College Football Picks - Week 10

I feel the need to take this opportunity to gripe about this week's schedule. The Thursday night games are N Illinois vs directional Michigan, Temple and Miami OH, and VT at ECU. Did MLB bribe ESPN to show crappy games during Game 7 of the World Series because MLB needs the extra ad revenue since savvy sports watchers would have been flipping between games? Then, we get Boise AGAIN on Friday. If the Broncos don't make the BCS, it won't be because of a lack of exposure. I count at least 4 nationally televised games already, and I'd bet we'll all see their game vs Nevada too. And Saturday's lineup features a whopping 2 games between top 25 teams...

Virginia Tech (-13) over ECU - The Hokies will bounce back from last week's debacle.

ALABAMA (-7.5) over Lsu - It won't take many points to cover when LSU's inept offense struggles against one of the nation's best D's. Remember the Florida at LSU game, 13-3?

PENN ST (-4) over THE Osu - The Buckeyes have been overrated all year, and PSU has the talent to expose them.

NC ST (-6.5) over Maryland - The Terps have covered in 2 straight road losses. Even though State lost to Duke, I still think they're better and will beat MD by more than 4.

Oklahoma (-5.5) over NEBRASKA - Rivalry or not, the relevant stat is 8. That's the number of turnovers Nebraska had against Iowa State's stifling defense in Lincoln. What's going to happen when OU rolls into town?

Oregon (-6.5) over STANFORD - The Cardinal are a decent team, but as long as Oregon stays focused, they win this easily.

Florida State (+8.5) over CLEMSON - The Noles have enough offense to keep this close.

Last week: 4-5
Season: 32-33

Virginia Tech (-13) ECU. I'll be stunned if they struggle.

Boise St (-21) LATECH. Boise needs to keep putting points on the board to sell they are a good team.

Duke (+10) UNC. Duke is beat than people think and the Heels haven't been exactly stellar.

ARKANSAS (-7) South Carolina. Hogs at home against a struggling Spurrier team. Let's be honest, they aren't doing enough to sell themselves.

AIR FORCE (-17) Army.

Oregon (-6.5) STANFORD. Oregon has as much to prove as other teams. Cards will score but their defense will kill them.

Texas A&M (-3) COLORADO.

TENNESSEE (-26) Memphis. Rocky Top has got to be excited. I think they roll through the rest of their schedule.

Florida State (+8.5) CLEMSON. I feel like it's a crap shoot as to who wins. Plus, Tech needs Clemson to lose one only because I don't know if we could beat the Tigers again. Well provided everything works out.

I think the GT -16 Wake is heavily dependent on whether Skinner starts. If he plays, I think they beat it. If not, I guess it's a toss up.

Season: 24-34
Last Week: 3-4
