Best Five Games of Week 10

PredictionMachine.com recently ran a statistical-probability analysis on the likelihood that the six remaining undefeated teams would stay that way through the end of the regular season. Since we have three of those teams in the pool this week, it might be fun times to take a look at the odds of them not losing during the next month. Here are the probabilities: Alabama (54.7 percent chance of staying unbeaten), Kansas State (27.7 percent chance of staying unbeaten), and Oregon (20.2 percent chance of staying unbeaten). I really would have thought the odds would be better. So you have to ask yourself, when does the loss come for one of these teams -- is it this week?


Oklahoma - Iowa State
11 a.m., Saturday, ABC
Line: Oklahoma by 11
* Underdog worth four points

Snow Bowl Reunion
Texas A&M - Mississippi State
11 a.m., Saturday, ESPN

Oregon - USC

Trick or Treat!
