Mississippi State's Kamario Taylor might be the breakout player of the 2026 season. He has the Bulldogs playing well. Mississippi State should be able to handle the Missouri Tigers at home
Oregon has already suffered one of the worst losses of the young 2026 season. But the USC Trojans' defense looked vulnerable against Rutgers last week. I think Oregon has a slight edge in this game on the strength of its offense
Texas A&M and LSU are both coming off of their first losses of the season. Marcel Reed and Sam Leavitt have about the same total usage and EPA this season. My model likes the Tigers slightly at home
Lanoris Sellers and the South Carolina Gamecocks travel to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama. Keelon Russell finished the Florida State game with 4 total touchdowns. The Tide should take care of things at home
Bryce Underwood has been disappointing at times, but he leads Michigan in passing and rushing and has led the Wolverines to an undefeated season. However, Iowa has a strong defense. My model thinks the Hawkeyes pull off the road upset
Devon Dampier and the Utah offense take on a good Iowa State defense. Will Beni Ngoyi and the Cyclone secondary slow down Dampier? My model thinks Utah wins
Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss are coming off an emotional win against LSU. The Florida Gators offense has been strong to start the 2026 season. My model likes the Gators in the Swamp
Oklahoma's offense has struggled this season and John Mateer has been disappointing. It will be tough for the Sooners to get right against the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens
NC State is coming off one of the most heartbreaking losses in the history of college football. CJ Baily and the Wolfpack should bounce back against App State this week
