I detest WSU (bleed Husky purple here, proud alum) but I'll be damned if Leach isn't the most interest man in CFB.

USC is on serious upset alert. A lot of good teams have been shanked in a late, cold game in Pullman, including the Dawgs

SC has played bad against some mediocre teams. Plus, Leach is nearly always good for one major upset in a season. Although that sometimes means his team loses to an FCS team.

Not a Wazzu alum or anything, I'm just a yuge fan of Leach's particular brand of insanity.

How good am I! Called it. There's gonna be a lot of se, drugs and debauchery on the Palouse this weekend. I had more off color jokes planned but I'd get banned.

1. Louisville's simply a better team than NC State. If it weren't for Clemson, they might actually be favorites to win the ACC.
2. Memphis should win this one easily...UConn is not good in Football...they're a Women's Basketball program.
3. Boise State has not played well this year, losing on their Blue Turf for the first time in 108 games, plus BYU is hosting.
4. Like USC, Washington is too good for Cal to actually win.
5..Oregon certainly can win this game, as it's being played in Eugene...but Washington State played very well against USC, and Oregon didn't look as well last week against Cal. I'm taking the hot hand.
6. Wake Forest doesn't have a good win. Clemson's best win is a ranked Auburn team. Tell me again who's a better team?
7. Trap game for Oklahoma heading into the Red River Rivalry game with Texas, but Iowa State just isn't in their league.
8. Penn State should win this one easily.
9. Another trap game, as I believe Georgia's rivalry game with Florida is next week. Unlike Iowa State, Vanderbilt is talented enough to squeak out a win against the Bulldogs, if only because the SEC East is so competitive (any one of Georgia, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Florida or Kentucky could win it).
10. I literally picked this at random.
11. Iowa is better than Illinois, but an upset is possible (and would be devastating for the Hawkeyes narrow hopes of passing Wisconsin for Big Ten West title)
12. Duke may have looked horrible against the Hurricanes but they should beat Virginia, albeit with some difficulty.
13. See Number Ten.
14. TCU's already won one big conference game this season, no reason why they can't make it two. The big question is can they beat Oklahoma?
15. Florida State's season has gone completely off the rails. I'll be shocked if Jimbo Fisher isn't fired (especially if they don't make it to a bowl game-very possible). Miami (FL) on the other hand is having a good season-their best in years.
16. LSU will prove the SEC West is better then the SEC East with win here, though Florida is certainly capable of pulling this one out as well.
17. North Carolina's season has been horrendous. Notre Dame has only played one quality foe in Georgia and lost that game, so while I'm uncomfortable picking the Fighting Irish, it's a safer pick than the Tar Heels.
18. Navy's had a better season than Air Force...then again, they also play in a weaker conference. I'm actually looking forward to the Army-Navy game this year. Looks like both teams will have winning records.
19. Minnesota has the better record, but they've fattened up on cupcakes. Purdue has played more quality opposition, even if they've lost to them.
20. Maryland may have beaten Texas, but since when has that meant much of anything anymore?
21. South Carolina needs to win this if they want to stay in the SEC East race, and I think they will.
22. Call me crazy, but I think Utah State is a dark horse in the Mountain West (especially after seeing Boise State lose at home last week).
23. Houston has a slightly better team then SMU, but these are the top contenders in the American, and two possible contenders for a Group of Five playoff spot.
24. I can't pick Texas with any level of confidence after their loss to Maryland, and in any event the Longhorns will likely be distracted by the Red River Rivalry game with Oklahoma next week.
25. Alabama should win this game easily, especially after destroying a stronger Ole Miss team. If Kevin Sumlin doesn't get to a better bowl this year, does he get fired?
26. Michigan should win this, but like all rivalry games, this has the potential to get interesting, especially with Jim Harbaugh coaching the Wolverines.
27. Wisconsin should dominate this game. I don't know how Nebraska has three wins, but they do. They won't get a fourth here.
28. Colorado is at home against an inferior Arizona team. I like their chances.
29. UCF is favored in this game, but can they sustain it for the rest of Conference play (I do know that after Irma, fundraising will go through the roof)
30. Stanford has again, been a disappointment, while Utah has thrived. The Utes also are playing at home. I like their chances.

-Louisville/NC State Louisville is the worse team. They'll score because of Jackson, but I don't trust their O-line against the NC State defensive front and I don't trust their defense to slow NC State down.

-If we were betting the Vegas line I'd absolutely pick WVU, but I think TCU will win even if they don't cover.

-Here's to hoping Maryland slays another giant

-FSU is playing like ass and is being out-coached left and right. Miami is not. The streak breaks and Jimbo hopefully fires some of his worthless assistants.
