SALT LAKE CITY — It's time for another week of college football, and we think this may be one of the harder weeks to pick games.
The slate of games this week has the KSL.com staff split — except for the local games. Maybe if Oregon didn't lay an egg in the opening week against Georgia then its home game against BYU may be more split — or the staff fully believes in the Cougars.
Either way, the 1:30 p.m. MDT kickoff between the two ranked teams should be a great start to the weekend.
Outside of that Top 25 matchup, the staff is split on the Penn State-Auburn game, as well as the Miami-Texas A&M game. The Aggies desperately need a strong comeback game against the Hurricanes to erase a loss to the Sun Belt's Appalachian State. But by the looks of it, the KSL.com staff has slightly more faith in Miami to get the job done.
