10/1: CFB Weekend Preview....

Well here we are again for another college football weekend that is upon us....First things first...

THE PICKS

YTD: 15-14-1

• Pittsburgh +13.5 @ South Florida....funny things happen on thursday night...That's all I'm sayin....
• Utah -11.5 vs. Oregon State....classic let-down game for Oregon State...and Utah is very good
• North Carolina -7 vs. UConn.....UConn's Star QB out 8 weeks...UNC is already better....at home....
• Colorado +14 vs. Texas....Texas is much better at home...they aren't at home...Colorado will surprise...may win outright
• Ohio State -1.5 @ Wisconsin...better team wins here....
• Kentucky +16.5 @ Alabama.... Another letdown game...Alabama won't lose...but Kentucky's defense is very good, and this is a big number

Okay enough of that...I'll set your CFB watching weekend now....

• Pitt @ South Florida....7:30 Thursday ESPN....Game could go a long way in deciding the Big East..I'm on record picking USF to win the conference...time to stand up
• Penn State @ Purdue....Noon ESPN.....I really like this Penn State team....first true road test against a very good Senior QB in Curtis Painter....best of the early slate
• Kentucky @ Alabama....3:30 CBS....Spoke about this one above...but a close game is what I envision...
• Illinois @ Michigan....3:30 ESPN2....maybe I'm the only one that cares....but these are 2 bowl teams playing and there's a lack of quality games in the timeslot
• Auburn @ Vandy....6:00 ESPN...THIS is the gameday game? Why yes...yes it is....Vandy is much improved and could really win this game..Auburn's offense is in shambles and Vandy is defending home turf....
• Oregon @ USC...8:00 ABC/ESPN2....Pac-10's 2 best teams....enough said? Well, in case it's not....Oregon's got NFL talent in the secondary and USC is...angry....
• Ohio State @ Wisconsin....8:00 ABC/ESPN2....Game of the week IMO....2 of the top 3 teams in the Big 10 battling....Ohio State is still good....I'm sorry if you disagree...but it's a top 5 roster in terms of talent and with Pryor at the helm...the offense is suddenly must-see-TV...

Well there you have it....a sort of a "down" slate of games this week...but it's still college football people...tune in
