College Football Picks For Today

More ACC, SEC, and Interesting Game Picks. I missed on one game last week, but had a very solid first week. I even hit on my upset special. Here are some more picks...

Kansas State over Miami
Miami wasn't that impressive in a win over a BC team that isn't that good. Kansas State has better athletes and will win the game at home.
 
NC State over UConn
The Wolfpack should get back on track against an unimpressive UCONN team.
 
Temple over Maryland
I told you that Maryland was the worst team in the ACC and could lose to William & Mary. They almost did, and they will lose tonight.
 
UVA over Penn State
The Cavs are going to be good this year. Penn State is not going to be good. This one could get rather ugly.
Auburn over Mississippi State
One of the games of the week. I expect Auburn to bounce back after a loss to a very good Clemson team, that could easily compete for a national title. Auburn could still affect the title picture and will win a tough game today.
 
South Carolina over East Carolina
Clemson over Ball State
BC over Maine
Virginia Tech over Austin Peay
 
UNC over Wake
If Maryland is the worst team in the ACC, Wake isn't that far behind this year it seems. Wake looked pathetic against Liberty last week. If they are going to upset the Tar Heels a lot has to change. Based on last week and talent on their rosters, UNC wins in a route. As a big Jim Grobe fan, I hope I am wrong and Wake pulls it out.
 
Alabama over Western Kentucky
 
Michigan over Air Force
Michigan burned me last week. There is a chance they will do it again. Depending on how much hangover there is about last week's beatdown, Michigan could easily lose to Air Force. I expect Brady Hoke to bounce back against the service academy though.
 
Notre Dame over Purdue
The Irish looked impressive last week. This team could get to the BCS if they build off last week. Will there be hangover from a long trip though against a good Purdue team?
 
Texas A&M over Florida
A & M will impress in their SEC debut. Florida looked horrible in their opening game last week. It is all setting up for the Aggies.
 
Tennessee over Georgia State
 
FSU over Savannah State
Lots of people have been giving the Noles flack over this opponent. However, consider that it was supposed to be West Virginia and then the Mountaineers bailed. With West Virginia on the docket the Noles had 3 legit out of conference opponents. Without them it doesn't look as well, but when an opponent bails we are left with who we can get. So in comes the huge underdog Savannah State who will get thrashed this week.
LSU over Washington
Arkansas over Louisiana Monroe
Georgia Tech over Presbyterian
 
Army over San Diego State
The black knights will get it done in this one. This team will get close to bowl eligible, not sure they get there, but they get on track today.
 
Kentucky over Kent State
 
Georgia over Missouri
This one makes me nervous. The four suspensions on defense for the Bulldogs could cause them problems given that this is Missouri's SEC debut and they will look to impress at home. However, these guys have to much talent to lose this one.
 
Upset Special
Duke over Stanford
Some wouldn't call this an upset, but Stanford is ranked and Duke is not. Also most people still expect Duke to lose all the time. It will take a while for that perception to change. I will have said numerous times that Duke is no longer the ACC doormat. I also believe they get to bowl eligible this year. Today these guys prove it.

College Football Picks For Today

Football Season is here. Everyone is excited. I have not covered the start of the season as much as I would like, but I did do my predictions recently. Each week I will predict all ACC, SEC, Service Academy, and other intriguing game to me. I will only predict the Saturday games though.
 
Notre Dame Over Navy
Notre Dame will win a close game in my opinion. Questions all around for the Irish, but Brian Kelly absolutely has to win this game. If the Irish lose to Navy in Ireland, Brian Kelly might have to swim back across.
Sorry Brian, it is just the truth. You can settle down man. Must win for the Irish.

Georgia over Buffalo
Well I did kind of have high expectations for the Bulldogs. Check my pics for the year.
 
West Virginia over Marshall
The only reason I put this in is because I think this will be the most lopsided game of the week.
 
Upset Special: Ohio over Penn State
Yes, Penn State will be geared up for this game, but there are too many distractions and Ohio is better than people think. Maybe this is my heart on this pick, but I think it will happen.
 
North Carolina over Elon
Air Force over Idaho State
 
Maryland over William & Mary
This year Maryland will be the worst team in the ACC. They will supplant Duke. Do not be surprised if William & Mary pulls this out. I got Maryland in a close game.
 
Virginia over Richmond
The Cavs could be scary in the Atlantic this year.
 
Florida over Bowling Green
Miami over BC
 
FSU over Murray State
I am extremely excited about this Seminole team. Murray State is not the best team in the world, but FSU starts their possible title run against them this year. I really like our chances this year. Today won't be close though.
 
Wake Forest over Liberty
LSU over North Texas
Arkansas over Jacksonville State
 
Clemson over Auburn
Clemson will help bring respectability back to the ACC this year. I fully expect Clemson, Tech, and FSU to be very good this year. This is a huge game for the ACC and Clemson has to come through. However, Sammy Watkins is out, so it may be tough.
 
Ole Miss over Central Arkansas
Duke over FIU
Mississippi State over Jackson State
Rutgers over Tulane
 
And finally, the big game....
and an upset special
Michigan over Alabama
So since my original prediction, I have changed my mind. I just got a crazy feeling that Michigan will pull off this upset. They will do it, Robinson will become the Heisman favorite and the Wolverines will become the title favorite. Everyone expects Alabama to win, a week ago I thought they would too, but I am a big fan of Brady Hoke and think he has his team incredibly prepared. Big Blue makes a statement tonight. As the picture says if you expect to lose, don't play. Michigan absolutely does not expect to lose tonight.
