"Forever Young" - College Football Games of the Week

How fitting that on the eve of Texas playing a big game this weekend against OK-State that Vince Young will get his first start in a long time.  All I have to say is "save your career young man...save your career."  But then again, he can't be any worse than 47 year old Kerry Collins. 

Last Week 1-4

Overall 20-20


North Carolina at No. 13 Virginia Tech
If UNC can win, it will make the game against Duke next week that more exciting.  Then again, it's homecoming so it probably won't matter.  I've been picking my boys all year, but after the FSU game last week, it seems as though the offense has lost its confidence.  Va Tech is at home, plus their defense may equal trouble for a sputtering UNC offense...Pokies 20-10

No. 3 Texas at No. 14 Oklahoma State
This is my upset pick of the week.  Even without Bryant (the NCAA did him wrong), Ok State will play well.  Texas struggled two weeks ago on a neutral site against OU.  They wont be so lucky in Stillwater (shout out to Dey-Dey)...OKST 30-17

No. 5 USC at No. 10 Oregon
I've been doubting USC all year, mainly because of the upset factor.  They might be a legitmate top 5 team.  I expect this to be a ball game.  If Joe McKnight, the second coming of Reggie Bush (w/o the fumbles), gets off, USC will roll...USC 28-24

No. 22 South Carolina at Tennessee
The Vols played well enough to win last week, they also played bad enough on special teams last week to loose, which they did.  But Lane and his Daddy (Monte) got the Vols playing well.  Get Crompton out of the pocket like the UGA game, and the Vols can get their second big win of the season...Vols 31-17

Black College Football Game of the Week
Central State vs. North Carolina Central
These two teams have a lot in common.  They both have the word Central in their school name, they are both 1-6, and they are both AWFUL in football.  But it's homecoming at NCCU... and I'm going...Eagles 21-14
