College Picks and Can a Sweatshirt Cause a Team to Lose?

Yeah, yeah, yeah....I think I missed all but 1 game last week. But I have to confess, sometimes I pick who I want to win and I can no longer do that. Just like eating Skittles when no one sees me...The calories still count. First, let me check to see who is playing. Oh, and as I have the Steelers and Titans on in the background, does anyone else think Big Ben could play the lead in "Big Foot-The Movie?"

Oklahoma vs Texas-This is known as the Red River shootout but I think of it as the game with a giant ferris wheel and players named Colton and Ranger. Oklahoma has already dropped one and Texas lost to West Virginia last week. I'm going to guess Mack Brown & company are a little flat. Sooners

Stanford at Notre Dame- Did you feel that? The earth just moved. No, Mark Mangini didn't just make an entrance but Notre Dame is undefeated and all is right in prognosticator land. The birds are singing and there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in South Bend. Stanford lost earlier this year to Washington which is perfectly acceptably unacceptable but Huskies are really cute. If Notre Dame wins this one, Reece Davis and Mark May will  be required to wear a raincoat and goggles for the remainder of the year because Lou Holtz will be spitting with glee. I'm ready for Notre Dame to lose but I think they squeak past Stanford. Poop.

South Carolina at LSU- Did you see the Gamecocks last week? They laid the smackdown on my Dawgs and I know why.  I blame the sweatshirt pictured above.I put this sweatshirt on at kick off and BAM! Aaron Murray channeled Mark Sanchez and the party was over before it got started. The UGA defense looked as if they thought this was flag football.  (As you can tell, I have not had rhinoplasty but I'm willing to be some surgeon's Priscilla Presley.) LSU lost to the Gators last week because LSU is missing something. It's called an offense and you need one to score an occasional point. However, I have no idea why I think this, but I think LSU pours the purple drank Saturday night and eek out a victory.

WVU at Texas Tech-This is one thing I am confident about in regards to this game. It should be high scoring and defense will just be a word that people use in a sentence. However, no demonstration will occur. Mountaineers over the Tuberville in a shootout.

Alabama at Mizzou-The hazing of Mizzou in the SEC continues as the Tide come back crisp after an off week. Tide roll....

Tennessee at Mississippi State-Derek Dooley needs a big win. Poor guy looks like he hasn't eaten since 2007. Dan Mullen has very quietly put together a solid poser Bulldog team. The other Bulldogs get a W.

North Carolina at Miami-Mmmmmmm. Canes?

Duke at VT-Wow...Who would have thought that Duke would be one of the most impressive teams in the ACC thus far. Remember, VT lost to Pitt after losing to YOUNGSTOWN ST. And VT lost badly. However, I can't in good conscience at this point in the season pick Duke to win a football game. Hokey Pokey baby!

Wisconsin at Purdue-BORING! It would be more exciting to watch someone sneeze. The last time Purdue was good a guy with the last name Brees played. Badgers

Oregon St at BYU-Oregon State is ranked number 10? Really?  The pollsters have been hitting the vodka. Well this week the Beavers take on guys old enough to be their fathers. I'm kidding. BYU in an upset.


I should be watching the debate so I can be an informed citizen, right?  I am informed. UGA has a bye and Demi Moore is sad about Ashton and Mila. You know politics and religion are not discussed on my blog. Happy birthday to Bo the first dog! I leave you with the only Peter Gabriel song I like....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fF8wU4Nl9Y  Remember when he dated Rosanna Arquette?
