The main player to watch in this one is Lamar Jackson, our top (and most sports folks) pick. The kid is just on fire this year. Almost 2,000 yards passing, 15 passing touchdowns, 15 rushing touchdowns and almost 1,000 yards rushing? Barring a big loss, it’s really hard to see Jackson not coming away with the win.</p> <p>Both of us are not big on Barrett. He’s a good player and good for OSU, but is he flashy enough for the committee? Who are your top contenders?</p> <h2>Games To Watch</h2> <ul> <li>#6 Texas A&M at #1 Alabama – 3:30 CBS <ul> <li><strong>J – A&M </strong></li> <li><strong>G – Bama</strong></li> </ul> </li> <li>#17 Arkansas at #21 Auburn – 6:00 ESPN <ul> <li><strong>J – Auburn </strong></li> <li><strong>G – Arkansas</strong></li> </ul> </li> <li>#23 Ole Miss at #25 LSU – 9:00 ESPN <ul> <li><strong>J – Ole Miss </strong></li> <li><strong>G – LSU</strong></li> </ul> </li> <li>NC State at #7 Louisville – noon ABC <ul> <li>J – Louisville</li> <li>G – NC State</li> </ul> </li> <li>Idaho at Appalachian State – 3:30 ESPN3 <ul> <li>J – App State</li> <li>G – Idaho</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>UPSET SPECIALS:<br> <strong>Geoff:</strong> Memphis over #24 Navy – 3:30 CBSS<br> <strong>John:</strong> Iowa over #10 Wisconsin</p> <h2>How’d we do last week</h2> <p>Duke – 14 at #7 Louisville – 24 – J – Louisville – G – Louisville<br> #1 Alabama – 49 at #9 Tennessee – 10 – J – Bama – G – Bama<br> #12 Ole Miss -30 at #22 Arkansas – 34 – J – Arkansas – G – Ole Miss<br> #2 Ohio State – 30OT at #8 Wisconsin – 23 J – OSU G – OSU<br> Appalachian State – 24 at Louisiana Lafayette – 0 J – App State G – Ragin Cajuns</p> <p>UPSET SPECIALS:<br> Johns: Akron Zips – 0 over #24 WMU – 41<br> Geoff: Texas Tech Red Raiders – 17 over #20 West Virginia – 48</p> <p>J- 2-3, 2-3, 4-1, 4-1, 2-3, 1-4, 5-0 = 20-15 (0-1)<br> G- 3-2, 5-0, 3-2 1-4, 4-1, 3-2, 3-2 = 22-13 (0-1)</p>
