My Crystal Ball Says...

...that I know what will happen in this week's key games. Always remember that I'm right, and your team sucks.

Thursday, October 25
7:30 PM #2 Boston College at #8 Virginia Tech
Hokies are known for their defense, but I'm impressed with the BC D as well. They are hard-hitting and opportunistic. Expect a low scoring game, but I think the Eagles pull out a huge road win.

12:00 PM #7 West Virginia at Rutgers
I'm not sold on West Virginia. I'd really like to pick the Scarlet Knights here. But I can't. I'm going with the Mountaineers.
12:00 PM Michigan State at Iowa
Two teams that are consistently inconsistent. I think the Spartans have a bit too much offense for Iowa.
12:00 PM Colorado at Texas Tech
Ditto above comment, and take the Red Raiders.
3:00 PM #12 USC at #5 Oregon
I hate USC. I don't particularly like Oregon, but I hate USC. I think Oregon's defense isn't as bad as it has been in the past, and their offense is as good as anybody's. USC has new starter in Sanchez at QB. I'm going with the Ducks, mostly because I hate USC.
3:30 PM #10 South Florida at #23 Connecticut
One little loss to Rutgers and suddenly everybody is jumping off the USF bandwagon. UConn is a scrappy team, but only a horseshit non-call on a fair catch enabled them to beat Louisville. I'm taking the Bulls.
3:30 PM #11 Florida at #18 Georgia
The ghost of Steve Spurrier still haunts the Dawgs. The Gators are inside their head. Really. The Gators have too much offense for Georgia to handle.
3:30 PM Nebraska at #19 Texas
This is not a great year for Texas. But it is a terrible year for Nebraska. I'll take the Longhorns.
3:30 PM Clemson at Maryland
Maryland is playing good ball right now. And Clemson is not. I'll take the Terps at home.
7:00 PM #9 Kansas at Texas A&M
Is Kansas for real? I think they will lose at least one. Starting this Saturday. I'm picking the Aggies.
7:45 PM #16 South Carolina at Tennessee
Phil Fulmer's worst nightmare is having a Spurrier-coached team show up in Neyland Stadium fresh off an aggravating, inexplicable home loss. I'm taking the Gamecocks.
8:00 PM #1 Ohio State at #25 Penn State
I think Ohio State is going to lose at least one game this year. I just don't think it's going to be this one. I hate Ohio State, but I gotta take the Buckeyes in this one.
10:15 PM #21 California at #4 Arizona State
Arizona State is unbeaten. Mostly because they haven't played anybody good yet. I think the Golden Bears will rebound from two exceptionally crappy weeks and pick up a win here.
