Carnival of College Football Predictions

This weeks "Carnival of College Football Predictions" is as follows for 10/8:

#1 USC beats Arizona big......................
#2 Texas beats Oklahoma who is down this year...........could be closer than most think however
#3 Va. Tech beats Marshall
#4 FSU beats Wake Forest
#5 Georgia loses to #8 Tennessee at Tennessee ( upset ) in best game of the day
#6 Ohio State beats #16 Penn State...........Penn State is better than I thought but I think Ohio State is better......Second best game of the day
#9 Miami beats Duke big unless they play with the round ball.....................
#10 Cal beats #20 UCLA in a what is probably the third best game of the day
#11 LSU beats Vandy after the loss to Middle Tennessee last week we know Vandy is still Vandy............
#13 Florida beats Miss State and gets right after the Bama bounding
#14 Wisconsin beats Northwestern in what could be a very entertaining game.........I would not be shocked if Northwestern pulled the upset
#15 Texas Tech beats Trev Albert's Nebraska
#17 ASU beats Oregon in another entertaining game
#18 BC beats UV in a low scoring game of defense
#21 Michigan beats Minnesota in a good game
#23 Louisville beats NC in what could be an entertaining game as well.

Lots of ranked teams playing unranked teams. Actually only three match-ups where "both" teams are ranked. A couple really good games but not a great weekend and a week stacked towards the favored ranked teams I think. Best bets for me are in order:

Georgia @ Tenn
Ohio State @ Penn State
Cal @ UCLA
Michigan vs Minn
Wisc @ Northwestern
ASU vs Oregon
Texas Tech @ Nebraska
Louisville vs UN

The Texas vs Oklahoma game should have been a "burner" but it does not look like it will end up being the case.......................................
