College Football week 9


1. Texas vs. 6. Ok St. Once again Texas is playing a top ten team this week. My question is how much field is left for Mack Brown to keep burying last weeks game tape/clippings? I picked against Texas last week and well that didnt work out to well. This week im back on the Texas bandwagon. Colt McCoy is the Heisman front runner and well deserved he completing 80% of his passes. Ok St wants this game more than anyone can imagine. If you remember this team had Texas down 35-14 going into the 4th last season and lost. Here's the problem i see, Texas came back last season down 21 in the 4th on the road with a Colt McCoy that was not even close to where he is now. Texas has won the past 10 meetings in the series and is 20-2 all time. Those are some good odds, so ill take the horns.

2. Alabama vs. Tenn. Alabama is good and Tenn is not that simple. If Alabama would just play 4 quarters once then they would have a margin of victory that was around 30 points, but they don't because they decide to just stay in the locker at halftime and never come back out. But this is ok for Bama because fortunately for them Tenn is awful. Tenn is so bad this year (3-4) that i dont think Peyton Manning could help at this point. They have no qb, a couple good rb's that dont have a clue how to run the ball and a coach that has to be sitting there wondering when he is going to get fired. The last time Bama beat Tenn is back to back games was 91-92. Look for that to change. Roll Tide Roll

3. Penn St. vs. 9. Ohio St. Its safe to say at this point that this is the Big Ten's championship game. There are all kinds of stats that back up my point on why The Vest will win. 1. Penn st has a 10 game road losing streak against ranked opponents. 2. The last time they won in Columbus was 1978. 3. The Buckeyes have won 12 out of their last 13 conf home games against ranked opponents. Now here's something interesting, who would have ever thought that the starting qb of Ohio St. would be from Penn, and the starting qb of Penn St. would be from Ohio. Penn St. has alot of offense. Clark is Penn St. version of Troy Smith, they also have DW-2 who is a Ted Ginn like player. With that said Ohio St. has Malcolm Jenkins who is the 2nd best corner in fb, they also have Laurantis who is arguably the best LB in the country. Ohio St. wr core is excellent as well with Hartline and Robskie, they have Beanie and i believe Pryor will do enough that Joe Pa falls out of the press box to his death. Ohio St. in a tight one.

4. Oklahoma vs. K-State. Honestly theres not much to say here. Sam Bradford is going to be the top pick in the draft. The Sooners are fare more talented than K-State. Bradford threw for 468 yards last week and gets to face the 93rd rank pass d in the country this week, uh-ooh K-State. Oklahoma by 2 td's

5. USC vs. Arizona. I think everyone knows where i am going here. USC has been on a misson since losing to Oregon St out scoring opponents 141-10. USC has won the last 6 meetings between this schools. USC d is just to fast for the Cats, and Joe McKnight is probably going to play, with that said ill pick the Trojans to continue on their path to Miami and the Natl. Championship.

7. Georgia vs. 13. LSU. The match up between the most over hyped team in college fb and the team that is one good hurricane away from being wiped off the map. Whoever losses this game can kiss a Natl. Championship shot goodbye. LS-Who is the most one dimensional team in the top 25, i feel that if i went to LS-Who and uttered the words quarterback it would create the same up roar as if i said Katrina. Stafford has a big arm but overall i dont like him, Know-Sho Moreno is a good back who will get is numbers and A.J. Green is a thug (that's a good thing). LS-Who is favorite which is funny cause UGGA and the Dogs will win this game.

8. Texas Tech vs. 23. Kansas. Where do i begin here. Ok Kansas here's my problem with you 1. Your quarterback should be the star on Little People Big World. Todd Reesing we all know you are vertically challenging and can not see over your center. 2. Your best receiver was your QUARTERBACK just 2 years ago. 3. Your head coach looks like he should be in the Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest, can anyone imagine the amount of snacks this man must have in his office, Jesus Christ he is the sole reason why Hostess is still in business. Now to Texas Tech, Graham Harrell is to good and will throw for his 400 yards, Kansas has no answer to Michael Crabtree who is the top wr in the country. Tech will lose this season but not this week as i like the Red Raiders to win in a shootout.

10. Florida vs. Kentucky. Can someone explain to me how in the hell is Florida ranked 10th, they should be higher. Florida has won a whopping 21 straight against the Cats. Another number that is not in KU favor is that the last time they beat a top-10 opponent on the road was 1977 against Penn St. Florida has a track team and superman. Go Gators. On another note i found out that the greatest Florida Alum of all time.... Erin Andrews was here for our game Thurs night. This brought a small tear to my eye because everyone from the station that worked the game said that she was very nice, and even took pictures and gave out autographs. This is upsetting seeing as how i did not work the sidelines this game, it is also upsetting because Erin Andrews is the best looking women to ever work in sports. Some good news she will be here with Dick Vitale March 7 when we play Louisville in b-ball.

12. Boise St. vs. San Jose St. 33-16 F

14. TCU vs. Wyoming. Whenever your team has been placed in the bottom 10 that's usually a sign that you suck. TCU did just beat the Mormons (BYU). TCU has the top ranked defense and Wyoming is ranked last in scoring, so i think ill go out on a limb and say TCU wins.

15.Missouri vs. Colorado. THIS JUST IN: Chase Daniels Blows in Big Games. History is not on Chase's side in big games. Big-12 Championship=blow out, 8. Ok St=Blow out, 1. Texas=Blow out. I mean come on already your suppose to be a Heisman candidate, that means you don't want to play like Erik Crouch. Mizzou still can reach the Big-12 Championship but they need to win out. Mizzou was averaging 53.4 ppg prior to their last to games. Verses Ok. St and Texas they had a combined 54 points. This is one of those games where is Mizzou losses, come December when you turn on the PapaJohn's Bowl you will be saying to your Uncle hey what ever happen to that Chase Daniel Fellow. Mizzou, its not a big game so they should win.

16. USF vs. Louisville. These are the top to offense in the Big East, that's really not saying much though. The Bulls beat Louisville the last time these two teams met 55-17. USF has lost 2 though to UL both coming on the road. The Bulls have to win this game if they want to have any shot at winning the Big East. USF in a good game

17. Pitt vs. Rutgers. I wonder if Greg Schiano ever wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares of 80 degree wheater and South Beach, because that is what he passed up, The U for Rutgers. Rutgers has won 3 straight against Pitt. LeSean McCoy will carry this rushing attack thats avg a 114 yards per game. Neither team has a great qb, Teel has struggled all season and he is the only chance Rutgers has to win this game. Pitt

18. Georgia Tech vs. UVA. Paul Johnston has had success in his 1st season, something no one saw coming. Ga-Tech has picked up the triple option quickly, and the question of if this system could work against ACC foes has been answered with a resounding yes. UVA is only 4-3 and are not as good as Tech. It is looking like Tech going be going BCS bowling something no one saw coming.

19. Tulsa vs. UCF. I know to 2 things about this game. 1. Tulsa scored in bunch's, 77 in their last game. 2. Kevin Smith has left the building UCF. Tulsa has the number 1 offense in the country while UCF is 108 with 17 ppg. Tulsa will score to many points for UCF to keep up.

20. Ball St. vs. E. Michigan. Ball St. offense has yet to miss a beat since losing Donte where is the Love to Kevin Evertt syndrome. Nate Davis is 9th in the country in passing yards and will most likely shred E. Michigan. Ball St. by a wide margin.

21. BYU vs. UNLV. The shoe did not fit for this so called Cinderella. The Mormons laid a egg against TCU and need to rebound against UNLV. BYU still has Max Hall who is getting ready to celebrate his 40th birthday by now, Hall is a good player and BYU will win this game, and afterwards celebrate with their 4 wives.

22. Northwestern vs. Indiana. Northwestern is ranked 22 in the country and deserving so even if it is shocking that they are the only school in the state of Illinois that is ranked. IU has Kellen Lewis and thats it, and he is not good enough to win this game on his own, so ill take Northwestern.

24. Minn vs. Purdue. Minn won just 1 game last season and now they are 6-1. Purdue is 2-5 and have fell apart in Joe Tillers final season. It has been 18 season since Minn has went into Purdue and left with a win. The Boilermakers look to snap a 17 game losing steak to top 25 teams. I think Purdue could pull off the upset here, and in this past few seconds i have decided to pick Purdue in a upset.

25. FSU vs. Va Tech. Va Tech blew out FSU last season ending Bobby Bowden streak of 15 consecutive wins over Tech. FSU qb situation is not great, well neither is Va Tech's but Tyrod Taylor seems to just win games. I like Beamer Ball to pull it out for 2 years in a row.



season 23-11
