The College Football season rolls on with action every week! 

Tennessee's HUGE upset victory over Alabama sent shockwaves through the SEC and all College Football!

Georgia toyed with their opponent.

Michigan continues to roll as they outlast Penn State.

USC fell to Utah and from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Another winning week is in the books at 9-7. If you are not tailing by now, what are you waiting for?

We move along to Week 8, where there are several intriguing match-ups. Without further adieu, let's dive in!

WEEK 8:

Syracuse Orangemen at Clemson Tigers (-13.5)

Clemson continues their march to the College Football Final 4. Syracuse poses one of the challenges remaining for the Tigers. The Orangemen have been tough all year, and although Clemson will be victorious at home, Syracuse gives them a tough time and covers. Take the points.

Duke Blue Devils at Miami (FL) Hurricanes (-8)

The Hurricanes have had an up-and-down season, so they are tough to trust. Duke doesn't pose much of a threat. Take the Hurricanes.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Ohio State Buckeyes (-28.5)

Iowa can't hang with the Buckeyes in this one. Ohio State and Michigan are prepared for a collision course once again.

Kansas Jayhawks at Baylor Bears (-7.5)

The Jayhawks have been a fun story. Unfortunately, that's all it was. Baylor has too much speed for the Kansas defense to contend. Take the Bears.

Northwestern Wildcats at Maryland Terrapins (-14)

Maryland has the firepower to be dominant at times. The Terps haven't put it all together yet. At home, Maryland puts together their most complete effort of the season. Maryland covers with ease in this one.

UCLA Bruins at Oregon Ducks (-6)

The Chip Kelly Bowl! Chip Kelly's current team, the UCLA Bruins, takes on his former team, the Oregon Ducks. UCLA has performed well all season long, so it's tempting to lean on the Bruins. The Oregon crowd will be up for this one. I'm taking the Ducks to pull away late.

Boston College Eagles at Wake Forest Demon Deacons (-20.5)

Boston College cannot hang with Wake Forest for four quarters. This game will be over at halftime. Take Wake.

Texas Longhorns (-6) at Oklahoma State Cowboys

Texas has been one of the more up-and-down programs of 2022. How will the Longhorns respond to a hostile crowd in Stillwater? I'm taking Texas here to get it done.

Ole Miss Rebels at LSU Tigers (-1.5)

LSU was impressive last week in a victory over Florida. Ole Miss seems like a team on a mission this year. Something has to give. I'm taking the Rebels to earn a hard-fought victory in Death Valley.

Minnesota Golden Gophers at Penn State Nittany Lions (-5)

How will Penn State respond following a loss to Michigan? The Nittany Lions do just that--respond and win convincingly over Minnesota.

Kansas State Wildcats at TCU Horned Frogs (-3.5)

I have been impressed with TCU all season long. The Horned Frogs' momentum continues in this one as they outpace the Wildcats.

Pittsburgh Panthers at Louisville Cardinal (-1)

I have been picking the Malik Cunningham-led Cardinal all season long. I'm not going against them now. Take Louisville.

Colorado Buffalos at Oregon State Beavers (-24)

Oregon State has been one of the more underrated programs in College Football this season. Coming off of an impressive victory last week, the Beavers have no problem obliterating Colorado in this one.

Texas A&M Aggies (-3.5) at South Carolina Gamecocks

Texas A&M is a stronger, more fundamentally sound football team than South Carolina. The Aggies wear down the Gamecocks in this one. Take Texas A&M.

Mississippi State Bulldogs at Alabama Crimson Tide (-21)

Alabama knows they have work to do if they want to contend for the College Football Final 4. Style points count and the Crimson Tide pile it on late.

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors at Colorado State Rams (-5)

Hawaii shocked many of us with a win over Nevada this past weekend. I'm not buying an encore. I'll take Colorado State in this one.
