"It's Just Getting Started" - College Football Games of the Week


This is not a good time to be married to someone who loves to watch sports all day...everyday!  The College Football Season is almost over.  College basketball and the NBA are just tipping off and the NFL is starting to heat up.  What an exciting time to be a die hard sports fan.

What's not exciting, the college football schedule this weekend and the fact that Florida and Alabama are playing teams we only hear of during college basketball conference tournaments in March.  Here are my picks...

Last Week 4-1

Overall 30-25 (watch out, I'm 8-2 in the last two weeks)

North Carolina at Boston College
One of the best defenses in the country, without a doubt.  I'm still waiting on Yates to have a breakout game, if he does, ChikFil-A bowl here we come.  The defense will be challenged though, BC is offensive minded.  But we hot right now...UNC 23-21

No. 8 LSU at Mississippi
A lot of folks who get paid to big money to analyze games think this is the game that LSU tanks.  If they paid me to make such picks, I would "almost" have to agree.  But since they don't, the bayou boy in me and fan says...NAW!  LSU wakes up after being tested by La Tech...  Tigers 31-24

No. 25 California at No. 17 Stanford
Stanford dominated one of the best college football programs of this decade last week.  Trust, it won't stop here.  Standford  40-28
 
No. 14 Penn State at Michigan State
This is my upset game of the week.  MSU could easily be 8-3 this year in a tough conference.  Win this game and they assure themselves of a bowl game.  Win big and it might be a decent one.  PSU is overrated after a strong start.  MSU 31-27
 
HBCU Game of the Week
Mississippi Valley State vs. Alabama A&M
Patiently waiting on the bayou classic game next Thursday(Thanksgiving), which will mark my last picks for the HBCU games of the week...A&M by alot 35-7
