Last Week: 17-5

Season- 55-11

Currently sitting in a motel room on the side of the road in Mifflinville, PA. All set to call tomorrows Bloomsberg/C.W Post matchup. You can hear the game on wcwpsports.com beginning at 11:30am. Hopefully I’ll make it back in time for Notre Dame/ Purdue at 8.

#1 Florida over Kentucky- Kentucky is 2-0, but they haven’t seen anyone quite like the Gators this year. I thought it spoke to how good the Gators are when people were impressed at the way Tennessee played last week. I guess not getting destroyed against this bunch is suddenly an accomplishment… and who said there were no moral victories.

#2 Texas over UTEP

#3 Alabama over Arkansas- Three games in and Ryan Mallet is already getting recognized as one of the top quarterbacks, in terms of arm strength, in the nation. It won’t be enough to beat Alabama, but Arkansas owes Rich Rodriguez a debt of gratitude.

#6 California over Oregon- Cal has to be careful of looking ahead to USC next week.

#7 LSU over Mississippi State

#8 Boise State over Bowling Green

#12 USC over Washington State

#13 Ohio State over Illinois

#14 Cincinnati over Fresno State

#15 TCU over Clemson

#16 Oklahoma State over Grambling State

#18 Florida State over South Florida

#19 BYU over Colorado State

#20 Kansas over Southern Miss

#21 Georgia over Arizona State

#22 North Carolina over Georgia Tech

#23 Michigan over Indiana
#24 Washington over Stanford

#25 Nebraska over La-Lafayette

Notre Dame over Purdue- At this hour, Clausen is expected to play. Armando Allen is iffy. As big as the Michael Floyd injury is (and its huge), any injury to Allen will be huge as well. Allen is quietly having a huge year. He’s stronger, he’s more athletic, and it shows. If he can’t go for any long amount of time, this Notre Dame offense is in a lot of trouble. That being said, assuming Clausen plays well, the Irish will beat Purdue.

2 To Change Plans For

#5 Penn State Over Iowa- We don’t know a lot about Penn State. Sure, they’ve looked real good. Sure, they haven’t allowed more than seven points a game. But who have they played? Do you know anything more about Penn State then you did four weeks ago? I don’t think so. I still think Penn State will win the Big 10, but I’m pumped to see them play an actual game this week.

#9 Miami over #11 Virginia Tech- Isn’t it interesting that both pre-season ACC favorites are hanging on by a string. Miami puts the dagger in Va Tech’s hopes this week.

Upset Of The Week (2-1 this year)

Texas Tech over #17 Houston- Texas Tech played well against Texas last week. I think the bye week came at a bad time for Houston. They were hot, coming off a big win over Oklahoma State, and sat down for a week. I think they come out flat, fall behind early, and never recover.
