College Football Picks: WEEK ELEVEN
I can't believe it is November, and the games continue to get bigger and bigger. Three HUGE games involving TOP 12 teams will take place this week, which will again mess up the current BCS standings. The #8th ranked University of Utah Runnin' Utes will host the #12th ranked Horned Frogs from Texas Christian University (TCU) in a Thursday night game which will eliminate one of the top non-BCS schools trying to break into a BCS bowl. The #2 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders host the #9th ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys. Finally the #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide will put their top ranking on the line as they visit the LSU Tigers.
Join me in predicting who will win the featured games by posting your list of winners in the comments section of this blog. I will compose a list of those of you who are regular contributors and rank your overall records which will be posted on this site. It's never to late to join! See if you can be a college football expert in predicting the winning teams. Good luck!

and even though you didn't ask: TCU over Utah
important because I think the winner of this game will end up in the BCS...if TCU wins, the voters will put TCU in front of Boise due to better schedule/wins, and computers will be a toss up/slight edge to TCU...unless Ohio State really loses, then Boise and the winner of this game could both go BCS-ing...but that is another discussion

Alabama, FL, GA, Texas T, OK, USC, Nwestern, WVA, NC, Oregon.
TCU, Utah Mountain West Conference show down should be a great game tonight. Picking Utah. with BYU in the top 25 also the MWC 3 out of 9 teams are showing the BCS that their formula is as weak as Bush's grasp of the english language.

Vandy will make the Fla game watchable, and I'd bet the house that the Gators won't beat them by the -24 line. Except that I don't have a house. But I did just put $100 on it. (In Vegas, of course.)
Um, I don't think I've ever actually said this... out loud, but GO DORES!!!
