Random college football thoughts
Sorry I haven't posted this week, I procrasinated on a book report due tommorrow, I just finished it. Anyways, here are some totally random thought about college football.
-A Florida team without Tim Tebow isn't going to win 9, 10 or 11 games. Try the 6-8 range. Tebow will insist on playing against LSU, but if your not 100% you don't win in Death Valley.
- Alabama is the best team in the nation. Hands down. Look at my above note about Florida, and Texas is playing well, but they aren't playing like the #1 team in the land. And we all know, defense wins championships. Alabama has the best D I've seen this year in college football (it's nowhere near the Jet's D-line, which I'll hopefully get to in an upcoming post)
- Cincinnati won't live up to the hype. Teams that have gotten hyped so much, hmmm let's think about Miami, BYU, Florida State. Cincy is an "up and coming" team, just like those teams were. They aren't going to run the table. Tony Pike isn't Peyton Manning. And ESPN people, Tony Pike isn't the best QB no one has heard of. Because I've heard of him. And I think Kirk Cousins is better (yeah, that's probably biased, but he's still a sophmore!)
- What's the deal with LSU? Yeah sure, we all know they can win in Death Valley, but what the heck happened against Mississippi State? I'm not going to rank a team in the top 5 that was 6 inches away from losing against the annual cellar-dwellers of the SEC.
- Michigan isn't that good. They just aren't. Let's look at who they beat. They beat Western (I refer to Western Michigan as Western, Eastern Michigan as Eastern, and Central Michigan as CMU), which is not much of a feat. They beat a Notre Dame team that is 3-1. But Notre Dame's loss is to Michigan, their wins are over Nevada (WAC team) and Michigan State and Purdue, 2 teams that lost to MAC teams (CMU and Northern Illinois, respectively). Michigan beat Eastern, and the game was closer than the 45-17 score indicated, scUM (Michigan) didn't put the game away until the 4th quarter against the annual cellar-dwellers of the MAC. They beat Indiana (one of the big ten's worst) by 3 points, and in the game appeared worse at tackling than Michigan State (and that's saying something). Long rant short, Michigan is not one of the best teams in the nation.

NFL picks (against spread) week 3
Here are my (against spread) NFL picks for week 3:
Spread picks (so far): 10-3
Over/Under picks (so far): 6-7
Total (so far): 16-10
O.K., my best against the spread is 11-5 in one week. Ever. Which makes me think, how the heck am I 10-3 so far? I think I'll skip over/under's from now on, it's too much of a guess. But hey, 10-3 isn't too shabby, combined with 12-6 college.

College Football Picks Week 4
Note that these are OPINION picks.
Record this week: 12-6
Record this week: 12-6
correct
incorrect
Alabama -15.5
Arkansas +15.5
Ryan Mallet looked impressive for Arkansas, I don't think Alabama can cover.
Boise State -17
Bowling Green +17
This is an easy one, Boise State should cover this and go above and beyond. They almost covered 17 against a good Fresno State team, Bowling Green is much worse than Fresno.
Iowa +10
Penn State -10
When Penn State is playing a mediocre big 10 team in happy valley, it's going to be a blowout. 41-10 PSU, easy cover.
Missouri -7.5
Nevada +7.5
Earth to people in Vegas, earth to people in Vegas. Do you realize what you're doing here? Nevada is the 3rd best WAC team behind Boise and Fresno, but Missouri is one of the most underrated teams in the nation. Easy cover.
Fresno State +15.5
Cincinnati -15.5
Call me crazy, but I'll take Fresno straight up against Cincy. The Big East is extremely overrated and Fresno gave a much better Boise team a run for their money. Ryan Matthews is a beast, too.
North Carolina +2.5
Georgia Tech -2.5
I've gotta go with UNC here, I'm not high on either of these teams. I know Georgia Tech has hung around with Miami, but my gut tells me UNC and my guy was 14-2 against the spread week 1.
Michigan State +2.5
Wisconsin -2.5
Ah, my beloved Spartans. Sadly, us+Camp Randall= fail. Wiscy isn't good, but we never play well in Camp Randall.
Illinois +14
Ohio State -14
Call me crazy, but OSU isn't that good. Illinois' the pick here.
TCU +2.5
Clemson -2.5
PICK: TCU
Rutgers -0
Maryland +0
PICK: RUTGERS
Akron +15
Central Michigan -15
