With the football action getting started early this week, I figured I would go ahead and make my picks now, that way I can get all the top 25 action in.  After last weekend's upsets, I am not sure what to think, especially with all the big games this weekend.

Thursday:
# 8 Kentucky at # 11 South Carolina - I am hoping Andre Woodson has some more magic left for tonight's game against the Old Ball Coach and his Gamecocks.  Kentucky pulls it out.

Friday:
Utah at Louisville - I know it isn't a ranked match up, but I will be interested to see if the Cardinals can get their act together this week.  Louisville with the win.

Saturday:
#9 Florida at #1 LSU - After Florida's late game loss last weekend, they are looking for revenge.  It will be a tough one on the road.  I'm still going with Florida though.

Stanford at #2 USC - USC wins big, without a doubt.  I don't think there is any possibility of an upset in this one.

#4 Ohio State at #23 Purdue - It will be interesting to see Purdue's spread offense go against Ohio State's defense.  I am going with the Buckeyes in this one.

#5 Wisconsin at Illinois - After Illinois beat Penn State last week, I am not sure what to think, but I am going to go with Wisconsin's ground game over the Illini.

#6 South Florida at Florida Atlantic - No contest, USF in big fashion.

Bowling Green at #7 Boston College - Matt Ryan needs a strong showing in this one to maintain his Heisman push.  BC comes away with the win.

#10 Oklahoma at #19 Texas - Oklahoma gets back on their wagon and run over the Longhorns.

#12 Georgia at Tennessee - The Vols hold strong at home and pull out the upset.

#13 West Virgina at Syracuse - Can the 'Cuse pull off two upsets this year?  Um, NO...WVU runs wild in this one.

#15 Virgina Tech at #22 Clemson - Tough call.  VTech struggled against UNC last week and Clemson lost at GT.  I am going with Clemson in this one.  I don't see them missing another four field goals in this one.

Utah State at #16 Hawaii - Colt Brennan rebounds from his worst game at UH and the Warriors kick the Aggies off the island.

#25 Nebraska at #17 Missouri - I like the Tigers in this one.  Their defense has performed nicely this year.

#18 Arizona State at Washington State - The Sun Devils continue their aerial assault on the Pac 10 and dust the Cougars.

#20 Cincinnati at #21 Rutgers - The Bear Cats upset Rutgers last year, could it happen again?  I'll take Rutgers at home this time.

Kansas at #24 Kansas State - After the upset of Texas last week, K-State continues their winning ways against in-state rival Kansas.

Apparently the Old Ball Coach owns UK for life. We'll have to keep that in mind next year and place a live bet. Click Clack.

I don't put much stock into that stat considering UK has been a poor team for most of our existence.
