College Football Pick 'Em

There is some very intriguing matchups in college football today. I am now .500 with my predictions. my season record is 9-9. I am picking the three best games of the day. Two of the games are from the SEC while one is from the PAC-12. Two of the games I am choosing consist of undefeated teams.

#25 Missouri (5-0) vs #7 Georgia (4-1)

Missouri has been the surprising team in the SEC this year. They have had an easier schedule, but their next three games are against ranked teams. Georgia has had to scrape and claw just to get to where they are now. They have won four straight and is coming off a thriller against Tennessee. Aaron Murray has thrown for over 1,500 yards this season and 14 TD for the Bulldogs. Mizzou has a good QB in James Franklin. He has thrown for 13 TD and just over 1,400 yards. He has terrific targets in Dorial Green-Beckham and L'Damian Washington. The Tigers offense is very balanced and puts up plenty of points. They have also ran for 16  TD. Georgia does have the home-field advantage, though. 

My Pick: Missouri 38 Georgia 30 

#17 Florida (4-1) vs #10 LSU (5-1)

Both of these two teams are near the top of the standings in their SEC Divisions. Florida is tied with Georgia and Mizzou atop the East while LSU is 2nd in the West behind #1 Alabama. Zach Mettenberger has been exceptional for LSU this season. He is a dark horse in the Heisman race. With Jeff Driskel injured, backup QB Tyler Murphy has stepped up huge for the Gators. Florida has won their last 3 since a loss to Miami. LSU bounced back last week with a drubbing of Mississippi State after their loss to Georgia. Jeremy Hill has been a beast for LSU with 9 TD. Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry have been Mettenberger's favorite WR. It will be tough to score on this Florida defense that only gives up 12.2 points a game. 

My Pick: LSU 23 Florida 14

#2 Oregon (5-0) vs #16 Washington (4-1)

College Gameday is in Seattle to watch two of the top teams in the PAC-12. Washington is coming off a heartbreaking loss to Stanford off of a questionable call. Keith Price has been terrific this season. Oregon has just steamrolled every single one of their opponents. This matchup showcases at least two Heisman candidates in Marcus Mariota and Keith Price. Mariota has been an absolute beast this season.  Washington will have a very tough time slowing him down. The X-factor for the Huskies is RB Bishop Sankey. He takes such a load and puts up huge numbers. It is always tough to go on the road and beat Washington, but I think Oregon will get it done.
My Pick: Oregon 49 Washington 45
