2007 College Football Week 7 Predictions

It's past time to be looking ahead to the Oklahoma State Cowboys, although it's hard to put the ass-kicking by Pinkel's boys of your mind. I certainly hope that's not the case for the Huskers this week. Still, we're playing an opponent whose biggest claim to fame is their coach's tirade about a newspaper article, and we're playing them at home. Bottom line - if we can't win this one, we won't have much choice but to be looking forward to basketball season. That's not saying much, is it?

Still, some compelling stories around the nation. Can Mizzou prove themselves against Oklahoma? Do the uConn Huskies play real football? Who's less lethargic on offense - Wisconsin or Penn State? Can Bo's defense withstand the Wildcats offensive onslaught?
