NCAA Picks.

Nothing special today, I am tired and I have wrote enough to be considered Willie Shakespeare. Anyways if you wonder why doesn't Chuck write as much anymore? Well, its not because I hate blogging, I just have loads of school work on top of its a lot writing. Moooving on.

1. Florida-at Mississippi State- A game that I worry about for the chances of Florida winning a National Championship because they have lost three straight at Starkville and head coach Dan Mullen was the former offensive coordinator last year. Another one coming down to the wire and Tim Tebow gives them a late drive to remember. UF 34-31

2. Alabama-vs. Tennessee- The third Saturday of the October and the annual Tide-Vols game. This one shouldn't be that close though. The Vols have made some strides since the Florida game but not enough against Bama. BAMA 24-9

3. Texas-at Missouri- If there is any chance for an upset, I feel the Tigers can do it. The weather conditions will be bad and I have not been impressed with the Longhorns all year. I think the Tigers will get it done tonight in the upset of the day. MIZZOU 31-28

4. Boise State-at Hawaii- The Broncos got a favorable spot by the BCS and they are playing a pretty weak Warrior team. Despite on the road and the travel, they will be fine in this one. BSU 45-21

5. Cincinnati-at Louisville- Some are saying this has a chance for an upset but the Ville hasn't been relevant since Brian Brohm left. The Bearcats are missing Tony Pike whose out with injury but as I said earlier this week, Brian Kelly is a genius. CINCY 35-20

6. Iowa-at Michigan State- One game I worry about this most because I have just booked my weekend to Iowa City for the final weekend and this week could screw everything up for me. Kirk Cousins isn't clutch and they will fold in the second half. IOWA 31-17

4\
8. TCU-at 16. BYU- The Mountain West matchup of the year and the Horned Frogs could pave the road to a BCS bowl game if they win on the road in Utah. The Fightin' Chets will come through and dash the Mountain West dreams. BYU 24-21

9. LSU-vs. Auburn- LSU like the Buckeyes have raised questions about their quarterback and people are wondering if there is time for a change but Auburn has lost the last two, the wheels feel like they are falling off. LSU 21-10

10. Miami-vs. Clemson- The Hurricanes get back into the ACC this week and they are facing a tough running Tiger team with C.J. Spiller. Clemson hasnt had a signature win and Jacory Harris still is playing good football. MIAMI 28-14

11. Oregon-at Washington- Big time uspet alert. The Huskies have played very well at home and the Ducks have been playing no ones. Mitch Pratt will have to tell me if Jeremiah Masoli is playing or not, I will take the Ducks in a close one. ORE 23-20

12. Georgia Tech-at Virgina- The Yellow Jackets had a great win last week and have put themselves in a pretty good position. You have to worry about a letdown but the Cavaliers are a bad football team, it will be closer than expected. GT 31-21

13. Penn State-at Michigan- A classic Big 10 rivalry in the past with Braylon Edwards making a catch at the buzzer to win or the matchup of Tom Brady-LaVar Arrington where we all thought Arrington was going to be the better pro. I think the Nittany Lion defense is too tough for the young quarterback even at home, this will another close battle. PSU 20-13

15. Oklahoma State-at Baylor- Still without Dez Bryant, and the Cowboys playing another Big 12 cellar dweller that they shouldn't have a problem with even though its on the road. OSU 38-10

16. BYU-SEE 8. TCU

18. Utah-vs. Air Force-This one will not be pretty, the Utes have been steady since the lost against Oregon. They should win big again in this one. UTAH 42-17

19. Ohio State-vs. Minnesota- I have this feeling that the Buckeyes could be heading for a tailspin due to the fact Pryor's HS coach calling out Tressel's play calling and the whole "Lebron supports Terrelle" stuff, I think Pryor will come out rattled again. The Buckeyes pull this one out with a late field goal. OSU 16-13

20. Pittsburgh-vs. South Florida- The Bulls let me down last weekend getting thrashed by the Bearcats and now they head into Pittsburgh which will not be like Miami whatsoever. The cold conditions are going to make it a good day for the Panthers. PITT 21-3

22. Arizona-vs. UCLA- The Wildcats are ranked by the BCS and they have been good so far. Mike Stoops has done a great job rebuilding the program and the should be fine against a helpless Bruin team. ZONA 23-10

23. West Virigina-vs. UConn- My roommate Seth and I talked about this today dealing the death of Jasper Howard. He summed it up perfectly "Either they will play inspired or fall very falt." I hope they do it for Jasper. UCONN 28-24

24. South Carolina-vs. Vanderbilt- The Gamecocks stay in the mix even after the tough loss against the Tide the week before. Vandy isnt much of a team and the Gamecocks defense is tougher than nails. USC 24-3

25. Kansas-vs. Oklahoma- When would ever think the Jayhawks would be ranked over the Sooners? Interesting matchup heading to Lawrence where the weather will not be pleasant. I think Landry Jones will struggle and Todd Reesing prevails. KU 42-38
