College results, Week 3

1. Wyoming at Air Force -2.5: I like both of these teams, but with the Air Force at home I'll give them a field goal win at least.

Air Force 20, Wyoming 12 -- Well, I'm on the board right off the bat. I'm feeling a good week. (1-0)

2. Kansas -4 at Colorado: OK, I'm finally starting to buy into Mark Mangino's Jayhawks. You can't deny the prowess of their defense. Their numbers are sick on that side of the ball. Colorado's always tough at home, but they're mistake prone and I think Kansas will force plenty.

Kansas 19, Colorado 14 -- Well, I barely eeked this one out. CU put up a better fight than I expected, but then again, Boulder is a tough place to play. I can finally say Kansas is for real. (2-0)

3. Texas A&M at Nebraska -2: Wow, this game is tough to pick. In what's being called the "Buyout Bowl" both of these teams are reeling right now with losing skids and controversies. I think the 'Huskers rebound at home, but this is really a tossup.

Texas A&M 36, Nebraska 14 -- Like I said...I should've never picked this game. There was no telling which of these struggling teams would decide to play this week. I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Osbourne was looking for Bill Callahan's replacement at halftime. (2-1)

4. Oklahoma -30 at Iowa St.: I know, 30 points is a lot, but the Cyclones are pathetic and OU is getting on one of those OU rolls.

Oklahoma 17, Iowa St. 7 -- I actually watched this game and the Cyclones could've easily won by two touchdowns. I wish they would have. (2-2)

5. Miami +5.5 at Florida St.: The Seminoles can't move the ball, and Miami's defense is still fairly solid. I'd pick Miami outright if this were at Miami, but I definitely like the Canes with the points.

Miami 37, Florida St. 29 -- Should've gone with my gut and picked the Canes outright. Oh well, a win's a win, I guess. (3-2)

6. Stanford at Arizona -10.5: Stanford's two-week run of good play will end in Tuscon.

Stanford 21, Arizona 20 -- Damn. Color me impressed. (3-3)

7. Texas -24.5 at Baylor: See Oklahoma.

Texas 31, Baylor 10 -- Crap. (3-4)

8. Auburn +10.5 at LSU: LSU will win, yes, but Auburn is a damn tough team that doesn't let teams beat it by more than a touchdown very often.

LSU 30, Auburn 24 -- Haha, told you. This was easily the game of the day and possibly one of the games of the year. Austin Flynn's pass at the end was a thing of beauty. Almost as beautiful as this...(4-4)



9. Arkansas St. at Middle Tennessee -2: This seems like easy money to me.

Middle Tennessee 24, Arkansas St. 7 -- I was right about this one. (5-4)

10. Texas Tech at Missouri -3.5: I'm hedging my bet here. If Mizzou wins by more than a FG, I'm right. If not, I'll likely have a good night (assuming it means a Tech victory). This game will likely be a shootout and might end up being the game of the day in college football. Bottom line is, until Tech can play well at Mizzou and show they can play well after receiving tons of press and cracking the Top 25, which they can never seem to do, I won't be picking Tech in situations like this. Yes, I know that was a run-on sentence, but it's 1:19 A.M. and I'm tired. Deal with it.

Missouri 41, Texas Tech 10 -- My fears about this game we're realized. That's what happens when you throw four interceptions, the first of which was returned for six, and your receivers drop balls AND your coach doesn't realize that sometimes it's wise to put some points on the board, even if it is just three. (6-4)

I'm now 11-18-1. Improvement is a comin'
