College Football Week 3 Picks

After a flawless 5-0 last week my record is 7-3, granted anything can happen just ask the so called "experts". Anyhow week 3 has several matchups of intrest and it's hard to narrow it down to 5 but I did. Now is when teams start finding their identity but it is still early in the season and the race to the BCS is WIDE open. So without further adu lets get down to buisness.

Georgia Tech at Miami- In what should be another ACC nail biter the Canes and Jackets are both looking for an upper hand in the road to the ACC championship and both feel they got what it takes to get there. Bothe of these teams have already pulled off close games this year so it should be interesting to see what happens. However the GT offense showed absolutely nothing in the passing game with only 5 completions, which Miami can load the box all night long. On the other hand though Miami couldn't really stop FSU in their oppener either. This game will be won or lost in the last two miniutes and could very easily go to extra sessions.

Georgia Tech 35 Miami 32


Boise State at Fresno State- Perhaps the last ligit obstacle preventing and undafeated season for Boise. Fresno has loads of talent and have beaten Boise before. A problem though.....can they play at a high level for 60 miniutes. Boise State showed opening day they can play a little D and score a lot of points. In order for Fresno to pull off an upset they will have to play near flawless football.

Boise State 42 Fresno State 31


Tennessee at Florida- Well its time to back up your words Lane Kiffen. Can his team upset Florida?...sure but is it likely? Florida has just ran through their first two opponents which might have well have been high school teams. Tennessee on the other hand has played UCLA and knows what playing in a close game is like. HOWEVER Florida has leadership and should be fine. Tennessee will need to get a couple turnovers and a break here and there but who knows we could hear "Rocky Top" in the swamp. I like Tennessee mainly because they played well against UCLA and we haven't seen the Gators tested yet.

Tennessee 24 Florida 21


Nebraska at Virginia Tech- Virginia Tech has found a HB and their D has not disappointed. They played well vs. Bama but just got wore out in the end. Nebraska hasn't been tested and they haven't played in Blacksburg either, not to mention they haven't played a road game yet this year. Well Blacksburg is NOT where you wanna play your first. The Huskers have to find D from somewhere and I don't see it happenin.

Nebraska 28 Virginia Tech 42


Texas Tech at Texas- Everyone knows the phrase "don't mess with Texas" well this year may prove that theory as the Hook'em Horns look for revenge to a last play loss to Texas Tech a year ago. Texas Tech doesn't have the fire power from a year ago and no Crabtree or Harrell but the Horns still have Shiply and McCoy.....UH OHHH. This could be UGLY early and often.

Texas Tech 13 Texas 45
