Not much of a weekend nationally as the the Oklahoma – Missouri game is the only game between two ranked teams this weekend. Lots of other interesting Big 12 match-ups this week too. I’m of course hoping Texas at Texas Tech is a dominating Texas win, but there’s a good chance it’s a high scoring, exciting game. Texas A&M is at their biggest rival Baylor in a game that’s been close the last several years, though the game doesn’t look like it’s even being televised.

Here’s our picks for the games this weekend:

Last week: 9 – 3

Year to date: 87 – 10
(19) Oklahoma @ (23) Missouri Missouri Oklahoma

The only big matchup this weekend is in the Big 12, with Texas and Nebraska battling it out up in Lincoln. If Texas can win this matchup they will set themselves up well to run out the rest of their games. Want to get pumped up about the Nebraska game, check out this video of the 1996 Big 12 Championship game.

One other game I am interested in is Iowa and Michigan. Iowa really dropped the ball last week losing to Indiana, but maybe that will make the Wolverines look past them and allow them to keep the game close.

Here’s how this Saturday’s games will go down:

  Brian
Last week: 8 – 4
Year to date: 67 – 18

One big matchup in the SEC and not much else. The Florida Gators go on the road to Auburn for one of several tough SEC tests they’ll have to pass if they want to reach the BCS championship game in January. That’s this week’s only game between two ranked teams. Michigan also has an important game in Happy Valley, while most people believe Ohio State will be the team to come out of the Big 10 the Wolverines are still undefeated and climbing the rankings.

Here’s how this Saturday’s games will go down:

Last week: 9 – 3

Three big ones this weekend, two in the always fun Southeast Conference and of course the Red River Shootout (I hate calling it the Red River Rivalry) in Dallas between the Longhorns ans Sooners. If Texas can knock off their rivals from across the border, by the end of the weekend they could be in the driver’s seat for the Big 12 South title. If LSU upsets Florida, Texas is one step closer to rematch with Ohio State on January 8th. Lots of undefeated and one-loss teams and Saturday’s games could clear things up a little more.

Here’s our picks for this Saturday:

  Brian
Last week: 10 – 2
Year to date: 50 – 11

Last week everyone was a winner. Thanks to the complete lack of any interesting matchups we both finished 12 – 0 for the week’s picks. The games this week (other than Texas vs. SHSU) should be a little tougher to pick. Biggest game of the week is easily #1 Ohio State at #13 Iowa in a Big 10 conference game. The Buckeyes will have to perform better than they did last week if they want to win on the road. In the Big 12, the most interesting game pits Texas Tech on the road against Texas A&M. The Red Raiders have owned the Aggies lately but neither team has looked impressive early in the season.

Here’s this week’s winners:

This weekend almost seems boring compared to last, with only one matchup of Top 25 teams. Louisville is in a dangerous spot this weekend playing at Kansas St coming off what might be their biggest win in school history. Penn St at Ohio St is the big game of the weekend, although I really don’t see Penn St putting up much of a fight.

Here is how we see the games going down this weekend:

  Brian
Last week: 9 – 4
Year to date: 28 – 9

Year to date: 34 – 3
Wisconsin @ (6) Michigan Michigan Michigan

While the first “Game of the Year” of the year was last week, this week features several very interesting games. Seven games feature a pair of ranked teams facing off, including four matchups I’d classify as big games. I’ll be at the Texas versus Rice game, but I will definitely find a way to be in front of a TV for Michigan at Notre Dame and LSU at Auburn games at 2:30 CST.

Should be a great Saturday of football, here are our picks for this weekend:

  Brian

The biggest game of the regular season goes down this Saturday when Texas hosts Ohio State. And since the AP moved Texas up to #2 today, this is the first meeting between the #1 and #2 teams during the regular season in 10 years. The only other big game of note this week is #19 Penn State taking on #4 Notre Dame. Let’s see if Notre Dame can play a little closer to their expectations.

And just to remind everyone, I was undefeated last weekend with my picks and I expect this weekend to be no different.

Here’s this week’s picks:

Only a couple of games between ranked teams for the opening weekend. There’s a lot of talk about California giving USC a run this season in the Pac 10 and we’ll find out a little bit about the Bears as they have an early road test against Tennessee. The Vols have talent and should be improved from last season. The biggest game of the weekend doesn’t actually take place till Monday. Florida State and Miami face off in primetime in high definition on ABC. Both the Seminoles and Hurricanes finished below their fans’ expectations last season and are looking to rebound to become national title contenders once again.
