game. They finish the season at Va. Tech and N.C. State. Who knows which Miami team shows up?
Oregon @ Stanford. Stanford is on a roll, having run the table after a game 1 loss to Northwestern. The Cardinal are 8-0 S/U and 7-1 ATS since that opening day loss. The playoffs are still a possibility for them. Oregon has had a disappointing season by Oregon standards, but still has the ability to score and can not be taken lightly.
Utah @ Arizona. Utah needs a win to stay ahead of USC in the Pac 12 South race. They are another 1 loss team looking for a New Years Eve or Day game. This is their last away game. Arizona still needs one more win to become bowl eligible. They did not mail it in against USC last night, in a 38-30 loss. RichRod teams can score.
