Week Ten

Week nine saw the end of Kaylee's impressive win streak. Kaylee went 3-3, and I went 5-1. Utah losing hurt me on more than one level. It was a tough loss. Week ten will have Utah on a bye week, but I really want to pick the Colorado vs. UCLA game, so here it is on Thursday.

Utah State at Wyoming

Jordan's Pick: Wyoming Kaylee's Pick: Wyoming

Wyoming has been one of the biggest surprise teams in the nation. They are coming off a huge upset over Boise State. Utah State is having an awful year record-wise. I don't think Utah State will be able to sustain a run game against the Cowboys, which will make them lack a passing game also. Wyoming should win.

BYU at Cincinnati

Jordan's Pick: BYU Kaylee's Pick: BYU

BYU is coming off a bye week, which was good timing for them after an emotional loss to Boise State. Cincinnati is having a rough season against good opponents. I think Jamaal Williams will be able to run all day. Taysom Hill won't have to throw the ball much, which fits perfectly into BYU's strengths. BYU's secondary will have to play well, but I think they will be able to contain Hayden Moore. BYU should win easily.

UCLA at No. 15 Colorado

Jordan's Pick: UCLA Kaylee's Pick: Colorado

This game is incredibly intriguing. Colorado is the lone leader in the Pac-12 South. UCLA is on the verge of not even making a bowl game. UCLA has a great team, but has fallen short on too many games. This game will be on the shoulders of the Bruin defense. I think UCLA's Mike Fafaul will be able to throw over Colorado's defense, forcing Colorado to keep up. I don't think the Buffs will be able to keep up completely. Upset alert!

No. 1 Alabama at No. 13 LSU

Jordan's Pick: Alabama Kaylee's Pick: Alabama

This game should be an incredibly low-scoring affair. Remember LSU beating a team 3-2 a few years ago? That could potentially happen again. I think LSU will be able to contain Jalen Hurts in rushing, but Alabama will keep Leonard Fournette from rushing much also. This game will come down to which quarterback can throw better. I think Hurts will be able to pull off this victory through the air, but it won't be by much.

No. 10 Nebraska at No. 6 Ohio State

Jordan's Pick: Ohio State Kaylee's Pick: Ohio State

A huge battle of Big Ten opponents. Nebraska is coming off of its first loss against Wisconsin. Ohio State is trying to make its way into the top 4 of the College Football Playoff rankings after suffering a loss to Penn State two weeks ago. Nebraska gives up huge amounts of yards and JT Barrett will be able to execute fully. I think Ohio State will win, but I'd be surprised if they cover the 17-point spread.

Georgia Tech at No. 21 North Carolina

Jordan's Pick; North Carolina Kaylee's Pick: Georgia Tech

This is an interesting match up. UNC and GT are both incredibly similar teams. GT runs the ball much better than UNC, but UNC throws the ball much better. I'm going to have to go with North Carolina because passing is going to be a lot easier than the rushing in this game. I think GT will go home looking at another close loss to a ranked team.
