(1.) Clemson
(2.) Baylor…… starting QB was carving up WVU until a targeting hit put out of the game
(3.) Cincinnati
(4.) Rutgers
(5.) Miami….depends on which Hurricane team shows up
(6.) Texas Tech…. BigXII best passing offense versus BigXII worst pass defense
(7.) Oklahoma State
(8.) Ole Miss…..Kiffin is getting it done
(9.) UCLA
(10.) Tulane
(11.) Toledo
(12.) Old Dominion
(13.) UTSA
(14.) Stanford…..WOW, all the changes in College Football have really hurt the Cardinals
(15.) Louisiana
(16.) Alabama…..the Tide’s defense was not good against the Vols, we’ll see
(17.) Air Force
(18.) Penn State
(19.) UCF

After last week’s performance I’m considering giving Elvira a call……. trouble is, she very well may turn me into a frog.

Saturday, October 22cnd

(1.) Clemson
(2.) Baylor --- [the glory season is over for the Jayhawks; but the Bears aren't what they were]
(3.) Cincinnati --- [I'm not sold on this; but Cincy opponents will have to prove it]
(4.) Rutgers --- [if this were in Bloomington I might've gone the other way]
(5.) Miami --- [need I say why..?]
(6.) Texas Tech --- [I'm only now seeing how many Big XII teams made this week's Picks]
(7.) Oklahoma State --- [I don't think it's wise to sellout on the Cowboys just yet]
(8.) Ole Miss --- [if this were a night game, I'd have real pause]
(9.) Oregon --- [I can't say this is what I think; but if Eugene gets energetic another undefeated fades]
(10.) Tulane --- [the cycles the Group of 5 go through in relative strength make it fun to watch]
(11.) Toledo --- [I'm going with the more balanced offense]
(12.) Old Dominion --- [Georgia Southern hasn't won on the road since their visit to Lincoln ]
(13.) UTSA --- [the proximity has the makings of a potential future rivalry]
(14.) Stanford --- [this one gave me fits ... still unsure; then again, seeing my record, meh]
(15.) Arkansas State --- [anything can happen]
(16.) Alabama --- [almost went the other way; but I just couldn't]
(17.) Air Force --- [night game in the altitude of Colorado Springs]
(18.) Minnesota --- [the Gofers have a joyous trip to Happy Valley]
(19.) UCF --- [again with the balanced offense theory]
(20.) TCU --- [home team should get the edge; the Big XII is interesting this year]
