This upcoming weekend is full of intriguing, bowl affecting games. The USC Trojans try to avoid being upset for the second straight week as they battle the Oregon Ducks. USC’s loss doesn’t look as bad since three other teams in the top 10 were upset last weekend as well. The number one ranked Oklahoma Sooners travel to play the Baylor Bears, where they shouldn’t have any trouble. Staying in the Big 12, the Missouri Tigers travel to Nebraska to battle it out against the Cornhuskers, a place where the Tigers haven’t won since 1978. Another big game involves the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Wisconsin Badgers. Ohio State travels to Madison, where the Badgers are nearly unbeatable at Camp Randle.
The most intriguing game of the weekend has to be between Auburn and, hold your breath, the VANDERBILT COMMODORES. Yes, Vanderbilt is undefeated and setting at the top of the SEC East. The 19th ranked are 4 and 0 and have a chance to go to 5 and 0, with an upset of Auburn in Nashville. The Commodores are known more for their GPA not for their football prowess. The Tigers have never played a ranked Vanderbilt team and if Vanderbilt wins it will be the first time they have gone 5 and 0 since the Eisenhower administration. The keys to Vanderbilt’s success have been sound quarterback play from quarterback Chris Nickson (three touchdowns to no interceptions) and a defense that leads the nation in turnover margin. This is a great story and best of luck to the Vanderbilt Commodores.
