Our first game of the week is also the host of College Gameday, as ESPN will be in College Station this Saturday. The 2nd ranked Clemson Tigers travel to face the Texas A&M Aggies. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see a tough defensive battle between the two teams as Clemson has a young offense and Texas A&M has a physical defense.
Clemson 31-17
The 3rd ranked Georgia Bulldogs are at 24th ranked South Carolina. I believe that this SEC match up is a little overlooked. While Georgia looks good we have got to remember the fact that they lost 3 of their main 4 offensive stars, not to mention the defensive gaps they have to fill. The key to the Dawgs winning this game, I believe, is James Cook, Georgia’s freshman who won’t be available until the second half due to a suspension.
Georgia 45-28
The 17th ranked USC Trojans are at 10th ranked Stanford. This late night match-up between PAC-12 rivals should be a good one. USC, the underdog for this one, is going to need a big game from freshman quarterback JT Daniels. This would also be a good week for Brice Love to show that he is a he is an Heisman hopeful with a big game at home. This could end up being a major role in playoff hopes come the end of the season so, expect this one to be good.
Stanford 38-28
Daniel’s Picks
