I have passed the 100 win mark and this will be a hard week of picks but expect a strong week:

 

25-8 this week!

 

161-40  Overall

Auburn vs. West Virginia- West Virginia- Two programs that are having huge let down seasons.  West Virginia's loss of their coach and QB's last year.  Auburn has talent but clearly no offensive leader.  WV should pull away offensively but Auburn may stay close because of their decent defense.- Correct

Boise State vs. SJState- Boise- They are a decent team, easy game.- Correct

Bama vs. Tenn- Bama- Tenn may put up a fight but Bama should win easily.  They better play better this week or it could get interesting.  Should be a blow out.- Correct

Texas Tech vs. Kansas- Texas Tech- It will be a close game with two solid teams.  Tech will outdual in the end.- Correct

Ball State vs. Eastern Michigam- Ball State- who knows?  Had to pick one..- Correct

Northwestern vs. Indiana- Northwestern- They are a solid team with soft schedule.- Incorrect

Minnesota vs. Purdue- Minnesota- They are average teams, average game.-Correct

Cincy vs. Connecticut- Cincy-Incorrect

Boston College vs. North Carolina-  North Carolina-NC will rebound but it could be a great game and close game to watch.-Correct

Illinois vs. Wisconsin- Illinois- A decent team against a struggling team.-Incorrect

Wake Forest vs. Miami- Miami- After last week, I will stay away from WF.- Correct

Oklahoma vs. Kansas State- Oklahoma- Can you say blow out!  Huge win.- Correct

Florida vs. Kentucky- Florida- I would love an upset but Gators get better as year goes.. blow out.- Correct

Nebraska vs. Baylor- Nebraska- Correct

Georgia vs. LSU- Georgia- It should be a great SEC game to watch.  They had both play better than last week.  It will be very close.- Correct

BYU vs. UNLV- BYU- They will rebound but BCS dreams are gone with their joke schedule.- Correct

Vandy vs. Duke- Vandy- They will become bowl eligible as they rebound and go 6-2.  Future bright with great coach.- Incorrect

Fresno vs. Utah State- Fresno State- Correct

Texas vs. Oklahoma State- Texas- I would love an upset and if they stay close.. who knows.  You have to respect that team at this point.  Game of the week with 2 solid teams.- Correct

South Florida vs. Louisville- South Florida- Incorrect

Pitt vs. Rutgers- Pitt- Pitt is hard to figure out but Rutgers are rebuilding.- Incorrect

Georgia Tech vs. Virginia- Georgia Tech- They are in drivers seat in ACC but knowing that conference.... anything can happen.- Incorrect

Florida State vs. Virginia Tech- Florida State- A close game with two programs in real trouble.  FSU still in hunt..- Correct

Cal vs. UCLA- Cal- Ugly game to watch but could be very close.- Correct

NCState vs. Maryland- Maryland- Which Terp team will show up.. crazy.- Correct

Michigan State vs. Michigan- Michigan State- The way MSU is playing.. could be close but unlikely.- Correct

TCU vs. Wyoming- TCU- Blow out. Decent team.- Correct

Missouri vs. Colorado- Missouri- Great offense and no defense but they will win this game.- Correct

Arkansas vs. Mississippi- Arkansas- Two weak teams.  Hard pick. Coin Flip call.- Incorrect

Penn State vs. Ohio State- Penn State- It should be a great game to watch and season on the line for BCS for both at this point.- Correct

USC vs. Arizona- USC- I am not sure anyone wants to play USC right now and they always end the season well.  Of course schedule does help...  Blow out.- Correct

Hawaii vs. Nevada- Hawaii- I had to choose one.- Correct

Tulsa vs. UCF- Tulsa.. I picked Tulsa because they are ranked.. do not care.- Correct

Florida has the advantage and we clearly better play better pass defense or it will get ugly.

With our D.. anything is possible but I have a feeling we will pull it off.

October 22, 2008  01:02 PM ET

As always... great picks coach.

Overall great picks man. Im gonna go with ohio state winning over penn in a close one with a come from behind victory in the last half of the 4th. Also texas tech goes down to kansas after coming off 2 near disaster weeks (well ok i guess aTm wasnt near disaster but they gave them a scare for the first half). The game of the week for me is Texas vs Ok State. Im thinking and hoping it will be a close game but seeing Ok State only putting up 28 points vs that week mizzou D kinda makes me think this one could turn ugly. BUT, having gone to many of the TX-OSU games the past years lets me know this game is usually pretty crazy. But good predictions drj. Oh and also, if Texas manages to win this week they will go undefeated and advance to the national championship. And could quite be a repeat of the 2005 National Championship between Texas vs USC. Would be the best game of the year just like it was in 2005.

I agree. Texas will win the Big 12 if they win Saturday. I am not sure if USC can get back but with the SEC so hard it is very likely. Bama has to beat the East and the gators are hard in the end..UGA has issues but are still in the hunt for the SEC only.

Picks were sealed on Thursday at noon. Should be a great weekend of football and I am sure a few surprises will come. These are the best games to watch:

1. Oklahoma State vs. Texas
2. Penn State vs. Ohio State
3. Georgia vs. LSU
4. Texas Teach vs. Kansas

Wow.. it will be great to watch.. Gotta love college football in the final stretch games!!!!

October 24, 2008  02:33 PM ET

I am off to a 1-0 start with the WV win over Auburn and Auburns lack of D was a surprise overall. Get ready for great games on Saturday!

October 27, 2008  09:19 AM ET

Georgia scored 52 at LSU??!!! Sounds good but our secondary has real issues and better play much better against the Gators.

Texas Tech may shake up things.. good pick
