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
After a horrendous 4-7 first week, we got back on track slightly to have a 6-4 week, and are now 10-11 overall. I wish we picked College Football like we do the NFL. (Little hint, alot of bragging on the NFL picks).
A couple of big games this week, as Nebraska clashes Virginia Tech, Florida St. tries to right the ship against darlings BYU, and Texas has a shot at their revenge from last year against Texas Tech. All are good matchups, but the most anticipated game of the week is Tennessee-Florida.
After all the hand grenades that were tossed between the sides in the offseason, now the Volunteers, and new Head Coach Lane Kiffin has to go into The Swamp, and mess with Urban Meyer's dynasty. I have a funny feeling that Coach Meyer is going to have the Gators foot on the Vols throat by the 2nd quarter... and he will not let it go until after the final whistle is blown. Gotta love potential video game football!
This might be the closest parody to The Karate Kid Part 2, when Daniel is supposedly fighting to the death with Sato's nephew, has him by the back and of the head, and gives him choice of living or dying. Only in this reality, Meyer would be Daniel, and he would not just honk Lane Kiffin's nose, it would more resemble a Mortal Kombat fatality move.Now, on to the picks of the week:
Boise St. 45, Fresno St 17 - No, it is not on the blue grass, but no one in the WAC can really handle Boise this fall. An imporvement for Fresno St., after last season's ambush.
California 38, Minnesota 21 - After their cross-country loss last year at Maryland, Cal. came into Minnesota earlier in the week to adjust to the time zone. Shame Minnesota will not be able to adjust to RB Jahvid Best.
Oregon 28, Utah 17 - Yes, the winning streak ends in Eugene. If Utes RB Matt Asiata were playing, my pick might of been a bit different. I also just cannot see the Ducks getting slapped around by two BCS Busters in a month.
Texas 51, Texas Tech 34 - Think Colt Mccoy and company want this game? The Red Raiders essentially cost the Longhorns a shot at Florida last year. Mccoy and crew will get their revenge, and then some.
USC 27, Washington 9 - I read CNNSI.com's Stewart Mandel's picks and he has Washington pulling off the uber-upset. I usually like and respect Mandel's work, but he went Waco on this prediction. Keep up the good work though.
Nebraska 24, Virginia Tech 17- Here is my upset pick of the week. The Cornhuskers, and basically the entire Big 12 can score. They will play just enough defense to win this game. I just have no confidence in Va Tech's defense after Bama shredded it.
Cincinnati 38, Oregon St. 31 - Have you seen the Bearcats offense? It is no-huddle madness! QB Tony Pike and WR Marty Gilyard will hook up plenty of times in this game, and that will edge what OSU RB Jacquizz Rodgers will do. Big win for the Big East and Cincy.
Notre Dame 45, Michigan St. 20 - Poor Michigan St., they get smacked at home last week to little brother state school Central Michigan, now they get a pissed off Irish offense that can score on anyone. QB Jimmy Clausen is going to pad some Heisman stats in this game.
BYU 27, Florida St. 13 - I know the Seminoles most likely have more talent, and could easily win this game, but I just cannot see them scoring much on a defense that basically shut down Sam Bradford. BYU continues on the BCS march.
and, finally....
Florida 63, Tennessee 10 - Like I said earlier, foot to the throat for the entire game. I would not be shocked if Tim Tebow is doing play-action pass bombs in the 4th quarter of this game. Welcome to the SEC Lane Kiffin. Next time, keep your mouth shut.Tomorrow, the NFL picks (cough, went 13-2 last week, cough).
