Week 8 Predictions

The more I watch college football, the less I know about it. Much to my surprise and disgust, I had a losing record in my picks this week, going 7-10. My season record now stands at 68-48 (.586). So much for getting back on track. I have nothing left to say other than here are my 19 picks for this week:

Thursday, 10/18
#2 South Florida-27 @ #23 Rutgers-30 (I think it's time for the rapid success of USF to get to their heads.)
#47 Utah-16 @ #41 TCU-23

Saturday, 10/20
#28 Penn State-23 @ NR Indiana-14 (Potential trap game, PSU can not falter.)
NR Central Michigan-20 @ #27 Clemson-34 (Intriguing game, but a MAC team will not win in Death Valley.)
#25 Cincinnati-30 @ NR Pitt-20 (After Pitt loses at home again, their AD will be fired.)
I-AA North Dakota State-20 @ NR Minnesota-15 (Last year Minnesota escaped with a 10-9 victory. Not this time, the Bison are a great team and should be in I-A.)
#26 Tennessee-27 @ #33 Alabama-14 (Alabama is overrated.)
#21 USC-28 @ NR Notre Dame-10
#45 Michigan State-17 @ #1 Ohio State-34
NR Mississippi State-13 @ #5 West Virginia-41
NR Miami (FL)-10 @ #30 Florida State-20 (The Hurricanes suck on offense.)
#13 Florida-26 @ #7 Kentucky-28 (I think this will be the game of the week. I like the Wildcats pulling off a 2nd consecutive huge win at home.)
#24 Texas Tech-17 @ #16 Missouri-30
#15 Kansas-28 @ NR Colorado-31 (If OU can lose at Boulder, so can KU.)
#35 Kansas State-34 @ #34 Oklahoma State-35
#4 Oregon-34 @ NR Washington-20
#37 Virginia-10 @ #31 Maryland-16 (I like the Terps over their rival.)
#22 Michigan-35 @ #32 Illinois-24 (Potential game of the week, but here come the Wolverines.)
#18 Auburn-9 @ #8 LSU-27 (Feeling the sting of their recent defeat, I think LSU dominates to prove they are still arguably the best team in the land.)
