Missouri isn't playing around with opponents since the Mississippi State game...

Tigers make trip to Staten Island to make light work of the Seahawks..

Pioneers are a team that is very difficult to deal with on any given Saturday

This was an entertaining game last season where the Cyclones nearly upset BYU before the Cougars came back to win by double digits. You won't catch BYU playing with their food this season, as they have CFP aspirations on their mind. Even without stud RB LJ Martin, expect the Cougars to be able to find consistent offense to balance out what will be an excellent output by their defense.

Iowa is coming off a thrilling, last-second victory over Michigan but some of the same concerns reared its ugly head that could spell doom vs Ohio State. Firstly, the passing game of the Wolverines gave the Hawkeyes fits. Now when you insert an excellent passer and elite WR to the mix, you can see the Buckeyes having their way with this secondary.

With potential weather looming in this Memphis/Charlotte game, I believe that actually will have an effect on the 49ers more so than the Tigers. Charlotte struggles to score the ball and will have issues in perfect weather. The fact that the weather could become an issue, will probably stop Memphis from scoring 40-plus, but not stop them from covering a nearly three touchdown spread.

Conference games can be tricky at times, especially on the road. One thing is for sure as the #1 Montana State Bobcats travel to Idaho is that they will pack their defense and their explosiveness on offense. We've seen a bevy of upsets in the FCS this season, but one thing we haven't seen is the Bobcats come into a matchup unprepared and flirting with a loss.

Missouri State has a lot of weaponry on the offensive side of the ball. They are well equipped at both WR and TE in that regard. Defensively, they deploy a lot of personnel throughout the game to stay fresh. SMU is a dynamic team and have a good offense. QB Kevin Jennings is a solid player who is prone to turnovers. I would expect the Bears to find enough plays in this game to keep it under nearly five touchdowns.

When you look at the UMass Minutemen's season so far, you have to be impressed with their consistency. They have gone from hoping to win, to now expecting to win. A lot of that has to do with their coach and their QB Pop Watson. UMass plays mistake free football and that is something that travels extremely well.

While the Razorbacks have looked downright abysmal this season offensively, they still have SEC talent across the board. That is more than enough to make them a 3.5 point favorite playing at home. But we've seen the most consistent effort in this game come from the Tulsa defense all season. There's a lot out in front of Tulsa if they're able to pull off the stunner like they did against Oklahoma State. Expect a tighter game with Tulsa having a chance to win in the 4th QTR.

Missouri QB Austin Simmons has played some really good ball so far this season and will give the Tigers a fighting chance in this conference tilt. Mississippi State's QB Kamario Taylor's play has put him into the Heisman Trophy conversation at this early juncture of the season. What has me liking the Bulldogs cover in this game is how they've been able to manage expectations in concert with how good they are in the trenches.

A lot of the talk entering this game has been about both starting QBs and which one do you trust the most. I believe the talk should be about whether or not the Tigers can slow down the constant, quick interior pressure they are giving up. You would expect coming off of losses that both QBs will be on their best behavior in terms of play, which is why I believe this game will be a lot closer than the spread indicates.

Where the Bulldogs have success is in their discipline and execution. Offensively speaking they are able to generate explosive plays on both ends of offense...and it's constant. Also, they are not the type to beat themselves. All in all, they are in a significantly better spot as a football team than the Wildcats.

With the way the Ragin Cajuns can dictate the terms in the trenches, it yields them the ability to play at a slower paced game. On the other side of the coin, Charlotte has not only struggled defensively but offensively as well. Doesn't seem like a particularly good matchup for the home team.

Last week was the big albatross on the Ole Miss schedule: The "Lane Kiffin Game". Now that is over and done with, this football team can now just play free, using last week's win as a jumping off point to get back to the CFP. Florida is a very good, physical football team and will test the Ole Miss run defense. I understand the point spread respect to the Gators side, but this Ole Miss team is a battle-tested one.
