The car wreck was avoided and things when alright this past weekend with the picks. How ever some how I missed picking another game of ranked teams. Maybe it was because it involved USC and since they can not go to a bowl this year I just removed the ranking from them in my mind.
In the first game that we picked things did not go well there. Oklahoma laid an egg when I though that they would come out strong. Baylor showed that they had some fight in them. This is the second time that Baylor has burned me. I picked them to win a few weeks back and that was when they laid their egg. Final score Baylor 45 Oklahoma 38. Picks for the week 0-1
In the second game Kansas St. showed that they were not going to just roll over and die this year. Of course it helps that Texas is having another under achieving year. I am sure that ESPN will be making up reports that Mac Brown is out and Urban Meyer is going to be the next coach. Oh wait they are reporting Urban Meyer is just going to replace every coach in Division I football and coach every team next year! Final Score Kansas St. 17 Texas 13. Picks for the week 1-1
In the third game the Nebraska let down was predictable and Michigan showed up strong. Michigan was able to push the Nebraska Black Shirts around the field. Final score Michigan 45 Nebraska 17. Picks for the week 2-1
With the 2-1 record this week that pushes our season record to 25 -9. Not too shabby after looking like we were going to crash and burn after last week.
This week there are six match ups of ranked teams. They all look like they will be pretty good and close games. If you are ESPN you would call this rivalry week since it seems that every week during the season has to have a name attached to it.
In the first pick this week we have (3) Arkansas at (1) LSU – This game is just as big as the LSU Alabma game a few weeks ago. The only loss on the season that Arkansas has this year was a blow out but Alabama. I don’t see the Arkansas Offense being able to put up any kind of numbers against the LSU Defense. I am not sure how well the LSU Offense will be able to run against Arkansas either although they should be able to move the ball at least a little bit. With a win here LSU can pretty much assure that they are in the BCS Championship game even if they somehow manage to lose to Georgia in the SEC title game. Final Score LSU 24 Arkansas 9
In the second game we have (2) Alabama at (24) Auburn – This will be Alabamas last game before the BCS Championship game. Win this one and Alabama will play for the National championship. There is no team that is going to jump them into the second slot. The only question is how close will Auburn be able to keep this game. Final score Alabama 35 Auburn 21
In the third game (22) Notre Dame at (6) Stanford – Notre Dame is having a good season and beating Stanford would make it a great season for them. Stanford is in a bad mood after losing to Oregon a few weeks ago. They started out slow last week against Cal but then came on strong to win big. I don’t see any let down for them in this game. Final score Stanford 35 Notre Dame 17
The fourth game this week has (17) Clemson at (12) South Carolina – On paper this game looks like it should be all Clemson. It will all come down to will Clemson be able to hold on to the ball. South Carolina has had its troubles on Offense. Their season has been somewhat of a disappointment considering they were a dark horse for the BCS Championship game. Since they won’t be getting there this game will mean all that much more to them. Watch for South Carolina to be playing to cause a large number of turn overs and turn those into points. Final Score South Carolina 31 Clemson 24
The fifth game is (13) Georgia at (23) Georgia Tech – Georgia has won 10 in a row in this series. That is a long stretch in a rivalry game. Georgia has nothing to play for in this game other than pride. There is a lot that can be said about playing for Pride. Georgia Tech has Pride to play for in this one as well. Having lost 10 in a row may give them the strength to give it that much more in this game. It will be a close game but Georgia will not be able to stop Georgia Tech the whole game. Final score Georgia Tech 38 Georgia 28
