Here were my Picks:

I went 20-12.. Not a great week but still a solid one...181-52...I did pick the Texas loss:

South Florida vs. Cincy- South Florida- They will rebound but it may be an ugly game.- Incorrect.  I was right it was ugly.

Minnesota vs. Northwestern- Minnesota- Should be a close game.- Incorrect

Michigan State vs. Wisconsin- Michigan State- Another close game.- Correct

West Virginia vs. Connecticut- West Virginia- They are average but they should pull this game out.- Correct

Miami vs. Virginia- Virginia- Could be a great game- Incorrect

Michigan vs. Purdue- Purdue- Two struggling teams, had to pick one.- Correct

Auburn vs. Mississippi- Auburn- Close game and coin flip pick.- Incorrect

Kansas State vs. Kansas- Kansas- Could be interesting but Kansas should win big.- Correct

Tulsa vs. Arkansas- Tulsa- They are a decent team.-Incorrect

Alabama vs. Arkansas State- Bama- what a joke game in the stretch.. LSU looms big in a week but Bama is sitting strong in West now.- Correct

Missouri vs. Baylor- Missouri- Correct

Georgia vs. Florida- Georgia- I said Florida could blow this out.. Outplayed and outcoached.. hopefully we will get a new defensive coach.  Florida always shows up in the stretch.  Our poor play in passing and penalities showed up again but this time a good team was ready.- Incorrect

Louisville vs. Syracuse- Louisville- Coin flip call.- Incorrect

(Upset Pick) Texas Tech vs. Texas- Texas Tech- I do think Texas will drop one and this is the one I have picked all year. TT is for real on offense and I think it will be an high scoring close game.- Correct

"Alabama vs. Arkansas State- Bama- what a joke game in the stretch.. LSU looms big in a week but Bama is sitting strong in West now......"

It is a joke game but that is what you get for Homecoming and works well with LSU next week.

good picks again. gonna have to go with arkansas over tulsa. as much as i like whats happening at tulsa right now i dont think theyll pull off a win over a arkansas team thats getting better as the season progresses and this game is in arkansas. Also the texas vs tech game. If texas cant put together long time consuming scoring drives this game goes to texas tech. but they practiced and showed they could this week against osu. thats how texas will pull off their season defining win that puts them in the national championship.

You should try picking against the spread. Most of these games are gimmes unless you take the point spread into account.

True.. good point but with so many shockers last year and some this year.. several games are wide open. College Football never has a dull week and there are always shockers.

October 28, 2008  03:46 PM ET

I counted at least 15 that may surprise you but picking the spread is much harder.. I agree.

My fears came true as Georgia played their usual D and the Gators showed why the are one of the best second halph teams in football. My pick for title.. Florida vs. Penn State. Texas Tech dark horse. Bama solid but Florida playing better overall right now.
