College Football Weekend Preview

Well another CFB weekend to get to....and we're off....First with the picks

YTD: 6-11-1...I suck
  • Colorado +3 over West Virginia....The Big East is terrible...WV is down...and that's a long trip
  • Navy +5 over Rutgers...Rutgers smells....and Navy is a historically good home team with an offense that is difficult to prepare for...I'll take the points
  • Michigan State -9 over Notre Dame...don't let the final score fool you, ND was out-gained and generally outplayed by a bad Michigan team...now they go on the road to a better Mich. State team that will run for over 200 yards behind Javon Ringer....
  • Arizona State +7 over Georgia...I don't necessarily think the Sun Devils win this one outright...but Georgia (and most of its players) have never traveled past Louisiana....and Az St. is nothing to sneeze at...Slow start for UGA leads to a cover for ASU
To the games...
  • Ohio State tries to rebound against Troy (Noon, ESPN)...talk of an upset here is pretty ludicrous IMO as Tressel is back at home and I have them winning this game by 20+...
  • Florida @ Tennessee (3:30, CBS)....Coming off an absolute whooping last year, I think Tennessee hangs around here...but if that loss to UCLA (who later lost 59-0 to BYU) says anything...Tennessee will be down yet again....
  • Wake @ Florida State (7:00 ESPN2)....I'm looking forward to this one because we know...nothing? about Florida State and they are somehow a home favorite over ACC favorite Wake....Want to get a look at new QB Christian Ponder too...
  • LSU @ Auburn- GAME OF THE WEEK- (7:45 ESPN)....Well, Auburn scored 3 points last week...and won...so that defense is definitely good...both teams have QB questions, but this could be another single-digit game as both defenses are top-10 worthy....typical SEC slugfest
  • Georgia @ Az. State- (8:00 ABC)....Already spoke on this one...but definitely a big test for UGA, we'll know more about them after this one
That's all I got this weekend...Michigan's off too, sigh....GL all
