The Big 5 College Games of the Weekend

Really a below average college football weekend with only one ranked vs. ranked matchup.

5. Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Navy Midshipmen in Anapolis

It's pretty damn odd that either of these teams are involved in a football game worth watching nevermind one of the biggest games of the weekend. Navy comes into the game 5-1 and having beaten some solid teams along the way while Rutgers is 5-0 and has been mostly unchallenged. Navy is an option run first team, so if you do watch the game expect some old school football. The Pick: Rutgers by a couple.

4. UCLA Bruins vs. Oregon Ducks in Euguene

A battle of two upper-tier Pac 10 teams. It will probably be a shootout honestly I'm not that interested in the Pac 10 until these teams start playing USC. The Pick: Ducks roll in a bounce back game

3. Virgina Tech Hokies vs. Boston College Eagles in Chestnut Hill

The loser of this game will be all but eliminated from ACC Championship contention. The Hokies looked miserable both on the the offensive line and Sean Glennon's rush reads. It will be interesting to see if the Eagles can exploit this similarly to how the Yellow Jackets did. The game goes up against two baseball games tonight but if you get the chance flip on ESPN for a few, should be a good game. The Pick: VaTech in a low scoring defensive struggle.

2. Michigan Wolverines vs. Penn St. Nittany Lions in Happy Valley

This wouldn't be as big of a game if not for the absence of Manningham. Just revert back to last seasons game where Mannigham had two 4th quarter touchdowns including the last second walk off td. They couldn't cover him and it was his coming out party. Penn St. will obviously look to do exactly what Michigan did to them last year be that one chink in the armor but despite the Wolverines record last year they were a more talented team than this years version of Penn St.The Pick: Michigan shuts down Penn St. anyway and wins by around 10.

1. Florida Gators vs. Auburn Tigers in Auburn

The only marquee matchup, and this could be the Gators biggest test throughout the remainder of the season. The Tigers might have slept through their game last week but they certainly will be focused on the Gators and their attempt to stay within SEC striking distance. Its just that Kenny Irons has been the phenom on offense that they need him to be, he needs to rush for close to 130 to get the Tigers over the hump and I don't see that happening even at home. The Pick: Florida by a couple, better recruits more offensive weapons

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
