College Football Week 3

Welcome to week three of the college football season and after last week, we are in for a treat. Arkansas' catastrophic loss coupled with a few other major upsets set the tone for the rest of the season. This is going to be one of those seasons where almost no one outside of the top three is safe. I expect a few more teams to have terrible losses this season.
Last week posses some big questions: is the Big Ten as great as many thought they were? Should we lower our expectations of the SEC? Are the lower conferences really that great? Maybe these questions are yes or maybe no, but all I know is that wee are in for one heck of a season.

Last week I went a pretty bad 7-4. I really messed up on the Nebraska pick and let's not even get started on the Miami pick. Let's see what's going on for me this week!

Michigan State- 31 Notre Dame-10 - This will be an interesting game. Notre Dame really took it to Navy on the first week, but the Purdue game really shows me why I should pick Michigan State. The Fighting Irish were very one dimensional against the Boilermakers and that will really help Michigan State. They will stop the run really easily and the Spartans will stop the air raid. The only issue for the Spartans will be Maxwell's play. The game will be closer if he can't get going. If he comes out hot, this game will be over early.

Ohio State- 41 Cal-7 - This game won't be so close. Cal hasn't been a great team and this season holds more of the same. OSU QB Braxton Miller has really blossomed into his role as THE guy and I think he will continue to have success in this game. The Buckeye defense will really be the story though. I think they will really hold the Golden Bear offense.

USC- 51 Stanford-10 -This game won't even be close. I don't think Stanford is that good and this USC team looks unstoppable. Matt Barkley will tear up the defensive secondary and the run game will come around too.
