Game Picks 11/7

#9 LSU at #3 Alabama
I've said it before and I'll say it again: LSU has been the most overrated team in the country over the past two years. They finished the regular season last year at 7-5 and yet were still ranked up until two weeks before the season ended. This year, their best win came in Athens against a mediocre-at-best Georgia team and that only happened because of a BS celebration penalty on UGA receiver AJ Green. In their only game against a good opponent this year, LSU got demolished at home against Florida, 13-3, and it wasn't even that close. Alabama's defense is better than Florida's and unlike that game, this one's not in Baton Rouge. 'Bama's defense will dominate LSU's weak offense and while the Tide's offense won't roll(pun intended), it will make enough plays behind Heisman candidate, RB Mark Ingram, and they will beat LSU 23-3.

#15 Ohio State at #11 Penn State
Terrelle Pryor returns to western Pennsylvania where he grew up and was a high school star. Last year the Nittany Lions forced a key 4th quarter Terrelle Pryor fumble that led to a game winning touchdown that kept Penn State undefeated. This game will be a defensive struggle as it features two of the stoutest D's in the country against two quarterbacks that have struggled in games against good defenses. The difference for these two talented QB's will be the their receiving corps and I believe that Pryor has a better one than Clark with Small, Posey, Sanzanbacher, and Carter. I think the Buckeye's defense will force a couple turnovers off of Daryll Clark and Terrelle Pryor will make enough plays to his including some with his legs to be the difference in a 15-10 Ohio State win.
