College Football Picks of the Week

This week, with the World Series on the cusp, the NFL in high gear, and the NHL off to an amazing start, I just cannot help being not interested in College Football this week.

I know that last week had a ton of great games, and that the BCS ranking have come along to spice up our male verison of a soap opera, but I am not feeling it. The only game I remotely want to check out is TCU-BYU, and oh yeah, I can not even see that. Thank you Versus, Comcast, and Direct TV!!!

The entire officiating BS that is going on in the SEC has really left a bad taste in my mouth. I did not know that the Florida-Arkansas Crew were the SAME guys that pulled the Georgia-LSU shenanigans. That is not a fluke, that is what we call, a trend or pattern.

The SEC decided to suspend them for this week. Why just the slap on the wrist? These refs are tainting your beloved football power-divison. By suspendedthe crew, the SEC is already admitting that they basically know something fishy has happened. Why not fire these crooks?

Does the SEC realize now that ANY SEC Conference now, anyone who bets sports will take a look at that game, and try to find out what crew is calling that game now? I will bet my mortage that the most waged game of any college football week for the rest of the season, will be the SEC game that these drones call.

I do not think the SEC even realizes this pattern. No one looks worse than the SEC itself! Bear with me for a moment, LSU is about to lose to Georgia, killing the following week's Super-Matchup between #1 Florida and #4 LSU. SEC did not want that did they?

Now, with Florida on the brink of losing, the refs basically made the game like a 5 on 3 Power Play for the Gators.... for most of the 4th quarter!!!

What is alot of the general public going to think? The SEC wants Florida with a 0 in the loss column, for Alabama.

SEC would of did a good service to themselves by just firing these zebras, that obviously can be influenced easily. That is not my opinion, that is the SEC's opinion after suspending them.

Now, a short verison of this week's predictions:

Penn St. 27, Michigan 20- Penn St. and JoePa get the Big House jinx off their backs.

Georgia Tech 34, Virginia 10

Oregon 41, Washington 24- No Upset Special Stewart Mandel!

Oklahoma 31, Kansas 28 OT- Yes, the first Overtime prediction of the season!

Notre Dame 44, Boston College 23 - Jimmy Clausen for Heisman Wagon is gaining some serious steam in this game.

West Virginia 27, UConn 17 - Big East is going to get interesting this season, with Cincy, WVU, Pitt, and South Florida. The Conference is not as bad as people and paper think, speaking of....

Pittsburgh 17, South Florida 14 - I flipped a coin, could not decide.

Alabama 23, Tennessee 9 - This game is going to be a struggle. You give a defensive whiz like Monte Kiffin two full weeks to plan on stopping a RB, he will find a way. Vols just cannot score on Bama's defense. The St. Louis Rams would have the same problem.

Michigan St. 24, Iowa 20 - Now this is the UPSET SPECIAL! Iowa, on the road in a hostile place to play. This result comes in, it is a breadbasket punch to the entire Midwest that is hoping for a Big 10 Title hopeful.

Texas 41, Missouri 20 - Did I actually hear people in the media this week say that Mizzou has a shot in this game? The same Mizzou team that gave up 28 points to a Nebraska QB that might be benched now? Custer had a better shot at surviving Little Bighorn.

TCU 38, BYU 20 - The Mountain West takes the Game of the Week! Shame I can not watch it, but Jerry Hughes will make BYU QB Max Hall have nightmares from last season's game. TCU, not Boise St., is the best non-BCS team.

Bonus: Boise St. 70, Hawaii 13

Remember in the College Football Preview that I had this game marked down? Well, it is here! Hawaii home game played LATE night, with a national powerhouse? Every single degenerate gambler in the world has been salivating like a dog that has not eaten for three days, chained up, with a raw steak hanging near him that he can not get to.

Last Week: 5-6

Season: 43-32
