It’s almost the weekend, and you know that means football time. Usually, I only do college preview, but I will state that the game I’m most looking forward to is tonight when my high school alma mater Bishop Gorman (NV) takes on USA Today’s #1 Booker T. Washington HS (FL) on ESPNU. I’m not sure how we’re going to fare against the best team in the nation, but should be a fun atmosphere for high school football either way.
Secondly, last week was a very mixed review for me in the college football landscape as I did great with my picks, but went to see my favorite team the, USC Trojans, play in Tempe, and they got smoked…….and fired their coach. Rough! However, this is a new week and, so it begins. Last week, i went 49/55 in my season best, but hopefully I can match or even do better. Here are the picks for this week…..
10 Oklahoma over TCU
9 LSU over Mississippi State
8 Stanford over Washington
7 Ohio State over Northwestern (34-20) Game of the Week
6 Penn State over Indiana
5 Ole Miss over Auburn
4 Arizona State over Notre Dame
3 Vanderbilt over Missouri
2 Michigan State over Iowa
1 Air Force over Navy (Thankfully Congress didn’t stop this matchup)
So, College Gameday will be live from Evanston, IL, home of the Northwestern Wildcats. It is an exciting matchup because Northwestern has not always been known for their football prowess, and it is good to see them in the national spotlight. Although, they have a very tall task in taking on THE Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State is currently 17-0 in the Urban Meyer era so far. 17-0!!! In a battle of Big Ten unbeatens, will there be some upset magic from the Wildcats, or will be the big bad boys from Columbus continue their quest towards a national championship?
