Pick-ems and more ignorant picks from the Family

Well another saturday is upon us.  This week's picks are terrifying because I could easily go 9-1, excluding my upset pick which is totally ridiculous, or 0-10. With the science of the picks aside this could prove to be one of the best weeks of football this year.  Well here we go!

1.) Air Force v. TCU-  Air Force has showed some signs this year of being a good if not great offensive team.  But TCU's defense might just be too much to handle.  TCU still has an outside shot at a really good bowl game and they are pushing hard for some respect.  I think their defense will be just too much for Air Force.  TCU

2.) BYU v. Utah-  This is a bitter rivalry game which means anything can happen.  Utah doesn't look like a BCS buster but a legitimate top 10 team. BYU still has an amazing offense and maybe jsut enough defense.  BYU

3.) Cincinatti v. Pitt-  This is a Big East battle with title implications.  Both teams hold their own destinies in their hands.  Pitt's Lesean "Shady" Mccoy is a big play threat but always seems to be trying too hard.  Cinci has a strong defensive front and some playmakers in the defensive backfield.  Pitt qb has only thrown 5 touchdowns and matched that number in interceptions.  Cincinatti's offense is explosive but inconsistent.The winner of this game is the front runner for the Big East championship.  CINCINATTI

4.) Boston College v. Wake forest- Both of these teams are trying to stay afloat in the jumbled  ACC.  BC has beat Notre Dame and Florida State after losing to Clemson and North Carolina three weeks ago.  Wake Forest is mediocre and has really struggled on offense this season.   BOSTON COLLEGE

5.) Stanford v. Cal- Cal is a truly competitive team with some real identity problems at quaterback.  After a big win in Oregon they have lost their last two.   Stanford has a pretty good offense.  They scored more points on USC than ony other team this year other than Oregon State.  This is Stanford's last chance to be bowl eligible.  STANFORD

6.) Florida State v. Maryland-  These are the top 2 teams in the ACC atlantic division.  Maryland needs to win because they have something to prove to the nation.  They are two wins away from being the ACC Atlantic Champions.  They are 4-0 against the top 25 and 6-0 at home.  This game is in Maryland.  The FSU secondary will be lacking with Myron Rolle interviewing for the Rhodes Scholar and Mclure hurt.  FSU has alot of weapons on offense but I don't think it will be enough.  MARYLAND

7.) Michigan State v Penn State-  Michigan State has Javon Ringer and he is the third best rusher  in Division 1.  However they also have Moyer at quaterback and he is in a slump.  Penn State has a fantastic run defense and this might turn out to be a blow out.  PENN STATE

8.) Texas Tech v. Oklahoma-  This will be an offensive shoot out for the ages.  Oklahoma has the best offense on paper but this is a different breed of Tech team.  Tech has a great run game and a big play defense.  Oklahoma has given up alot of yards ans alot of points.  Not ot sound redundant but Tech will make the defensive stops it needs to.  TEXAS TECH

9.) Washington State v. Washington-  The Apple Cup is on the line but no one really cares.  I like Tyrone Willingham and hopefully he pulls this one out.  WASHINGTON

10.) Michigan v. Ohio State-  This is my upset special.  I am picking Michigan because I love the Maize and Blue.  I have no real stats or insite other than this; No first year coach at Michigan has ever lost to Ohio State.  This is Rich Rod's first year and that is good enough for me.  MICHIGAN
