Writeups:

Texas- The Longhorns got caught in a tough spot last week and once the game started to unravel then it really came apart. Everyone knows the ensuing drama that followed. Nothing to get a team focused liked losing a coach suddenly, plus this game will be at home, plus Vegas made Texas favored against the higher ranked Ole add up to a Texas win and the all important cover.

South Carolina- Life in the SEC spotlight is tough. Every loss is scrutinized and seems like the end of the world. Last week Georgia stepped up at home and took care of business. Remember S. Carolina has not played a home game and the players and the fans will be rabid. Vandy played S.C. tough last year and the gamecocks will not take them lightly. Vandy also does not have enough offensive firepower to seriously challenge the gamecocks over the course of the game.

13.5 is a big number however don't be scared off of it as the Gamecocks will be making a statement today,

Bowling Green- I am rolling again with Bowling Green. They did not bring their A game to the first half last week but the coaches quickly adjusted at half time and they took control of the game. This week they will be focused to take advantage of the chance to win against a Big 10 opponent. Indiana meanwhile got put through the meat grinder in a loss to Navy. There defense at the end of the day is just not up to snuff. If the Hoosiers pull this out it will be a 1 point win but likely BGSU gets the SU win on the road.

Va Tech- Good spot for the Hokies here. There defense matches up well with ECU and ECU's defense does not bring much to the party. The Hokies will be able to score with ease while their defense will get critical stops allowing them to cover the spread.

Syracuse- I know nothing about Wagner. Syracuse needs a W in the worst way and will take out their frustration on Wagner big time in this one. I am thinking something like 58-10.

Bama/A&M- Gotta have a side in this one. As much as Bama would like to shut down Manziel, the Aggies will still be able to score. Bama's offense will also get on track in this one. I like this one to get over in an entertaining game.

Ga Tech- So far Ga Tech looks solid and this will be a good test for them. I like their offense to control the tempo however I don't know all that much about Duke so I am getting over extended in this one.
