College Football Week 9: 5 bold predictions

1. Oklahoma State upsets No. 10 West Virginia

In all honesty, Oklahoma State should be 6-1 right now and probably ranked. That loss they took to Central Michigan way early on in the season, doesn’t look very good, but it also should never have happened. Literally. Central Michigan was wrongly awarded an extra play with no time left. With that play the Chippewas pulled off the old hook n’ ladder and scored a game winning touchdown. Aside from that game, the Cowboys have looked sharp all year. West Virginia on the other hand has yet to lose and has looked very good all year.

The Mountaineers are No. 10 in the country and are looking to get to 7-0 on the season. That’s a tough task with their next game coming at Oklahoma State. He has gone under the radar this year, but Oklahoma State’s QB, Mason Rudolph has been spectacular this year. He has thrown for just under 2300 yards. He has 14 touchdowns and just two picks. He has done this in just seven games. The NFL is hitting week 8 this week, if you compare his passing yards to the NFL leaders at the moment, Rudolph would rank second, only behind Matt Ryan. Oklahoma State’s offense is explosive, while West Virginia has been winning with a stingy defense. They only allow 17.8 points a game, while the Cowboys average 41.1 points a game.

To me, that margin seems way to big for West Virginia to cover. Oklahoma State likes to score points and they should be able to score a lot of points in this game. They are at home and are an underrated team in my mind. They have a great chance at win against at top 10 team.
