College Football Week 10 Predictions

Here are my predictions for the notable games of week 10 of the 2013 college football season. Let's get into it.

12:00 P.M.
#24 Wisconsion(5-2) at Iowa(5-3)
The Badgers have a explosive offense lead by Sophomore QB Joel Stave, Sophomore RB Melvin Gordon and Senior WR Jarred Abbrederis. Their 2 losses have been by a combined of 9 points, both at Arizona State and Ohio State. The Hawkeyes are no pushover, as they nearly knocked off #4 Ohio State in The Horseshoe, and playing at Kinnick Stadium makes them a lot tougher. However, I expect the Badgers offense to help them pull out this one.

Prediction: Wisconsion 34, Iowa 21
3:30 P.M.
Navy(4-3) at #25 Notre Dame(6-2)
The Fighting Irish are having a bit of a down year compared to last year's team that was one win away from a national championship, but they are still dangerous and if they win out, could make a BCS appearance. Led by Senior QB Tommy Reese, the Irish have a solid offensive attack, and while Navy is not quite a pushover with their famed option offense, ND will just be too much for them in the 87th edition this historic rivalry.
Prediction: Notre Dame 41, Navy 24
#21 Michigan(6-1) at #22 Michigan State(7-1)
Michigan , led by dual threat QB Devin Gardener, is 6-1, but hasn't been very impressive in doing so, as they could have easily lost some of their games. Michigan State, on the other hand, I feel is an under the radar team in the Big 10. Although the Spartans, led by Junior running back Jeremy Langford, have not had a true quality win yet, I feel that they have been very impressive in their wins and are up to the task. I think the Sparty will take the 106th meeting between these 2 rivals.
Prediction: MSU 38, Michigan 30
Georgia(4-3) at Florida(4-3)
Both Georgia and Florida have been disappointments this season. I think that Florida, led by Junior QB Tyler Murphy, who replaced Jeff Driskel, who was lost for the year in week 4 with a broken right fibula, wins this one over star Senior QB Aaron Murry in the 92 edition of the Worlds Largest Cocktail Party.
Prediction: Florida 28, Georgia 24

 7:00 P.M.
#18 Oklahoma State(6-1) at #15 Texas Tech(7-1)
This should be a good one. Oklahoma State is propelled by an explosive offense led by junior RB Desmond Roland and Sophomore duel threat QB J.W. Walsh. Tech also has a great offense which is 3rd in the nation in passing yards, led by freshman QB's Davis Webb and Baker Mayfield. Tech is coming off of their first loss at Oklahoma. I think Oklahoma State wins this one on the road lead by their offense and because I think they are a better team.

Prediction: Oklahoma State 41, Texas Tech 38

I will pick the FSU-Miami game, the biggest of the week, in a separate article. Other top 25 games for this week include: #4 Ohio State at lowly Purdue, #8 Clemson at Virginia, Tennessee at #9 Missouri, #11 Auburn at Arkansas, UTEP at #12 Texas A&M, Mississippi State at #14 South Carolina, Nevada at #16 Fresno State, #17 Northern Illinois at UMASS, and Colorado at #20 UCLA.

That's it for this article. Thanks for reading.
