College Picks

I would like to preface this blog by saying my next blog will discuss how a law abiding citizen was wrongfully accused of something. It wasn't major like grand theft auto or anything scandalous, but it made me furious....And you know anger makes wrinkles, so I must turn that frown upside down.

On a happier note, I only missed one college pick last week. Holla! This week has some good matchups, so without further adieu, let's see what's behind door number 3.

LSU vs Florida-Bayou Bengals vs Gators sounds like something one would expect to see on National Geographic, huh? Some experts think LSU must not be that great if they aren't hanging 75 on Towson, while Florida has been in some close games. Zack Metternberger looks like Will Ferrell in "Anchor Man" to me which is not necessarily a positive. This game will be in the swamp and Florida fans will be in their jorts while the LSU fans will hold up signs with misspellings. Crazy. Let me use that in a sentence. Crazy Les Miles is a winner. This will be close but I take the purple drank and the Tigers.

West VA at Texas-I watched some of that WVU vs Baylor game last week and I thought it was never going to end. It was like the "War and Peace" version of college football and that's what happens with no D. Texas rallied to beat the Cowboys. The QB for the Mountaineers, Geno Atkins (think that is the name), is a Heisman frontrunner throwing for more touchdowns per game than interceptions Tony Romo threw against the Bears. Bada bing! Hmmmm. Probably won't watch any of this so I will take Texas in an upset. 

Nebraska at OSU-Those Buckeye are taking their punishment courtesy of Tressel-gate, and Urban Meyer is a great coach (HORRIBLE commentator though). Nebraska is boring and unless they are selling a triple layer red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting with diced pecans, I'm not buying. I like the Buckeyes at the shoe.

Miami at Notre Dame-ALERT*****If Notre Dame wins, the BCS will probably go ahead an reserve their spot in the BCS Championship game. Seriously. Too bad they would lose by at least 50 whoever they play. Miami looks like they are in a better groove, but again, this is the ACC. I mean did GT think they were going to lose to Middle TN State by 3 touchdowns? A-C-C and just ad "K" at the end to give you the Charlie Brown 'Ack." Okay. I threw a 'C" out for one of these teams to use as a flotation device. This is difficult, but I'll take the upset and go with the Canes....Whenever, I pick either of these teams, they lose, so it I did paper, rock, scissors to get this answer.

GT vs Clemson-Speaking of epic and colossal let downs, see the story of GT above. Now, following the MTS debacle, one would expect GT to lose by 50 at Death Valley, right? Again, this is the ACC and it doesn't work that way. Taj Boyd is good and Clemson has talent, but I never buy them,. However, I do like the Tigers to get the "W."

Washington at Oregon-Two of my favorite mascots. I heart huskies, although they have a high prey drive and can't be trusted with a duck. However, I think the Ducks are safe. I know Washington beat Stanford, but I'm not sure what that really means. The Huskies will try to ruffle the Ducks' feathers but they will see no dip with these Quakers. Donald and Daisy with the win.

****GAME of the WEEK*****

UGA vs South Carolina-It's the yearly game against Darth Visor and its number 5 vs number 6. So, I was watching the UGA-Tenn game last week and the Dawgs were up by 3 scores. I decided to let my 2 yr old watch Mickey Mouse. When the show ended a mere 22 minutes later, the DAWGS were behind by 3. What? How did this happen? Did Pete do this with his magic beans or was it Minnie with one of the mouskatools. GA has a nice offense, but Aaron Murray needs to stop watching tape on Mark Sanchez and try to avoid picks and turnovers. This is going to be a nail biter (I think) and I'm not sure about the Georgia D (love Jarvis Jones), but  I have to be optimistic. Go Dawgs!
