After going 23-2 my first week of picks.. here are my next 32 picks for college football... week three:

I went 27-5 overall (50-7 overall)

Kansas vs. South Florida- Kansas- You might think this will be close but after watching UCF almost beat them.. KU will destroy them.  KU might not win the big 12 but there are a solid team and clearly much better than over rated SF.- Incorrect- Ugly game

California vs. Maryland- Maryland Will not be a pretty game to watch overall.- Correct

Illinois vs. Louisiana-Lafayette- Illinois- Correct

Florida Atlantic vs. Michigan State- Michigan State- Correct

Minnestoa vs. Montana State- Minnesota- Correct

North Carolina State vs. Clemson- Clemson- They still have issues but will improve each week.- Correct

Missouri vs. Nevada- Missouri- It will be interesting to see them actually play someone decent. Solid team.- Correct

Tennessee vs. UAB- Tenn.- Clearly a down year but this will be an easy win for the Vols. The coach will still have a winning season overall.- Correct

Central Michigan vs. Ohio- Central Michigan- I know Ohio almost had a huge win but OSU was looking ahead. Ohio is decent but not that good.  Central has a horrible D but should beat Ohio in an offensive battle.  Fun game to watch...- Correct

East Carolina vs. Tulane- East Carolina- Okay I believe.. they are solid.  They are not a championship team and clearly VT and WV was over rated but this is a solid team that will have a great season.  They may even shock us and get a BCS game at the end... might be ugly but who knows.. clearly not the game but a game.- Correct

North Carolina vs. Rutgers- North Carolina- Should be a blow out- Correct

Upset Pick: Oregon vs. Purdue- Purdue- I believe Oregon is over rated and Purdues huge offense will prove to be too much in the end.- Incorrect- OT and close game.

Penn State vs. Syracuse- Penn State- Solid team.  Not sure how good they are but will be a good season overall.- Correct

BYU vs. UCLA- BYU- Should be a solid battle with two improved teams.  BYU is very talented and I believe they will blow out UCLA.- Correct

ND vs. Michigan- ND- Both will struggle to win this year overall.  I believe ND is better and will win in a very close battle of two teams that are in development.- Correct. Good win for ND and bad sign for Michigan. 

Georgia Tech vs. VT- GT- Close game.- Incorrect

FSU vs. Chattanooga- FSU- Joke game and another warm up.  FSU has all 20+ suspended players returning after this game but this team has real issues.  This game will however be a blow out win.  ACC has real issues and FSU may have a shot in the end.- Correct

Oregon State vs. Hawaii- Oregon State- Not a pretty game but a win.  Both teams are rebuilding this year..- Correct

Auburn vs. Miss. State- Auburn- This is a solid team that will win 10 games.  The LSU game will be the game to watch.- Correct- wow... what an ugly game.

Alabama vs. Western Kentucky- Bama- Bama is a solid team but still has questions that will be answered soon.  It will be an overall much improved year.  Sleeper in SEC.- Correct

Texas Tech vs. Southern Methodist- Texas Tech- Blow out.. great O and questionable D.- Correct

Kentucky vs. Middle Tenn.- Kentucky- Allot of questions with this team but this will be a easy win.- Correct

Nebraska vs. New Mexico State- Nebraska- Blow out.. still unknown how good they really are.. KU game will tell all.- Correct

Vandy vs. Rice- Vandy- Average SEC team but solid overall.- Correct

Oklahoma State vs. Missouri State- Oklahoma State- Correct

Oklahoma vs. Washington- Oklahoma- Correct

LSU vs. North Texas- LSU- It will be great to see LSU play a strong team after this game. This will be ugly.  LSU is a strong team and better not be over looked.  Still team to beat...Auburn game will be awesome!- Correct

Utah vs Utah State- Utah- Correct

Arizona State vs. New Mexico- Arizona State- Huge test after this week..Incorrect.. wow 

Upset Pick- Wisconsin vs. Fresno State- Fresno State- I will stand by my pick.  This is a solid team.  Not a championship team but this will be a great game overall... I was close and teams are evenly matched- Incorrect

Games of week:

USC vs. Ohio State- USC- Should be a great game as long as Ohio State shows up this week but USC is better overall.  Could be close but if USC jumps ahead strong.. it could get ugly quick...It did.. what a blow out!- Correct

Georgia vs. South Carolina- Georgia- SC always gives them a hard time.  Should be a blow out but history has shown it will be very close.  This is the season for SC..UGA could still win SEC but National hopes make this a must win game.  Schedule is brutal now for Dawgs..True to form.. ugly game overall- Correct

USC vs. Ohio State- Allot of hype.. could be ugly. SC and Dawgs always goes down to the wire.. hope not this year but history says different.

September 8, 2008  08:51 AM ET

Wow. I agree with every one of those picks. Good job!

September 8, 2008  09:52 AM ET

I hope OSU bounces back. It was ugly Saturday, as bad as OSU has looked....

September 8, 2008  11:53 AM ET

They will bounce back but I think USC will be too much for them. Ohio State is a solid team and losing one of the best backs in football hurts.. even when you have other backs.. it still changes your team.

Great picks coach..

September 12, 2008  12:37 PM ET

I agree except I pick Oregon, Michigan and Wisconsin.
