College Football Picks Week 11

Season Record: 103- 31
Last Week: 10-5

Where I was wrong: LSU over Alabama, and USC over Oregon.

Week 11:

Alabama 38 Texas A&M 13 (Texas A&M has been more than impressive in their first year in he SEC. They have not been blown out by any team and had a few more bounces gone the Aggies way we could be looking an undefeated match-up between the Ags and the Tide for a right to play in the SEC title game and possibly the BCS Title Game. The Aggies have seen a great LSU defense that shut superstar QB Johnny Manziel down, and a Florida defense that shut the Aggies down in the 2nd half. So they have seen defenses that are on par with the Crimson Tide. They have not however seen an offense that is so efficient at just not making mistakes. I look for the Tide to clamp down on Manziel in Tuscaloosa and wear down the Aggies defense with a balanced attack that leans heavily on the run in the 2nd half.)

Notre Dame 24 Boston College 14 (The Irish had a scare last week. I do not think it will happen two weeks in a row.)

Oregon 56 Cal 34 (Did a Cal player really "Dare" Oregon to score on the Cal defense? Silly man.)

LSU 28 Mississippi State 14 The Tigers get a Bulldog team that is licking its wounds. Close early but, the Tigers pull away.

Stanford 27 Oregon State 20

Texas 34 Iowa State 17

Oklahoma 45 Baylor 17

USC 34 Arizona State 27

Nebraska 28 Penn St. 14

Georgia 42 Auburn 13

Texas Tech 34 Kansas 7

South Carolina 38 Arkansas 13

Michigan 23 Northwestern 17

Minnesota 20 Illinois 17

West Virginia 56 Oklahoma State 49

UPSET OF THE WEEK: 

TCU 20 Kansas State 19

(The Frogs get a beaten up Kansas St. team that I picked to play in the BCS title game. While QB Collin Klein will play, I suspect that the Frogs D clamps down at home and pulls a major upset. TCU plays in yet another nail biter of a game and comes away with a statement win) 


Current BCS Bowl Game Match-up Forecast: 

BCS Title Game: 
Alabama vs. Notre Dame

Sugar Bowl: 
LSU vs Oklahoma 

Fiesta Bowl: 
Kansas State vs USC 

Rose Bowl: 
Oregon vs Nebraska 

Orange Bowl: 
Florida State vs. Louisville

And yes, I am again saying that the Cotton Bowl will be Texas vs. Texas A&M. 

HAPPY WEEK 11!!!
