Robin PottratzCollege Football Picks: Week 9
October 30th 2009 13:32
Now things are getting interesting. The BCS is even crazier and more frustrating to piece together than ever before. This weeks games could completely shake things up and create more frustration...or excitement.
Now on to the picks:
Indiana at #7 Iowa:
After their miracle win at Michigan State, we must acknowledge that the Iowa Hawkeyes may be a team of destiny. However, they do struggle with unranked teams and I think they get the win over the Hoosiers...but closer than it should be.
Indiana 24 Iowa 30
#5 Cincinnati at Syracuse:
The Bearcats have offically surpassed Ohio State to become the best team in Ohio. Even with QB Tony Pike on the shelf, the Bearcats are poised to play in a BCS game. The next test is Greg Paulus and the Orangmen. It will be tough, but they get it done.
Cincy 34 Syracuse 24
#12 Penn State at Northwestern:
Penn State is coming on strong and making a BCS push. This could be a trap game for them against Northwestern's prolific offense. Joepa will get it done, but this could be a shootout.
PSU 35 NU 31
Georgia at #1 Florida:
No one can refuse to acknowledge that Florida has shown weakness in recent weeks. They seem poised for an upset, I just don't see that happening this week.
Georgia 13 Florida 21
#3 Texas at #15 Oklahoma State:
This is the toughest game remaining for the Longhorns on their way to a National Championship birth. Without Dez Bryant, the Cowboys have still been relatively sharp. I predict that Colt and the boys will figure out a way to get it done.
Texas 20 OK St 16
#4 USC at #10 Oregon:
After their loss at Boise State, Oregon have become the team that no one wants to play. They are firing on all cylanders and breathing down some Trojan necks. USC is still young and their only loss to a ranked opponent in recent years has been to...The Oregon Ducks in 2007. I say history finds a way to repeat itself in Eugene.
USC 18 Oregon 30
Upset Pick of the Week...Upsets Galore:
#20 West Virginia at South Florida:
The Bulls have looked sluggish in recent weeks, but I say they return to early season form this week:
WVU 21 S Fla 28
#24 Ole Miss at Auburn:
A few weeks ago, everyone thought that Auburn was poised to make a run in the SEC...and that Ole Miss had a heisman candidate and a place near the top of the SEC. Well, neither panned out and now its a fight for bowl survival. I saw the Auburn defense gets it done.
Ole Miss 20 Auburn 30
#18 Miami at Wake Forest:
Is there a more schizophrenic team than Miami. One week, they look like national title contenders...the next they look like bottom feeders. I predict that this week, they look like bottom feeders.
Miami 10 WF 21
#21 South Carolina at Tennessee:
Tennessee has come so close to getting a big conference win...with taking both Florida and Alabama to the limit. Now they play in Knoxville against the Old Ball Coach Steve Spurrier. I predict that Lane Kiffin gets his first major SEC win against the Gamecocks.
SCU 17 Tennessee 30
