This week is easily the most intriguing week of the season in college football. There are two matchups between two top 10 teams in the SEC. The Catholics v.s. Convicts rivalry is renewed when Miami and Notre Dame go at it at Soldier Field. There will also be a showdown in the Big 12 with two high flying offenses in West Virginia and Texas gun it out it Austin. Washington looks to play spoiler again this week to Oregon. This weekend's games have anything you could ask for in strong defenses, high octane offenses, and deadly special teams. Let's start out in Chicago where Miami and Notre Dame will play in the regular season for the first time since 1990. The Fighting Irish come in unbeaten and ranked at #9. Miami has a very good QB in Stephen Morris. ND has a very strong defense lead by Manti Te'o. However, this Miami offense matches up well against ND. The Hurricanes will give ND a scare, but I think the Irish will find a way to win this game. The game in the Big 12 that everyone is excited to see is between Texas and West Virginia. West Virginia's offense is coming off a huge win in what they put up video game numbers. However, their defense let up 63 points in their 70-63 win. Texas has a very good offense lead by David Ash. Texas has a nice running attack and a strong defense. I think that the Longhorns will come out on top. LSU and Florida will go at it in the Swamp. This Florida team has looked very impressive in their first few games. I think that the defense will force pressure on Zach Mettenberger. I think that the Gator fans will go home happy as Florida upsets LSU. The SEC game that the whole country is looking forward to is between Georgia and South Carolina. Both teams have very good offenses. Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw carry the Gamecocks' offense with their running attack. The Bulldogs' offense relies on Aaron Murray's arm. "Aaron Murray is under the radar entering the season. By the end of the season, he will be contending for the Heisman Trophy and and SEC Championship. When it comes down to it, I think it will be Georgia and Alabama in the SEC Championship game."

I picked Georgia to win the SEC this year, it might be tough, but I am staying with it. - M Dog's World os Sports College Football Preview 8/23/12
To wrap up the night, Oregon and Washington will go at it in Autzen. Washington is coming off a huge win last Thursday and has had 8 days to prepare for the Ducks' offense. However, I think that oregon will remain undefeated at the end of the night. You will not see another week of college football like this is a while so enjoy it tonight.
