Week 8 Picks

Last week was successful, going 4-2 and taking the season record to 19-10. 


South Carolina -7.5 at Tennessee - The Gamecocks were helped last week by Missouri taking out Georgia and now may have the inside track to the SEC East title with Georgia's injuries, Florida's lack of offense and Missouri losing their starting quarterback.  Spurrier loves beating Tennessee and should put up points on an over-matched Volunteer squad.

Oregon State -10.5 at Cal - The Bears are playing absolutely no defense.  The Beavers quarterback Shawn Mannion is leading the nation in TD passes with 25 and has only 3 interceptions.  This number seems like a gift and the Beavers are going to be able to get their In-N-Out Burger reward.

Ball State -20 at Western Michigan - Ball State struggled last week against Kent State but still moved to 6-1.  Western Michigan had no such struggle in losing their seventh game in a row this year, 33-0, to Buffalo.  The Cardinal should have no problem giving the Broncos their eighth loss in a row.

Army -1 at Temple - The Owls might be the worst team in college football.  They're near the bottom in scoring and yards per game and Army is actually playing decent this year.  They should be able to rush for 350+ yards against Temple and win the game.

at Ohio State -18 Iowa - The Buckeyes and Urban Meyer understand that the perception is their schedule is weak and if they want to play in the BCS Championship game, they're going to have to take every Big Ten opponent to the woodshed.  Will it make a difference if Alabama, Oregon and/or Clemson/Florida State are undefeated at the end of the season?  Probably not, but the Buckeyes can only take care of what's in front of them.
