Jeff Goldblum knows that it's not chaos if the Vols win today.

How about the Hampton Forecast? After another brilliant week, it continues its upward surge. Whatever pep talk Jacob Hampton gave himself at the midpoint in the season, it has definitely paid off. As for The Blue House Lives, last week was nothing but atrocious. This week, however, the scent of rebound is in the air, and The House is extremely confident. Once again, as for the Striker Report, it must be stated that, as usual, no one cares about Striker. Good luck to him nonetheless.

Here is this week’s BHCS poll. As expected, Florida maintains the top spot after demolishing Georgia last week.

Here are this week’s randiest picks:

Memphis Tigers at Tennessee Volunteers

Lane Kiffin is definitely a stride. Last week, the Vols, outfitted with black jerseys, crushed South Carolina. The Vols are looking like one of the top rising programs in college football. Memphis rolls into Knoxville this week for homecoming. Memphis upset the Manning-led Vols in 1996, and the Tigers look to do the same this year. Their strategy: make Tennessee kick field goals. The Vols will presumably allow Chad Cunningham to continue handling all kicking duties with “Blockable” Daniel Lincoln on the sidelines. With or without field goals, Tennessee takes this one easily.

Washington Huskies at UCLA Bruins

After getting mauled by Bye Week, Washington goes to the Rose Bowl to take on the Bruins. The Bruins are the most inconsistent team in the Pac-10, and Washington is the most consistent. Luckily for UCLA, Washington is consistently bad. The Huskies will be extra distracted thinking about what it would take for them to earn a trip to the Rose Bowl. UCLA adds to Seattle’s woes.

#9 LSU Tigers at #3 Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama spent the entire bye week trying to figure out how Tennessee outplayed them two weeks ago. In 1993, an unranked LSU Tiger team knocked off #5 Alabama 17-13. LSU would love nothing more than to spoil Alabama national championship aspirations. The Tigers’ defense, behind John Chavis, is intense and unrelenting. Mark Ingram, however, is the best running back in college football. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Alabama wins.
