#4 Oklahoma vs West Virginia (7:30 ET FOX) West Virginia brings an explosive passing attack into this home game versus top 5 Oklahoma. Florida State transfer Clint Trickett is third in the nation in passing yards with 1224 in his first 3 games. In last week's win at Maryland Trickett threw for 511 yards and four touchdowns. His favorite target Kevin White is second in the nation in receiving yards with 460. Expect to see sophomore cornerback Zack Sanchez to cover  White for most of the night. Sanchez is tied for the national lead in interceptions with three. West Virginia is 5th national in passing yards and 2nd in completion percentage while the Sooners are 41st in pass defense. Expect the Mountaineers to test the Oklahoma pass defense early and often. Oklahoma will be without star running back Keith Ford which will put a strain on the rushing attack. West Virginia played Alabama tough week 1 so expect a high scoring game that comes down to the wire in Morgantown. Trickett

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst 1. Blake Barnett 6’4/200 (Corona, CA)  Alabama Great feet! Can be just as dangerous outside the pocket as well as inside. Tough player with great size. Can be a starting college quarterback as a freshman or sophomore. 2. Jarrett Stidham 6’3/190 (Stephenville, TX)  Texas Tech Amazing pocket presence. Stidham has great accuracy, size, and release. A spread offense like Texas Tech fits Stidham. 3. Kyler Murray 5’10/180 (Allen, TX)  Texas A&M Undersize but don’t overlook the kid. Have all the intangibles to be a great quarterback. His accuracy, release, and footwork is amazing. Reminds me of Russell Wilson. 4. Brandon Wimbush 6’2/205 (Jersey City, NJ)  Penn State Tough Jersey kid with great feet and very elusive. Needs to work on accuracy. Great raw talent. 5. Travis Waller 6’3/190 (Anaheim, CA)  Oregon Waller has the intangibles to being a successful quarterback. His pocket presence is excell

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst 1. Josh Rosen 6’4/205 (Bellflower, CA)  UCLA As soon as you look his way you think “Pac 12 Quarterback”. Rosen is very confident with a strong but even more accurate arm. He has the best pocket presence of his class. He is a fiery player that makes plays with is arm. 2. Ricky Town 6’4/205 (Ventura, CA) Southern Cal Town has all the intangibles to be a great college quarterback. He lacks the big arm but he backs that up with his delivery and accuracy. Great drop back passer. 3. Brady White 6’2/190 (Newhall, CA)  Arizona State White’s pocket presence is phenomenal. His accuracy, reactive quickness, and delivery are great. He can also run the ball. He is another version of ASU quarterback Taylor Kelly. 4. Deondre Facois 6’1 195 (Bradenton, FL)  Florida State Facois has a very quick release to go with his cannon arm. He is very elusive in the pocket which helps him avoid sacks but still makes plays down field. 5. Drew L

1. Mark Richt (127-64 record at Georgia) Richt took over as head coach of the Bulldogs after six years under Bobby Bowden at Florida State. In just his second season, Richt lead Georgia to a 12-1 which included an SEC Championship and a Sugar Bowl win. Since, Coach Richt has posted seven 10+ win seasons and two BCS Bowls.  The recent success of Mark Richt has made Bulldog fans forget about that four game losing streak in 2010 that could have cost Richt his job. Unfortunately for Georgia, Coach Richt has yet to make an championship game appearance and has not been to a BCS bowl since 2007. The SEC is the toughest conference in college football and with Georgia not having a top 5 recruiting class since 2011, the Bulldogs does not have enough depth to make a run at a national championship anytime soon. 2. Frank Beamer (226-110-2 at Virginia Tech) Frank Beamer has been a staple at Virginia Tech since his arrival in 1987.  His numbers are legendary including seven conference champ

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst #5 Auburn 2-0 @ #20 Kansas State 3-0 (thur)  7:30 ESPN Nick Marshall has a 119.9 QB rating in 2 games 5 th Ranked Auburn Tigers stumbles into Manhattan, Kansas Thursday night to take on Bill Snyder and Kansas State. Upsets happen quite often on Thursday nights. Auburn had very few problems with San Jose State and Arkansas. The Tigers will be faced with their first road challenge of the 2014 season. Cameron Artis-Payne, Corey Grant (Alabama transfer), and Nick Marshall are key to the Tigers success. Coach Malzahn wants to see improvement in Marshall’s passing, in other words feed the rock to Sammie Coates more. Do not count Kansas State out; they have a dual-threat quarterback also by the name of Jake Waters. Waters helped led the Wildcats to a game winning drive against Iowa State their last game. Kansas State is a smash mouth type football team. Dominating the line of scrimmage is huge in this game and if they are successful doing

1. Jameis Winston ( IDLE ) - Winston and the Seminoles had the week off and is preparing for #22 Clemson. A "Jameis Winston like" game versus the Tigers in Tallahassee will secure his spot as the Heisman frontrunner. 2. Marcus Mariota ( 19/23 221 yards 2 TD | 71 rush yards 2 TD ) Mariota filled the stat sheet up in a 48-14 rout over Wyoming. 292 total yards from scrimmage and 4 total touchdowns is a good momentum boost going into the Ducks first road game of the season versus Washington State. 3. Kenny Hill ( 20-31 300 yards 4 TD ) Hill has thrown 117 pass attempts without an interception to start the season. Second four touchdown game in as many weeks.  Texas A&M travels to Dallas to play the SMU Mustangs. Expect "video game like" numbers from Hill this week. 4. Everett Golson (25-40 259 yards 3 total TD)  After missing last season, its seems like Golson has not missed a step. The Notre Dame quarterback QB rating is 26 points   higher than hi

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst # 1 Florida State 2-0 (LW:Bye-Week) ·      Last week the Seminoles did not have a game and took their bye-week to prepare for #22 Clemson as they come into Tallahassee. Look for Winston and Seminoles to prove not only their dominance in the conference but also nationally. #2 Oregon 3-0 (LW: Win: WYO F/48-14) ·        At the end of the 1 st  quarter, Wyoming was up on Oregon 7-0.

Mariota also had 71 yards rushing with two touchdowns on the ground. While at Oregon, Mariota has thrown for 71 touchdowns which is a school record. The Ducks are definitely a fan favorite to make it to the College Football Playoffs. Oregon starts Pac-12 play as they go to Washington State to play the Cougars for their first road test. #3 Alabama 3-0 (LW: Win: USM F/52-12) ·      The B

1. Florida State (2-0) IDLE     Florida State had Saturday off as they prepare to take on division rival #22 Clemson in Tallahassee. Last time the Tigers traveled to Doak Campbell FSU won 49-37.
