Week 2 big game Picks

Some Canes and Sooners what could be better?
One team ranked the other not, One team came off a good season the other a miserable one… highlighted by a fight against FIU. This year though Miami is looking to get off to a better start especially with their second game being at Oklahoma. Do they really stand a chance against a Big 12 powerhouse? Well they’ll have to prove it. Can the new Cane’s coach Randy Shannon prove that he is a good coach.. That he is Miami (FL) future. Or we’ll he just end up where Coker was at the end of last season? Last week he showed a win… but so did Oklahoma and for those who didn’t know Oklahoma posted 79 points against North Texas, in a big blow out.
What makes this game intriguing is the fact that this would be key a few years ago. Yet little do people know that it still could be. If Miami pulls a win out of this they’ll jump into the top 25 also they’ll be a big threat in the ACC. So if you want a game to watch at noon this weekend this would be my advice. We have a hot Oklahoma offense and what is suppose to be a hot Miami Defense going at it my wonder though is which one will be able to come out on top?
Oklahoma 31 Miami (Fl) 17

College Game Day will be here Saturday so it must..
Be a good game.
Like my little trick there? This week in Baton Rouge at 9:22 EST, LSU will host the team with a dream… some have called them America’s team I see why… Virginia Tech. This is the game of the weekend and for good reasons. These two teams have some two of the best defenses in the nation. Also VT is still playing with all the passion in the world.. After the tragedy back in May. So this game is about to be one of the hardest fought games this year and possibly have the biggest impact of any game the first six weeks.
Neither team looked good the first week. Although LSU won 45-0... Mississippi St. gave them trouble no matter what any one says.. If MSU would have been able to hold on to the ball they would have been winning by half time. Then for Virginia Tech who had a scare against East Carolina they might have been in big trouble if it weren’t for the interception they took back for a touchdown. But ultimately both teams came out with a win and are still looking for a conference championship and a National Championship.. So which defense can do it?
Virginia Tech 17 LSU 14

BCS school vs. Non BCS Easy win right?
Not so fast my friends… That’s right TCU has every right to believe that they will be able to pull the upset off against Texas. I don’t blame them either… Texas almost blew it against Arkansas St. last week in a 21-13 game. Here’s the big thing about all of this though does that show that Colt McCoy isn’t as good as everyone thought originally.. Is he just one and out? We’ll find out this weekend as they play TCU at home… TCU ranked 19th is looking to pull the upset off over one of the teams to fall lower in the rankings after the close call and bad game… The big thing for TCU is that they are going to try and use this to get into a BCS game.
What makes this game exciting is the fact that any non BCS team will play a lot harder against a BCS team. Since this is basically their one shot to prove that they deserve a shot at a big bowl game. Normally the teams they play are seen as not very good, and usually for a good reason as for the most part they lose to teams from big conferences. So will the tables be turned this week… will this be another top 10 teams turn to suffer the upset?
TCU 27 Texas 24
