College Football Week Six

Sorry for the hiatus sports fans! School has been very busy, but I should have some more time now to stand on my soap box. Today is the sixth week of college football and as always I have my picks, but be sure to keep an eye on the blog for my MLB and MLS playoff predictions, NFL panic meter, and English Premier League Power rankings. Now for college football!

LSU 31 Florida 38 - I think Florida can win this one. Its a game at home to a lack-luster Tigers team that doesn't seem to have the same bite they had last year. The Gators are a strong 4-0 and have only had one cupcake match-up so far. They looked comfortable going all four quarters with a great Texas A&M team and played a solid game against Tennessee. The Gator passing attack will continue to be dull, but the defense will show their grit in this game. They are ranked 10th in defense and should be able to stop the very run oriented Tigers offense. This game will be close the whole way through, but I believe the Gators will pull it out.

Georgia 21 South Carolina 24 - This is going to be a a telling game for both sides due to the fact neither team has faced a great opponent yet. The Gamecocks are a lot softer than people think. The numbers say that they are a great defense, but the teams they played tell more. The near loss they had to Vanderbilt in the first week was not a good sign. The Bulldogs are even more overrated. The defense for this team doesn't look like it can hang with the best in the SEC and will probably be torn up on Saturday. All in all it should be a very interesting game. The Gamecocks will win it, but I think both teams will be hurt by the match-up.

West Virginia 38 Texas 30 - Geno Smith was incredible last week. His numbers looked like a good game on NCAA 13. The real story of that game was the Mountaineer defense. They gave up a lot of points to a decent Baylor team. You have to wonder what they will give up when they play a good one? This game will supply the answer. Texas should be strong. They are a team that can put up some big numbers too. and they have a defense to back it up. David Ash can't put up Smith's numbers, but he can cut through the secondary. But after last week I can't pick against this Mountaineer offense. Smith won't do it in the fashion he did last week, but he will lead WV to the win.

Ohio State 17 Nebraska 10 - This will be the battle of developing QBs. Martinez and Miller are both pretty solid QBs who can run the ball, but have the arm too. They are both overcoming seasons where they both had issues, plus both teams have great defenses. As much as I want to say both QBs are going to be able to make huge plays, I can't get over the fact that the defenses have essentially already played these offenses in practice all year. In the end, I think Braxton Miller will be able to make or two more plays than Martinez and win the game for the Bucks.
