College Football: 25 Bold Predictions for Top 25 in Week 11

Bold Prediction: Overtime in Stillwater. Coming off a heartbreaking loss in Bedlam it would be understandable for the Cowboys to come out of the gates a bit slow. Iowa State is not pushover and they’ll make Mason Rudolph pay for any early mistakes, putting Oklahoma State in an early hole they’ll be lucky to escape from.

Bold Prediction: Saquon Barkley goes berserk, topping 300 all-purpose yards. He was held in check by a strong Michigan State unit, but Rutgers is an entirely different animal. Barkley has his best game of the season. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is when you find yourself on SportsCenter reruns for the next week.

Bold Prediction: J.T. Barrett throws four more interceptions. Barrett had one interception on the season before he tossed four against Iowa. He’s a big play passer, but sometimes those big plays are negative plays. He’s going to have another awful day in another major game and Michigan State will not miss their opportunities to cash in.

Bold Prediction: Sparty knocks off another Big Ten giant. Could Michigan State be the surprise College Football Playoff participant this season. It feels like someone always leaps from the bottom (MSU was ranked No. 24 after Week 9) to the middle of the race. Why not Michigan State?
