Tonight:
Florida State 34, NC State 17 - The 'Noles are clickin' and the 'Pack is slippin'. Will Jimbo go 11-1 in his first season as head coach in Tallahassee?
Saturday:
Oklahoma State 30, Kansas State 28 - This is a tougher game to call than it looks. Both teams need to rebound but even without Blackmon, the Pokes have a little edge in talent. The game is in Manhattan, so I closed the gap, but in the end, I'm keeping the fightin' T.Boone's.
Iowa 28, Michigan State 27 - It just feels like what's going to happen. I'd love to see Dantonio run the table, but how likely is that, really? A Sparty loss will gum up the top of the Big Ten standings: Ohio State lost to Wisky, Wisky beat Iowa, Sparty beat Wisky, Iowa beats Sparty, Sparty and Ohio State don't play. Man, I'll be glad to see this league expand, split, and get a title game.
Nebraska 37, Missouri 30 - I don't think Nebraska is that good. I thought they were earlier, but we've seen some cracks: the near miss to an FCS school, the loss to Texas, giving up 41 to OK-St. But, Mizzou's coming off a BIG win and Lincoln's never a fun place to play. I did up the points, but still kept the call.
UCLA 23, Arizona 22 - Why not? I'm not sure when it happened, but I stopped putting faith in 'Zona.
Florida 38, Georgia 16 - The Gators are coming off a bye, so they've had time to work out the kinks on offense. Burton and Brantley will both cause problems for Georgia's D, as will the multiple looks we get including Demps and the rotating QB's. Florida will finally learn to score points and the ball NEVER bounces the Dawgs' way in Jax. Throw another one on the fire, kids.
Stanford 42, Washington 24 - Changed the call; no more calling upsets for U-Dub.
Kentucky 30, Mississippi State 20 - Why not?
Texas 21, Baylor 17 - Texas WILL NOT lose to Baylor. They just can't.
Air Force 24, Utah 21 - UPSET ALERT. AF must be like the Washington of the MWC, because I pick them for the upset all the time. Why am I keeping this one? Because it has to happen.
USC 38, Oregon 34- It's happening; Boise State will play in the BCS Title game.
BONUS PICK: Les Miles calls a late fade rout with :01 remaining to knock of BYE, 21-20.
florida 33 - georgia 27
ReplyDeleteyeah they're coming off a bye week, but they're having a down year. IF we can hang onto the ball and not turn it over, we'll be close.
i like the tx and air force calls. but i think the ducks will hang a large number on usc. if oregon can get their offense going early, and force barkley to beat them through the air, it's game over cause i just don't believe in him yet.
AF 30 - Utah 27
TX 35 - Baylor 31
Oregon 45 - USC 28
eh, i was close on some of my calls.
