Any others??

Does South Florida play next week? If so, you gotta do them...

USF at Florida Atlantic...not really a high profile matchup. You still want it? Line is 16...

#8 Kentucky at #11 South Carolina (-3.5)
#9 Florida at #1 LSU (-8.5)
#4 Ohio State at #23 Purdue (+7)
#5 Wisconsin at Illinois(-2.5)
#10 Oklahoma at #19 Texas (+11) (played in Dallas)
#15 Virginia Tech at #22 Clemson (-5.5)
Minnesota at Indiana (-14)
Notre Dame at UCLA (-20.5)
#20 Cincy at #21 Rutgers (-3.5)

#23Nebraska at Missouri (-6.5)


Maybe USF at FAU...

Nice lineup. Can't wait to read your analysis.

Gotta do USF... at least while they stay in the Top 10! C'mon... feel good story of the year!

They're added!

USF at FAU (+16)

This week: 5-7
Overall: 16-19


#8 Kentucky 23 at #11 South Carolina 38 (-5) LOSS
Hmmm. I need to do some opposite picking on the weekday games...I'm hitless before Saturday starts

#9 Florida 24 at #1 LSU 28 (-8.5) WIN
Florida should've won this game outright...Les Miles got super lucky on a number of gambles he made in the fourth quarter. He challenged a Kickoff for a 9 yard difference when he only had 1 TO left?!?!?! During the course of the game MIles went for it on 4th down inside the Redzone twice and also faked a FG attempt. He's got guts but LSU loses if any of those calls don't pan out for him. What a GREAT GAME!!

#4 Ohio State 23 at #23 Purdue 7 (+7) LOSS
Wow! Ohio State DOMINATED Purdue AT Purdue. This game had all the makings of a showdown but nothing ever materialized.

#5 Wisconsin 26 at Illinois 31(-2.5) WIN
Curse of the #5's!! Wisc is now ranked 19th, which I think is appropriate...

#10 Oklahoma 28 at #19 Texas 21(+12) (played in Dallas) LOSS
This is the first time since 1997 this game has been decided by less than 10 points...

#15 Virginia Tech 41 at #22 Clemson 23 (-5.5) LOSS
VT played beamer ball and dominated a Clemson team I mistakenly thought was talented...

Minnesota 20 at Indiana 40 (-13.5)LOSS
GOLDY!!!

Notre Dame 20 at UCLA 6(-22) WIN
1st win of the season!! All it took was for the other team to play a walk-on QB who turned the ball over 6 times!! WOW!

#20 Cincy 28 at #21 Rutgers 23 (-4) LOSS
I really thought Rutgers was better than this...I watched the game and SUNJ just looked outmatched...birthplace of College football, HA!

UGA 14 at Tennessee 35 (-1) LOSS
Didn't see this one coming...I guess Fulmer, with his back against the wall came to play. UGA has a sick W-L record on the road but it didn't pan out today...

#23Nebraska 6 at Missouri 41 (-6) WIN
Is Nebraska really this bad?

USF 23 at FAU 35(+16.5) WIN
Yes! USF obviously was taking the day off...didn't put the game away until a closing minutes pick-6.

I taked it the bolded ones are your choices? If so, I like the Kentucky, Florida, and Minnesota picks. Not sure ND will be able to cover lol, how sad. Also, how is Illinois favored over Wisconsin? Is that wrong?

Kentucky turned out to be a bum pick...I'm hoping UCLA will put in their backups early and the Irish will be able to catch up to cover. I don't know about Illinois, I wish they weren't favored because I'd love to have some wiggle room with this pick. Curse of the #5's...seems like every team ranked #5 this year has lost...Michigan, WV, etc. I really think Wisc is a #15-25 level team.

Oklahoma should kill Texas, sweating a little about the 12 pts.

FAU to cover is a little suspect too. I'm hoping USF relaxes a little after a string of tough games...

Clemson VT is a tough one...not convinved VT is any good.

Purdue to cover at home should be a lock.

UGA on the road is $$

Nebraska at Missouri - I've heard the home team has won and covered the last 5 meetings between these two.

FLA needs to lose by less than 8.5

Just a feeling on Rutgers, they have a better O and more overall talent. I like 'em to cover at home.

Hmmm...somehow my post is up there and posted over three days ago??

Not that I like to repeat this but...

Last Week: 5-7
Overall: 16-19-2

Props this week to: Stanford!!

USC lost at the Coliseum for the first time since Sept of 2001!!! They dropped to 10th in the new poll this week!

WOW!!! Cal # 2?????

Games for Week 7!

Thursday:
#21 FL State at Wake Forest

Saturday:
Minnesota at Northwestern
#1 LSU at #17 Kentucky (tough game to try and bounce back)
#4 BC at Notre Dame
#11 Missouri at #6 Oklahoma
#22 Auburn at Arkansas
#19 Wisonsin at Penn State
#7 South Carolina at North Carolina (beat Miami last week!)
Oregon State at #2 Cal (Cal does not deserve #2)

Any others??

I like your new slate of games, should have some interesting picks amongst those.

I can't believe Cal is #2?!!??! They definitely do NOT deserve that!

HOW did the number 2 team lose at home (USC)?!?!?!?! To a 41 point underdog no less! Mindblowing!

I know!! No way Cal is the second best team in the nation...WTF USC??? How does that happen? This year's champion will come from the SEC unless they beat each other up so no team has less than 2 losses...The only way an SEC team (LSU or FLA) shouldn't get in is if there are two undefeateds still remaining...looking less and less likely by the week.

I like the selection too! I'll post lines in a minute...

Thursday:
#21 FL State at Wake Forest (+6)

Saturday:
Minnesota at Northwestern (-7)
#1 LSU at #17 Kentucky (+9.5)
#4 BC at Notre Dame (+13.5)
#11 Missouri at #6 Oklahoma(-10.5)
#22 Auburn at Arkansas(-2.5)
#19 Wisonsin at Penn State (-7.0)
#7 South Carolina at North Carolina(+7.0)
Oregon State at #2 Cal (-14)
UCF at #5 South Florida (-11.5)

Jim Harbaugh is still the Comeback Kid. He's just more of a Comeback Aging Coach now.

[Thursday:
#21 FL State at [b]Wake Forest[/b] (+6)
Wake Forest is magical, but you've gotta like the overall talent of FSU in this game...plus the smoking hot girls!!

Ahhh, I can't do it. I can't take FSU on the road to cover. I just can't...i don't care how hot the girls are. Ok I do...but I'm picking Wake to cover at home.
