Here are my 30 picks.. I went 26-4 and nailed my three upset picks!!! 90-18 overall..

Florida Atlantic vs. Middle Tenn.- Florida Atlantic- They are average teams but FA better team.- In correct- Ugly game.. coin flip guess.

Boise State vs. Louisana Tech- Boise State- Average team but a win against a weaker team.  Blow out!- Correct

(Upset Pick)- Pitt vs. South Florida- Pitt- Prepare for reality.  South Florida is running out of miracle games...- Correct

Oregon State vs. Utah- Utah- A close game.. could be a coin flip finish.- Correct

Brigham Young vs. Utah State- Brigham Young- A solid team that might be a dark horse in an average schedule. (Blow out)- Correct

Penn State- Purdue- Penn State- A solid team that should crush them. (blow out)- Correct

Duke vs. Georgia Tech- Georgia Tech- Correct

Iowa vs. Michigan State- Michigan State- MS a solid average team overall- Correct

Minnesota vs. Indiana- Minnesota- They are still a solid team but clearly an average one.- Correct

West Virginia vs. Rutgers- West Virginia- They have a long hill to climb but they will still have a decent season overall.- Correct

Oklahoma vs. Baylor- Oklahoma- Blow out!- Correct

Florida vs. Arkansas- Florida- They will take all their anger out and blow out a weak Arkansas team. (blow out)- Correct

Kansas vs. Iowa State- Kansas- They are still a decent team to watch.- Correct

Western Kentucky vs. Virginia Tech- VT- They always get better as the season goes on....(blow out)- Correct

South Carolina vs. Mississippi- South Carolina- Playing average ball but they will win this game.   Shockly, they may win 7 games.- Correct

Notre Dame vs. Stanford- ND- They are getting better and an average schedule benefits them greatly.- Correct

Bama vs. Kentucky- Bama- They have the inside track and will crush Kentucky but Florida will beat this team.- wow...ugly game for bama- Correct

Texas Tech vs. Kansas State- Texas Tech- Should be allot of points for TT.  Solid ranking but no shot at winning conference. (blow out)- Correct

Cal vs. ASU- Cal- ASU has no defense.- Correct

Michigan. vs. Illinois- Illinois- Michigan got a great win but it was not a normal thing you will see this year. Young team that will take time with new coach.- Correct

Florida State vs. Miami- Miami- It should be a close game but Canes better team overall.- Incorrect but Canes almost pulled the comeback off.. no defense on either side.

(upset pick) Auburn vs. Vandy- Vandy- This is a over rated Auburn team with a solid defense and Vandy is a sleeper who is solid.  This coach is solid.- Told you- Correct

Oklahoma State vs. Texas A & M- Oklahoma State- Correct

(upset Pick) Connecticut vs. North Carolina- North Carolina- This team may not be the huge power house team but things are getting much better at NC with a solid coach.- Correct- Told you...Cincy was over rated.

Maryland vs. Virginia- Maryland- The questions is how bad is Virginia?  Maryland is decent but Virginia seems clueless on both sides off the ball.- Incorrect- Either Virginia woke up or Maryland went asleep...wow

Texas vs. Colorado- Texas- Texas will not win conference but they still have a decent team with a solid coach.  Colorado has improved but clearly are inconsistent.- Correct

USC vs. Oregon- USC- They will be mad and ready to play and blow out Oregon.   They also know they have to win out and win out big to have a shot at the title.  They are still in the hunt with their weak schedule. (blow out)- Correct

Ohio State vs. Wisconsin- Ohio State- They are struggling but Wisconsin is over rated.  Ohio State is still alive but have to play much better defense to beat Penn State.- Correct

Missouri vs. Nebraska- Missouri- They are the dark horse and a scary team on offense.  I am not sure if they can beat Oklahoma but offensively they are better.  Sadly their defense will make that a close game and probally a loss, (blow out)- Correct

Fresno State vs. Hawaii- Fresno State- They are a solid team overall.- shocing game but who knows how good these teams are in weak conferences- Incorrect

Major shift in power but LSU still hanging around..

September 29, 2008  12:58 PM ET

Don't count on Illinois....they always seem to play their worst against Michigan.

Man, you're good at this though. If 14-7 is your worst week in 10 years......that says something.

Keep it up.

You are KILLLLLLING me...I try to pick you apart in your summaries to figure out whether or not you think the teams will cover...can you add a little- yes Mia, they'll crush the spread or no girl, they'll win but won't cover!!! Aren't you glad I found your blog :) hey... its your fault for doing so well....

September 30, 2008  10:28 AM ET

No problem. I will put blow outs on teams I think will win by 10+.

September 30, 2008  10:31 AM ET

Ok.. put blow out on ones I think will win by over 10.

September 30, 2008  11:08 AM ET

LSU will continue to fly beneath the radar (even at #2-#3). If it's not UGA and Florida getting all of the attention it was Auburn at the start of the season now it's BAMA. We'll keep plugging away and keeping our heads down. I think we may have found a QB. Charles Scott is averaging over 130 yds per game and 7.5 yds/carry. No Heisman attention yet because he's not flashy and LSU gets it's attention historically from the Defense. We finally went with a running back and stuck with him, hopefully we'll do the same at QB. Geaux Tigers!

I agree. LSU is in perfect position and they have a great schedule. After watching the start.. LSU will win the division and be a hard team to stop in the SEC. Missouri and Oklahoma play each other and Bama has to play LSU to make it to the championship. LSU is in the drivers seat again....

September 30, 2008  01:48 PM ET

LSU has Florida, SC, UGA and then Bama... clearly win out and your there.....

September 30, 2008  01:48 PM ET

UGA still a shot at the SEC but defense has to watch ball and not player or several teams will rip us up.

September 30, 2008  03:09 PM ET

My concern is going to Gainesville to play Florida. Hopefully they will take out their agression on Arkansas and be normal by the time we get there. We need to beat Alabama period. We can lose to UGA and still get into the championship game but then again we do get to play them in Baton Rouge. Our first big hurdle and the game that concerned me at the time was Auburn with the past record considered. That's behind us now. Bottle line to win the west is to knock off Alabama and judging form last weekend, beat Ole Miss. Both are at Tiger Stadium. Our games that are away are UF, SC, and AR. Looks good but anything can happen.

You are playing consistent ball... UGA and Florida have yet to play well on both sides. Of course anything can happen in the SEC but clearly you are in the drivers seat. Focus is the issue and can the QB finish well... probally.
