Chaos is upon us. Just two undefeated teams remain and only one of them has a legit shot at the title game. Pundits are getting themselves all in a tizzy because there’s no clear Heisman front-runner (I’ll have more on that next week). In the meantime; Joe Paterno has lung cancer, Oklahoma State lost two of their women’s basketball coaches, and just as I type this, Chris Fowler announced that a woman was killed tailgating outside of the Yale Bowl before the Harvard/Yale game. Oof.

How about I just get to the picks?

Last week: 4-1 / All-time: 118-63

No. 16 Nebraska at No. 18 Michigan - Nebraska’s first trip to the Big House as a member of the Big 10(12). Michigan’s defense has been better this year, but I think after that really heavy game last week in Happy Valley, the Big House won’t look so big to the Huskers.

Nebraska wins, 21-17

Boston College at Notre Dame - Could be a complete trap game for the Irish, looking ahead to the Stanford game, but I sure as hell hope not. No excuse for losing to this down of a BC team.

Notre Dame wins, 38-14

USC at No. 4 Oregon - Another trap game, this one post-Stanford. But given USC’s recent losses at Autzen and the fact that this is a night game, if the Ducks come out focused, they’re going to win.

Oregon wins, 37-24

No. 5 Oklahoma at No. 22 Baylor - Nope nope nope for Baylor. Their defense gives swiss cheese a bad name, even if RGIII is amazing week in and week out. No way they stop Oklahoma. 

Oklahoma wins, 45-31

Virginia at No. 25 Florida State - Virginia has been outscored by a ridiculous amount in Tallahassee the past few trips, but Head Coach Mike London has the Cavaliers playing tough football. I think they pull the major upset.

Virginia wins, 28-24
