Perfect Play---Alabama
Bama has a defensive backfield that can stop anybody against the run. The Crimson Tide allowed one big Nick Chubb run when Georgia was hopelessly out of the game, and that’s been about it. Wisconsin – 40 yards. Arkansas – 44 yards. Texas A&M – 25 carries for 32 yards. Alabama has had two weeks to figure out how to gang up on Leonard Fournette. Alabama has won four straight in the series starting with the 2012 BCS Championship and with last year’s 20-13 thriller one of the best games of the 2014 season. Expect nothing less. The front seven will contain Fournette. Look for this to be the most intense game Sabin has put together. he lost at home to Ole Miss and will not lose this one. The Tide will pull away in an impressive, statement-game performance with Larry Coker leading the way. This game may be more about quarterbacks than running backs. Mistake free football favors his leadership. TAKE ALABAMA

Inner Circle---Oklahoma State
Big 12 game of November
Everyone knows about Trevone Boykin, the Baylor quarterback situation, and Baker Mayfield, but Mason Rudolph and the OSU passing game with help from J.W. Walsh as a red zone closer has been ultra-efficient with well over 400 passing yards into of the last four games. The offense is revving up at the right time, and the defense is just disruptive enough to do what it has to for a few key drives here and there. TCU, Baylor, and Oklahoma all come to Stillwater where everyone's destiny unfolds and there’s no excuse for the Cowboys not to be in the playoff considering they have everything set up almost perfectly. This is not a very good Gary Patterson defensive unit and on the road, it will show. Yes there will be a ton of points and OSU has a few weapons of their own. On the Cowboy side of their own defense, look for an all out pass rush to disrupt Boykin. Emmanuel Ogbah and the defensive front have been fantastic at making things happen in the backfield on a regular basis. Josh Doctson was a pain for Oklahoma St last year, but they know exactly what they have to do to slow him down this year because of that experience. TAKE OKLAHOMA St

Pinnacle---Nebraska
NCAA Contrarian Game of the Year
Nebraska QB Tommy Armstrong missed the Purdue game with a toe injury is ready to put on a show to get his team out of this funk. This a night game and with a chance to really and truly be Nebraska again for one night look for the black shirts to be extremely motivated to get a game for their fans against a team that many wouder if they are good or have they been lucky. Michigan St has had trouble playing a complete v=championship quality game this year. Spartans QB, Conner Cook is capable of being stopped. Even tho the Cornhuskers has been losing games. they have heart and have not quit. They still believe that they v=can beat Michigan St, Rutgers and Iowa to get to a major bowl. Armstrong will have to hook up often with WR Jordan Westerkamp to win this game. He drove MSU nuts last year by catching nine passes for a career-high 158 yards. Nebraska is the better team. Now they have to play like it for all four quarters. Spartens struggled against Purdue and caught a miracle against Michigan. What you will see under the lights will be a playoff atmosphere for the Cornhuskers and the crowd in a frenzy trying to get their prime piece of meat and let the nation remember that football has been going thru Nebraska for decades. TAKE NEBRASKA
