Georgia Tech over LSU. Stan Gann has put some sting into the Yellow Jackets' attack. He will find holes, even in the stubborn LSU defense.

North Carolina over Clemson. Two good running games clash head on, but North Carolina will find a way to outlast Frank Howard's equally stalwart defenders.

Syracuse over Maryland. The Orangemen could stumble over the Terps, but Ernie Davis' running and Dave Sarette's passing should see Syracuse through.

TCU over Arkansas. The big TCU line, so impressive against Kansas and Ohio State, will swarm all over the smaller Razorbacks.

Ohio State over UCLA-The Bruins may be the best in the Big Five, but the Big Ten is another matter. The battering Buckeyes are too tough for UCLA.

Notre Dame over Purdue. A spot for an upset if the Irish can't find a passing game to help their fine running backs.

Colorado over Kansas. The disappointing Jayhawkers are having too much trouble getting off the ground. Sounder defense and faster backs will win for Colorado.
