Week 8 of the college football season is in full swing and there are a lot of juicy matchups for some great college football picks against the spread.There are some also really great storylines that need to be followed closely. Let’s breakdown those storylines you need to keep a close eye on.
Can South Carolina do it again?
The South Carolina Gamecocks shocked the world last week with their win over the Georgia Bulldogs on the road. They return home but the job isn’t going to get any easier playing against the Florida Gators. The Gators’ defense is elite and the Gamecocks are starting a banged up Ryan Hilinski. If they are to have any chance he is going to have to show at least some mobility. So can the offense step up to the plate and give the Gators a challenge or will they struggle to score?
Are the Baylor Bears for real?
The Baylor Bears were lucky to escape their last game with a victory and there has been talk about who have the Bears actually played? Earlier in the season they struggled against the Rice Owls. So what team is going to show up against the Oklahoma State Cowboys? Are they going to step up to the plate and prove they are for real? Or will they struggle to have success against their toughest test of the season?
Will Jim Harbaugh finally win a big game?
We already know Jim Harbaugh can’t beat the Ohio State Buckeyes, but maybe he can win a game on Saturday against Penn State to keep the Michigan season alive. This has usually been the type of game where the Wolverines and Harbaugh struggle and Vegas thinks that’s the case here with the line having them as nine point underdogs. If Michigan is going to get the job done, Shea Patterson is going to need to have his best game of the season.
