The Big 5 College Football Games of the Weekend


5. Kansas Jayhawks at Colorado Buffaloes
No one believes in the Jayhawks this season because they have beaten one good team, in cross state rival Kansas St. This weekend the Jayhawks face one of their tougher Big 12 North opponents in an effort to prove a bit more that maybe they are for real. The Pick: Mangino celebrates at the buffet.

4. Michigan St. Spartans at Ohio St. Buckeyes
From my perspective this is mostly a big game this weekend from a record point of view, and not really because of the teams playing in it. Michigan St. is not particularly a good team despite the 5-2 record, but as the rest of the country has noticed you don't need to be good to pull off a big upset. The Pick: The Buckeyes don't fall this weekend

3. Florida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats
Nothing like coming off the biggest win in program history and facing the defending national champs right after. There is no time for the Wildcats to breath, a loss and they are effectively out of the SEC East race. So will they come up big 2 weeks in a row? The Pick: No, Tebow surpasses Woodson on the Heisman watch.

2. Auburn Tigers at Louisiana State Tigers
No game in the remainder of the regular season is bigger than this one for LSU. Not only is Auburn the best team they have remaining on their schedule but a beat down of Auburn gives them a comparison advantage over Southern Florida which is always useful in the human polls. The Pick: Geaux Tigers bounce back.

1. South Florida Bulls at Rutgers Scarlet Knights
The Bulls are in an intriguing position, they have the wins, but people still do not believe in them. A win in Piscataway could go a ways to helping that perception, however last season the Louisville Cardinal National Title hopes were dumped on a similar Thursday Night on the same Turnpike exit. So what will it be Bulls? The Pick: The Bulls Barely Sneak By.

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...
