College Football Week 6 Picks

It’s week six of the 2014 College Football season, which is significant for one reason: a team could become bowl eligible this week.

However, most teams will accomplish that feat in the next few weeks, as only Texas A&M and Nebraska have five wins and play this week.  A new set of bowl projections will come out next week.

Last Week:  21-5 (.808)

Overall:  126-22 (.851)

Arizona vs. #2 Oregon

Louisville vs. Syracuse

Utah State vs. #18 BYU

Wake Forest vs. #1 Florida State

#3 Alabama vs. #11 Ole Miss (Ole Miss is a nice story, but I don’t think they measure up against Alabama.)

#4 Oklahoma vs. #25 TCU

#15 LSU vs. #5 Auburn

#6 Texas A&M vs. #12 Mississippi State (See comment about Alabama vs. Ole Miss and apply here.)

#7 Baylor vs. Texas

Utah vs. #8 UCLA

#14 Stanford vs. #9 Notre Dame

#19 Nebraska vs. #10 Michigan State

Vanderbilt vs. #13 Georgia

Arizona State vs. #16 USC

#17 Wisconsin vs. Northwestern

#20 Ohio State vs. Maryland (Maybe this is where Maryland gets their true welcome to the Big Ten Conference.)

Iowa State vs. #21 Oklahoma State

SMU vs. #22 East Carolina (This is probably the only top-25 team, pretty much assured of a win.)

Texas Tech vs. #23 Kansas State

Virginia Tech vs. North Carolina (The Tar Heels can’t stop anybody.)

NC State vs. Clemson

Miami (FL) vs. Georgia Tech

Pittsburgh vs. Virginia

Florida vs. Tennessee (With two teams evenly matched, got to go with the home team.)

South Carolina vs. Kentucky (It’s been awhile since the Gamecocks were included with the non-top-25 teams from the SEC.)

College Football Week 3 Picks

A solid week in week three of the college football season.  As some schools are finishing up the part of their schedules to pad stats, some better match-ups are starting to occur.

This week is all about the re-match between Alabama and Texas A&M.  The other game to watch will be UCLA against Nebraska.  Past those two games, this week again lacks multiple marquee match-ups.

Last Week:  30-3 (.909)

Overall:  61-9 (.871)

#24 TCU vs. Texas Tech

#1 Alabama vs. #6 Texas A&M (Alabama gets its revenge.)

Tennessee vs. #2 Oregon

#4 Ohio State vs. California

#5 Stanford vs. Army

#7 Louisville vs. Kentucky

Kent State vs. #8 LSU

Nevada vs. #10 Florida State

Akron vs. #11 Michigan

Lamar vs. #12 Oklahoma State

Vanderbilt vs. #13 South Carolina (One would think that South Carolina recovers from last week’s game against Georgia, but Vanderbilt always gives the Gamecocks problems.)

Tulsa vs. #14 Oklahoma

#16 UCLA vs. #23 Nebraska

Western Michigan vs. #17 Northwestern

#19 Washington vs. Illinois

#20 Wisconsin vs. Arizona State

#21 Notre Dame vs. Purdue

#25 Ole Miss vs. Texas (Ole Miss is a team on the rise.  Texas is definitely on the decline.)

Virginia Tech vs. East Carolina

Louisiana-Monroe vs. Wake Forest

New Mexico vs. Pittsburgh

Boston College vs. USC (If Lane Kiffin loses, things could get bad.)

Georgia Tech vs. Duke

Wagner vs. Syracuse

Maryland vs. Connecticut

Southern Miss vs. Arkansas

Mississippi State vs. Auburn (No comment on trying to pick this game.)
