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.

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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
