College Football Pickoff - Week 10

I can't believe there are only five weeks left in the college football season...it's what makes Fall the best time of the year. While the NFL stares at an impending lockout in 2011, we know one thing for sure...college football will still be alive and well. As much as I love the NFL, would it be as popular today if fantasy football weren't as popular in today's society? The answer is no...would you have watched last week's Rams-Lions game if you didn't have fantasy football implications? I sure wouldn't have.

With that, coming off a 6-3 week (as was Rich)...here are my picks for Week 10:

Pac-10

Arizona 38, Washington St. 14
-I think it’s smart picking just about the same score every game for the Cougs…I was one point off last week when they lost to Notre Dame! UofA won’t cover the big 31 point spread as WSU has been slowly improving as the season has gone along. This is Arizona's last "easy" game before a brutal closing schedule (@CAL, OREGON, @ASU, @USC).

USC 27, ASU 10
-I wouldn’t want to be playing the Trojans this week after they got pounded by Oregon last Saturday…look for blowout city in Tempe.

Oregon 34, Stanford 21
-The Ducks are on a collision course to the Rose Bowl unless Arizona and Oregon St. can do something about it.

UCLA 24, Washington 16
-Huskies QB Jake Locker might miss this one…and if so, it could be a rout. If not, UCLA still gets it’s first conference win in 2009.

Cal 27, Oregon St. 24
-I really want to pick the upset here…but as a UofA fan, do I really want Cal to lose at home the week before they host us? That’s why I’m going with the Golden Bears.

Notable Games:

Penn St. 20, Ohio St. 13
-Can Terrelle Pryor win a big road game in his native state? Maybe when he’s a senior…but not today.

Alabama 27, LSU 17
-The Crimson Tide are on a collision course for a defacto playoff game against Florida in the SEC Championship on December 5^th.

Oklahoma 23, Nebraska 10
-The Huskers offense has been brutal as of late…and I don’t think the defense can hold Oklahoma under 20.

Have a good weekend everyone!
