College Football Picks of the Week 11/21

Quick predictions and Heisman Watch.

Started to watch some College Basketball this week, and the Big East is 40-0 combined so far! That is insane.

There is no way Syracuse, who just waxed 12th ranked California and 4th ranked defending champions North Carolina, are the 6th best team in the Conference. The coaches of the Big East predicted that for the Orange. Better chance of finding diamonds in your basement.

Heisman Watch

The field really dwindled after last week. In our eyes, Golden Tate, Case Keenum, Ryan Matthews, and Jimmy Clausen all took gutshots to their hardware dreams. Here is the list of the survivors:

1. Mark Ingram RB, Alabama - 7 yards a pop and is smoking the SEC weekly. Big game against Florida wraps it up for him.

2. Kellen Moore QB, Boise St. - Leads the nation in TD passes and passing eff., Moore becomes the leading QB in this race.

3. Toby Gerhart RB, Stanford - This guy has plowed his way through Top 10 opponents, and into my Heisman Race. Leads the nation with 19 TD's and looks unstoppable now. He will destroy Notre Dame when they play.

4. CJ Spiller RB, Clemson - The guy is doing it all. Last week, ran, caught, and threw touchdowns. The ACC title game could really vault him with a great showing against a medicore Georgia Tech defense.

5. Jerry Hughes DE, TCU - The most disruptive defensive force I have seen in College Football since Charles Woodson. Hughes is a Dwight Freeney clone that just abuses Offensive Linemen.

Honorable Mention: Colt Mccoy QB, Texas, Dion Lewis RB, Pitt, Josh Nesbitt QB, GT.

Picks

Nebraska 16, Kansas St. 6 - Nebraska goes to the Big 12 Title Game, where they will give Texas, and the Networks a serious scare.

Notre Dame 45, UConn 38 - The Irish Boys (Clausen and Tate) make their final stand on Heisman voters with huge days.

Texas 41, Kansas 13 - Colt Mccoy and the Longhorns send Mark Mangino back to the ghetto.

Air Force 31, BYU 27 - Upset Special #1! Air Force wins on a textbook Max Hall pick 6. How funny would it be if the Carolina Panthers drafted this guy to be Jake Delhomme's heir?

Michigan St. 27, Penn St. 21 - Upset Special #2! I just want to see all of these soft 2 loss, Big Conference teams to get smacked up to clear an easy path for Boise St. into a BCS Bowl. This includes Penn St., Iowa, Oklahoma St., and possibly Stanford. Speaking of...

Stanford 45, California 23 - The Cardinal are a juggernaut right now. I loved what Jim Harbaugh did to Pete Carroll. I hope Harbaugh stays at Stanford and now we have a new hated rivalry.

Ohio St. 37, Michigan 20 - I want to know one thing. How can Michigan's defense be so bad, but the consenus is that they have 2 1st round locks on that side of the ball? It boggles the mind. Btw, quick tidbit, these two against one another when one team is ranked and the other is not, the ranked team is only 7-6. Just something to think about.

Clemson 45, Virginia 23 - I just wanted to put this bloodbath in for two reasons. 1. Because CJ Spiller is going to go bananas in this game and 2. As a Jet fan, im awaiting the Al Groh roast, with apple stuffed into his gullet and all the trimmings.

Oklahoma 31, Texas Tech 20 - It is amazing how far the cream has fallen. This time last season, both teams were vying for a spot in the national title game. This season, they are both trying to avoid their 5th loss.

Ole Miss 28, LSU 17 - Upset Special #3! Les Miles, meet Dexter Mccluster. He is the one that is destroying your defense this weekend.

Oregon 34, Arizona 28 - The Ducks wrap up the Pac 10 and head to the Rose Bowl, where they will obliterate Ohio St. Yes, you heard it here first. Rose Bowl, Oregon 41, Ohio St. 17.

Last Week: 8-3

Season: 74-41
