Last week was pretty good for me, going 6-2. I like my chances this week, but I admit I'm picking a few upsets. Here are my picks for the CU Independent.
Season: 33-23; Last week: 6-2
No. 23 Boston College 10 at North Carolina 13
Boston College cracked the AP Top 25 after last week’s win, while North Carolina looks to be slipping. I like the Tar Heels to come back and get a win against their ACC foe.
No. 8 Texas Tech 45 at No. 19 Kansas 20
Kansas is still a talented team as the Jayhawks have shown all season, but their defense will be no match for the Red Raiders' high-powered offense.
No. 9 Georgia 27 at No. 11 LSU 24
If there were ties in college football, I would say this would be one of those, but since there aren't, I like the Bulldogs to squeak past the Bayou Bengals.
No. 7 Oklahoma State 47 at No. 1 Texas 45
