Games to watch next
week:
(#2) Ole Miss at
(#14) LSU (7:15 PM EDT, ESPN) LSU has struggled so far this year in an SEC West division stacked with talent. And though LSU's losses to Mississippi State and Auburn are likely enough to take them out of the running of the SEC Championship Game, the Tigers can still play spoilers to Ole Miss next week, especially if the Rebs are thinking about the following week's game against Auburn.
Line: Ole Miss by 9.5
(#23) USC at (#18) Utah (10:00 PM EDT, TBA) Oy vey, what a season in the Pac-12. No team remains undefeated, and nothing goes according to prediction (except that Colorado will lose). USC has won games against Stanford and Arizona that they were supposed to lose and has lost games against Arizona State and Boston College that they were supposed to win. Meanwhile, Utah squeaked by UCLA, lost to Wazzou, and needed two overtimes to top Oregon State. The upshot is that both the Trojans and the Utes have one loss in conference, and anybody (except Colorado) can still win the Pac-12 South. Hopefully, this week will clarify things. Probably not, though.Line: Ole Miss by 9.5
Line: Utah by 3.5
