Today's Picks

I hope I can get my remaining 9 picks in before the first game starts at noon...

#33 Maryland -17 @ #23 Clemson -27
Maryland can't be as good as their record is. I like Clemson to bounce back from last week's loss.

#27 Penn State - 13 @ #15 Wisconsin - 28
Sadly, I can not imagine this as a close contest. Sure Penn State shut out Purdue last week, but it was only 12-0! Wisconsin looks like a much better team...this could get ugly.

#28 Missouri - 24 @ #31 Nebraska - 30
Nebraska needs to get back on track and a home win against a team ranked slightly higher than them should do the trick. I like the Huskers here by about a touchdown.

#14 LSU - 13 @ #8 Tennessee - 16
I have been back and forth on who to pick here. Lee Corso is infiltrating my mind about how LSU is the best 2-loss team ever, and maybe so. I just prefer to pick the home team in big SEC games as that seems to work best. Either way, a tight on in Knoxville.

#42 Oklahoma State - 24 @ #5 Texas - 42
Oklahoma State will compete...in the first half. Then Texas runs away with it, winning big.

#18 Oklahoma - 23 @ #21 Texas A&M - 30
Another game I have been back and forth with. The Aggies have continued to impress and surprise many so I will hop on board. College Game Day is at College Station so this would be a big win in Aggieland.

#17 Boston College - 22 @ #29 Wake Forest - 24
Upset #1: But is it really an upset when Wake Forest has a better record? Well B.C. is in the top 25 and Wake is not, so I guess that constitutes as an upset. Should be a very close game but I think Wake wins, vaulting them in the top 25.

#9 Arkansas - 29 @ #36 South Carolina - 31
Huge upset here! South Carolina gets a big win at home over a top 10 team. I personally don't think Arkansas is as good as I have them ranked. Play defense Gamecocks!!

#20 Virginia Tech - 10 @ #32 Miami (FL) - 18
Two thug schools, one ugly game. Hard to believe this is an upset pick. I reluctantly pick Miami.

Whew! 11:56AM, I just barely made it! Hopefully these picks don't suck.
