Let me start with the most important game for most of you.
Florida State over Wake Forest
This Demon Deacon team has been a pain in the neck to us Seminole fans. This team has really given us problems recently. Including their upset win last year, most of us want no part of Wake Forest. However, this year we should have too much talent for them to compete. I think their upset last year will have us focused as well. Jim Grobe does have great counters to our schemes though and as you know by now I have a tremendous for Jim Grobe. Today I think we win no problem, Jimbo has these boys focused.
Virginia Tech over Pittsburgh
Northern Illinois over Army
Miami over Bethune Cookman
Maryland over UCONN
Big game for Maryland with Randy Edsall facing off against his old school. Fresh off an upset win over Temple, the Terps should move to a surprising 3-0 record.
Auburn over LA Monroe
This game has a lot more attention after the latter team knocked off Arkansas last week. It seems unlikely that Monroe will knock off a second SEC team in a row and move Auburn to to 0-3 though.
Vandy over Presbyterian
Clemson over Furman
Alabama over Arkansas
Alabama will absolutely curbstomp Arkansas. I am calling for a huge margin of victory. We are talking 50 points maybe. Alabama is looking to make a statement and Arkansas is looking like a pile of garbage this year. John L.Smith was such a terrible coaching decision as I said on this blog at the time. That was the worst coaching hire made in an extremely long time and Arkansas will have a rough year because of it.
Georgia Tech over UVA
Georgia Tech has looked better this year from what I have seen. Love Mike London as a coach, but they looked pretty horrible last week.
Upset Special #1
Boston College over Northwestern
So not much of an upset, but Northwestern is 2-0 and coming off a huge win over Vandy. BC looks ready to go. They did lose to Miami though, so I am not super confident in this pick.
Louisville over UNC
Louisville looks tough. UNC doesn't. This one might not be close.
Penn State over Navy
Penn State looked good last week and Navy has not looked to great this year. Penn State gets their first win since 1998 in this one.
Upset Special #2
SMU over A&M
Coming off a hard fought loss to the Gators, SMU welcomes the Aggies. These guys want to prove they can play with the big boys and that they are back.
NC State over South Alabama
Tennessee over Florida
The Vols want to prove they are a threat again in the SEC East and this is a statement game for them.
Missouri over Arizona State
Arizona State is one of the few teams that I have not seen this season. I have seen Missouri and they looked good for most of the game against a great Georgia team. Think Missouri wins a close game today.
South Carolina over UAB
Miss State over Troy
Georgia over Florida Atlantic
LSU over Idaho
Texas over Ole Miss
The Longhorns look to prove they are legit and make a statement today against the SEC.
Bonus Pick: Upset Special #3
Notre Dame over Michigan State
The Fighting Irish against Sparty looks like a toss up game to me. This game definitely could go either way. It will be interesting to see how the Irish do as the competition heats up. This is the game of the day for me.
