College Football Week 10

This week features games that will affect the National Title race in three of the major conferences. You have another game of the century between LSU and the Tide in the SEC, KSU trying to navigate around OK State, and the Pac-10 game of the year in Oregon and USC. Needless to say, this might be the best week in college football so far. With a lot of the other top teams playing easier games, there will be some movement at the top, and the National Title picture should get a little clearer. Besides all those big games, there's a bigger one on my mind right now that's taking place in Mount Pleasant today. The Battle for the Cannon between CMU and WMU is only hours away which is definitely big news. So with that, we get to the picks.

Alabama-31 LSU-10 - I know LSU is really good at home, but they are not going to be able to get around this Bama defense again. Look for shades of last years National title sprinkled throughout this one as A,J, McCarron shows his mental strength to get the Tide what they need in Baton Rouge

KSU- 41 OK State- 24 - Though I was really hot on the Pokes early in the season, KSU is just too good to lose to OK State. Colling Klein should have an easy time tearing up a weak OK State secondary which has not fared well this season. Oklahoma State will have the chance to make this game interesting by effectively using their run game, but KSU will still win by simply outscoring them.

Oregon- 40 USC-30 - The Ducks will face their first real test this week when they face USC. The Trojans will keep the game close throughout while maybe taking the lead for a bit. It's just hard to see this USC defense keep up with this lighting fast offense with the cool head of Marcus Mariota at the helm. The difference from last year will be the Duck's defense. It is much stronger than last year. The Ducks only need to stop you a few times to beat you, and I think they do that against USC.

CMU- 34 WMU-24 The cannon will be brought back to the Mount! I think Radcliff will want to show the home fans what this team is capable of and that they can go on and maybe make it to five hundred. The fans will play a huge part in the game and will make it hard for WMU to play in comfort. As for the Broncos team, the passing game will stay effective, but Tyler Van Tubbergen will make a few to many mistakes and hand the game to the Chippewas.

Quick picks!

Texas A&M-17 Mississippi State- 10

TCU- 35 West Virginia- 45

Notre Dame- 35 Pitt- 10

Texas- 30 Texas Tech-23

Nebraska- 30 Michigan State- 12
