Sorry it took me so long to get this post out.  I've been interviewing for the Clemson head coaching job. 

11:00 #11 Ohio State at Illinois ESPN
The Buckeyes will take their 104th ranked passing attack to the fighting Illini today and it won't matter.  Ohio State is 6 in Scoring D, 7 in total D, 8 in Passing D and 6 in turnover margin.  They are facing a Illinois team that for all of it's beginning of year hopes, couldn't play for the MAC title. 

The Illini are getting 9.5 at home.  Ohio state wins it by double digits. 

2:30 #25 South Carolina at #4 Florida CBS
The old ball coach comes home the week after the Gators clinched a spot in the SEC championship.  I'm expecting a let down.  Don't look for a shoot out.  The SEC is all about defense even with Tebow almighty.  Florida will win the ground battle with all of the weapons they have.  The cocks don't even try to run the ball.  The difference is turnovers and QB pressure, both not in South Carolina's favor. 

Florida is giving 23 points at home.  Gators might win, but the Cocks cover.

7:00 #13 Oklahoma State at Colorado abc
The only reason to watch this game is really just morbid curiosity.  Just want to see if the Pokes are going to blow their first prosperity in years.  According to pistol pete, my traveling correspondent it will be windy and freezing in Boulder at game time.  That won't matter to the pokes with their 6th ranked rushing offense.  They can run it all day and it won't matter.  Only hope that Colorado has is some funny bounces and that the altitude and bad weather gets in the pokes heads. 

The Buffs are getting 17.5 at home.  I'm taking the home dog in the pokes first high altitude cold weather game to cover. 

Enjoy the scenery Pistol Pete.  It's better than the drive through western Kansas.
