Texas Tech will upset K-State

Most of my bold predictions from last week's column did not hold up very well, but the Florida Gators continued to serve me well this year with a dominating 44-11 win over South Carolina, moving within one victory of the SEC East title.

Here are my four bold predictions for this week:

1. Texas Tech will upset Kansas State
All week long the talk across the country has been about Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein being the new front-runner for the Heisman (and deservedly so), and comparing the 7-0 Wildcats to other national title contenders. It's easy to understand why K-State is getting this kind of attention, especially after the team's impressive 55-14 win over West Virginia on the road, but this week the Wildcats host a team that Lee Corso might say is "sneaking around the chicken coop" in the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
