This week is one of the few weeks in the year where we don’t talk to some of our best friends. We don’t surf the web too liberally or watch the television too closely. We just kind of wait for Saturday. Welcome our guest Lauren Bryant from the BG women’s track team.

BG @ Buffalo (BG -1)

Colin Wilson, Sports Editor: I’ll refuse to live the day that I would pick Buffalo to beat BG. Kind of like I’d refuse to make out with Jessica Alba in a Buckeyes jersey. BG 41, Buffalo 24

Chris Voloschuk, Assistant Sports Editor: BG’s defense is in need of a statement game, and I feel like this will be that game.BG 31, Buffalo 10

Brian Szabelski, Web Editor: BG can’t win the East, but they can still make a strong case for a bowl bid by beating Buffalo and Toledo to finish out the season. BG 28, Buffalo 24

Lauren Bryant, BG Track: Tyler is more physical and running ball well. Our defense is staying strong. We’re stepping up and making plays during crunch time. BG 45, Buffalo 37

No. 7 Ohio State @ No. 21 Michigan (Ohio State -3.5)

Colin Wilson, Sports Editor: Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson, Tim Biakabatuka, Braylon Edwards, Chris Perry, Serenity NOW! Michigan 24, Ohio State 20

Chris Voloschuk, Assistant Sports Editor: OSU will win this game on the sole fact that Tressel owns LLLoyd Carr. Wait, after Saturday’s game, LLLoyd will be spelled LLLLoyd. Bucks 27, Michigan 17

Brian Szabelski, Web Editor: These two teams will go the wire, but I have a passionate hatred of U of M and the Buckeyes still have a killer defense. Ohio State 25, Michigan 24

Lauren Bryant, BG Track: Sorry, I am not an Ohio State fan! 🙂 Michigan 34, Ohio State 0

No. 6 West Virginia @ No. 22 Cincinnati (West Virginia -6.5)

Colin Wilson, Sports Editor: If I hear Paul MacGuire talk about Slaton and White nickel and diming people I might pull an O.J. The first time that is. West Virginia 34, Cincinnati 21

Chris Voloschuk, Assistant Sports Editor: What will be even more enjoyable will be the week after OSU’s win, where LLLLoyd Carr announces his retirement. West Virginia 28, Cincinnati 24

Brian Szabelski, Web Editor:My old high school’s football team is in the state semifinals. Their star QB is going to Cincinnati in the fall. That’s my only logic right now. Cincinnati 23, West Virginia 21

Lauren Bryant, BG Track: Lauren didn’t answer this one so I’ll do it for her. BG track is awesome and Ohio State is not. West Virginia 25, Cincinnati 21

No. 23 Kentucky @ No. 9 Georgia (Georgia -7.5)

Colin Wilson, Sports Editor: Andre Woodson has as good a chance of winning a Heisman as Britney Spears has at getting a new job as a nanny. Georgia 28, Kentucky 17

Chris Voloschuk, Assistant Sports Editor: P.S., Ryan Mallet has played even worse, so who’s the best option at quarterback? I’d say Mike Hart. Georgia 29, Kentucky 23

Brian Szabelski, Web Editor: Georgia is on the path to a berth in the SEC Championship game. The Bulldogs will move a step closer with a win. Georgia 33, Kentucky 20

Lauren Bryant, BG Track: Georgia is one of the best teams in the SEC. They are VERY young and versitle. Georgia 34, Kentucky 26

No. 17 Boston College @ No. 15 Clemson (Clemson -7.5)

Colin Wilson, Sports Editor: Matt Ryan has a better chance at winning a Heisman than Andre Woodson. And Todd Boeckman for that matter. Clemson 17, BC 10

Chris Voloschuk, Assistant Sports Editor: Chad Henne should’ve gone pro after last season, because he’s so awful that his draft stock dips by the millisecond. BC 21, Clemson 20

Brian Szabelski, Web Editor: After falling off the face of the Earth, the BC picks up a win over Clemson that reminds people they still have Matt Ryan. BC 30, Clemson 17

Lauren Bryant: This is going to be a tight game. No. 16 and No. 18 in the nation. But I think that the underdog is going to prevail. Clemson 36, BC 35

No. 16 Hawaii @ Nevada (No Line)

Colin Wilson, Sports Editor: If you watch the Wolf Pack’s offense it kind of resembles BG’s. If you watch Hawaii’s it kind of represents the way I play Madden. Hawaii 42, Nevada 31

Chris Voloschuk, Assistant Sports Editor: After the Michigan loss, will Mike Hart cry during the press conference? He should’ve gone pro along with Henne. Nevada 35, Hawaii 34

Brian Szabelski, Web Editor: Colt Brennan is back and the Warriors will win, but they’d better enjoy it. Boise State will crush them next week.Hawaii 37, Nevada 30

Lauren Bryant, BG Track: This is going to be a tight game because Hawaii’s QB is hurt. I think the team might suffer without him healthy. Nevada 35, Hawaii 30
