Not much time to post - I'm leaving to go on tour with the University of Miami football team. Don't bring your ho' to the 7th flo'.

On to the picks:

Last week - 4-1 (That's what happens when Rutgers f**ks a stranger in the @$$) Lesson - when you dance on your opponent's 50 yard line a la T.O. in Dallas, you're bound to get beaten 56-5.

Overall, 10-4-1

@ UVA +7 VA Tech - The Hokies lead the "Commonwealth Classic" series VT leads 44-37-5. Plus, Jimmy Williams of VA Tech is one of five finalists for the Bronko Nagurski Award. That's just fun to say, "Nagurski." I'm taking Tech to cover.

@ Mich. State +7.5 Penn State - The BCS committee is pitching a major tent over the possibility of a Notre Dame/Penn State bowl game. Personally, I can think of a few people who would be morally torn over who to root for. PSU won't disappoint this week, covering against the Spartans. Speaking of the Irish . . .

Syracuse +34.5 @ Notre Dame - Though it is a long shot, Brady Quinn could throw for like 7 TD's and a solid 400 yards this week and move in as a legit Heisman candidate. I swear I did this the other night on my X-Box. Syracuse is just the team to let this happen. However, I don't see Charlie Weis running up the score, and although ND is 6-2 against the spread this season, I don't see them beating it this week. Syracuse will still lose the game, but they'll cover the spread.

@ Michigan +3 OSU
- I'm only picking this one because my buddy Jeff is going to the game with his step sister and her friends. I'll be honest - a lot is made of this rivalry, but since neither team is spectacular this year, I'll probably play Madden rather than watch it. That being said, I'm taking Michigan to win. Go Blue!

Temple +28 @Navy - On their quest for perfection, Temple should have no trouble losing their last game of the season. When the AD drew up the schedule at the beginning of the year on the premise that Temple as an independent school would play a tough schedule, I'm not quite sure he thought he'd lose every game. If that was his intent, well congrats on a successful season. Navy will sure up bowl eligibility with this win; Temple will sure up their worst season ever (0-11). I see Navy steamrolling the Owls (with starting OT/Goon Nehemiah Ingram) by a solid 35 points this week.

Until next week . . .
