Fearless Rick & Coin Flip NCAA Week 10 Early Games
All times Eastern
Week 9 Results: Rick: 7-7; Flip: 6-8
Friday, October 31
25 Memphis (-13, 48.5) at Rice 7:00 pm (ESPN2) - The Tigers rallied for 17 4th quarter points in a 34-31 win over South Florida last week, so there may be some hangover from that emotional win.
The Rice Owls defeated independent UConn last week, 37-34 in double OT. They can play defense as well, which should help. Home field a big edge here. Maybe not an upset, but closer than the line suggests.
Coin Flip: Memphis
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Tigers 28 Owls 20
Coach Belichick’s minions almost upended Virginia last week, 17-16. While they have yet to win a conference game, they seem to be on the brink of breaking through. This could be their moment.
Coin Flip: North Carolina
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Tar Heels 23 Orange 17
Penn State at 1 Ohio State (-21, 44.5) 12:00 pm (FOX) - Terry Smith inherited the head coaching job from James Franklin and now is put to the test. #1 Ohio State’s defense is #1 in points allowed, giving up only three TDs all season. They are 7-0.
Penn State is 3-4, and none of their losses have been by more than a TD, the last two, to Northwestern and at Iowa, were by one point each. This should be a good old butt-whipping, but pride will play a huge part for the Nittany Lions, who may see it respectable.
Coin Flip: Ohio State
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Buckeyes 24 Nittany Lions 10
Vandy has only one loss (Alabama), so they are still in the running for the national playoffs and a win here could vault them further up the rankings.
Coin Flip: Texas
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Commodores 27 Longhorns 24
SMU’s loss was their third, but only their first in the ACC, which means they still have a path to the conference championship game, although a win here is essential. Despite home field, they do not appear good enough to upset the 6-1 Hurricanes, whose only loss was a stunning setback two weeks ago, 24-21, to Louisville.
Coin Flip: SMU
Fearless Rick’s Pick: Hurricanes 34 Mustangs 17
