November predictions.(This Week's Spotlight)(college football)(Brief Article)
Virginia Tech will insist things are different from the past three seasons, when it went 20-2 before November and 6-11 after. But with Maryland, Virginia and Miami to play in the final month, the Hokies will endure another meltdown.
The spin cycle will be on full blast from Big East apologists. Ripped all season for getting an automatic berth in the BCS despite a lousy slate of teams, the Big East will be even more vilified when likely champion West Virginia loses to Boston College or Pittsburgh.
Wisconsin running back Anthony Davis won't win the Heisman, but he'll be one of the nation's best backs in the final month, rushing for more than 500 yards in the final three games and leading Barry Alvarez to his fourth Rose Bowl berth.
Without playing Louisville and with wins over Memphis and TCU, the Blazers will be unbeaten in conference play going into the finale at Southern Miss. A major reason: QB Darrell Hackney. At 6-2, 235, he's just as apt to run over an opponent as throw over him.
