Happy Halloween to everyone.
I will not waste alot of time today, and just give out the predictions.
Ole Miss 34, Auburn 23
Central Michigan 34, Boston College 24- Dan LeFevour kills the Eagles.
Tennessee 16, South Carolina 9- In a battle of two tough defenses, Vols come out on top.
Cincinnati 42, Syracuse 14 - Tony Pike or a backup, same result. Marty Gilyard is still around.
Notre Dame 38, Washington St. 10 - The Jimmy Clausen Heisman Train steams along. This time, in San Antonio for some strange reason.
Kansas 45, Texas Tech 38 - Shootout Central here, as TT use their 3rd QB this season.
SMU 41, Houston 40 - UPSET SPECIAL!!
Florida 27, Georgia 10 - Please, no more Tim Tebow is still in the top 3 in Heisman voting. PLEASE!
Oklahoma St. 31, Texas 28 - UPSET SPECIAL #2. I picked the Cowboys to make the Title game. I cannot go against them now.
Oregon 23, USC 20 - This is not an upset. Two top 10 teams, playing in Oregon's backyard play a tough, physical game that comes down to the final two minutes.
Last Week : 11-1
Season: 54-33

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

College Football Picks of the Week
This is the week where the men separate themselves fro, the boys. Midway point of the season, and now we can see where the powerhouses truely are, as well as finally getting a real grasp on the Heisman favorites. Before I mention my picks, I need to get this one off my chest.
As of right this second, Tim Tebow is NOT a Heisman candidate! He has done squat on the field so far. I am tired of the media, espeically ESPN, pounding this kid down our throats purely based on reputation. When he starts putting up huge games, then we can discuss him. Until then, no more Heisman talk for Tebow. No one is bringing up Sam Bradford for Heisman on rep are we?
Now, your picks for the week:
Pittsburgh 16, Rutgers 6 - It is going to be cold, windy, and rainy in NJ for tonight's conference tilt. I just do not trust Rutgers after getting waxed by Cincy, then playing an Ultra-Soft Charmin month long schedule.
Texas 28, Oklahoma 20 - Sam Bradford did look good in his return, but like the BYU game, is going to see some serious pressure from teh Longhorn front four against his weak, inexperienced OLine. Colt Mccoy knows he needs this one to become the front runner for the Heisman.
Ohio St. 45, Purdue 23 - Purdue can score, but they could not stop a flag football team from Syosset Long Island.
Iowa 24, Wisconsin 16 - This could be a serious Upset Alert, but I am hoping the Hawkeyes can somehow pull this one out, just like they have been doing week after week. It is not pretty, but it is getting done.
Florida 38, Arkansas 23 - Tim Tebow better have a big game against such a weak defense. He needs one of those 250 yards passing and 3 TDs, with 80 yard rushing and 2 TDs. Although, if he does that, the braintrusts at ESPN might cream in their pants.
Nebraska 45, Texas Tech 28 - This line went from 5.5 to 11 for a reason. The reason is that the Cornhusker front four can get enough pressure on the Red Raiders that they can sit 7 defensive backs into coverage. Big game for Roy Helu Jr.
Virginia Tech 41, Georgia Tech 31 - I am starting to think that the Hokies are the 2nd best team in the country. All they needed for to open up the offense a bit, and Tyrod Taylor has been playing superb.
Kansas 54, Colorado 23 - Can we please get some Todd Reissing Heisman love somewhere? The guy has been overlooked for three years now. Always in the shadow of Mccoy, Bradford, Chase Daniels, and the Texas Tech QB assembly line. Just go take a look at Reissing's stats the past 3 years.
Alabama 20, South Carolina 10 - I saw this line and said "17 points??" I am going to bite. I do not think Bama can run wild on this good defense. They will win, and it will be a big win, over a ranked team.
Missouri 42, Oklahoma St. 31 - UPSET SPECIAL! No Dez Bryant? No Kendall Hunter? No win against real competition. My national title game team is toast, and we can see the steam in the sky from T. Boone's ears.
And, finally...
Notre Dame 34, USC 31 - UPSET OF THE YEAR! Remember in my orginal College Football Preview that I said I could not wait to see USC just destroy the Irish? Well, I do not think that will happen anymore. Why?
USC is not as good as advertised. They are injured, and they are starting a Frosh. QB that looks very shaky at times. The most important reason I feel this upset coming though is...
This is the game where Jimmy Clausen wins or loses the Heisman. I think he wins it here. Clausen goes bonkers against USC, no Mccoy or Tebow legendary games are going to top this.
Last Week: 7-4
Season: 38-26

College Football Picks for Week 4
We finally had a solid week, going 7-3 in the picks last week. I am still stunned by the USC upset. I still cannot believe SI.com's Stewart Mandel hit that one big time. That should count as 4 wins on your record there.
Before the picks, another top 15 team falls on a Thursday night ESPN game. This is really becoming the trend nowadays huh? Last night's victim as Mississippi, who could not move the ball on South Carolina. I guess the Old Ball Coach Spurrier still has some magic left in him afterall. Alabama is the big threat to Florida in the SEC clearly now, not Ole Miss.
Now, onto the dreaded picks. SportsTown is 17-14 overall now on the season. It will be a quick rundown this week.
Ohio St. 38, Illinois 17 - Fightin Iliini are just creampuffs.
North Carolina 16, Georgia Tech 10 - Zero confidence in GT after getting embarassed.
TCU 20, Clemson 9 - Big win for the BCS Buster.
Miami Fla. 28, Virginia Tech 27 - Sets up a monster game with Oklahoma.
Alabama 41, Arkansas 28 - Tricky game for The Tide, as Arkansas will keep this one close.
Notre Dame 31, Purdue 27 - I might be running the Jimmy Clausen for Heisman campaign real soon.Stanford 23, Washington 20 - Back to Earth for the Huskies after last week's miracle.
California 31, Oregon 20 - Speaking of the Heisman, RB Jahvid Best is making a case for it as well.
Georgia 41, Arizona St. 13 - The Bulldogs are scoring big now, I do not see the Sun Devils stopping them.
Penn St. 24, Iowa 10 - JoePa gets his revenge from last season's loss. Vaults Penn St. ahead in the polls.
And, my favorite game of the week....Houston 52, Texas Tech 45 - This game is going to have an Arena League Football feel to it. 74 is way too low of an Over/Under for this game. The Merry-Go-Round starts at 9:15 pm est., on the ESPN family of networks.
