Conf Play in Full Swing

Last week I was 5-2, bringing my season total to 20-5, I came really close in total pts and score for UO vs UO and Stephen F Austin vs UA.
Here are the week 4 picks:

Arizona State at California: One of just 2 matchups this week between ranked teams. CAL has owned ASU under Tedford, but CAL was seemingly overrated and they have ?s at QB, secondary and Oline. ASU has surprisingly been more consistent on Defense this season and leads the nation in sacks and TFL I'm calling for the slight upset in Berkeley.
My Call:
ASU 27 CAL 24

Wazzu at Stanford: The Cardinal have been absolutely atrocious, even their passing game has been lackluster and their Secondary is horrid.
My Call:
Wazzu 31 Stanford 20

UCLA at Washington: Could be a dangerous game for the Bruins, the Huskies showed signs of life vs Fresno State. UCLA too much offensive punch though.
My Call:
UCLA 34 UW 24

Idaho at Oregon State: Beavers will score many, many pts, rought night for Coach Erikson as he returns to Corvallis.
My Call:
Oregon State 38 Idaho 14

USC at Arizona: The Wildcats are still looking like the 3-8 teams of Stoops, their offense will be lucky to reach the endzone. USCs WRs will scorch the overrated Wildcats secondary and pound the ball all night.
My Call:
USC 38 UA 6

And there you have it. Enjoy!

Week 3 Conf Picks

Last week I was 7-2 in my conf picks, bringing my season total to 14-3. As conf play approaches , there are some good intersectionals this weekend.

Nebraska @ USC: Nebraska has played two creampuffs and is seemingly over confident, the mediocre Husker offense will have trouble scoring on SC. Meanwhile the Blackshirts will not be able to contain SCs offense.
My Call: USC 34 Huskers 17

Oklahoma @ Oregon: A very difficult game to gauge, Oklahoma has been starting slow and finishing strong, if they start too slow in Autzen it could spell doom. A rematch of the Holiday Bowl, should be just as close
My Call: Oregon 31 Oklahoma 28

Baylor @ Wazzu: Wazzu looked great vs Idaho, and Baylor is looking quite competitive as well, should be a close one, Wazzu's skill position players a bit too much.
My Call: Wazzu 35 Baylor 27

Fresno St @ UW: Anytime anywhere and Fresno, as always will fight like rabid dogs. Speaking of anytime anywhere, when will the Huskie Football Program return.
My Call: Fresno St 31 UW 21

Arizona State @ Colorado: This game looked great on paper a couple years back, CU is rebuilding harder than anyone thought and has lost 5 straight dating back from last season. ASU looked much better in week 2.
My Call: ASU 38 CU 20

Portland State @ CAL: No amount of running it up will make up for Tennessee.
My Call: CAL 49 Portland State 7

Navy @ Stanford: Will the Furd win this season. Navy boasts a solid ground game and good run defense. Stanford Rec's too much for Midshipman secondary.
My Call: Stanford 34 Navy 24

Stephen F Austin @ Arizona: Im not sure if Arizona or Stephen F Austing played in Baton Rouge last week, couldn't tell. The only thing worse than Arizona's play on the field is either Coach Stoops sideline antics or those red jerseys.
My Call: Arizona 30 SFA 10

And there you have it. Enjoy!

Muchies Anyone?

Two UC Berkeley students and an alumni were arrested in connection with supplying students with Pot Cookies, 16 people became ill after a big time attack of the Munchies got the best of em' and they woofed down a bakers dozen.

Week 2 Conf Picks

Well, week 1 was interesting to say the least, there were many surprises in how teams looked , but not too many surprises in the W/L column. Yours truly went 7-1 in week 1, losing only the UA vs BYU prediction, as the Cats edged out BYU on a last second field goal 16-13. USC was quite impressive on the road vs Arkansas and Oregon was quite impressive at home vs Stanford. The rest of the teams are still a bit of an enigma at this point. CAL looked horrible vs Tennessee in Knoxville, my guess is, Tennessee is improved quite a bit, and CAL is a bit overrated, we will see if the Bears can recover and handle the Minnesota Gophers at Strawberry Hill this weekend. Here's the week two predictions.

Thursday Sept 7th, Oregon State @ Boise State:
This should be quite an exciting game featuring some intense play and big plays all around. These two teams have developed somewhat of a regional OOC rivalry the past few seasons, last season Oregon State edged Boise in Corvallis.
My Call:
Oregon State edges Boise State very late in the game.
Oregon State 37
Boise State 35

Saturday September 9:

Washington @ Oklahoma
The Huskies were shakey vs SJSU and are gonna get rolled in Norman, things just aren't like they used to be in Huskyland, after all, it's now a basketball school.
My Call:
Oklahoma 31
UW 14

Idaho @ Wazzu
The Cougs offense did some good things vs Auburn , but their D was lackluster vs the powerful Auburn rushing attack. Idaho exchanged blows with Michigan St. for 3 quarters before succoming in the fourth. Dennis Erikson has these guys playing hard. Wazzu a little too much in the second half.
My Call:
Wazzu 38
Idaho 21


Stanford @ SJSU
Does Dick Tomey think he's back in the pac ten, SJSU plays, and loses to Pac Ten squad for the second straight week.
My Call:
Stanford 34
SJSU 21

Arizona @ LSU
The Cats simply don't have the offense to compete with LSU, and their Defense will likely wear down in the second half.
My Call:
LSU 31
UA 14

Minnesota @ CAL
Bears need to protect the ball, and run, run , run.
My Call:
CAL 27
Minn 21

Nevada @ Arizona State
ASU struggled for 3 quarters vs NAU in the opener, Defense stiffened in the second half and offense opened up. Devils will need to continue their pass rush success seen in game 1. I look for Devils offense to go deep.
My Call:
ASU 45
Nev 24

Rice @ UCLA
UCLA looked very sharp in their opener vs Utah, many saw that game as a possible upset. Not this week.
My Call:
UCLA 44
Rice 13

Oregon @ Fresno State
Oregon looked very sharp offensively vs Stanford in the opener, the Ducks amassed over 250yds rushing and passing. Oregon is deep at the skill positions and their front 7 looked fast. Fresno States D may keep it close, but the Ducks are too much to handle.
My Call:
Oregon 31
FSU 21

And there you have it. Enjoy!
