NCAA Football Picks

Today is a great day for me - one of the greatest along with the NFL's first day, NFL draft, big NCAA bowl games, big NFL playoff games, and fantasy football draft day....oh, and then my wedding anniversary is pretty cool and I like spending time with my kids too...

If you can't tell, I'm a football nut and get giddy like a kid in a candy store during football season. My eyes get big, my speech gets fast because I'm so excited, and I get football tunnel vision. Ah yes, I love it.

Here are my picks for NCAA football this year. I'm not a prognosticator or anything like that so please don't bet on these and send death threats when you lose money - I'm just a guy that loves the game a little more than most.

ACC Winner: Florida State beats Virginia Tech
WHY? - Florida State is just flat out better

Big 12 Winner: Oklahoma
WHY? - Oklahoma is ubertalented

Big East Winner: Rutgers
WHY? - they get Pitt, West Virginia, USF, and Cincinnati all at home

Big 10 Winner: Wisconsin beats Nebraska
WHY? - I'm a homer

Pac 12 Winner: Oregon beats USC
WHY? - Oregon is ubertalented and the Pac 12 South is awful

SEC Winner: Alabama beats South Carolina
WHY? - Alabama is ubertalented, LSU is overrated, and Arkansas plays at both 'Bama & LSU

Big Bowl Games: Florida State, Oklahoma, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Oregon, Alabama, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Boise State, Stanford

2011 National Championship Game: Oregon beats Florida State
WHY? Oregon is ubertalented, ACC is too easy, Alabama and Oklahoma will lose at least one tough one, and Boise State is still in a crappy conference

Please feel free to comment, make fun of me, argue with me, or give me your picks. I look forward to the banter!

  1. Is it too late to change my National Champion? LOL. I still think LSU is overrated, but Oregon's offense didn't look too good...
