Pretty good week again last week, as I went 19–2 and very nearly got the score correct on both the Connecticut/Notre Dame and Ole Miss/LSU games. I picked the Texas/TA&M winner on my Twitter feed last night (I had Texas, 45–14), so I’m 1–0 on the week but not close on the score. The week prior (I wasn’t able to recapitulate my stats because of the conference), I was 17–3, nailing the UNC/Miami “upset” (and nearly getting the score right) and the UCF “upset” of Houston, though I was surprised by the Stanford/USC beatdown. Here are this week’s games:

Florida 38, Florida State 24: FSU has a puncher’s chance because their offense could explode against the Gators, and UF’s offense hasn’t been especially impressive this year (teams can just play them inside-out and force UF to beat them with their receivers outside the numbers, where they don’t have the playmakers they did last year), but I don’t think FSU’s defense holds up enough to win. With Christian Ponder healthy, I’d definitely have this one closer, but E.J. Manuel is still about two years from being a truly polished passer. Look for UF to force FSU to throw downfield more than they’d like, which will lead to some mistakes.
