The Big 5 College Football Games of Weekend #13

Last weekend was incredibly lackluster but this weekend is when BCS trips are decided. All 5 of the Big 5 this week have major implications on whether you're in or your out of the money.

5. Oregon State Beavers at Arizona Wildcats
Once again the Beavers just need to win out and then they likely get a rematch with PSU in the Rose Bowl. Lose and they'll go to some boring bowl no one cares about. The Pick: Beavers by 6

4. Brigham Young Cougars at Utah Utes
In the battle of the Mormon state the Cougars have the opportuntiy to ruin intrastate rival Utah's return to the BCS. If the Utes pull off the victory than they can book their trip to whichever BCS bowl has last pick.The Pick: Utes by 3

3. Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Cincinnati Bearcats
This is the Bearcats chance to clinch the Big East championship and their BCS bid because there is no way they lose to the Cuse in the following week. Meanwhile Wanny if he could win 3 games in a row would also win he will somehow earn a trip to the BCS. The Pick: Wanny by 7

2. Michigan State Spartans at Penn State Nittany Lions
Does Joe Pa want to go to the Rose Bowl? Does Joe Pa want to give himself an opportunity to Ohio State it into the national title game like the Buckeyes did last year? If they dominate Sparty and the chips fall in the right way than the old man with his new hip may end up in Miami instead of Pasadena. The Pick: Penn State by 13

1. Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Oklahoma Sooners
Last year Bradford sat on the sidelines woozy and out of it after suffering a 1st quarter concussion. He then watched from the sidelines as the Red Raiders dashed any chance at a national title. This year it is the Red Raiders with the definitive title hopes and the Sooners with the 'if we get voter support' title hopes and it will be the Sooners and Bradford who get their revenge. The Pick: Sooners by 6

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...
