College results...

Let's go back to my picks from today and see how I did.

1. Wisconsin +2 at Illinois: I like how Ron Zook has reinvented his image by turning Illinois into a legitimate program again, but I don't see Wisconsin losing this game. Give me the Badgers straight up.

Illinois 31, Wisconsin 26 -- Well, looks like the Illini will finally crack the Top 25, probably in the mid-teen range. (0-1)

2. Kansas at Kansas St -3.5: K-State looked like USC in last week's win over Texas in Austin. The Wildcats scored three nonoffensive touchdowns, but they won't need that kind of performance to beat the Jayhawks in Manhattan. Plus, Mark Mangino is fat.

Kansas 30, Kansas St. 24 -- OK, I didn't realize Kansas was that good at all. Apparently they have a defense that, coming into the day, was giving up 5.4 points per game. Where did that come from? I chalk this one up to a simple lack of research. (0-2)

3. Georgia Tech at Maryland +3.5: I think the Yellow Jackets win the game, but it'll be close. Give me the Terps with the points.

Maryland 28, Georgia Tech 26 -- Yay, I win one! Not really much else to say here. (1-2)

4. TCU at Wyoming -3: The Horned Frogs will be without headcase defensive end Tommy Blake for the third time this season due to an "undisclosed medical condition." Can anyone say "bi-polar"?? Just a hunch. Anyway, I think the Cowboys wins this by at least 10 points. TCU just hasn't impressed me yet and I see no reason why it will on the road.

Wyoming 24, TCU 21 -- Push. Boo! The Cowboys were dominating the game until getting outscored 15-3 in the fourth quarter. (1-2-1)

5. Oklahoma -12 vs. Texas: The Red River Shootout (yes, I still call it that -- screw political correctness) doesn't carry quite as much weight this year as in years past after both teams suffered shocking defeats last week (OU to Colorado and UT to K-State). Texas has been struggling all season barely beating teams like Central Florida and looked awful in last week's home loss. OU might have lost at Boulder last week on a last-second field goal, but I still believe the Sooners are the best team in the Big 12 South and will roll Texas by at least 20 points.

Oklahoma 28, Texas 21 -- This was the closest this game has been in years and I can't decide if it's good for Texas or bad for OU, meaning I can't decide if OU made Texas look good or vice versa. Regardless, the game makes me believe the Big 12 South is even more wide open than I originally thought. (1-3-1)

6. Arizona St. -9 at Washington St.: The Pac-10 has the most upsets on a regular basis of any major conference, I think. This will not be one of them although the Cougars are good for an upset once a year it seems. The Sun Devils are just too good this year.

Arizona St. 23, Washington St. 20 -- Oops. (1-4-1)

7. Iowa St at Texas Tech -24.5: I've learned to never bet on Texas Tech because a) it just makes me sick and b) you never know what you'll get. However, I simply don't see Iowa State hanging with my Red Raiders in any form or fashion tomorrow. If this game was in Ames, I might think differently but Tech will be still stinging from it's last-minute loss to Oklahoma State two weeks ago, and for some reason I don't think last week's 75-7 whippin' of a I-AA directional school will help relieve that frustration. Look out Cyclones.

Texas Tech 42, Iowa St. 17 -- You've got to be kidding me! Two junk touchdowns in the final minutes against Tech's second teamers and I lose. What a disaster. Oh well, Tech looked awesome and if freshman receiver Michael Crabtree keeps up this torrid pace he's one (six straight multi-TD games, five 3-TD games) he's a bonafide Heisman candidate. (1-5-1)

8. Oklahoma St. +6.5 at Texas A&M: The Aggies are about the same as TCU in my book. They haven't impressed me yet and won't this week. I'm going to just play it safe and go with OSU and the points, but I wouldn't be shocked at all to see the Cowboys leave Kyle Field with a win. Head coach Mike Gundy's impassioned "I'm a man, I'm 40!" rant two weeks ago after his team's win over Texas Tech did one of two things -- rally the troops or deflate the team morale. I'm going with the former. On the other hand, A&M's head honcho, Dennis "Can't be trusted" Franchione made headlines this week by selling top-secret info on the program to boosters for big-time bucks leaving some A&M brass to call for his firing, and that's not even taking into account his disappointing stint at A&M thus far through five seasons.

Texas A&M 24, Oklahoma St. 23 -- Boy, Mike Gundy really did it this time. I'll tell you this -- I can't wait to read Jenni Carlson's column in the Daily Oklahoman after this debaucle. What shady playcalling, especially sending the house for a punt block at the end when all you need is to get into field goal range. Oops, roughing the kicker -- game over. What a dip-S. (2-5-1)

9. Ohio State at Purdue +7.5: Can Purdue break through to the upper echelon of the Big 10 this week? Well, the Boilers can with a win. I don't really see a win happening, but they'll make it close. Toot Toot!

Ohio State 23, Purdue 7 -- Ohio State made a statement with this game. The Buckeyes just earned themselves a No. 2 ranking. (2-6-1)

10. Florida at LSU -7: Florida will have redemption on its mind after last week's stunning loss to Auburn at home. Unfortunately for Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow, the Gators are going to the bayou this week to face the No. 1 team in the land. Glenn Dorsey & Co. will make life very difficult for Tebow and his jump passes and the Tigers will win by two touchdowns in front of the most raucous home crowd in college football. By raucous, I just mean downright scary.

LSU 28, Florida 24 -- I was way off on my assesment of this game. LSU needed a furious rally while taking some serious gambles to come out with a win in this one. Spectacular. (2-7-1)

OK, so I wasn't too successful at my first go-round doing this. I had some really bad breaks (see TCU and especially Texas Tech). Hopefully, my NFL weekend is more successful. I'm going to bed.
