I am really work on creative titles. That one is about as cheesy as it gets so if you think you have better ones for the picks and the wrap-up each week email me at tritscca@uwec.edu contemplating a gmail account for the Corner itself. Anyways, lets goooooo
1. Florida-vs. Tennessee- There a couple things that I wouldn't do in life. One of those things would be to not piss off Urban Meyer and the boys from Florida. If Lane Kiffin would have just said like Lovie Smith did, "I'm here to beat the Floridas, Georgias, and Alabamas and try to build a program." Well he didnt do that and now he will be getting his ass kicked. UF 49-21
2. Texas-vs. Texas Tech- Another team who is seeking revenge this weekend after the "Michael Crabtree game" last year where the Red Raiders put their stamp on the map. They have played a fluff schedule so far and they struggle on the road, rut roh. The Longhorns win handily. UT 38-16
3. USC-at Washington- The Trojans need to be careful in this one with having Taylor Mays/Matt Barkley both banged up and a Husky team who would like to show they belong plus some added USC ties. I think this game is close until the fourth quarter. USC 31-21
4. Alabama-vs. North Texas- This shouldn't be a challenge for the Crimson Tide who are getting themselves prepared for the dog fight in the SEC. BAMA 35-3
5. Penn State-vs. Temple- Didn't the Owls get rid of their football team? Oh wait they just downgraded leagues. Well Joe Pa's bunch hasn't played any juggernauts yet but their D does look intimidating. PSU 38-3
5. Mississippi-vs. SE Louisiana- The Rebels are in the same spot as the Cowboys last week. Are they for real or not? Good thing they are playing an FCS team so there shouldn't be a letdown at all. OLE MISS 45-14
7. BYU-vs. Florida State- Before my blog got deleted, I said how weird and strange it was that a top powerhouse program was nowhere to be found in a top 25 heading to a non-BCS team. It will be another tough weekend for the ACC as the Noles will fall again. BYU 27-17
8. California-at Minnesota- Another Chuck's Corner Upset Alert!! I think this one makes perfect sense to be a very tight ball game. The Golden Bears are usually just getting up when this game begins therefore the internal clocks might not be there. The stadium is still brand new and they want to protect the turf. Jahvid Best wills his team to victory, barely. CAL 31-28
9. LSU-vs. LA Layfette- Like I said before, the blog got deleted at some point while writing therefore I have no real ounce of care in my body to tell you about this one... blowout. LSU 34-17
1o. Boise State-at Fresno State- Chuck's Corner's Upset Alert time... The Bulldogs looked very impressive against Wisconsin who I would consider a middle of the road Big Ten team on the road. The Bulldogs have a great offense with an average defense. But I call the upset happens in the Valley. FSU 41-35
11. Ohio State-at Toledo- The Rockets put up a huge number of points against "Intermurals Brother" but I highly doubt this will happen against the Buckeyes. They are hungry, out for revenge from last weekend. OSU 35-17
12. Oklahoma-vs. Tulsa- This will be the first true test for Landry Jones and his mustache to see if he is the real deal because the Golden Hurricane are a decent team. They aren't the best yet they will push him. Close until the fourth. OKLA 38-24
13. Virginia Tech-vs. 19. Nebraska- The Hokies head into another tough game where Tyrod Taylor will be tested and I think he is a bit like Terrelle Pryor in using his legs too damn much. If he loses this one, I think we have to put him into question. I think Taylor pulls it out late in a defensive struggle. VT 17-13
14. Georgia Tech-at 20. Miami- This is the big showdown tomorrow night where the Yellow Jackets have won four straight against the Canes and Miami has a chance to prove that they have staying power if they win. I think the U gets it done, they had a lot of time to prepared and they are ready for a big time win at home. MIAMI 24-21
15. TCU-vs. Texas State- This game will get ugly seeing as they are playing the Sisters of the Poor. The Horned Frogs have it pretty easy on Saturday. TCU 42-0
16. Okla. State-vs. Rice- I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I was that the Cowboys lost last Saturday. I always like new teams breaking the mold of the regulars and they proved they are just another pretender. Pokes get it done this week though. OSU 38-10
17. Cincinnati-at Oregon St.- I think this is a true test to see who is the real deal. One side have the Tony Pike-Mardy Gilyard connection while on the other side you got Jacquizz Rodgers and friends. This will be a battle but I think the Beavers get it done on a late FG. OSU 34-31
18. Utah-at Oregon- The Fightin Mitch Pratts welcome a non-BCS team to the Autzen Zoo where it isn't easy to get a win. The Ducks are still tyring to find themselves after a close win against Purdue who isn't all that special. Oregon will find a way to find and not lose to another mid-major. ORE 35-24
19. Nebraska- SEE 13. Virginia Tech
20. Miami- SEE 14. Georgia Tech
22. Kansas-vs. Duke- Does anyone wish this was scheduled as a basketball game? This will be a thrashing of the Blue Devils with the high-power Jayhawk offense. KU 45-6
23. Georgia-at Arkansas- The Dawgs have not found a way to stop anyone on defense which concerns me going up a team featuring Ryan Mallet and a real good offensive plan. This one has all the making of an upset with the Hogs have two weeks to prepare plus a home-opener. ARK 28-24
24. North Carolina-vs. East Carolina- The Tar Heels got bailed out by a safety last weekend and they play a Pirate team who isn't shy of the upset. This one will be close for awhile but a big turnover will change the game. UNC 31-17
25. Michigan-vs. Eastern Michigan- If the Wolverines have a let down in this one, I think that all hope is lost for the program. They should be fine and like I said earlier in the week, Tate Forcier is the real deal. MICH 42-9
