INDIANAPOLIS- Saturday will pose some key matchups, with most of the good games coming early in the day. Here is a look at the best 5 matchups of the day.
#5 Texas @ Texas Tech
It's a battle of in state rivals in which the Red Raiders of Texas Tech have a chance to ruin Texas' national championship hopes. This game could be close and come down to the final quarter, but I see the Longhorns stepping up to the challenge and controlling Texas Tech.
Final Score: Texas 44 Texas Tech 17
#8 Tennessee @ South Carolina
There is a reason why this game is on ESPN primetime. This should be the game of the day, with the Gamecocks having a good shot since they are at home. Tennessee is coming off of a close win against Alabama and are likely to be upset. I think the Volunteers will answer the call and remain in the hunt for a BCS bowl.
Final Score: Tennessee 27 South Carolina 20
#19 Oklahoma @ #23 Missouri
This is the only game of the day in which ranked teams will square off against each other. I think it will be a close game, but with the fact that this game is played in Missouri and Adrian Peterson is out for the Sooners, I see a big Tiger win.
Final Score: Missouri 30 Oklahoma 20
Miami (FL) @ #21 Georgia Tech
We all know about the Hurricanes. This is their "thugs" first game back after a drawn out 1 game suspension for their roles in the FIU brawl. Georgia Tech will be ready for Miami and beat the crap out of them. There is plenty of motivation there for the Yellow Jackets.
Final Score: Georgia Tech 38 Miami 13
Michigan State @ Indiana
These two teams are going to be fighting like anything to get a win. Both teams need 2 more wins to become bowl eligable, with pretty tough remaining schedules. The winner of this game could very well be on their way to a bowl, something that would be a step in the right direction for 2 struggling programs. I think the Hoosiers will play with more passion and come up with a close victory.
Final Score: Indiana 34 Michigan State 31
