Saturday Selections

You have made it through the week, here's six college football predictions for you...

- Nebraska d. Penn State. Well, this is hard for me to predict but as I said earlier this week.....I don't think the Nittany Lions will be as focused as they need to be for a game like this. Cornhuskers 31-20.
- Auburn d. Georgia. Two ranked SEC teams, shocking huh? An afternoon in between the hedges and the Tigers are going to find a way to win on the road, 21-19.
- Wisconsin d. Minnesota. The Badgers have been rolling most of this season and I don't see any reason why they won't roll past the Gophers. Wisconsin 41-14.
- Stanford d. Oregon. The biggest matchup of the weekend with two Top 10 teams. Andrew Luck will welcome the Ducks and solidify his Heisman run with a 41-35 win.
- Oklahoma St. d. Texas Tech. The Cowboys have their destiny in their own hands to get to the BCS Title Game. This will be a close game but Okla. St. wins 38-34.
- Missouri d. Texas. This is the upset special....Texas has been running the ball very well in recent weeks but the Tigers should get their leading runner back. Missouri wins 27-20.

Fantasy Player of the Day: Kentucky F Anthony Davis
Davis scored 23 points and 10 rebounds in 23 minutes as the Wildcats won their season-opener 109-59 over Marist.

Matchup to Watch: Oregon at Stanford, 7 p.m. (CT), ABC
The fourth-ranked Cardinal host the seventh-ranked Ducks in a game that will decide the Pac-12 North and unless something changes, a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game and possibly a trip to the Rose Bowl.

This Date in History: Nov. 12, 1920
91 years ago, Kenesaw Mountain Landis was named the first baseball commissioner ever. Landis agreed to take the job for seven years at $50,000 a year but ended up doing the job for 24 years until his death in 1944. Landis will be best remembered for the lifetime bans given to the "Black Sox" who threw the 1919 World Series.
