Sept 20th College Picks

Michigan State vs Notre Dame: This rivalry has taken a lot of shape the past 5 years or so. Notre Dame put a big hit on Big Blue last week. Javon Ringer is running wild on non-Big Ten competition. I think that you see the Irish get a taste of what they did to Michigan last weekend. Ringer will get his hundy and a couple tds. Spartans 34 – Irish 13

Georgia vs Arizona State: The Dawgs leave the south for the first time in a while and the SunDevils are coming of an upset to UNLV. Devils were caught looking ahead last week and now welcome a top 5 team. The Devils have been the sexy pick for years to top USC and shock the world. The Dawgs are one of the best in the SEC and nation. I think that you see the SunDevils get caught up in their selves and they will keep it close for 2 quarters, then UGA runs over them. Dawgs 37 – Devils 20

Auburn vs LSU: The Tiger Bowl! LSU is the defending champs. Auburn has a heck of a D. Winner takes control of the SEC West. I think LSU has had to go through a lot of adversity with the Hurricanes this past year, and that hasn’t shown with the weak competition so far. War Eagle comes out with a huge conference win…close. Auburn 13 – LSU 10.

I State vs UNLV: The Cyclones travel to sin city to take on the Rebels, who will try to go back to back on wins vs the BCS conferences. I State’s offense was befuddled by the Iowa d last week and the weather didn’t help. UNLV will want to pass on the Clones, but the Clones DBs are their stronger position on the defense. On offense the Clones are going to have to enforce their will on the Rebel D, but their OL hasn’t looked great all year. I think the Clones will pull it out at the very end on a Phillip Bates play. They better hope it doesn’t come down to a fg too. Iowa State 27 – UNLV 24

Iowa vs Pittsburgh: Hawks travel to the Steel City to take on the fighting Wandstedts. Pitt was supposed to be a top 25 team this year but come out of the gates stumbling to Bowling Green and then struggling with Buffalo. Iowa is 3-0 but the competition hasn’t been the Big Ten’s slate. This will be a huge test for both teams. Both teams want to run. Iowa’s rush D should be the key to this game. Pitt will finally score on the Hawk D but it won’t be enough. Iowa’s rotating QBs and Shonne Green come out on top. Iowa 20 – Pitt 10.

Last week:4-1
Season:4-1
