Pick-em and Family Fued!

OK I am trying to improve on my 2 and 10 record from last week.  I think I will do it because college football cant be that crazy two weeks in a row.  Or can it.  Without further rambling here are my picks.  

1.) Baylor vs. Texas- Texas might still be slightly emotionally drained.  After a tough loss to Texas Tech last week they are now at the hands of the BCS gods and no longer hold their own destiny in their hands.  Baylor is a very young athletic team but just dont have the talent to keep up with Texas.   Texas is too well coached and will win big. TEXAS!

2.) Ohio State vs. Northwestern-  With Terrell Pryor and Mike Kafka, the probable starter for Northwestern, these two teams have definate running threats at quarterbacks. If Bacher is ready then the Wildcats will have a proven leader in this game, if not Kafka ran for 200 yards last week.  Ohio State's defense constantly has problems with mobile quaterbacks.  Ohio State will continue those struggles this week.  NORTHWESTERN!

3.) Kansas vs. Nebraska- Nebraska has struggled this year.  Other than a close loss to Texas Tech they have shown no real signs of the dominant program they used to be.  On the other hand Kansas has found an offense again and it is dominant.  Kansas should win this game big.  KANSAS!

4.) Alabama vs. LSU- Suprisingly Alabama is still rolling under Nick Saban.  They have looked dominant at times.  LSU's once proud, strong defense has been devastated by other SEC teams.  Both of these teams have mediocre quaterbacks.  I think LSU's defense will play well and get some of their confidence back.  Alabama will win though close.  ALABAMA!

5.) Stanford vs. Oregon- Oregon is full of talent.  Their quaterback, Roper, can run all over the field and throws the ball well.  Stanford is just like their coach, mentally and physically tough.  They are playing for bowl eligibility.  The Pac-10 is weak and Stanford is just good enough to stay in the middle.  Oregon makes alot of mistakes.  STANFORD!

6.) Oklahoma State vs. texas Tech- This will be a shoot out.  I think it would be best if neither defense showed up.  Last year Graham Harrell threw for 600+ yards and still lost.  Oklahoma State has an incredible offense.  But as I said last week a much improved Texas Tech defense will be the difference.  This one will be close but Techs defense wil get the stop they need.  TEXAS TECH!

7.) Notre Dame vs. Boston College- This is game makes me sad.  It is a historically big game that means absolutely nothing.  Boston College is a mediocre team in a rebuilding year  and Notre Dame is a mediocre team in the middle of what seems like a Rebuilding decade.  This will resemble all of Notre Dame's games this year, it will be ugly.  NOTRE DAME!

8.) Cal vs. USC- I will make this pick with no bias. Really I promise.  USC continues to win despite the fact that they are only mediocre but their conference sucks so i guess that is not that impressive.  They are one of the most talented teams in the nation.  Cal has not looked convincing in one of their wins.  This will be a battle for dominance in the Pac-10 which is literally like a slap fight between two eight year old girls.  USC's talent will be toomuch for Cal. USC!

9.) Vanderbilt vs.  Florida (UPSET SPECIAL!)- Thats right let the emails pour in.  I am picking Vandy.  They are a good team in case you all forgot.  Sure Florida is fast and talented and really really good, but Vandy is scrappy. I think they will keep it close and pull this out at the end. VANDY VANDY VANDY!

10.) UNT vs. FAU (WHO CARES GAME)- I am picking this game only because I am going to it.  I am rooting for UNT and since I will be giving the pre-game speech (FALSE) they will win.  UNT!

FAMILY FUED

This is something new.  I let Elysa and John pick the games.  John actually did some research and some coin flipping.  Elysa jsut picked the coolest mascot.  Either way they are far inferior to my complete football analysis.
