FAU @ Louisiana-Monroe
Expectations are not very high for FAU going into this one. At 1-4 the Owls are looking to play spoiler the remainder of the season. ULM (3-2) has played three BCS conference teams and they put each of them to the test. ULM will look to improve to 2-0 in the SBC with a win over FAU. The Owls need to play four quarters if they want to even have a chance in this one. Thus far FAU has not shown the consistency necessary to be competitive in SBC play. The Owl defense, thought to be the strength of the team going into the season, is giving up 30 points per game while the offense is averaging only 13 points per game. ULM has scored nearly 40 points per game while giving up 27 points per game. Expect ULM to put up at least 30 with FAU falling short of that number.
Fearless Prediction: ULM 37 FAU 17
#15 Texas @ #13 Oklahoma
In the Red River Rivalry neither team is poised to make a run at the National Title. However, conference bragging rights and a shot at BIG12 glory are at stake in this one. Expect a high scoring affair. The Texas (4-1) defense has given up 26 points per game while the offense has scored 20 more than that per game. Oklahoma (3-1) averages just over 38 points per game while giving up a respectable 16 points per game. Both teams are pretty balanced on offense with Texas having a slight edge in rushing. Look for Texas to use the run game to keep the Oklahoma offense off of the field. This should be one of the best games of the weekend.
Fearless Prediction: Texas 31 Oklahoma 27
#7 Notre Dame vs. #17 Stanford
This game probably typifies college football more than any other game being played this weekend. Anyone who has spent a fall afternoon in South Bend knows what I am talking about. The colors are changing, the Irish (5-0) are undefeated, and there is a buzz in the air. It is safe to say that Notre Dame is exceeding expectations. If they can find a way to sideline the hideous uniforms from a week ago for the remainder of the season, they might run the table. Defense has been the key for the Irish. They have only given up 10 points or more twice this season and in the last three weeks the Irish have given up a total of 12 points. Stanford will look to spoil the season for the Irish. The Cardinal (4-1) have not been dominant this season even though they are still quite likely to finish with 9 wins. Magic will be in the air in South Bend and the Irish will hold Stanford to 13 points or less.
Fearless Prediction: Notre Dame 27 Stanford 13
#3 South Carolina @ #9 LSU
South Carolina (6-0) is rolling. The Gamecocks have scored 30 or more points in their last 5 outings while holding opponents to 17 points or less in each of those games. LSU (5-1) has one of the most point challenged offenses when facing top 25 defenses. This is nothing new for the Tigers. They always have great defense, but offense production is lacking. An opponent with a great defense does not make for an LSU victory.
Fearless Prediction: South Carolina 24 LSU 14
Enjoy the games and GO OWLS!!!

#3 South Carolina @ #9 LSU
This is going to be a really good game.
You know, I get that Florida beating LSU earned the Tigers a demotion in the rankings from 4 to 9
but
I think bumping Florida up from 10 to 4 was a bit generous.
I have nothing against the Gators, I just don't think they're a Top 5 team right now. If they can beat Southern Carolina, sure. But until then, I remain a bit skeptical.
