College Football Week 6 Picks

After what has been an action packed 09 season I am 17-8 after 5 weeks. This week could have several unexpected twist and turns and some top notch teams will be put to the test this week.

Wisconsin at Ohio State- Don't look now but Wisconsin is 5-0 and seemingly getting better as the seeason progresses. Ohio State played well agains USC but came up just short. Outside of that the Buckeyes haven't really been tested outside of that and this will be a test even though they are at home. Look for this one to come down to the wire in the 4th quarter and Wisconsin do what they have not been able to do in a long time.....win a big one.

Boston College at Virginia Tech- No one really thought BC would be 4-1 did they? Well they are and seem to be ignoring all of the so called distractions with ease. Granted they heven't had much compotition other than Florida State last week and that was even at home. However over the last 5 years BC has given the Hokies absolute fits and I expect them to be there in the 4th quarter again. However VT looked mediocer against Duke after looking domminate against Miami. I think the Hokies will be ready and wont let their potential of a National title be spoiled at home.

Boston College 27 Virginia Tech 31

UConn at Pittsburgh- A key game in the Big East as both teams have not lost in conference and both have only lost once this season. The winner of this game promotes themself in the front wave of contenders for the Big East title and a BCS bid. Pitt lost to State but the offense will be potent and at home, I really like their chances.

Auburn at Arkansas- After a win on the road last week at Tennessee the Tigers find themselves in the top 25 for the first time since early on in the 08 season. Last year Arkansas was the benificiary of a disasterous offencive performance from Auburn. However this year the Auburn offense is averaging 40 points a game and find themselves at 5-0. Auburn up to this point is playing the sleeper role beautifully and it should continue against an inconsistant Arkansas team.

Auburn 35 Arkansas 28

Oregon at UCLA- After an opening season disaster Oregon has rebounded nicely but this week they will be tested on the road against a really good UCLA team. Why is this a big game> Because the winner takes charge as the lead contender to dethrone USC. Oregon will play well but the MVP of the game may be the UCLA fans in the Rose Bowl.
