I have about 10 minutes to type this blog. So there will be very few comments. I contemplated not even typing this since it'd be such a half-hearted effort, but I wanted to get my picks in. Hopefully I'll be more successful than last week, which was an utter tragedy.
Last Week: 1-5
Total Record: 5-7
Tennessee at #1 Florida (-29.5 and 52): Lane Kiffin is probably wishing he'd never opened his big mouth. Typically my picks focus only on the point spreads, but I had to get in on the over/under action in this one. This game could become something historic. This is the equivalent of Screech from "Saved by the Bell" taking shots at Debo behind his back, and now it's time for payback. My Pick: Florida with the points and the OVER.
Texas Tech at #2 Texas (-17.5): Texas Tech has been nothing short of explosive this year, but my gut tells me the Longhorns have revenge on their minds. My Pick: Texas.
FSU at #7 BYU (-7.5): There's a part of me that believes this fairytale will eventually come to an end; however, it won't be this week. Max Hall comes up big again. My Pick: BYU.
#19 Nebraska at #13 Virginia Tech (-5): This has all the makings of a classic game. My Pick: Virginia Tech.
Duke at #22 Kansas (-23): The Jayhawks are clearly the better team, but I truly don't believe they're over 3 TDs better. My Pick: Duke.

You saw that Nebraska VTech game coming, but that FSU/BYU game blindsided you.
FSU's offense looks like classic FSU teams from our undergrad years.
