I went 16-4 and I am 69-18 overall.  Here were my picks:

USC vs. Arizona State- USC- It will be a good game to watch and a close finish.- Correct

Arkansas vs. LSU- LSU- It will not be as close as some think.  This team has fallen apart and LSU is playing to make a statement now.-Incorrect- big loss for LSU.

Texas vs. Texas A& M- Texas- I would love an upset but cannot pick a team with a coach and team that is so inconsistent.-Incorrect- Texas finally showing their life on the edge does not work.

Boise State vs. Hawaii- Boise State- Should a close game and allot of points.  Great game to watch if you love offense and no defense. Reality comes for Hawaii...- Incorrect- Great game.

VT vs. Virginia- VT- This will be a great game with two improved teams.  I think it is a coin flip but I will go with VT.- Correct

BC vs. Miami- BC- BC is not a NC team but a decent team.  They should win easily.- Correct

SFlorida vs. Pitt- SF - SF has to win this to salvage anything from this season.- Correct

Maryland vs. NC State- Maryland- Should be an ugly game to watch.- Correct

Tennessee vs. Kentucky (upset pick)- Kentucky- Kentucky at home and trying to save a season with 8 wins will give them an edge over an over confident Tenn. team who has openly said the defense at Kentucky is a joke and the QB is the only threat.  True or not it will light a fire at home.- Incorrect- I was close.

UTEP vs. UCF- UCF- Decent team and a solid season. Great RB...- Correct

West Virginia vs. Connecticut- West Virginia-  It will not be as close as many think.  West Virginia is my pick for the NC game against LSU.- Correct

Georgia vs. Georgia Tech- Georgia- Geat rivalry and the dawg defense has finally shown up.  Should be a fun game for dawg fans for their 10th win.- Correct- Great finish.

Oregon vs. UCLA- UCLA (upset pick)- This would be a major upset pick but with the loss of their QB; a close game.- Correct- they are not the same without their QB.

Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State- Oklahoma- close game.-Correct

NCarolina vs. Duke- North Carolina- NC will be a good team in the future.- Correct

Kansas State vs. Fresno State- Fresno State- Not pretty to watch...Correct

Florida vs. Florida State- Florida- Now that FSU is running their mouths about hurting Tebow.. the gators will blow them out.- Correct

Clemson vs. South Carolina- Clemson- SC has lost the passion and desire and totally fallen apart.  It will be a decent game but a loss for the "old ball coach".- Correct

Alabama vs. Auburn- Auburn- Both teams have issues but the Tides last loss will give them a passion for this game.  I do think Auburn has the edge but it will be a great game to watch.- Correct

Game of the week: 

Kansas vs. Misouri- (upset pick) Missouri- Yes, I still pick the team I said would win the big 12 this summer.  It will be an exciting game and a coin flip.  If KU wins they have a real shot at LSU.  If Missouri wins they have an outside shot but a real shot at a BCS game.  This is the season for both teams.- Correct

KU and Misouri will be a great game against teams that already have a huge rivalry. Great season for both teams...

Kentucky will be ready for Tenn....

Good picks. I am also taking Boise St over Hawaii. Oregon will beat UCLA though. I think the Bruins have a WR playing QB. That is going to hurt. Leaf, for the Ducks, looked awful the other week and I hope he plays better this game.

now i know you're not picking the 'Cats to win just b/c Tenn has the tiebreaker over UGA in the SEC East? would you do that, drj0514? LOL :-)
agree with all your picks except the last one.....i think Kansas will 'rock chalk jayhawk' on Mizzou.

November 20, 2007  01:38 PM ET

good picks...

November 20, 2007  01:42 PM ET

No. I do want Kentucky to win for UGA. I would have picked Kentucky just based on where both teams are and who wants it more. Tenn. would love a shot at LSU but Kentucky at home will be too much.

Going on the tenn. kentuky game, its might be better if tenn. goes to SEC championship game. Because 99% chance LSU will when sending GEORGIA to the SUGAR BOWL!!!!!

November 21, 2007  06:13 AM ET

I love the upset picks. I sure hope Kentucky upset of Volunteers can sent, which I feel right now is the hottest team - Georgia into the SEC Championship and they will win it too.

This is why we need playoffs for the NC!

Yep! Mizzou would win a close one. Oregon, tis' hard w/o Dixon.

USC, yeah baby! FIGHT ON! sure hope the pass offense put a show.

November 21, 2007  06:21 PM ET

I agree. We are at a good place no matter what Tenn. does now with our current ranking if we win out.

November 22, 2007  08:00 AM ET

Agreed Dr. Let's see what develops.

Can't wait for this weekend.

FYI, On leave Friday (am on the other side of the world) to watch Trojans vs Sun Devils.

November 22, 2007  07:16 PM ET

I am looking forward to seeing the Kansas-Missouri game.

November 23, 2007  12:19 AM ET

Dr., USC's win boosted Georgia's ranking! Yeah baby!

I agree LSU was on the edge each week and they finally burned out.

November 24, 2007  10:33 AM ET

I think West Virginia is sitting good and Kansas and Missouri will decide if they have a shot. With all of the games... Ohio State still has a shot.

LSU will win... UGA at number four is in good condidtion for a great BCS Bid.

That would be a great matchup. The gators are the better team.
