The 15 Hardest Picks

SYRACUSE OVER PITT
Better defenses than Pitt's have not been able to stop Little.

ALABAMA OVER MISSISSIPPI STATE
The Tide has a firmer line—and Sloan to throw.

FLORIDA OVER AUBURN
Spurrier will pass over the Tigers' weak secondary defense.

GEORGIA TECH OVER DUKE
Tech's young backs are quicker and Glacken may be out.

GEORGIA OVER NORTH CAROLINA
But Georgia cannot relax. Talbott makes Carolina tough.

LSU OVER MISSISSIPPI
Ole Miss is looking better, but LSU packs more punch.

NEBRASKA OVER MISSOURI
The Huskers should be ready for their toughest test.

PURDUE OVER ILLINOIS
Illinois can score, but Griese will get Purdue more points.

OHIO STATE OVER MINNESOTA
For once, sheer power prevails over good passing.

NOTRE DAME OVER NAVY
The Irish are bigger, stronger and, plainly, better.
