FIVE TO THE FACE: College Football Picks – Week 2 (Part II)

I can’t be suckered into the “Tom Foolery” that the media wants us to believe. For instance; I heard Kirk Herbstriet all but say that Penn State may hand Alabama an upset this Saturday. This is the same person that said Oregon was going to win the National Championship…. You can cancel that too Herbs.

I also see that Notre Dame is favored over Michigan this week. Really? First home game under the lights in the history of the Wolverines and the media believes in the inept Irish? Why in the hell were they ranked to begin with?

Notre Dame (along with UGA) being ranked in the preseason top 20 made as much sense as a scared Boomhauer calling 911.

Let’s get to the picks:

#16 Mississippi St. vs. Auburn
Line: Mississippi St (-6.5)
Utah State… Yooo Taaah State! Oh that was last week.  Auburn welcomes the school that initiated “Cam-Gate”, and would like to practice a lil but whippin for some sweet revenge. It just ain’t going to happen. Take Mississippi laying the 6.5. #16 Mississippi State 30 – Auburn 13  

#23 Penn St. vs. #3 Alabama
Line: Alabama (-10)
It’s going to be rowdy in Happy Valley. I hope that Bama nation is ready for a hostile environment. It’s not like they don’t play in the Swamp, the Plains, or under the lights in Death Valley. 

Yeah if you can win in Death Valley, I like your chances in Happy Valley.  Take Bama giving the 10. #3 Alabama 31 – #23 Penn State 14

#12 South Carolina vs. Georgia
Line: South Carolina (-3)
The only thing Spurrier hates worse than missing a 7am tee-time is UGA, and he is going to exercise his muscle this week. Historically Spurrier’s Gator teams would not only beat a team physically, but mentally by putting Playstation numbers on the scoreboard.

Richt is officially in trouble Sunday morning. Take uSC laying the easy 3. #12 South Carolina 42 – Georgia 24

Arizona State vs. #21 Missouri
Line: Arizona State (-7.5)
What better way to spend a Friday night in the desert than to watch a shootout with a bunch of inebriated co-eds. 

I mean I'm just asking, I'll be watching this one with the wifey. 

This one will be a good one to watch nevertheless. I believe Arizona State will win this one, but it will be closer than the spread gives. Take Missouri with the points. Arizona State 27 - #21 Missouri 23

Michigan vs. Notre Dame
Line: Notre Dame (-3.5)
I still don’t understand why people are so infatuated with the golden domers. Do people think Michigan fell off from last year, or do they thing Notre Dame is that much better?

Remember what Denard Robinson did to you in Your House?

Do you really believe they are going to go into Ann Arbor and lay 3 and a half points, and come away covering the spread? You are smart one if your answer is No. A couple of early Notre Dame turnovers and this could get ugly. I’m taking Michigan straight up. Michigan 31 – Notre Dame 17

Jack, Coke and my trusty remote….. I’m ready for another Saturday.
