Week 11 College Football Preview

This Week Picks: Oklahoma State (+13), Utah (-1.5), Alabama (-2.5), Cal (+18.5), Penn St (-8) and Kansas (-1.5)

Last week: 1-4 Season: 14-13

 

           Wow! That was one hell of a game between Texas and Texas Tech.  It did not disappoint at all with Tech winning on a last second TD grab tight rope walking down the sideline.  Now who knows where we stand moving forward towards the national championship game? One thing we know for sure is that if Penn State and Alabama win out they most likely will meet in the big game, but if college football has taught us anything in the past is that seems very unlikely.   This week is no different from the past couple where the Big 12 has another monster game on its schedule this time UT or OU will not be taking part in it.  This time around it is Texas Tech vs. Oklahoma State, Tech is coming off it biggest win in school history and OSU I think is still underrated.  I  think Texas Tech will still have a hangover from last weeks emotional win and the Cowboys will come away with this victory easily.

Week 12 College Football Preview

Last Week: 3-3 Season: 17-16

Weeks Picks: Cinci (-4), Va Tech (+4), USC (-22), OSU (-3), Oregon (-3.5), BYU (-4)

 

I have to say I am very impressed by the Texas Tech football team.  I really believe there would be a hang over from the prior week and lay an egg vs. Ok State but hey went out and proved they are an elite team.  They still have a couple more tough games but I am stating to believe they can run the table and be in the national championship game.  Then again I wouldn’t be surprised if they lost vs. Oklahoma in two weeks.

 

Not too many big games this weekend , but there is a critical game for Cincinnati on Friday when they take on the Lousville Cardinals.  The Bearcats control their own destiny in the Big East and should win and cover this one easily, then have a huge game vs. Pitt next week.

Week 13 College Football Preview

Last week: 5-0 Season: 22-16

This weeks picks: Penn St, Utah, Orgn St, TX Tech, BC, TCU, Boi St, E Car

 

Its sounds like a broken record by now but yet again the game of the week is in the Big 12 south.  This game could decide who will end up in the National Championship game. Texas Tech will be going on the road for this big showdown unlike the other ones which were played in Lubbock, TX.  Tech still seems too not get any respect by the odds makers as they are a seven point dog to the sooners.  I wonder if the number two team in the nation has ever been such a big dog.   I think OU will win this game but I am take Tech and the point, hopefully this game will not disappoint like some many others this year.
