ROY'S TOTAL RECORD ( 12-8)

#19 Miami over Pitt

Boston College  over Virginia Tech .. Think VT has it together this season finally. Friday Change to Boston College.
Notre Dame over #16 Stanford... Notre Dame has too many offensive weapons and a great coach to keep losing
#12 South Carolina over #17 Auburn... Auburn has not been playing up to par; this might be South Carolina's year for SEC East crown
Middle Tennessee State over Louisiana-Lafayette.
#1 Alabama over #10 Arkansas... Too bad for Ryan Mallett and a great Arkansas team, Bama is just better.
#21 Michigan over Bowling Green... when I picked this game as one of my five, I didn't realize Matt Schilz is out.
Cal over #14 Arizona... After emotional win over Iowa, its time for a let down AND Cal can run run run. Cal can't stop the run, luckily for them, Zona can't run.
#3 Boise State over #24 Oregon State... My heart wants Boise to lose, but its not going to happen this week.
Mississippi over Fresno State... This could go either way.

2nd Year : College Pick Em Week 2

ROY'S PICKS:

    







My man… you chose all the games I was going to pick…. I wanted Boise State to lose. They can’t survive a BCS conference schedule.

Mich @ ND … I want to go with Michigan; UCONN’s defense last year was semi solid and UM roasted them. Game will be a shootout because UM defense is suspect and Brian Kelley is an offensive genius and with recent injuries to Roundtree and Johnson, ND will be victorious.

Miami @ OSU… homer pick I know, but I’ve gotta go with OSU. Big Ten should have strong year this year.

PSU @ Bama… lack of Heisman winning RB makes this a tougher call (with Ingram tide rolls, without him tide still roles); going with Bama; but I’m cheering for PSU and think they have a shot.

FSU @ OU… hard call, Utah St is def better team than Samford. It’s in Norman so I’m going with OU
Rice @ N. Texas… I see you’re up to your old tricks again. Rice wins.
#23 Gerorgia @ S. Carolina… South Carolina
Stanford @ UCLA… Stanford
MSU @ FAU… MSU
Central Mich @ Temple… CMU
Hawaii @ Army… UH
