"You Jive Turkey" - College Football Picks of the Week

Happy Thanksgiving!  You can sort of compare the Notre Dame footall season to my fantasy football season...loosing and loosing fast after an excellent start!  Unlike the Irish though, I'm falling but still fighting.  Apparently Jimmy Clausen, who's sporting a fresh black eye, got "coldclocked" leaving a bar near downtown South Bend in the early Sunday morning hours after loosing to UCONN.  Read here.

SMH at the "Jive Turkey" who sucker punched him.  Fight like a real man.  This lead us to rivalry weekend in College Football.

Last Week 3-2
Overall 33-27

It's the Bayou Classic (Arguably one of the best historically black college football rivalry games)
Grambling State vs. Southern University
It's going to be a party down on the bayou.  Prarie View is the best team in the SWAC west but these two teams are playing for more than just 2nd place.  They are competing for the best band, who's going to bring out the best musical guest during the halftime show and Louisiana bragging rights until next Thanksgiving...SU 35-31

No. 24 North Carolina at North Carolina State
The defense is at it again.  We (UNC) have no choice but to revenge that loss to the Wolfwack we suffered last year.  As someone tweeted over the weekend, "how come when we need a score, I'd much rather our defense be on the field."  He said it, not me!  If the O compliments the D, Gator, Champs, or maybe even Chik Fil A bowl here we come...31-27

No. 2 Alabama at Auburn
My upset pick of the week.  Alabama and Florida took last week off with those cup cake wins.  Auburn played well enough to beat UGA last week although they didn't.  This week they play well and win.  Look for Auburn's rushing attack to out play Ingram... Auburn 28-24

No. 25 Mississippi at Mississippi State
No let down here.  Ole Miss is still riding high off of LSU's clock issues on last week.  The score really shouldn't have been that close, in the rebels favor.  Snead and company have rebounded well from the early season swine flu that knocked out just about half the team...Ole Miss 24-16

No. 17 Miami (FL) at South Florida
Miami almost lost to an improved Duke team last week before turning it in over the last quarter and a half.  This time they won't be as lucky on the road against South Florida.  Ok, so I was wrong, Jacory Harris has a long way to go if he wants to be a top quarterback in college football.  Look for SF to feast off Jacory's generosity (INT's)...SF 42-21
