After a nearly perfect start to the Pick' Em season it is not surprising that SportsNation faded a bit in Week 2, as the matchups got a little bit harder to call. Unexpected victories by South Carolina and South Florida, and Texas' victory over TCU, put a dent in the Nation's sparkling record.
As we head into Week 3 of the college football season, SportsNation's Pick' Em record stands at 39-for-44, a very respectable .886 winning percentage.
Week 3 of Pick' Em does not get any easier as No. 22 Tennessee meets No. 5 Florida, No. 21 Boston College takes on No. 15 Georgia Tech, and, in the biggest game of the weekend, No. 1 USC takes on No. 14 Nebraska. Pick all the Top 25 games below and enjoy your weekend of college football!

Utah State Song Lyrics!
UTAH...THIS IS THE PLACE (since 2003)
Words- Sam Francis, Gary Francis
Music- Gary Francis
Utah! People working together
Utah! What a great place to be.
Blessed from Heaven above.
It’s the land that we love.
This is the place!
Utah! With its mountains and valleys.
Utah! With its canyons and streams.
You can go anywhere.
But there’s none that compare.
This is the place!
It was Brigham Young who led the pioneers across the plains.
They suffered with the trials they had to face.
With faith they kept on going till they reached the Great Salt Lake
Here they heard the words...”THIS IS THE PLACE!”
Utah! With its focus on family,
Utah! Helps each child to succeed.
People care how they live.
Each has so much to give.
This is the place!
Utah! Getting bigger and better.
Utah! Always leading the way.
New technology’s here...
Growing faster each year.
This is the place!
There is beauty in the snow-capped mountains, in the lakes and streams.
There are valleys filled with farms and orchards too.
The spirit of its people shows in everything they do.
Utah is the place where dreams come true.
Utah! With its pioneer spirit.
Utah! What a great legacy!
Blessed from Heaven above.
It’s the land that we love.
This is the place
Utah! Utah! Utah!
THIS IS THE PLACE!
Utah, We Love Thee
Written by Evan Stephens
Composed by Evan Stephens
Land of the mountains high,
Utah, we love thee;
Land of the sunny sky,
Utah, we love thee;
Far in the glorious west,
Throned on the mountain’s crest,
In robes of statehood dress’d,
Utah, we love thee.
Columbia’s brighest star,
Utah, we love thee;
Thy lustre shines afar,
Utah, we love thee;
Bright in our banner’s blue,
Among her sisters true,
She proudly comes to view,
Utah, we love thee.
Land of the Pioneers,
Utah, we love thee;
Grow with the coming years,
Utah, we love thee;
With wealth and peace in store,
To fame and glory soar,
God guarded evermore,
Utah, we love thee.
