Missouri vs. No. 1 Oklahoma

Jeremiah Davis: Oklahoma — Too bad Blaine Gabbert is too busy getting his butt kicked in Jacksonville. The Sooners will have fun with this one.

Jake Calhoun: Oklahoma — The Sooner train has already left the station and there’s no way it’s stopping for a demoralized Missouri team.

Dan Tracy: Oklahoma — In 2010, the Tigers got it done when the Sooners were No. 1. But that was last year. Boomer.

Jake Lovett: Oklahoma — Poor Missouri. This will just be unpleasant.

No. 2 LSU vs. No. 16 West Virginia

Davis: LSU — Could very well be a matchup of future conference foes. Or maybe not. Or maybe they’ll be in the same conference but different divisions. Or maybe they’ll stay in the same conferences they are now. My head hurts.

Calhoun: West Virginia — Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I really don’t like LSU.

Tracy: LSU — Dana Holgorsen vs. Les Miles. I don’t know who is the crazier coach but I know who has the better defense.

Lovett: LSU — Like the Tigers or not (Calhoun…), they’re awfully good.

No. 7 Oklahoma State vs. No. 8 Texas A&M

Davis: Texas A&M — Great game or greatest game? Over/under on total points has to be at least 90. A&M in a close one.

Calhoun: Oklahoma State — It’s sad that this won’t be a conference game next year. I blame Dan Beebe.

Tracy: Oklahoma State — 27-year old Okie State QB Brandon Weeden is older than 14 NFL quarterbacks that started in week 1. Respect your elders A&M.

Lovett: Texas A&M — I love the way the Cowboys play. But A&M is for real. I’ll watch this one.

No. 14 Arkansas vs. No. 3 Alabama

Davis: Alabama — Bigger jerk: Nick Saban or Bobby Petrino? Depends on if you’re in Miami or Atlanta.

Calhoun: Alabama — The Razorbacks play their first road game of the season… And it’s at Bryant-Denny Stadium? Advantage: Saban.

Tracy: Alabama — The Hogs gave up an average of 170.7 yards against Missouri State, New Mexico and Troy in weeks 1-3. Trent Richardson is salivating.

Lovett: Alabama — See: Tracy’s. Trent Richardson is a mean, mean man.

Kansas State vs. Miami (FL)

Davis: Miami — Speaking of Miami, how long before Bill Snyder is living in a retirement home there with a visor, big sunglasses and playing shuffleboard while also ogling college women?

Calhoun: Miami — Bill Snyder was pretty tight with Ponce de Leon.

Tracy: Miami — The Brown brothers let out a collective sigh as the Canes’ run up the score higher than they ran up Nevin Shapiro’s tab.

Lovett: Miami — Bill Snyder’s been vacationing to Miami for longer than most of us have been alive.

No. 23 USC vs. Arizona State

Davis: USC — Speaking of jerks, Lane Kiffin! Someone should put that Aztec spear in his mouth when he starts talking.

Calhoun: Arizona State — If Vontaze Burfict was directly staring you down across the line before the snap, you would piss yourself. Matt Barkley is going to need some pampers.

Tracy: Arizona State — Fortunately for the Trojans, most of their seventh grade recruits will be in bed by the time this game goes final.

Lovett: Arizona State — If Arizona State’s new uniforms aren’t reason enough … I don’t have any others.

Vanderbilt vs. No. 12 South Carolina

Davis: South Carolina — The pick below this one? It’s what Skip Bayless would do.

Calhoun: Vanderbilt — The Old Ball Coach’s squad is prolific on offense, but Vandy is prolific on defense. Defense wins championships… Or at least SEC games.

Tracy: South Carolina — A 3-0 Vanderbilt team is a nice story but Marcus Lattimore is a mean running back and my front-runner for the Heisman.

Lovett: South Carolina — Oh, Vandy. I want to believe.
