I think this week games, defines, who will play NC game. however, this is just not only the factor. If you all remmember 2008 season, where OU went to play NC game, beating Longhorns in all polls, although longhorn won that season with OU. There are so many teams playing this week aganist each other ranking teams that its hatrd to predict.

No doubt, OU vs. TEXAS is the game of the week. Will be close game, both are not playing to their standards. But if TEXAS lose, they are out of the picture for NC game. My upset prediction are

Clemson over no.16 Maima;

Well, I would not consider this upset, But VT might(grt possibility) beat no.25 North Carolina State.

And, if history repeats itself, then OU should win this game. In last six years, LongHorns has won 4 games and lost 2 games with OU. Everytime they lost with OU, they have lost in the previous week.I think, the game will be OU offense vs TEXAS defense.

Stanfford (9) vs no.4 oregon will b fun to watch. Oregon has the real test of the season, While Stanffford past it last week by beating ND.

And finally, I think no.1 Alabama will crush Florida(7). there is no way Florida will win this game, if they played, the way they have beeng playing this season. But, Florida is improving real fast, and Urban knows how to win games, no matter how the team plays in first 3 quaters.
