College Football Week 9 Picks

As the race for Conference Championships really start to heat up so does the National Championship Race. My record is 25-16 and after a 2-3 week I need a rebound in week 8 so here we go.

North Carolina at Virginia Tech- Ok so the Hokies are going to be none to happy after a loss to the Wramblin Wreck and having a buy week for the bitter taste to sit in their mouth. North Carolina is also comming of a loss after having a 18 point lead on the Noles at home last Thursday. They also play on a Thursday this week which usually bodes poorly for any opponent of Virginia Tech especially in Blacksburg. The Hokies are dominant on Thursday nights and the UNC O line has been suspec at best which should lead to a Hokie D feast. Tyrod will exploit the secondary the way FSU did and Carolina will remain winless in the ACC.

Georgia vs. Florida- Welcome to the worlds largest outdoor cocktail party, these two teams HATE eachother and the Dawgs would love to rain on the Gators parade. The Gators looked very beatable against Mississippi State and the Dawgs are a much better team than Mississippi State. If the same Gator team shows up there will be a party in Athens. However there are to many questions on Georgia's defense to pick against the Gators but expect the Dawgs to be there all the way.

Georgia 13 Florida 16

Texas at Oklahoma State- The toughest test for the Horns until the Big 12 Championship Game which means a win should leave them unbeaten going into the Big 12 title game. However Oklahoma State gave them all they wanted in Austin last year and this year the Cowboys get to play in their own backyard. Colt McCoy has looked "ok" against good teams this season. Oklahoma States offense will put points on the board and I think McCoy will make a turnover that will prove to be the difference on the road in a shootout.

Texas 38 Oklahoma State 42

Miami at Wake Forest- The Canes are comming of a disasterous loss to Clemson a week ago and play a team that finds themselves in the thick of the ACC Coastal race. What does that mean? Well Miami has no easy rebound game, especially on the road. The Miami D has had questions all year long and Rilley Skinner has enough experience at the QB position to exploit that. If Kyle Parker can make the Miami D look lousy then Rilley Skinner has a chance to show the people in the ACC that they are here to stay.

Miami 31 Wake Forest 35

South Carolina at Tennessee- Rocky Top came oh so close in Tuscalusa a week ago and play like that at home will give the Gamecocks fits. South Carolina hasn't looked great but they have taken care of buisness. However winning in Rocky Top against a desperate Tennessee team to get bowl eligible wont be easy and the Tennessee fans will reek havok with the South Carolina offense which will lead to a mistake that will cost them late.
