College Football Picks - Week 2

Wow, last week may have produced the biggest upset college football has every seen. I finished the week 59-11, would have been 60-10 had Michigan not melted like an ice cream cone on a hot August day in Boone, NC.

On to this week’s picks. This week I decided to do away with the Easy Picks section, because apparently there isn’t any easy games to pick. The games between FBS and FCS teams will be included in the Other Games section. Winners are in RED.

Pac-10 picks:

Oregon State at Cincinnati - Another Thursday night game for the Beavers, another hard-fought victory.

California at Colorado State - The Bears had a huge win last week, I don’t see a let down this week on the road against a mediocre MWC team.

Oregon at Michigan - Michigan will not lose a 2nd game at home to a nonconference opponent.

Boise State at Washington - The Jake Locker era got off to a good start last Friday. His Husky Stadium debut will not have the same results.

BYU at UCLA - UCLA starts the season 2-0 and BYU cannot beat both the Pac-10 schools on its schedule.

San Diego State at Washington State - Cougs pick up first win of the year with 40,000+ fans cheering them on at Qwest Field.

Colorado at Arizona State - The Sun Devils win big for a second week in a row.

Northern Arizona at Arizona - This FBS team will not pull a Michigan.
