Went 2-2 last week as Baylor and Maryland blew out their opponents while Kansas State and Florida failed to cover. The season record fell to 9-4. After last weeks conglomerate of absolute crap games, we get a bunch of great games this weekend, so, on with the picks.
Stanford -8.5 at Washington State - The Cougars are playing better this year, but people are over-rating the victory against a not great USC team. Stanford is a great team and they will hammer Washington State. The Cardinal took their foot off the gas pedal last weekend against Arizona State and ended up with a score that was closer than the game really was. That won't be the case this weekend as Stanford blasts Washington State.
Miami -16.5 at South Florida - I was just wondering this week "what happened to Jim Leavitt, the former head coach of USF?" Turns out he's the linebackers coach for the San Francisco 49ers. Think the Bulls maybe would like to have him back on the sidelines? They are horrible right now and the Hurricanes are coming in on fire. Miami will be up 20 by halftime and cruise to victory.
Oklahoma -3.5 at Notre Dame - The Sooners are stunningly only 1-9 against the Fighting Irish all-time. They got blown out last year on their own field by Notre Dame. Notre Dame's defense is still decent but the offense seems sluggish. It probably won't be high scoring, but the Sooners get the win in South Bend.
South Carolina -6.5 at Central Florida - UCF has played well this year as they've gone 3-0. But the Gamecocks and the SEC are a different level of competition. They've had a week off and Jadeveon Clowney should have a big game as South Carolina rolls.
Oklahoma State -18.5 at West Virginia - Oklahoma State is the bonus pick this week and once again I'm taking the road favorite. The Mountaineers have been a disaster this year, culminating in a 37-0 blowout to Maryland last week. Their offense is still clueless and the defense isn't much better. The Cowboys roll into Morgantown and keep the couches from being set on fire.
