I went 1-2 last weekend in CFB as I didn't find much I liked and it showed. This weekend is just the opposite. I came up with 15 games, forced myself to throw out 4 and am using the next six as opinions. My top five are the star rated plays.
FRIDAY:
1* Boise State -24 1/2
Everybody knows about Boise's dominance at home where they've never lost a conference game. Hawaii is coming off a hard fought win at home after their big road upset at Fresno. They are an inexperienced team due for an emotional and physical letdown. Boise is still scoring as many points as ever but the key is they have a great defense. They've given up only 56 points in five games and 32 of them were to Oregon!!!
Hawaii probably won't get to 10.
SATURDAY:
2* South Carolina +3 1/2
LSU is due for a big letdown after seeing their perfect season go away last weekend in the blowout at Florida. LSU hasn't beaten a single decent team all year and the win over Auburn doesn't look so special anymore. SC's offense is gradually improving but its defense has been outstanding. They're getting a little better every week and are poised to pull a big home upset over a very overrated team. (NOTE: There are still some 3 1/2's out there and I got one but consider buying the hook if you're stuck with 3.)
1* Virginia Tech +3 (-120)
I think V-Tech is a lot better team than Boston College and they ought to be favored even though this is a road game. They've already won road games at Nebraska and North Carolina. BC is another overrated team that hasn't beaten anyone remotely good. They lost at home to Georgia Tech, a team V-Tech beat at home.
1* California -2
Not to be a broken record, but I'm going against another overrated team that hasn't beaten anyone. Arizona is not a Pac-10 contender while Cal remains one of the best teams in the league. They have wins over a really good Michigan State team and beat an Arizona State team last week that desperately needed a win. They should win by at least 10 here.
1* SMU +13
This could be an outright upset. SMU gets a little better every week under June Jones' system and played an excellent Tulsa team very tough last week after playing decently on the road against both Central Florida and Tulane. Houston's defense isn't that good and SMU is getting a lot better at running the run-and-shoot.
Opinions only:
(in order of preference and I like them all)
Duke
Missouri
Kentucky
Rutgers
Iowa State
Utah
