Posted: October 29th, 2005, 4:50 am
Special thanks to:
Boston College
and
New Mexico
Indiana vs. Michigan State:
==================
- Are they reeling that bad? Give me MSU by 4.
Ohio State vs. Minnesota:
==================
- Close win in the dome for the Bucks.
Wake Forest vs. Duke:
================
- Wake is good, brotha.
Southern Miss vs. NC State:
===================
- Writing is on the wall for Chuckie. This is the nail in the coffin. Southern Miss in what has become a minor upset.
Oklahoma vs. Nebraska:
==================
- I'll take OU in Lincoln.
Cincinnati vs. Syracuse:
==================
- Cuse have any offense yet? This game is a toss-up. I guess I'll take Syracuse.
Wisconsin vs. Illinois:
================
- Good. We need Wisconsin 8-1 for next week.
North Carolina vs. Miami:
===================
- I'll be watching every second of this one. Bigtime upset potential, as UNC is overlooked again and again. But the Canes pull it out.
Mississippi vs. Auburn:
=================
- Auburn close.
Texas Tech vs. Baylor:
==================
- Don't be surprised to see an upset in Waco. But give me Tech by 16.
Miami Ohio vs. Temple:
=================
- Our poor Owls are utterly extinct.
Toledo vs. Central Michigan:
===================
- Close call, I'll take Toledo.
Missouri vs. Kansas:
==============
- I can't believe this terrible Missouri team is going to get another win.
Ohio vs. Buffalo:
=============
- When in doubt, go with superior coaching. Ohio.
Central Florida vs. East Carolina:
======================
- I refuse to pick a team coached by Spanky Holtz.
Kent State vs. Western Michigan:
=======================
- WMU wins again?! This team is 4-3!
Colorado vs. Kansas State:
===================
- Are these the biggest disappointing programs in recent memory or what? I dunno what's more disappointing: Colorado's on-field performances or re-hiring Gary Barnett. Give me Rape U.
Nevada vs. Boise State:
==================
- Every time I see Boise scores I puke a little bit. They have been squeaking by teams for 2 months. Can Nevada pull this off? Nah... gotta take Boise for at least one more week.
Air Force vs. BYU:
==============
- Cougars unfortunately win again.
Utah State vs. Alabama:
=================
- Nothing spells "national championship material" quite like a win over Utah State.
Georgia vs. Florida:
=============
- That quarterback is going to show you peeps he's a lot better than you think he is. I'll be rooting for Florida, but I'm taking Georgia.
Washington State vs. USC:
==================
- Not many programs I dislike more than Washington State. If USC loses this, I'm personally writing letters declaring that every USC player is entering the draft.
Maryland vs. Florida State:
==================
- Bigtime potential upset. But give me FSU.
Clemson vs. Georgia Tech:
==================
- Tigers in an upset.
Navy vs. Rutgers:
==============
- This might actually be an upset. But... I will take Rutgers.
Purdue vs. Penn State:
================
- Any Boilermaker bowl aspirations should be crushed by tomorrow.
Iowa State vs. Texas A&M:
===================
- I just can't bring myself to pick Iowa State in decent games.
Akron vs. Bowling Green:
==================
- You lose to Army you need to be executed. Hopefully BGSU will terminate the Zips.
Arizona vs. Oregon State:
==================
- Oregon State by 2.
Ball State vs. Northern Illinois:
=====================
- NIU should have no trouble with this annual doormat.
Troy vs. Lafayette:
===============
- Troy by 7.
UTEP vs. Rice:
===========
- Rice won't win a game.
Middle Tennessee State vs. Florida International:
================================
- MTSU.
Washington vs. Arizona State:
====================
- I think Willingham is going to win a game he shouldn't win, but not this week.
UCLA vs. Stanford:
==============
- Another huge game that is ripe for an upset. USC is praying UCLA wins the next three. Give me the Bruins by 11.
Fresno State vs. Hawaii:
==================
- Anyone worse than Hawaii? Not really. Fresno by 40.
Michigan vs. Northwestern:
==================
- UM by 17.
Mississippi State vs. Kentucky:
======================
- Bye bye Rich Brooks. MSU by 30. I seriously think this will be a blowout.
Texas vs. Oklahoma State:
===================
- OSU won't win another game. Nothing like going 3-0 and then 0-9. Oh, go look who they beat. Oklahoma State is one of the worst teams in the country.
San Jose State vs. Louisiana Tech:
=======================
- Techsters in Ruston.
Marshall vs. Tulane:
=================
- Marshall close. I hate these teams.
South Carolina vs. Tennessee:
=====================
- I would love to see USC win this, as I hate Tennessee and Fulmer very much, but give me the Vols.
TCU vs. San Diego State:
=================
- TCU by 500.
North Texas vs. LSU:
=================
- Scoreboards go up this high? They may be going where no man has gone before: into the thousands.
Idaho vs. New Mexico State:
====================
- Only thing worse than being 0-7 is that number 8 comes to Idaho.
