3 Weeks in and I know who will play for the BCS

3 weeks into the college football season and I already know who is going to be playing for the BCS Championship! How? My crazy mother would swear it's because her whole side of the family is physic. By the way her telling the girlfriends I bring home that story has sent more of them running for the hills then my supernumerary nipple. Me on the other hand I would say it's because I was blessed with an Einstein size brain and I choose to fill the extra gray matter with college football stats and facts.

Let's start off with eliminating the teams that already have one loss. OU,USC,Virginia Tech,Ohio State and just to give them a thrill we will cross off Oklahoma State(like they really had a shot anyway).

Next we can cross off the pretty good teams that don't have a chance to get into the title game for whatever reason. See you Miami! Strength of schedule will do you in. Michigan will drop two games this year. Look for Iowa to beat them at home in a couple of weeks. Better luck next year Wolverines. Bosie State and TCU one of you have a chance to bust into a BCS game but you are not going to be playing for the Championship. Let's get Bosie into the Pac 10 and the Frogs into the Big 12! Cincinnati is this years Ball State. You can catch them in the Meineke Car Care Bowl if they make it past Pitt. If Houston out scores Tech this week they have a chance to run the table. That is a big IF. But it's not going to be enough to get them to Pasadena January 7th 2010.

That leaves us with 7 teams with a legit shot. Florida,Texas,Alabama,Mississippi,Penn State,California,and LSU. Florida will drop one game between weeks 6-11. Then the Gators are looking the SEC championship. Who will they play? LSU and Albama both have to go to Mississippi and play. The swine flu will stop Ole Miss and Bama wins. After they knock off the team from Gainesville the Tide will head to the BCS .

Then there was 3. Let's just say the PAC 10 will work itself out and mark Cali off the list shall we? The fun bar debates start here! Joe Pa's team vs The Mighty Longhorns of Texas. If the Longhorns take care of business the only tough game they should have is November
26th at Kyle Field. Strange things happen in Aggie land. Strange things!



However I do think Penn State's trip to the Big House proves a little to much. Plus I think playing for a national title might give Joe Paterno a heart attack. This will sway the human vote to go the Texas way. Which leads me to believe once again we will see the Big 12 vs the SEC in the big game. At least it's fresh blood!

Hey Pasadena do you remember what happen the last time the Longhorns came to town? I'm just saying!

College Picks for 9/5

Ok I went 1-2-1 Thursday night. What do I say about betting early in the season? Buyer Beware!! Here are some safe or safe as they get bets for the weekend

Navy at Ohio State-21.5 (6) Ohio State has to get ready for USC next week. They will bring their A game and cover this spread easy. Don't look for Navy to have the same success running the ball as they had last year.

Pick Ohio State-21.5

Georgia(13) at Oklahoma State-5 (11) Here we go Bowl Game week1! The Dogs have a new QB. The Dogs have a new RB. The Dgs have to play in a hostile invorment. The Cowboys have Dez Bryant and Zac Robinson. Bet Cowboys and lay the points.

Pick OK State -5

Virginia Tech(7) vs Alabama-6.5 (5)at the Georgia Dome

Bowl Game # 2 Week 1. This is why I love College Football! Alabama looked like one of the best teams in the country last year. VTech a good team but one tier down. Roll Tide Roll and you will cover the spread

Pick Alabama -6.5

Brigham Young(24) vs Oklahoma-22(3) Not a Bowl game! Big Game Bob and the Sooners cover easy.

Pick Ou -22

Mississippi(10)-17 at MemphisOle Miss is looking good this year. Look for them to make a deep run in the top ten. Can you say Cake Walk?

Pick Ole Miss -17
