Pick-em and more!

Well tonight is the night!  I am picking some of the big games, or atleast big to me, games on saturday.  Dont ask me to pick pro games because I am not that interested.  If you havent realized i am a big college football fan and NFL doesnt mean as much to me.  On the subject of college football, before I make my picks, I have to speak on my favorite sports moment so far this year.  In a thursday night game between the Bulls of  south Florida and the Bearcats of cincinnati, Marshawn Gilyard tried to catch a pass in the corner of the end zone.  He barreled through an opening in the wall seperating the fans from the field and flattened some pour kid.  Instead of running back and argueing the catch he took off his helmet and lifted the kid in a heartwarming embrace.  I loved it! It was a moment that should be exalted in sports.  It meant more to me than who would win the heisman or any other lame bullshit that goes on this season in any level of football.  It showed character and i am proud of this young man.  We need more like him! Ok now on with this week's picks.

1.) Texas v. Texas Tech-The first agument of course is that Texas looks like a dominant team this year.  But this game is in Lubbock and Tech did look great on defense last year.  They have also given up very few sacks this year.  I am picking TECH.  They will outscore Texas and end up the front runner in the Big 12 south.

2.) Florida v. Georgia-This is a showdown for SEC supremacy.  After last year this has become a giant grudge match.  Florida feels that their pride was hurt.  I think that Florida with , harvin, demps, and rainey, are too fast.  I am picking Florida and big.

3.) Oregon v. Cal-This is a big battle for second place in the Pac-10, not a great conference but atleast its something.  Plus if Cal wins they might get the chance to bust into the top 25.  With all that said i think Oregon and that high powered running game will run away with it.  Oregon is the winner.

4.) FSU v. Georgia Tech-This is a big game in the wide open ACC.  Both of these teams need a win to stay available for the top spot in the ACC.  Georgia is much improved but I think FSU has more to play for.  I pick FSU.

5.) Miami (FL) v. Virginia-Another big game in the ACC.  If Miami wins they are in a tie for first in the ACC coastal.  A win for Virginia means they will keep their own hope alive.  Miami is fast but I think Virginia will pull out the victory over the younger MIami squad.  I pick Virginia.

6.) Northwestern v. Minnesota-This is a battle for that third spot in the Big 10.  Minnesota is trying to prove that they belong in the top of that conference and Northwestern wants everyone to know that they weren't a fluke at the beginning of the year.  I think Minnesota will win this game.

7.) Notre Dame v. Pitt-These two teams are trying to break into the top 25.  Pitt has looked like a top 25 team at times but without Shady Mccoy I dont think they have a chance.  Notre dame has flashes of a good team.  I think they will win this game.  I am picking Notre Dame.

8.) Tulsa v. Arkansas-Although Arkansas looks like garbage they are still an SEC team.  I think that Tulsa might be exposed this week.  Although Arkansas is middle of the roas i think that their defense might give Tulsa a run.  Arkansas will look good but Tulsa will win.  I pick tulsa!

9.) Utah v. New Mexico-this is my upset alert pick.  Utah might be looking forward to their big game next week against TCU.  New Mexico is a good team and if you over look them they could sneak a win! Obviously since this is my Upset alert I am picking New Mexico.

10.) North Texas v. Western Kentucky- this is my who cares pick.  Western Kentuck has atleast won a game which might make them the hands down favorite.  But UNT is a texas team and you just never know.  I am Picking WKU!
