This Week's College Picks

Here we are again.
First week in October.
THE top-ranked University of Alabama Crimson Tide and the 7th-ranked Florida Gators are both undefeated and headed for a prime-time CBS matchup showcasing the 'class of the SEC'.
Sweeeeeeeeeet.

Both teams struggled a little, Florida early on in the season and The TIDE last weekend against a very good Arkansas Razorbacks squad. I think home-field will be a little advantage, but you can rest assured both teams will be sharp and on their game.
ALABAMA 31, Florida 21

Mississippi State 28, Alcorn St. 7
Kentucky 24, Ole Miss 20
LSU 28, Tennessee 19
Georgia 31, Colorado 20
auburn 45, La-Monroe 14
Connecticut 35, Vandy 17

Thursday Night ESPN Game:
Oklahoma State 24, Texas A&M 21

National Picks Later.

Sorry About the Visuals

Okay, several of you have commented on the difficulty reading this new blog due to the color scheme. The first post was simply copied and pasted from the original Brentoons Blog , so the reds and browns were hard to see.
I will henceforth use a lighter font color, as well as different highlight hues.
Thank you all, and Roll Tide.

WOW! Ingram, The TIDE Pull It Out!

TIDE WINS! TIDE WINS!



Talk about a 'nail-biter'! Ryan Mallett and the 10th-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks took advantage of a tentative, young BAMA secondary to take a 20-7 lead, but theCRIMSON TIDE fought back with three picks and a late Mark Ingram touchdown to top the Hawgs 24-20.

Hard-fought, tough SEC matchup by some tough teams. Arkansas shouldn't droptoo much after this game, but the pollsters are a bit unpredictable.

Auburn stymied my picks by taking advantage of a couple of Stephen Garciafumbles (from HARD, clean licks, I might add) and an interception of his backup.Another tough nail-biter.
Ole Miss even got lucky and beat Fresno St. Houston Nutt's Akbars live to fight another week.
Mississippi State...?? Are you KIDDING me...? Boy, is Mark Richt ever on the hot seat... AGAIN...!

UCLA upset Texas in one NOBODY saw coming.
Boise State foiled my upset pick by making some big plays.

I LOVE college football.

P.S.: NOTE TO EVERYONE- Functions, showers, Weddings and ALL non-football-related events should NOT be scheduled during FOOTBALL SEASON.This makes for poor attendance, and for a miserable experience for the half of the guests who can't concentrate on the festivities.
Just sayin'......
