Ya I agree. As much as I would love to finish 1st for some bragging rights, I much prefer these crazy ass weeks with crazy ass upsets. It's what makes college football great.

If LSU loses, icing on the cake.

Definitely good point. I sure did enjoy some of these upsets.

That confident or just homerism? Be honest...because I don't know who to pick for that matchup. I have TTech with 3 points atm.

I did the same thing and I would say it is a lot of both.

Tech's defense for the most part has looked good this year. Oklahoma can't seem to pass down field. I am confident they will stack the box and force Bell to beat them with his arm. Tech's offense has had some turnover problems that could bite them in the ass, but with how Oklahoma's run defense has looked I am fairly confident Tech will be able to move the ball down the field pretty much at will.

Jace Amaro, the best tight end in the country, probably can't be stopped and Bradley Marquez, Eric Ward, and Jakeem Grant are excellent play makers to complement him. There are a few decent playmakers behind them as well, namely Sadale Foster(who is used as a tailback from time to time) and Reginald Davis(who has some Crabtree-like plays on the year). The run game has picked up a bit the last few weeks with 2 sometimes 3 players splitting the carries fairly effectively.

Defensive line will probably play well if Dartwan Bush is back this week and open up things for linebackers Will Smith, Sam Eguavoen Pete Robertson, and Terrence Bullitt, who leads the nation in PBUs for linebackers. Tre Porter is an above average safety. Bruce Jones, although short, has been very good in coverage and rarely gets thrown to anymore. Falemi, opposite Jones, was decent until he racked up multiple PIs last week. The biggest weakness on defense, assuming the ball hawking safety JJ Gaines doesn't play, is our safety opposite Porter. Tanner Jacobson is a white walkon true freshman safety who will probably get picked on in the passing game along with Falemi. However, since I have no trust in Blake Bell's mid-long range passing game I don't think it will be a huge problem.

Tech before last weekend led the nation in the number of 3 and outs forced. I am unsure if that is still the case. Their offense is second behind Oregon in plays of 10+ yards.

If Tech can keep the mistakes to a minimum(botched punts, interceptions, fumbles, not allowing huge special teams plays) I think they will probably win by at least 10.

I always pick Tech for 10 points

If I wasn't a homer? I would pick them for 2-3 points
