Pick #1 Clemson-
With FSU missing EJ Manuel, I think Clemson may have a huge chance to capitalize with a win at home. Trickett looked ok at home against Florida State, but he will definitely be tested on the road by Clemson. Clemson defeated Auburn 38-24 last week at home. With homefeild advantage and no Manuel, I think Clemson pulls it out in a close one. Clemson by 3-7.
Confidence Rating: 65% Clemson 65% -------------><-------- FSU 35%
Possible Pick: Geno Smith Compiles more 1st half total yards-
Geno Smith already has 1008 passing yards and -3 rushing yards in a span of West Virginia's first three games against Marshall, Norfolk State and Maryland. Granted LSU is much better defensively, Smith's numbers have been inpressive. Jarrett Lee has only compiled 444 passing yards and -22 yards rushing against Oregon, Northwestern State, and Mississippi State. LSU's defense is the only thing that concerns me. Geno Smith hasn't really been tested by a great defense yet, but then again neither has Jarrett Lee. West Virginia has about as good a defense as anyone LSU has played. Geno Smith for the pick.
Confidence Rating: 65% Smith 65% -------------><--------- Lee 35%
