Week 7 Predictions

Well, what started out as a great day in my picks turned into an OK day. I went 11-6 which was an improvement but I am still hurting myself on upset picks that don't happen. I almost picked the ND upset but felt UCLA would win late in a tight game. Boy that Nebraska pick was a horrible one. My season record now stands at 61-38 (.616). I really need to get back on track this week. I feel that I know enough about college football to be able to correctly pick at least 2/3 of my games. So here are my 17 picks for this week:

Thursday, 10/11
#22 Florida State-27 @ #27 Wake Forest-16 (ESPN 7:30, Revenge will be sweet for FSU.)

Friday, 10/12
#8 Hawaii-41 @ NR San Jose State-24 (ESPN 8PM, The Warriors will be on national TV, but will Colt Brennan play? Still bothered by an ankle injury, expect him to split time with backup Tyler Graunke. It doesn't really matter though.)

Saturday, 10/13
NR Central Florida-10 @ #5 South Florida-45
NR Kent State-0 @ #3 Ohio State-30 (Considering this is supposedly a rebuilding year for the Buckeyes, I am almost impressed. Almost because their schedule is soft.)
#24 Purdue-13 @ #35 Michigan-31 (Here come the Wolverines...)
#45 Oklahoma State-31 @ #40 Nebraska-34 (Tough game to call, but the Cornhuskers better win.)
#18 Wisconsin-20 @ #46 Penn State-24 (ABC 3:30, PSU's offense sucks, but Wisconsin's D is so bad they could make Morelli & Co. look good enough to win. I predict a fumble and an INT by PSU though.)
#38 Texas A&M-35 @ #36 Texas Tech-34
#48 Connecticut-27 @ #37 Virginia-23 (Dr. Mueller wins twice in one game since he is a UConn and VT fan!)
#10 South Carolina-27 @ NR North Carolina-28 (ESPN 3:30, I really hope ESPN picks up this game from ABC because it should be a good one. These two border rivals rarely play each other. After the Tar Hells upset of Miami last week, I think they do it again in my upset pick of the week. LOL, now they have no chance!)
#4 Boston College-52 @ NR Notre Dame-17 (NBC 3:30PM, ND is feeling pretty good about their first win and that made NBC happy too. But we will all see on national television that the Irish STILL suck in a blowout loss to BC.)
#1 LSU-27 @ #20 Kentucky-10 (Good teams win at home. Great teams win on the road.)
#13 Missouri-20 @ #10 Oklahoma-31 (I have been dogging Mizzou all year, and all year I have been wrong. This time I am right!)
NR Oregon State-24 @ #2 California-48
#42 Indiana-37 @ NR Michigan State-23
NR Louisville-26 @ #16 Cincinnati-44
#21 Auburn-23 @ #30 Arkansas-24 (ESPN 7:45, This is the type of game the Razorbacks need to prove themselves worthy again. I doubt they will, but what the heck...)
