Auburn vs. Alabama Prediction Highlights
The Auburn defense is just too much for Alabama to handle as the Tigers cause several key Crimson Tide turnovers to hold on for the victory in the in-state rivalry. Linebacker Karlos Dansby is all over the field reeking havoc on the Alabama offense, stripping RB Shaud Williams of the ball, which is recovered by Auburn teammate Dontarrious Thomas late in the fourth quarter.

With Alabama unable to make a goal line stand, Carvell Williams busts through the line for a 1-yard TD. Tigers beat the Crimson Tide 27-24. Passing

Nebraska vs. Colorado Prediction Highlights
Trying to keep the ball away from the explosive Nebraska offense, Colorado played ball-control football throughout the first half, relying on running back Brian Calhoun to be the workhorse. Unfortunately the Cornhuskers Jamal Lord ran all over the Colorado defense and distributed the ball to a plethora of receivers to keep the Buffalos defense guessing. With five minutes on the clock Colorado's quarterback Joel Klatt drove his team down the field in desperation and scored on a spectacular throw to Derek McCoy for a 33-yard touchdown pass. After an unsuccessful onside kick, Nebraska was able to run out the clock and beat Colorado 30-27. Passing

Florida vs. Florida St. Prediction Highlights
The game was an offensive shootout between the two rivals. It was the Rix/Jones show in the first half with the Seminoles showing an impressive running game. Jones had his way and manhandled the Gators defense rushing for 65 yards in the first half. In the second half Florida quarterback Chris Leak picked up the pace by utilizing the talents of wide receivers Carlos Perez and Kelvin Kight and tight end Ben Troupe to spread out the Seminoles defense allowing Ran Carthon to get some much needed rushing yards. The game came down to the wire, but the potent Florida offense and freshman sensation Chris Leak were just too much for the Florida St. defense to handle. Gators seal the victory winning 34-30. Passing
Florida-Leak-31 of 40, 203 yards, 2 TD
Florida St.-Rix-25 of 37, 248 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT Rushing
