Re: MyTurn\'s week 8 CFB (10/19-10/21)
Not to be rude, but... I think you'll be fortunate to escape with 6-7 with these picks... And that's WITH the 1 game head start. Your beloved Illini wil bedevil you again. Twice. G Tech and all totals also look shaky to me.

Re: West Virginia -22 @ UCONN
[ QUOTE ]
West Virginia -22 @ UCONN Sagarin predictor has W VA 22 points better. Dunkel has the Mountaineers 30 points ahead. Both don't include the home field. 2 things stand out here. First, the Mountaineers strength (rushing attack) is the UCONN weakness (rushing defense). The Huskies are #105 verse the run, allowing over 177 ypg. West Virginia is #1 running, averaging over 328 yards per game...uh oh! Woodshed city! Second, W VA gets a national spotlight after being snubbed in the first BCS ratings. This is a huge chance for a statement verse an inferior opponent. Last year, WV beat UCONN 45-13 on 228 yards rushing and 144 passing verse 129 total yards for UCONN. [/ QUOTE ] 2nd half picks West Virginia -10 @ UCONN West Virginia/UCONN O23 The Mountaineers have seen UCONN's best and Rich Rodriguez is making the adjustments. A good 2nd half team conscious of polls and whatnot will come pounding through.

Texas -5 @ Nebraska
[ QUOTE ]
Thoughts on the NE/Texas game? should be a good one. Too bad its at 11 am tomorrow, so I'll have to get up early. [/ QUOTE ] OK...Orange, you made me look at this so you reap what you sow. Since I jinxed your Gators last week by picking them, I'll reverse the jinx by going with the Longhorns this week. Texas -5 @ Nebraska good to -6 One of the highlight games of the weekend. Nebraska is riding high off of playing the 97th best schedule in the country. Other than USC (a 28-10 loss), the Cornhuskers have faced number 63, 81, 104, 133, 140, and 179 in the country according to sagarin. Sure, the Huskers have handled business for the most part (that Kansas game was odd though), but the competition level steps up in a big way this week. Remember how USC dominated the Huskers on offense, here it comes again. The Longhorns are #2 in rushing defense and an above average pass efficiency defense. Sure, Baylor torched some yards and points against the Longhorns, but the Bears were also sacked 5 times and made 5 turnovers. Texas is the real deal on defense as Oklahoma can testify. I predict some success, but mainly tough times for the Nebraska offense. Nebraska's real trouble comes on defense. Colt McCoy has matured every week. He's a good gunslinger ready to crush the competition. He's been on fire lately. He torched Oklahoma and is looking to excel on the national spotlight again, though I do have some concerns about it being his first real road game. Nebraska's defense just isn't ready for this. They've been lit up by gamebreaking playmakers at WR. The Huskers beat up on the teams without those, but USC and Kansas wideouts made Nebraska look silly. I predict big things for Sweed and company.
