College Football Week 7 Picks and week 6 wrap

After week 6 I am 19-12 with my picks after a not so good week. Week 6 was a week of norms, Wisconsin can't win against a big time opponent, Bama continues to roll, Florida and Tebow are fine and the Virginia Tech Defense is well.....the Virginia Tech defense. This week has several showcase game with the headliner being the Red River Shoot Out. There are also wars for the top spots in the Big East between Cincy and South Florida, none of whom have lost, and Notre Dame gets a chance to win a big game and finally beat USC. So with that said here are the picks for week 7.

Cincinnati at South Florida- The winner of this game is the clear front runner for the Big East Crown and defending champs Cincy look to keep it in their hands. However they face a South Florida team that has continued to impress with a big win at Florida State and without Matt Grothe. Billy Donavan has the Bulls riding high and prepared for a HUGE Thursday night showdown in front of their home fans. Look for South Florida to use the energy of the 12th man to get an early lead before Cincy makes a run after the 1st quarter.

Cincinnati 31 South Florida 35

South Carolina at Alabama- True Spuriers boys are playing well BUT Bama hasn't been to shabby either. South Carolina is going to have to play just about flawless football to beat the Crimson Tide at home. For a team that should have lost to NC State they have shown me verry little to proove they can knock off an elite team in their building. Bama will control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball leaving the Gamecocks struggeling to put many points on the board.

South Carolina 10 Alabama 24

Oklahoma vs. Texas- Ahhhh the Red River Shoot Out, the college football world was given a treat the last time these teams met with an offensive showdown and the Horns finding a way in the second half to over take Boomer Sooner. This year the Horns are thinking National Title while Oklahoma has lost twice and just got Sam Bradford back a week ago. Colt McCoy will play well showcasing Shiply much like a year ago. I do think we will see the Oklahoma people thought we would see at the beggening of the year but the Horns offense will be to much for Boomer Sooner in the 4th quarter as they loose a close one.

Oklahoma 42 Texas 45

USC at Notre Dame- One thing is certain USC is not the USC we are all used to the past 5 years, yes their good but we dont get that sence that if they loose its because they beat themselves. This year though it appears that expeirience is a little lacking and if a team plays well they can beat them. For Notre Dame and everyone else for that matter it seems like its been forever since thi Irish have beaten the Trojans. However this is their best shoot in a while being at home and a beatable USC team. Clausen has to play like a top recruit he was and the Notre Dame D will have to stand tall in the 4th quarter to pull off the upset. Ultimately I still think the Irish don't have the consistancy of the Trojans which will hurt them in crunch time.

USC 31 Notre Dame 28

Texas Tech at Nebraska- Huh the Red Raiders aren't as bad as people thought they would be after loosing a bunch of talent from a year ago. Meanwhile the Huskers are starting to look like the Nebraska of old scoring a lot and winning shootouts. Nebraska better be careful or they will fall victim to the upset bug on their home turf.
