We're now well into the second half of the season and its becoming clear who the leading teams are. Who the best teams are should become clear over the next few weeks, starting with this weeks standout games:
- Florida - Georgia - The worlds largest outdoor cocktail party should decide the SEC East, unless there's a shock result in the next couple of weeks. Based on Georgia's last couple of games, Florida should win this. But Georgia are capable of much better than the last couple of weeks so they could spring a surprise.
- Notre Dame at Oklahoma - Although it won't affect the Big 12 title race, this is a must win for Oklahoma if they want to go to one of the BCS bowls. At 2 losses they'd be out of contention for that. For Notre Dame, a win keeps them in the national title race. The Irish have been winning plenty of close games but not dominating. I'd pick Notre Dame to win this, if they can keep it a close game.
A few other highlights this week:
- Mississippi State at Alabama - Mississippi State haven't got much attention despite being unbeaten. Alabama should win this and, given this is one of their few tests this season, a comfortable win would cement their place at the top of the rankings.
- Ohio State at Penn State - given that these two are not eligible for the post-season, this could be the unofficial Big 10 championship game.
- Texas Tech at Kansas State - potentially a tricky game for Kansas State. This season is due a major upset and Texas Tech have the firepower to do it, but will Kansas State let them?
