NCAA Week 8

Biggest NCAA play card yet this year so a little bit quicker write-ups. Here we go!

West Virginia +5.5
WV goes up against the 16th ranked Texas Tech this week. Texas has been on a roll and climbing up the offensive and defensive rankings, but that just may be their downfall this week. They haven't had to face a string opponent since week 3 when they beat TCU. I don't think Texas will know how to react in a close game. Look for WV to give em a tough game.

Baylor Over 76 (-115)
When there is a spread of 33 favouring a team, like Baylor this week, it;s hard not to consider the over. Iowa St. is not a strong team and Baylor is putting up points at will. On ESPN: PTI this past week, the boys discussed how this Baylor offence may be the best Baylor offence, EVER! Sorry RGIII.

Clemson +3 
Hands down, this is the game of the week. This is the one everyone has been waiting for, including the Clemson faithful. #5 Florida St. comes in to face the #3 Tigers. All year the Tigers haven't been given enough respect in the book and as an underdog in their own stadium, this week is no different. I love the Tigers at home, I have them to win straight-up.

South Carolina -8
Tennessee has been getting better and better, despite last week's tough loss to Georgia. With Clowney back, the Cocks are ready to feast on their opponents and climb back up that board. I think the biggest aspect of this game is Carolina's balanced offence, I can't see Tennessee stopping it.

Washington +3 
 Much like Clemson, Washington doesn't get enough respect. Sure they lost to Stanford and Oregon in their past two games, but who wouldn't!? I think they come out guns blazin against the Sun Devils and get back to winning. Before those two losses, they were 4-0 and the surprise of the SEC.

UCLA +5
After the Clemson game, this is the game that grabs my attention the most. But hey, Im a sucker for some good SEC ball. And that's what we'll get with this game. The 5-0 Bruins catch Stanford at a good time, having just lost an upset to Utah. Some may say last week was a fluke, but Stanford has some issues on the offence. Their passing offence is 89th in the league, sub-par at best. And their running game is 42nd. That's not up to SEC standards and the Bruins crush Stanford in those two stats by a mile. Take the big bad Bruins.
