LSU at Alabama: It’s hard for the two head coaches, Les Miles and Nick Saban, to not be the headline story on this game. That’s impressive given that the winner is a virtual lock for the SEC Championship Game. In Tuscaloosa, Mark Ingram and the Tide roll on. Alabama 24, LSU 20.
Florida State at Clemson: Amazingly, these two teams are both in the running to still make an appearance in the ACC Title Game. Clemson’s C.J. Spiller, who should be a significant Heisman candidate, has been a difference maker all season. Saturday is no exception. Clemson 34, FSU 31.
Ohio State at Penn State: Has anyone’s stock fallen faster than Buckeyes QB Terrelle Pryor? Once a rising star, now many around the program question if he can still lead the team. Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions continue their quest for a BCS berth. Penn State 27, Ohio State 17.
Oklahoma at Nebraska: This game used to be one of the season’s biggest. Now, the loser is out of the running for the Cotton Bowl. Oklahoma 30, Nebraska 24.
Navy at Notre Dame: With the Big XII, ACC and Pac-10 all sending (likely) one team to the BCS, the door could be opened for Notre Dame – if they can win out. Pittsburgh, Connecticut and Stanford still pose threats, but the Irish earn some redemption. Notre Dame 30, Navy 23.
Oregon at Stanford: Early in the season it appeared that Stanford would be the better team in this matchup. The Ducks and Jeremiah Masoli need to keep winning big in the hopes of earning a BCS Championship bid. Oregon 41, Stanford 24.
USC at Arizona State: After last week’s destruction at Autzen against the Ducks, the Trojans need some big wins to get back into the BCS conversation instead of being relegated to the Holiday Bowl. It will be anything but a holiday on Saturday for the Sun Devils. Southern Cal 38, Arizona State 17.
