On Tennessee vs. Florida
No. 8 Tennessee returns home to face the Florida Gators on Saturday night in Neyland Stadium. Indeed, this is a must-win game for head football coach Josh Heupel and his Tennessee Volunteers. The Vols are coming off a brutal loss on the road at Arkansas last weekend where the whole offense struggled outside of star tailback Dylan Sampson. Now, redshirt freshman star quarterback Nico Iamaleava returns home for his first big home game as a Vol. Tennessee should ultimately beat the Gators something like 34-27 in this ball game.
On LSU Vs. Ole Miss
This is going to be a very interesting ball game. The Tigers could easily have two losses and should have lost to South Carolina few weeks ago. LSU is a hard team to read as a whole with Harold Perkins Jr. out for the season and the offense looking good not great. Ole Miss righted the ship last week and need the victory to stay alive in the CFP hunt. This is a huge game for Lane Kiffin and his Rebels as they are a rare away favorite in Baton Rouge on Saturday night.
On Oregon Vs. Ohio State
These two teams could both win the national championship this season. Neither result would be surprising. However, both have B+ older quarterbacks in Will Howard and Dillon Gabriel. Both have left a lot to be desired in the first half of the season. However, both are surrounded by elite talent everywhere you look. The Buckeyes defense and ground game have been elite. To win at Oregon on Saturday night, though, the Buckeyes are going to have to win through the air with Jeremiah Smith, Egbuka and Tate out wide. Huge spot for Howard on the road in the toughest game of the season for the former Kansas State quarterback.
