Week 8 College Football Predictions

Every week we're breaking down the top 25 teams in college football and a couple of "at large" games. Check out our picks, and who our upset specials are! There could be a few this week, lots of possibilities! 

Do you have an upset we should be watching out for? Let us know! You get a big upset right and we'll mention you on our next post and podcast! 

20 Auburn (5-2) at 1 LSU (7-0)

Upset alert starts with #1 in the country in the battle of the Tigers. "What do Tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze?" Well, for those from the Bayou, apparently it's...synthetic marijuana? With three players for LSU suspended this week, including James's Heisman favorite in Tyrann Mathieu who runs the defense and special teams, the Bayou Bengals might be in trouble. They are playing Auburn, the defending national champions who should have lost week one to Utah State. Such an intriguing matchup...LSU better not be looking past Auburn for their matchup with 'Bama next week.

Dot's Pick:  Auburn 17-10            Dellav's Pick: LSU 24-17               Final: LSU 45-10

              

Tennessee (3-3) at 2 Alabama (7-0)

The Tide know a #1 seed in the BCS is at stake. A win this week at home almost assures them of the top spot leading into their showdown next week with LSU.

Dot's Pick:  Alabama 31-10            Dellav's Pick: Alabama 35-7            Final: Alabama 37-6

              

Texas Tech (4-2) at 3 Oklahoma (6-0)

Everybody knows Texas Tech scores points. They also know that they give up a lot in return, 30 per game. Everybody knows Oklahoma is a scoring machine this year. Most don't know that they're actually allowing only 15.8 points per game. Can they keep the Red Raider offense quiet? Or will we have a shootout?

Dot's Pick:  Oklahoma 55-27            Dellav's Pick: Oklahoma 37-17            Final:

              

4 Oklahoma State (6-0) at Missouri (3-3)

The Cowboys are being told that if they win out, they'll be assured a spot in the title game. They can't be looking ahead to matchups versus fellow undefeated Big 12 teams of Kansas State and Oklahoma. Missouri scores points, and in a shootout game this one might feature a victory for whoever has the ball last!
