College Football Pick'em Week Two

I know this is a little late, but our new couches were delivered a little earlier than we expected. Then, of course, I had to try them out for an hour or so, but now it's time for business.

Georgia @ South Carolina
This is the year that Stephen Garcia won't have to see the old ball coach throwing his visor and ripping out his hair..at least not yet. South Carolina should have beaten georgia last year between the hedges, but this year they get it done at home.
USC 27 Georgia 17


Michigan @ Notre Dame
Michigan showed last week how to run Rich Rodriguez's offense, but Notre Dame's defense with Manti Te'o at linebacker won't be nearly as easy. Plus, watch for Notre Dame to make plays against the Miichigan defense that UConn couldn't.
Notre Dame 31 Michigan 28


Maimi (FL) @ Ohio St
The Big Ten as a whole has struggled recently against the speed of the SEC and some of the ACC. But this team has the speed and an overwhelming advantage in the trenches. Watch for the OSU d-line to make things very difficult for Jacory Harris.
Ohio St 38 Miami (FL) 21


Florida St @ Oklahoma
If this game was decided by how these two teams played last week, Florida St would win by 40. Oklahoma will keep it close on the legs of Demarco Murray, but I'm not convinced that Landry Jones is championship quarterback; Christian Ponder is.
Florida St 35 Oklahoma 28


BYU @ Air Force
Neither of these offenses is good enough yet to dominate a game like this. So look for the defense that makes the big plays to make the difference as BYU forced no turnovers last week and Air Force only one against FCS Northwest State.
BYU 27 Air Force 20


Penn St @ Alabama
I'm very tempted to pick Penn St, just one a feeling, but I can't do it. Alabama is too good on offense and the Nittany Lions, with a true freshman quarterback, won't be bale to take advantage of the young defense of the Crimson Tide.
Alabama 31 Penn St 17


Oregon @ Tennessee
72 points last week + the return of LaMichael James - New Mexico's terrible defense.. (why am I doing math? It's Saturday...) Oregon wins, big.
Oregon 45 Tennessee 21


Stanford @ UCLA
UCLA QB Kevin Prince last week 9/26 with 2 INT's. Stanford QB Andrew Luck last week 17/23 over 300 yards, 4 TD's o INT's. All you need to know.
Stanford 31 UCLA 24


Note--For those of you (which I know includes like 0 out of 4) who were looking for my top 25 poll this week, it will be bi-weekly. So look early next week for my newly minted top 25, and enjoy your weekend of football.
