Week 6 picks

Big Ten Undefeated Teams ready to show down
Last season’s Big Ten’s Champions face a team that is on fire this season. As Ohio ST. will travel to Purdue. The Purdue offense has been flaming hot while the Ohio St. defense is rebuilt and looking to show how good they really are. But the Boilermakers are looking to turn the tide of the big Ten with an upset over the #4 Ohio St. Buckeyes Saturday. The question is though can they turn it around against a team that has been so consistently good the last few years. Purdue has been looking for some sort of a name over the last few years as they’ve struggled.
Purdue ranks 10th in the nation offensively and 8th with an average of 45 points per game. On the flip side Ohio St. has the 3rd ranked scoring defense and the defense as a whole is ranked 2nd in the nation. It sounds like quite the game brewing in West Lafayette to me. As one team looks to continue greatness the other looks to start a name… especially with Michigan next week at the Big House this would be a great starting point for Purdue. My question though is can Purdue hold on? Can they pull off the upset. You’ll have to watch to know for sure but a little preview:
Ohio St. 26 Purdue 24
The SEC has this kind of season
What kind of season will this be for the SEC? Who is the true team to beat in the SEC? Well so far it appears to be LSU… but Kentucky, South Carolina and Florida all look to prove otherwise. Although all have suffered a loss. Kentucky lost last night. So now LSU looks to get revenge against Florida tomorrow night. LSU is into the number 1 team in the nation thing. As they have a poster saying Florida may have the sand and sun but LSU is number 1. They are also going on to the field ranked #1 for the first time since 1959. They look to dismantle the Gators as they did Virginia Tech though.
Tim Tebow and the Gators though like to prove otherwise. They have the speed and talent to pull off the upset. Yet they’ll have to get past this amazing LSU defense that just destroys anything that tries to beat it. Then again Urban Meyer hasn’t lost back to back games since he was coach at Bowling Green. So as LSU looks to keep their national title and undefeated run going, the gators on the other hand try to avoid another loss as that would most likely cost them a shot at the national title. But can the defending champs pull it off?
LSU 21 Florida 20
Red River Shootout action… Not what it seems?
What happened to the good old games where this would have title impacts…. Well Colorado and Kansas St. happened. Both teams knocked off top 10 teams… now those to once top ten teams play as Oklahoma and Texas go at it. Neither team wants to fall out of the conference race this early as the loser may be down by as many as 2 games to any 2-0 team in the South. Looking at last weeks game Texas had the worst of it as they lost to Kansas St. but it wasn’t a normal loss it was a rout. Texas’s in ability to be decisive cost them. Oklahoma on the other hand looked like they were just stumbling over their own feet.
This week the Sooners look to bring back that team that was winning by 50 points the first 4 games. While Texas tries to bring back that team that looked like it may have been a contender last year. They still have McCoy as QB and Brown as Coach. They can do it. Yet Oklahoma and Sam Bradford will be looking to light up the score board this weekend. The Texas State Fair will be going on outside. This game is for a golden hat and what could possibly be more important than that?
Oklahoma 45 Texas 17
