College Football - Week 2 (sort of)

After a strong 3-1-1 week (stupid Florida pushed), I'm confident to say I've still got it. As the other LL put it, "Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years." On to the picks.

BC -4.5 @ NC

I like the Eagles this week, even if they got tripled up last week by the Hokies. The QB's are the key to this game, but if I were BC coach Tom O'Brien, I'd tell my team that there is no way a team with a guy named "Cooter" (RB James (Cooter) Arnold) should beat you. BC covers over UNC.

@PENN STATE -11.5 Wisconsin

Plain and simple, PSU wins this one because they have more black athletes. Just ask Paterno

@MIDDLE TENN ST -4.5 Arkansas State

Honestly, the only thing I know about either team is that in my XBox game, I've scheduled Middle Tenn State to play my created GW team twice, and they've beaten me both times. You know that team that no matter how hard you try, you're unable to beat? That's MTSU for me. I may even keep them off the schedule next year just because I secretly fear them. For this reason, I'm not even looking at records, stats or rosters and I'm picking MTSU to cover over Arkansas State. By the way, pictured is Sr. Quarterback Josh "Mr. Consistent" Harris. I wish my nickname was Mr. Consistent. Not "Mr. Wonderful" or "Mr. Perfect" just "Mr. Consistent." No mention of "consistently comes up on third down," or "consistently throws interceptions on key drives," just "consistent." Just like me, pretty much half-assed.

Ucla -9.5 @ARIZONA

"Hi, we're UCLA, you may have heard of us. We're that other undefeated team from Southern CA. In case you were wondering, we're playing Arizona this week, and the only team they've beaten by more than a field goal is Northern Arizona. We haven't scored fewer than 21 points in any game this year, and we're averaging 42.6 points per game. Oh yeah, we're only favored by 9.5. You may want to pick us."

@NOTREDAME -9 Tennessee

You don't get where I am by picking the winner of the Florida Atlantic/Troy State game. That being said, I'm sitting in a stuffy office on a Friday afternoon waiting for my boss to call me and discuss a book about Scanning Electron Microscopes. Good Times! Either way, I'm kind of torn on this game. Notre Dame is back, they have a successful head coach locked up for the next ten years (or until he drops three straight to USC) and there is a general good feeling in Souith Bend. On the other hand, Tennessee followed up a 3 point showing against Alabama by losing their third game in a row in a squeaker against South Carolina. Hmmm, a team with a struggling offense taking on a head coach who is arguably one of the greatest offensive minds in football. Sounds like a real tough one here. HOWEVER, Tennessee is primed for a big win, and if they want to be even considered for a bowl game, they need to win now. I see the Vols putting up a good effort for 3 quarters, but when the game goes final, the Irish will win by 10 in my LOCK OF THE WEEK.

Well, that's it for this week. As always, comments are appreciated.
