Feature Picks:
Alabama over Auburn, 30-24
A much smarter, stronger alabama team will beat an inconsistent auburn team that has had trouble sustaining success. An upset is very possible, but the likelihood is incredibly low, especially because they have to play on the road. Blake Sims is beginning to play extremely well, so it will be up to alabama's defense, and if they can consistently get off the field. In that environment, I think they can and will.
Wisconsin over Minnesota, Melvin Gordon-14
254 Rush, 2109 Yds, 25 TDs for melvin gordon. I have said it already and I will say it again because I am sick of saying it, if Melvin Gordon does not win the heisman what does it take to earn it? There is NO PLAYER in college football that has been more valuable to his team this year than Melvin Gordon in terms of how many wins they would lose without him. Melvin Gordon is Wisconsin's offense, and he is incredible. He gets the ball every play and averages OVER 8 YARDS PER CARRY. Wisconsin literally can't throw the ball - look early in the season - yet he is still just churning out yards like its nothing. He is averaging almost 200 yards per game, and in the last 6 he is well over 200. Give melvin gordon the heisman. For a guy who accounts for even more of his offense than a QUARTERBACK that is "by far the best right now" (mariota), he only deserves it.
Ole Miss over Mississippi State, 10-9
Playing football like its the 1950s here. Two absurd defenses match up against inconsistent, struggling qbs and decent running games to create what will be a field position slugfest that may be determined solely by the consistency and performance of the special teams. Seriously, this will be like 2011 LSU vs Alabama.
