Texas 34 – Texas Tech 20
Tech always plays the tough in Lubbock. This is an upset waiting to happen.
Go Buckeyes. Playing Minnesota.
What a sad display. Bring back Gerry Faust!
Rest easy, Mike - I've given up on predictions for the week given my interstellar record;)
I do like the Yellow Jackets taking the Hurricanes and...aw, what the heck, I pick the Dawgs over the Gators.
"Every time I pick against New Mexico, they win, and every time I pick them, they lose. I don’t know anymore."
How do you think I feel as a New Mexico fan? This team has been so hard to figure out this season, but Coach Long has a history of getting his teams to make great end of season runs. Beating Colorado St Saturday will signal such a run is in progress. The Lobos might just sneak into a bowl this year!

At least Michigan State won last week! Had to perform the greatest comeback in the history of NCAA Division 1A football to do it, but a win is a win.
I don't think Coach Smith's career will have a similar comeback, however...
Hopefully with a stronger arm. ;)
Fight On!
I like your GT pick over the disfunctional Hurricanes. Also, hopefully the Irish can cover this week and Weiss's whining will light a fire. Being a die-hard Irishman, I will have to say that Charlie Weiss is a legend in the Media's mind (Notre Dame has only beaten one ranked opponent this year, and will probably remain that way).
Fascinating how ESPN SportsNation has a poll on who wins between Oklahoma and Missouri. With over 12,000 responses, it's a 50-50 tie.
The dirty little secret is that some teams have already played their "12th game", the gimme game allowed this year due to a scheduling quirk and is almost always a major mismatch. Other teams have not. The ones that haven't will get a BCS computer shock when they embarass some little program and lose ground in the computer rankings for the privilege.
Watch that happen with Arkansas and Louisiana-Monroe this week.
They do, but I think Texas has gotten their road shock out of the way and will roll into Lubbock this weekend....
yeah...
I fully expect the score to be worse than what I predicted....
"You could tell at practice yesterday, it was different. It was different with Dwayne and Steve catching balls. John was all over everything we were throwing and he was right on the money. We were looking very good yesterday. That's a good sign and we'll see if we can bring that to the football game on Saturday."

I've gotten so lit up in the past couple weeks that I'm going to quit thinking when I make picks and flip a coin.
That's fine that your offense may or may not find it's feet, but your defense is also statisically lagging.....
your tests are coming, believe me.
I think they have a good shot at a bowl if they can get 6 wins.
I don't think the Big Ten or the Big XII will have enough teams to fill all of their bowl tie-ins....
It might light a fire (we won't be able to tell, it is NAVY after all), but unless he's able to grow a faster defense or an offensive line, you guys are going to struggle against teams that you shouldn't....
