NCAA Football Picks Sept 19

From here on out we're gonna slowly start to see more and more solid match-ups each week. (Winners in Green)


Boston College at Clemson
Tennessee at No. 1 Florida
No. 19 Nebraska at No. 13 Virginia Tech
Michigan State at Notre Dame
Florida State at No. 7 Brigham Young
West Virginia at Auburn
Texas Tech at No. 2 Texas


**UPDATED** (click read more to see my smartass update to this post)


The BC/Clemson game may not register on the national scale but it's a big game for the ACC - especially for BC.

--I'm picking Florida but don't count Tennessee out. Their new coach may have shot his foot off by talking smack, or he might have given his team the energy they need.

--Va Tech is one of the few schools that didn't just schedule a bunch of meaningless games and they're better off for it. Plus they're playing at home. Lane Stadium is one of the toughest places to play period.

--Notre Dame is coming off a big lass last week and now they have to play a team that's beat them five straight times. It's a tough must win game for them.

--BYU is a fluke. There, I said it. They barely beat Oklahoma by one point after OU's starting QB left the game with an injured shoulder. Then they beat the shit out of a no-name school and everybody used it as an excuse to bump them up to #7 in the nation.

FSU, on the other hand, was knocked out of the Top 25 all together after losing a very close game to Miami...

I'd be willing to bet most people buying into this bullshit believe BYU has a chance in hell of winning this game - but I don't.

--WVU and Auburn are two consistently good schools. This should be a good match-up.

--Nobody is beating Texas this year. At least I don't think so. We'll have a better picture of the Longhorns after this weekend.


**UPDATE** It's looking like I nailed it in my assessment of the FSU/BYU game. It's still very early, but so far FSU is dominating the game.
