Week 6 Game Picks and Upsets

Last week I was 2/4 in my picks and 2/3 in my upsets. It was a crazy week with three teams in the top 10 going down and plenty of other upsets. There are a three big games this week and here they are:


Florida State @ Miami


Five years ago, this game would have had serious national championship implications. Now, both teams are unranked and are struggling to regain their prominence in College Football. Last year, Miami travelled to Tallahassee and knocked off the Seminoles 37-29. The most intriguing part of this matchup is the question, which team will return to their glory days first. A win in this game will somewhat answer that question.


Score: 27-20 Miami




Oregon @ USC


Each teams has 1 loss with USC getting falling last week to Oregon's rival, Oregon State. Last year Oregon beat USC in a close game 24-17. You must remember that Oregon played USC with a healthy Dennis Dixon and Jonathan Stewart. This year I look for USC to pound Oregon. Oregon does not have a reliable quarterback to play in the hostile environment that is the Colliseum.


Score: 41-24 USC




Ohio State @ Wisconsin


Could this be the year that Wisconsin finally beats Ohio State? In my opinion, yes it is. Each team already has a loss with Wisconsin getting upset by Michigan and the Buckeyes getting waxed by USC. The big question is if super-frosh Terrelle Pryor can win a game against a real opponent. We'll have to see how he does in a crazy stadium.


Score: 24-17 Wisconsin
