I am back...and so are my PICKS!!!

Alabama/Auburn- If the tide had won last week this would have turned out to be the biggest Iron bowl in recent history!!! This will still be a HUGE game with large ramifications depending on how LSU finishes out. The Tide has the best defense in the SEC in my opinion. No one is gonna blow then out..PERIOD. Their offense has definantly felt the loss of Prothro but Brody Croyle is an experienced QB and from what I can tell a great leader. Auburn has a good defense, but not great. UGA exposed their pass defense a little last week, but AU's run defense still appears to be strong. Kenny Irons is a STUD at the RB position and as long as Brandon Cox doesn't loose the game for them it should stay close. This game is an absolute tossup for me...I give the edge to Auburn simply because of home field advantage. 21-20 Tigers!!!

Fresno State/USC- If USC is going to loose this will be the game. Fresno is an outstanding team. I watched them destroy a good Boise State team to win the WAC conference. Pat Hill has done wonders with the Bulldog program!!! USC is USC, with Bush and Leinart its gonna be a tough task for Fresno. If USC has a weakness its their defense and FSU has an outstanding offense. I Cant believe I am picking this way.......35-28 Fresno!!!

Miami/GT - Canes are gonna eat the Wrecks lunch in this game. I am not even gonna analyze the game because both offensively and defensively its a huge mismatch....Except at one position. Both Ball and Wright are quality QB's. 41-17 Canes

South Carolina/Clemson- Look for a let down from the Game Cocks. They have over achieved all season long and their lack of depth will finally catch up with them against the Tigers. Tommy Bowden wins his annual 7 games and keeps his job for another year. 24-21 Tigers

I blew last week and ran my record straight up to 19-12....shoot I am getting worse with my picks not better!!! :) Have a great football weekend!!!
