Week 13 picks

The ACC Atlantic game is up for grabs
One team is expected to be in this situation as Virginia Tech comes in. But the other is quite the surprise as at 9-2 Virginia has a shot at playing for the ACC championship. Virginia who has been lead by their defense to this point. They also expect to lead them through the game into the ACC championship game against Boston College. Of course we will want to watch out for the Cavalier’s Sewell as he could tuck the ball and run at any point. Also he will be looking for revenge against the Hokies since they have won 3 straight years in this 89 year rivalry. It will take 60 straight minutes of good play for Virginia to win this game, this year.
Beamer and his Hokies plan to keep that from happening though. With “Beamer” ball in play watch out for some impressive special teams. Yet a defense that will be looking to keep Virginia from scoring. As neither team is really prepared for any kind of shoot out. Need less to say the Hokies, or the Cavaliers wouldn’t mind to be able to make this game into a blow out. If either team scores 30 points they win most likely no matter how good either teams offense is, or special teams. A little ACC mix up is perhaps in the making here today?.. Or perhaps the expected looms.

115 years of playing have never been this important
If I were asked what was more important the first 115 times these teams have played or this one game, I’d have to say it would be this game. Missouri and Kansas both are in the National title hunt. As either team just has to win here and then beat the Big 12 south opponent in the championship to get into the national title game. Seeing as LSU lost to Arkansas now there is no way either team should or could be counted out. Kansas is 11-0 and looking at their best season in for ever. They also have a shot to be the only BCS team to go undefeated this season. As Hawaii is also undefeated but not a BCS team.
Two of the nation’s top offenses and quarterbacks are coming into this game. As both Daniels and Reesing have thirty touchdowns. Also to many the winning team’s quarterback should be shot up into the Heisman picture. The question remains which teams defense will step up. Kansas’s defense has looked better recently. But can they step up the challenge this week. Neither teams’ offense can really be expected to be totally relied on. Which may give the upper hand to the Tigers as they have deadly return man, Jeremy McLain. If you have a heart condition this may not be the game for you.
Kansas 53 Missouri 49Don’t count the Big East out this week.
Could this be the year. Could this finally be the season that they step up and make it into the national title game. Well plenty in West Virginia hope so. But to do so they’ll have to survive this week against the surprise team of the Big East in Connecticut. Who would like to win the conference. As this game will decide. But can the Huskies keep playing as they have been. Or will this be the year for the Mountaineers. Who haven’t lost since they fell to South Florida. Of course all the pressure is on at home now that LSU fell. A win and they get to keep in the title race a loss and all of the sudden the Buckeyes are sitting in an almost automatic national title spot.
The Huskies hope that their defense which has been playing well will step up and be able to contain Steve Slaton and Pat White. Though U-Conn’s fourth season in the Big East has been amazing, some still say that they’ve been lucky with opponents making mistakes that they cash in on. But the Huskies will have to prove other wise if they want to win this game today. 60 minutes of football separates one of these teams from a Big East Championship. Don’t expect a whole lot in this game, it is just another crazy one.
