Games To Watch: Week No. 7

#21 Florida State versus Wake Forest
Thursday @ 7:30 PM ET on ESPN
Wake Forest went all the way to the Orange Bowl last year, a place where the Seminoles used to find themselves each year unless they played for the championship. The Demon Deacons have already beat Maryland and given BC a run for its money. As his first road game since taking over this season, this game will be a test for Florida State’s QB Xavier Lee. But ever since the Seminole offense has found rhythm, its defense has lost some. The Seminoles had better be firing on all cylinders against this dangerous team.

#23 Tennessee versus Mississippi State
Saturday @ 2:30 PM ET on GAMEPLAN
Mississippi State is one of those teams that you’d better be prepared for. They will sneak in an upset win. But our thoughts that Tennessee was in for a bad season were extinguished last week when they blew by Georgia. The Vols have won 4 of the last 7 in this series. Mississippi State looks to change that.
Picks—Randall: Tennessee Erick: Tennessee Chris: Tennessee

#1 LSU versus #17 Kentucky
Saturday @ 3:30 PM ET on CBS
Kentucky couldn’t hang with South Carolina’s defense. They’ll be mortified against LSU’s. Going into Lexington, this will be the Tigers toughest road game so far this season. And with the upset bug is going around this is a must-watch. I wonder if LSU has the immune system to fight it off.
Picks—Randall: LSU Erick: LSU Chris: LSU

#4 Boston College versus Notre Dame
Saturday 3:30 PM ET on NBC
Thus far, the seasons for these two squads contrast as much as black and white. The Irish managed their very first win of the season last week. But they’ll hit a brick wall on Saturday when they face 6-0 BC. Everyone knows how good Matt Ryan and BC are playing. And everyone knows how bad Jimmy Clausen and ND are playing. A win against BC would certainly do a big part in salvaging a nightmare of a season.

#11 Missouri versus #6 Oklahoma
Saturday 6:30 PM ET on ABC
Missouri is on a roll. They just destroyed Nebraska. Oklahoma just destroyed Texas after being destroyed by Colorado. For the Sooners, there’s no room for the same mistakes they made against Colorado. Missouri is way much better than Colorado. But the Sooners are the toughest team Missouri has faced this season. Missouri averages more total yards, while Oklahoma scores more points. The Sooners defense against Missouri’s offense will decide this one.

#19 Wisconsin versus Penn State
Saturday 3:30 PM ET on ABC
Off-field problems aren’t the only things Penn State should be worried about. They’ll have an on-field problem Saturday afternoon. Wisconsin looks to bounce back from losing to Illinois. Penn State has lost their last two, and they take on Wisconsin without RB Austin Scott. With that and the problems they have on offense, Penn State faces an uphill battle.
