Fortune teller: Alabama sends message vs. Arkansas

Once a week, psychics from all over the country gather with a giant crystal ball and attempt to read the future of college football. Ahead of the 2016 season's sixth slate of games, here are the fortunes they revealed:

Texas' D holds Mayfield under 250 yards

After giving up 400 yards through the air in back-to-back weeks, Texas must - and will - show more resistance against Oklahoma. Charlie Strong's first week calling defensive plays should give the Longhorns' unit a boost. The man has orchestrated top-notch defenses in the past, and his unit has the tools to take advantage of Oklahoma's offensive warts.

The Sooners haven't been able to protect quarterback Baker Mayfield all season, forcing the preseason Heisman hopeful to spend most of his time picking grass patches out of his helmet. The Austin native has been sacked 10 times, and hurried plenty more, while Texas boasts five different players with multiple sacks. The Longhorns' ability to pressure Mayfield will prevent the gunslinger from reaching the 250-yard passing plateau, and it'll be their first such performance since Sept. 10.

Alabama clobbers No. 16 Arkansas by at least 30

As good as Arkansas is - and there's reason to believe the Hogs are pretty good - Alabama can't be stopped. This year's version of the Crimson Tide features another impressive defense - a staple of Nick Saban's program - while the offense has found a new dimension thanks to dual-threat freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Arkansas ranks 36th in total offense and 65th in total defense, but those numbers will take a massive hit after Alabama sends another loud statement to the SEC, and the rest of country. The Crimson Tide have looked as dominant as ever this year, and will make an example out of Arkansas by beating the country's 16th-ranked team by 30 points or more in enemy territory.

Michigan State yanks O'Connor, makes QB change

Tyler O'Connor isn't solely responsible for Michigan State's regressed passing attack, but he's also shown nothing to suggest he's capable of improving it. O'Connor wasn't bad in last week's loss to Indiana - he threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns without an interception - but his problems against the Hoosiers plagued him a week earlier against Wisconsin and have hindered him all season.

O'Connor simply can't stretch the field or handle heat in the pocket. The fifth-year senior is 6-for-20 on throws of 20-plus yards this year, and has completed 34.6 percent of his passes when hurried. It's clear he isn't the answer, and with two losses already in the books, it's only a matter of time before Spartans coach Mark Dantonio tries to salvage the season with veteran Damion Terry or look to the future with freshman Messiah deWeaver. With a dead end in sight, Dantonio will turn either left or right by the time Michigan State is done with BYU, and he won't look back after making the change.
