College Football Quick Picks: Week 11

This weekend promises to be an exciting weekend of college football. There are good match-ups aplenty so get your dominant thumb ready (you know, for using the TV remote) and load up on greasy food and cold beverages. Going outside is of course optional.

Here are the picks:

No. 5 Cincinnati defeats No. 25 West Virginia

No. 9 USC defeats Stanford

No. 11 Ohio State defeats No. 10 Iowa

No. 4 TCU defeats No. 16 Utah

Georgia defeats Auburn

And my upset special Baby! Dick Vitale style in honor of the start of college hoops season:

North Carolina defeats No. 14 Miami

College Football Quick Picks: Week 4

We need a desperately huge week here to turn things around. I'm thinking too much I fear. My brain's been getting in the way (which has hardly ever been the case). No thinking this time. Shoot straight from the gut.

No. 4 Ole Miss @ South Carolina

USC-east is till trying to find themselves. Archie Manning...err..Jevan Snead will win this one.

Ole Miss Wins


Fresno State @ No. 14 Cincinnati

Fresno has a pretty good club, good enough to push Boise to the brink. Gotta go with the 'Nati at home though.

Cincinnati Wins


No. 6 California @ Oregon

Oregon will wear their rare uniforms featuring just Nike swoosh's on their helmets (kidding) but it won't be enough.

California Wins


No. 15 TCU @ Clemson

Clemson wants to pretend they're a good team at 2-1, but they aren't. TCU goes 2-0 against ACC opponents on the year and moves into a tie for first place in the Coastal Division.

TCU Wins


Iowa @ No. 5 Penn State

Should be close because all teams in the Big Ten are pretty much the same.

Penn State Wins


No. 24 Washington @ Stanford


This one has let down written all over it. Good thing USC taught Washington how to act after a big win.

Washington Wins

Texas Tech @ No. 17 Houston

There will be nearly 1,000 yards of total offense, 80+ points and countless pirate references form Mike Leach. Should be a good watch.

Texas Tech Wins

Mediocrity: It Groh's On You

So I had to post this after seeing it just now. This is a great UVA "highlight" video from their opening losses to TCU and William & Mary (Go Tribe!). As my good friend Eric pointed out, after four years at Virginia Tech and this being his first semester at William & Mary Law School, his school has still never lost to UVA in football.

Thanks so much Al Groh. You're the best.
