Tier One Games

#6TCU (5-0) @ Kansas State (3-2) – 12PM ET, Fox Sports One 

Interesting how this game, perhaps the best matchup of the day, is on at noon. TCU has one of the best resumes in the country, with wins over Arkansas, West Virginia, and Oklahoma State, but I absolutely see potential for an upset here. The “Little Apple” is a tough place to play for almost anyone, the stadium is over capacity much of the time, and it’s in the middle of nowhere. K-State took Texas to overtime last week, and this is going to be another game that will come down to the wire, but Kenny Hill has rebounded from a poor year in 2016, and the TCU defense looks like one that Gary Patterson would be proud of once again. Bill Snyder will have K-State ready, and I wouldn’t touch TCU-6 with a ten foot pole, but since I have to make a pick, I’ll side with the proven commodity.

Prediction: TCU 37, Kansas State 30

#10Auburn (5-1) @ LSU (4-2) – 3:30PM ET, CBS

LSU rebounded from the Troy loss last week by going to the Swamp and beating a ranked Florida team. LSU is going to be one of those hot and cold teams this year, that you will never quite know which team Ed Orgeron is going to put out there, the Mississippi State one, or the BYU one. Regardless, Auburn is a top tier team, no doubt about it, their one possession loss to Clemson on the road might actually strengthen their resume given how dominant CU has been this year, even on the road. This is going to be a defensive struggle, and if either team gets into the mid-30’s I’d be surprised, but I have absolutely zero confidence in Danny Etling as a quarterback, and even on the road, I’ve got Auburn.

Prediction: Auburn 30, LSU 24

#12Oklahoma (4-1) vs Texas (3-2) – 3:30PM ET, ESPN (in Dallas, TX)

The Red River Rivalry made the list of tier one games, what do you know? Oklahoma has the best win of any team in the country (@ Ohio State), which is why I kept them in the top ten, but they also have the worst loss of any top 25 team, at home, to the Iowa State Cyclones this past week. Texas is another hot and cold team, they lost to a bad Maryland team, but the Longhorns also beat Kansas State, and probably should have beaten USC on the road (I told you they should’ve gone for two!). Two of the toughest teams to evaluate in all of college football, but I think that loss to Iowa State last week woke the Sooners up, and I see Oklahoma getting the win in Dallas.

Prediction: Oklahoma 37, Texas 27

Purdue (3-2) @ #7Wisconsin (5-0) – 3:30PM ET, BTN

I really like Wisconsin this year, and I think Vegas really undervalues the Badgers because they’ve played nobody this year. I took Wisconsin mins the 11 last week over Nebraska, and won. This time, you are laying more points (16.5) but it’s at home, against an improved but still mediocre Purdue team, I’ll take that any day of the week. Wisconsin’s non-con also looks a little better than it did before, with FAU contending for a Conference-USA title, and Utah State holding a record of 3-1 against fellow group of five opponents. Purdue is fine, and I’d be really happy if they made a bowl, I rated Jeff Brohm as my #1 higher of the offseason, but I certainly don’t see them taking down Wisconsin on the road.

Prediction: Wisconsin 38, Purdue 14 (Wisconsin -16.5 is a BEST BET for Week Seven)

Arkansas (2-3) @ #1Alabama (6-0) – 7:15PM ET, ESPN

Guess who is about to get murdered? Alabama looked vulnerable for the first time last week against Texas A&M, in a game that came down to the last possession (Texas A&M actually went up in my power ratings after the loss). That is not happening against Arkansas. Alabama is going to get back to the pace they were at against Ole Miss and Vandy. The Tide are at home, and Arkansas has a rough go of things so far this year, and things aren’t going to get better with Alabama this week, and then Auburn the next. Bret Bielema’s buyout will prevent him from getting fired this year, but he better have something up his sleeve in 2018, or he is out. This is going to be a beatdown.

Prediction: Alabama 45, Arkansas 14
