.............................................................................................
NEW YORK - (PRESS RELEASE) -- Sportsbook.com favors Jim Tressel's Buckeyes by 3 points as the 16th ranked Penn State Nittany Lions, 5-0, face Ohio State, 3-1, at Beaver Stadium in Big Ten action this Saturday.
One perfect record in the PAC Ten will be tarnished this weekend when the dominant 10th ranked Cal Golden Bears, 5-0, face their first big challenge of the season against rival 20th ranked UCLA Bruins, 4-0, at the Rose Bowl. The Golden Bears have not won a game at UCLA since 1999, and oddsmakers list the home field Bruins as the one point favorite.
Defensive powerhouses Georgia and Tennessee also meet this weekend in a must-see SEC showdown. Georgia, 4-0, is eager to keep their winning streak alive when they meet Tennessee, 3-1, at Neyland Stadium Saturday. The 5th ranked Bulldogs are the 3 point underdogs to the 8th ranked Vols according to Sportsbook.com. History is on the Dawg's side as Georgia has won its last two trips to Knoxville, and Tennessee has gone winless in the last five meetings at home against top 10 teams.
"With 8 undefeated teams playing this weekend we're sure to have some exciting games", said Peter Childs, Oddsmaker, Sportsbook.com. "The Georgia vs. Tennessee match-up could go either way as both teams want to keep their records intact and stay in the top 10."
Other PAC Ten action this weekend, includes the 25th ranked Oregon Ducks facing the 17th ranked Arizona State Sun Devils. The Ducks returned to the AP Top-25 this week after a 44-20 win at Stanford last week. Despite the Sun Devils dropping from 14th to 17th in the poll after a 38-28 loss to No. 1 USC, Sportsbook.com favors the 3-2 Arizona State squad over 4-1 Oregon by 10 points. USC is expected to continue its winning ways, favored by 37 points over Arizona.
