Staff game predictions favor Boise State
Nebraska @ Penn State 11 a.m. CPT
35-14, Nebraska
Nebraska will come back after its 25-28 loss to Northwestern. After this week's Penn State scandal it is unlikely the team will be back together and focused by game time. Nebraska coach Ron Brown will keep his team mentally locked-in despite the extra attention on the game.
41-17, Nebraska
42-17, Nebraska
With the scandal just coming out for Pena State, Nebraska is going to unleash on them. Interim coach Tom Bradley is not ready to lead the team to a win over a high caliber team like Nebraska.
28-17, Nebraska
Nebraska roughs up an unfocused Penn State team that looks lost after the removal of former Penn State icon Joe Paterno. Husker quarterback Tyler Martinez has the game of his season as the Huskers will have the Nittany Lion fans leaving Happy Valley frowning.
It's hard to imagine the Penn State players being able to focus or prepare at all for Nebraska this week. Nebraska needs to win after a bad loss to Northwestern. The combination of the two puts Nebraska on top.
TCU @ Boise State 2:30 p.m. CT
28-25, Boise State
38-24, Boise State
Boise St. will continue its undefeated run despite its leading rusher, senior running back Doug Martin, being listed as day-to-day. The TCU defense will be ready to take advantage of the changes in personnel on the Boise State side. The game will come down to how prepared Martin's replacement, senior D.J. Harper, is to take on the Horned Frog defense.
Kellen Moore has a completion percentage of 74.1 which is second in the nation and the passing game will just be too much for TCU to defend.
35-20, Boise State
In the only matchup between these two teams that will ever take place in the Mountain West Conference, the blue turf will get to the Horned Frogs. Bronco quarterback Kellen Moore will have a field day with the TCU defense. The win is more important to the Broncos who need to make a BCS bowl game, which only a perfect record will allow them to do.
41-28, Boise State
The Broncos playing on their home turf will be too much for the Horned Frogs to handle. Boise State's perfect record will remain untouched.
Auburn @ Georgia 2:30 p.m. CT
42-28, Georgia
PAGE 19
The South's biggest rivalry will see Georgia come out on top. Georgia's freshman running back, Isaiah Crowell is back after a one game suspension for breaking team rules. The Bulldogs did not suffer while he was gone. Last week, Georgia defeated New Mexico G3-16. The pressure will be on Auburn to win, but they have not walked with a victory in Athens since 2005.
24-17, Georgia
27-20, Georgia
After losing its first two games to ranked teams, Georgia has won seven straight. Auburn will keep it close, but the Buldings have the better defense, and as last week's LSU-Alabama matchup showed, defense is the key to winning in the SEC.
31-17, Georgia
It will be a close one in Athens, Ga., and Georgia will come out on top with the help of home field and getting Isaiah Crowell back from the one game suspension will help.
The Buldogs' offense, led by quarterback Aaron Murray, will overmatch an overrated Auburn team. Auburn running back Michael Dyer is dynamic, but he won't be able to do enough, as Auburn won't be able to put up enough points to
Oregon @ Stanford 7 p.m. CT
bring down the Buildogs.
32-28, Stanford
The game will determine the Pac-12 North champion. Stanford's senior receiver Chris Owes will not play after suffering a concussion last week. Stanford is looking to come back after last year's 52-31 loss to the Ducks in Oregon. Despite the injury, 4. Stanford has the motivation to win at home Saturday.
41-34 Stanford
The game in Stanford could be the best game this weekend. It is going to take an overtime to decide this one with Andrew Luck having four touchdowns.
48-38, Oregon
31-28, Stanford
Quarterback Andrew Luck's Cardinals will suffer their first lost of the season under Oregon running back LaMichael James' lead. In the end, Oregon's offense out-duels Stanford in a high scoring game that will surely be entertaining.
the marquee matchup that the Pac-12 has been waiting for all year finally arrives. Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will prove on the field why he will be the No. 1 overall pick as he leads Stanford on a last minute touchdown drive to clinch the victory and all but assure his team a spot in the Pac-12 championship game.
