The "Big Weekend" College Football Picks

The premiere game is, of course, the battle between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Michigan. The OSU is favored by 7 at home. Give up the points and bet the Buckeyes. The Wolverines will be exposed as pretenders to the crown.

Cal's at USC for a big Pac 10 match-up and the Trojans are favored by 5 1/2. No one knows which Cal team will show up this week. USC will win this one because of better players in the trenches but Cal's speedy big players will keep it close. Bet the Golden Bears.

Virginia Tech is at Wake Forest for a late season match the bookies have as a pick 'em. Tech has experience in these tough and tense late season battles whereas the Demon Deacons are novices to this pressure. Bet the Hokies.

You gotta be kidding me ... one week after putting the wood to Texas, Kansas State is a 2 1/2 point underdog at in-state rival Kansas. Bet the Wildcats and take the points.

Arizona State is favored by 5 1/2 at home against UCLA. The Sun Devils have failed to impress all year; take the Bruins and the points.

  • Uh oh, I agree with you on 3/5 picks, so I know I better not bet. I think USC will beat Cal by more than 7 and Wake beats VT.

    Has a game ever been as over-hyped as OSU-Michigan?
