			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Holy crap, it is 2 a.m. Saturday and I have not made my picks. So no bullshit today, and short column. I&#8217;m an idiot.</p>
<p><strong>Big 12<br />
No. 15 Oklahoma State at Baylor</strong><br />
No, you aren&#8217;t even getting team records this week. Why? I&#8217;m too lazy to look them up and type them in after copying and pasting. Suck it.<br />
<span id="more-2009"></span><br />
Anywho, I still think OK State is not that good. Yeah, they did beat Mizzou (bad call there on my part) but somehow they just don&#8217;t do it for me. That said, there&#8217;s no way Baylor even comes within 3 touchdowns.</p>
<p><strong>Iowa State at Nebraska</strong><br />
You know ISU has actually been somewhat good in this decade? I didn&#8217;t either, until Wikipedia told me it was true. Also surprising is that the Cyclones have actually beaten Nebraska in this decade. Twice! Really. Not this year.</p>
<p><strong>Colorado at Kansas State</strong><br />
Nice upset by the Buffs last week against Kansas. I&#8217;m thinking they can be 2-0 against the entire state this week. Which, admittedly, isn&#8217;t that hard to accomplish.</p>
<p><strong>Oklahoma at No. 25 Kansas</strong><br />
I didn&#8217;t watch a minute of the OU-UT game, but I think Bradford got hurt again. Are they good enough without him to beat the Jayhawks? (No, honestly, I have no idea, I&#8217;ve only seen them play a single half against BYU with him. So I&#8217;ll go with KU just because I know what they can do.)</p>
<p><strong>Texas A&amp;M at Texas Tech	</strong><br />
Something about Texas Tech makes me really happy inside. Everything about Texas A&amp;M makes me mad that the state of Texas exists (I lived there for a year, those f#(!ers are insufferable). I think you can see where I&#8217;m going with this.</p>
<p><strong>No. 3 Texas at Missouri</strong><br />
Homecoming for Mizzou will spell disaster if they don&#8217;t stop falling apart in the second half of all their conference games.</p>
<p><strong>Big East</strong><br />
Rutgers already beat Army today (Friday nights? Again? Why?!), so that&#8217;s just one less pick I have to make.</p>
<p><strong>South Florida at No. 20 Pittsburgh</strong><br />
USF got steamrolled by the Bearcats, but that&#8217;s their only blemish on a solid season that includes a win over the Seminoles. Pitt has done&#8230; absolutely nothing. Remind me why people think they&#8217;re good again?</p>
<p><strong>Connecticut at No. 23 West Virginia</strong><br />
UConn wins for Jasper Howard. It&#8217;s the only pick I can make without sounding like a douche who hasn&#8217;t watched either team.</p>
<p><strong>Louisville at No. 5 Cincinnati</strong><br />
Well, OK Cincy hasn&#8217;t really done sh!t either this season, but for some reason I guess I like the fact that they seem to be just coming out of nowhere. Also, I have to pick against any team that wears football jerseys that say &#8220;The &#8216;Ville&#8221; on them.</p>
<p><strong>Akron at Syracuse</strong><br />
I searched for something insightful to say here, but instead I got this: Nothing. Absolutely nothing will happen in this game, and no one will even notice.</p>
<p><strong>Big Ten</strong><br />
Iowa at MSU just might be the game of the week in the entire NCAA.</p>
<p><strong>Minnesota at No. 19 Ohio State	</strong><br />
OK, nation. As much as it pains me to admit as a Big Ten fan, Ohio State is just not that good. I mean, sure, they are KINDA good. That loss to USC didn&#8217;t prove much other than that USC is just really good, but the near-miss against Navy combined with the loss at a really, really, sh!tty Purdue team just tells us all we need to know. Seriously, Prudue really sucks. Honestly. Bad. BUT&#8230; they&#8217;ll still beat the Gophers at home. I think. </p>
<p><strong>Indiana at Northwestern</strong><br />
Northwestern&#8217;s three losses have all been close. Then again, so have all three of their FBS wins. They&#8217;ll beat the Hoosiers, but it will be a lot closer than it should.</p>
<p><strong>Illinois at Purdue</strong><br />
Basketball season is coming soon (I seem to say that a lot about the Illini these days, huh?). Until then, wake me up when Juice Williams actually lives up to his potential. I&#8217;ll go with Purdue just based on last week, despite their major suckiness.</p>
<p><strong>No. 13 Penn State at Michigan</strong><br />
OK. I&#8217;ll level with you. I hate Michigan. So much. But they, unlike Ohio State, actually have the tools. They may not be a great team NOW, but just wait two years and they will be a legit top ten team when Tate Forcier gets more experience. On top of that, they have a great shot of pulling off this upset. I&#8217;ll go with them today for my upset special.</p>
<p><strong>No. 6 Iowa at Michigan State</strong><br />
This really is the national game of the week, in my eyes. Sure, you could give me Texas-Mizzou, but Mizzou&#8217;s defense has not been very good against real Big 12 offenses. At least, not when it counts.</p>
<p>No, give me this game: that touted Iowa defense against Kirk Cousins and a Sparty team with a nicely balanced attack. (Unfortunately, it has been sentenced to the death that is the Big 10 Network).</p>
<p>Regardless, Iowa is just rolling right now, and MSU can&#8217;t seem to win any important games these days, besides Michigan. Hawkeyes go 8-0.</p>
<p>Finally, Notre Dame over Boston College and Hillsdale over Wayne State. Peace.</p>
