College Football Picks: Week 10
November 6th 2009 06:00
After nine weeks of college football, I have drawn a few conclusions:
1. There is no dominant team in the college football world.
2. no one respects the Big Ten Conference
3. Lou Holtz does not lend himself well to hi definition television
4. I didn't know this...but Duke has a football program!!!
5. BCS controversy is inevitable.
Anyway, on to this weeks picks:
Northwestern at #8 Iowa:
If there is one team that has had the number of the Hawkeyes in recent years...it is the Northwestern Wildcats. It seems that they always find a way to win in Iowa City. However, I believe this Hawkeye team is a team of destiny and they find a way to get it done against the Wildcats.
NU 17 Iowa 30
South Carolina at Arkansas:
A black and blue SEC battle. Is there any better way to spend a saturday. Steve Spurrier vs Bobby Petrino. I give Petrino the edge...just barely
SCU 21 Arkansas 24
Duke at North Carolina:
Duke has a football program that has wandered the desert of ineptitude for decades...but don't look now, but the Blue Devils are one win away from bowl eligibility. UNC is a tough team and it will be a tall order...I say the Devils don't have enough on this day
Duke 17 UNC 28
#7 Oregon at Stanford:
The Quack Attack is back. Oregon trounced USC and are skyrocketing up the standings. This could be a trap game, but I think Oregon is focused and continues their winning ways.
Oregon 28 Stanford 13
#12 USC at Arizona State:
USC is reeling after that dismantling in Eugene Oregon. ASU would be a nice bounceback game...if they didn't always give the Trojans trouble. I say USC gets it done.
USC 21 ASU 10
#15 Ohio State at #11 Penn State:
I predict a whiteout... Buckeye QB Terelle Pryor enters another hostile environment where crowd noise will be a factor. I predict we see the Pryor of old...and by that I mean interceptions and mistakes.
Ohio State 17 Penn State 31
#9 LSU at #3 Alabama:
The game of the weekend, Alabama on a bye week fell to number 3 in the BCS. A big win over the Tigers would conceivably put them back in the number 2 slot. I think that it will be a hard pounding game...and the tide gets it done...but don't bet the farm on it.
LSU 13 Alabama 16
Upset Picks:
#24 Wisconsin at Indiana:
After last week's game in Iowa City, you have to feel for the Hoosiers. They came up short again...one of these times they have to hold on...I say they do it this week.
Wisconsin 21 Indiana 24
#18 Oklahoma State at Iowa State:
This is an Oklahoma State team whose season has kept going from bad to worse. First Dez Bryant gets suspended...then they get spanked at home to the Texas Longhorns. The trend continues on Saturday in Ames.
Ok St. 14 ISU 20
#20 Oklahoma at Nebraska:
One can't help but remember years ago when this matchup always had the potential of being a one vs two game. We are far from then...but this is still an intriguing matchup. I say the Bo Pellini led Huskers beat backup QB Landry Jones and the Sooners.
Oklahoma 28 Nebraska 32
