UCLA is going to destroy LSU. It'll be shocking.

Louisville beats Ole Miss in a VERY CLOSE GAME

I think UGA handles Clemson. I doubt Chip Kelly will ever recreate the magic he had going at Oregon, so I'll go with LSU. And I just don't think Louisville can hang with Ole Miss on the scoreboard. The rest looks OK.
