Week Six College Football
Week Five was a fun week if you were a Buckeye fan. The weekend started out with Auburn getting a severe test at South Carolina in the super tough SEC. Ohio State went to Iowa and dismantled the Hawkeyes. USC was pushed by Washington State and Florida received a good push by Alabama. This week features the Red River Shootout between Texas and Oklahoma and another great match up in the SEC when LSU visits Florida in the Swamp.
As always, all rankings are from the ESPN.com Scoreboard page. The betting lines (used sorely for the basis of predictions) are from Yahoo.com. I will list any games of interest (FReepmail me if you want your team included and I will include them from here on out) and any other games listed in my Yahoo league. I have a new feature this week. In each game that I do not have any confidence, or any game that I think a team could have an unexpected struggle, I will post a picture of a landmine
for illustration.

at 
(9) LSU (-2) at (5) Florida
LSU and Florida will meet in the first of what should be a month of absolutely great games in the SEC. This will be the first of 3 top 10 opponents that Florida will see in a 3 week span. For LSU this is all about building momentum and staying in the SEC West race. One loss does not eliminate them from contention for the BCS Championship game. This game is at the Swamp and it will be a very LOUD game. LSU has been there and done that and that will be the difference. Florida cannot start slowly like they did against Alabama to have any shot in this one but they are also possibly having to play this game without DeShawn Winn, their starting Tailback. All of this equals an LSU win I think.
LSU 20 Florida 14

(7) Texas (-5.5) at (14) Oklahoma
In this game there is a young Quarterback for Texas, and a defense for Oklahoma looking to show that during the bye week, they were able to plug some of the holes. Being that Texas and Oklahoma both already have one loss, a loss here not only knocks one out of the National Title hunt, but also puts the loser a game back of the winner in the Big XII South. Texas has the edge in this game. They are the more experienced team, and they have the better defense. Rivalry games like this are fun to pick, because you can be so often wrong on a game by game basis. Anyway, I think Texas wins this game by a TD.
Texas 27 Oklahoma 20
Wednesday October 4th, 2006 (ESPN2 Wednesday Night Game)
UCF at Marshall (-3.5)
This game is the battle of the cannon Fodder. UCF was killed by Florida while Marshall was a punching bag for Kansas State, Tennessee and West Virginia. This game should be relatively close with the home team getting the edge.
Marshall 27 UCF 17
Thursday October 5th, 2006 (ESPN Thursday Night Game)
(17) Florida State (-10.5) at NC State
No way no how does NC State sneak up on Florida State. Right? RIGHT? Actually I think Florida State will make a commitment to running the ball and will win this game by 2 or 3 TDs.
FSU 33 NC State 14
Thursday October 5th, 2006
TCU at Utah (-3)
TCU is looking to get back on track after being beaten by BYU. Utah was destroyed by Boise St. last week. This is TCUs game to lose, they are the better team.
TCU 26 Utah 13
Friday October 6th, 2006 (ESPN2 Friday Night Game)
(8) Louisville (-33) at Middle Tennessee St.
Louisville will annihilate Middle Tennessee. Nothing else needs to be said.
Louisville 56 - Middle TN ST 3
Saturday October 7th 30th 2006 (in ranking order)
Bowling Green at (1) Ohio State (-34.5)
Ohio State 45 Bowling Green 7
Arkansas at (2) Auburn (-16.5)
Auburn 34 Arkansas 10
Washington at (3) USC (-20.5)
USC 27 Washington 13
(4) West Virginia (-26.5) at Mississippi St.
WVU 34 Miss St. 6
Michigan State at (6) Michigan (-17)
Michigan 44 Michigan State 20
(13)Tennessee (-2.5) at (10) UGA 
Tennessee 18 - UGA 7
(11) Oregon at (16) Cal (-5.5)
Cal 34 Oregon 24
Stanford at (12) Notre Dame (-31.5)
Notre Dame 53 Stanford 10
Wake Forest at (15) Clemson (-16.5)
Clemson 45 Wake Forest 19
Maryland at (18) Georgia Tech (-13.5)
Georgia Tech 35 Maryland 10
Purdue at (19) Iowa (-11) 
Iowa 33 Purdue 24
LA Tech at (20) Boise St. (-35)
Boise St 55 La Tech 17
(21) Virginia Tech BYE
(22) Nebraska (-7) at Iowa St.
Nebraska 24 Iowa St. 10
(23) Missouri at Texas Tech (-4)
Missouri 30 Texas Tech 27
(24) Rutgers BYE
(25) Boston College BYE
BY REQUEST
Wyoming (-1.5) at New Mexico (Mountain West Conference)
This game has all the makings of both a shootout OR a clunker, Im not entirely sure. I think its a bit ludicrous to favor a BAD Wyoming team over an average New Mexico team when New Mexico is at home.
UNM 24 Wyoming 20
I did a bit better with my picks this past week. I was 17-2 Straight Up and 13-5-1 Against the Spread.
88-14 Straight UP
61-38-3 Against the Spread

Arkansas up 27 -10 with 4 minutes to go...looking REAL good.

That ought to finish it. Up three scores, and they chewed up a bunch of clock doing it.

I've always wondered just how much clout Don Shula has. Mike Shula has never proven he was capable of washing the uniforms, much less running a team. Yet he keeps getting jobs.

I remember when Shula was the offensive coordinator for the Bucs, right after Tony Dungy started to make them into a real football team. A Gainesville sports talk guy tagged their offense as "junior varsity", which just about summed it up as well as I've ever heard.

This is a very underrated Arkansas team. There's no excuse for them not being in the Top 25.

Very impressive win. They were in control the whole game.

Minn got TD but missed EP.
PSU has ball now

Aggies pull out the win.....not impressive, but a W.
To: catholicfreeper
Thought on Miami Fans- They need to get a life. I know they dont like Coker but the numerousempty seats in the stadium for two weeks in a row is just ridiculous.
Miami fans need to know that College parity is here to stay and their supposed God Given right to be numero uno has long passed.
Shame there not supporting their team more. Ok that is my rant

PSU wins in OT..makes EP on TD....
To: LA Woman3
Aggie fans will take Coker!They may get their chance. Miami has games against Ga. Tech, Va. Tech and Boston College left to play, and those are not gimmes with this Miami team. Even if they only lose one of them, that leaves them with three losses and a minor bowl game. I doubt Coker would survive that.
