Kansas State 45, Texas 35
Oklahoma State 49 Baylor 42
Alabama 17, Georgia 13
Nebraska 28, Wisconsin 21

Question: Notre Dame – It just seems like the Irish are in the middle of one of those amazing rides of destiny and their defense is as good as any defense out there. Manti Te’o for Heisman!!!

Kansas State 38, Texas 24
Oklahoma State 58, Baylor 50

Question: Whichever team wins the national semifinal that is the SEC title game will beat Notre Dame by at least two touchdowns. The Irish have some impressive victories this year — and an awesome defense — but haven’t seen the overall speed of an Alabama or Georgia. I hate drinking the SEC Kool-Aid, but pour me another one, I guess.

Alabama 28, Georgia 13
Wisconsin 28, Nebraska 21
