Weekly Report October 24, 2007

-Just over 24 hours until the real big game of the week-Virginia Tech and Boston College. For BC it is simple, a win gives them dominance in the ACC-for V-Tech, it is righting the ship. However this may be a harbinger of things to come as there could be a rematch in Jacksonville for the ACC Title. VT QB Tyrod Taylor is doubtful, so Sean Glennon must make the plays for the Hokies, who still have BCS Title Game hopes.

-USC has a shot to get back in the National Title Hunt, and a win over Oregon might put the Trojans in the Top 5. Mark Sanchez is expected to once again start for the Trojans. Dennis Dixon however might be able to use this game as a springboard for his Heisman hopes. Expect this to be a high scoring slugfest to the very end.

-UConn vs South Florida. Now who would have thought this might determine the Big East at the start of the year? UConn got a gift last Friday from BE Refs on the fair catch, and South Florida is aching after the loss to Rutgers. The winner is in control of their own destiny in this now wide open conference.

-Happy Valley hosts the Buckeyes in the primetime clash on ABC. Penn St looked shaky in last weeks win over Indiana, but the Hoosiers did expose some weaknesses in the Nittany Lions D, while Ohio St has the BEST D in the country. Expect a classic style Big 10 clash.

-It is the World's Largest Cocktail party in J'ville as the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs clash. Lets just put it this way-if Georgia can stay within 4 TD's of Florida it will be a moral win for the Bulldogs, who have not looked like themselves since UT pasted them a few weeks ago. They struggled with Vandy 2 weeks ago, and hopefully the open date allowed them to solve crucial mistakes and get healthy. Florida QB Tim Tebow is nursing a sore right shoulder, but will be good to go.

-Upset of the Week:

Penn St over Ohio St-yes the Buckeyes have a great D, but Penn St has had the Buckeys number in Happy Valley lately.

-Sure Bet:

Florida over Georgia-Since 1990, Florida has dominated the series, and this year's match up is no exception.
