The Big 5 College Games of the Weekend

5. Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs. Pitt Panthers in Ketchup Stadium

Back to back big matches for Rutgers, who knew. Pitt has only lost one game when they blew a lead to Michigan St. prior to MSU's annual meltdown. While Navy isn't a powerhouse team they are a decent team that will make a bowl this season and Rutgers ran them out of their own stadium. They honestly right now do deserve to be ranked and this week will determine whether they are actual Big East contenders. The Pick: Rutgers by a couple.

4. Texas Longhorns vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln

One of two ranked on ranked matchups this weekend, however I don't see how anybody is overly excited about Big 12 football it really is the least exciting conference this season. Texas is full of athletes but no big names this season and the rest of the teams flat out aren't that good. Atleast the Big East has Steve Slaton and Pat White. The Longhorns are so above and beyond the talent of everyone in the Big 12 at this point in time that truly any game they don't win by double digits should be considered a loss. The Pick: The Longhorns by plenty.

3. Boston College Eagles vs. Florida St. Seminoles in Tallahassee

FSU needs to battle for some pride. I mean how down could FSU and Miami possibly get with the abundance of athletes that go there every year. BC has played well all season but they really never win in Florida. If FSU loses it might be time for Bobby to venture toward the sunset, and while he's at it he can take Joe Pa with him.The Pick: FSU by a few, they desperately need to show the program isn't in the shitter.

2. Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Michigan Wolverines in The Big House

Here's a few things I do not like about this game. 1) #2 ranked teams in the AP are 3-4 this season and Michigan has just taken over that spot in the poll. 2) The Hawkeyes played like garbage last week and lost to a bad team and are probably due for a bounce back. 3) Who knows if Manninghma plays. Things I do like, the Hawkeyes are the most overrated program in the country. They are the Big 10s equivalent of Georgia, a team every ranks high in the preseason who is guaranteed to lose big games as well as a stunning upset game.The Pick: Michigan holds the fort at home and knocks of the Hawkeyes

1. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Clemson Tigers in Death Valley

Could be a preview of the ACC title game, which would be a shocker. Clemson has looked good this season and really should be undefeated if they could recruit a kicker. GaTech has Calvin Johnson and he needs to perform for the Jackets to be in this game and to take it home. The Pick: Clemson cause they're at home and Reggie Ball is do for a bad turnover machine game

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
