Picks

This Thursday night the college football season officially opens. It is time to make some predictions:

Who wins the ACC?


Clemson. I want to go Wake Forest but I just don't think they can make enough noise on offense. Once they get a lead they play not to lose the game. You don't win games playing not to lose.

Who wins the Big 12?


Oklahoma. This is a damn good football team. I think they win the conference and have a good shot to play in the BCS championship game. Bob Stoops gets a chance to end the three year losing streak in BCS bowl games.

Who wins the Big East?


South Florida. Everyone is picking Pittsburgh but come on they really only beat WVU last year. South Florida has beat Pitt and WVU the last two times they have played. This team is experienced and ready.

Who wins the Big Ten?


Ohio State. This is the best team Jim Tressel has ever had. There is talent everywhere. Besides this is a down conference and Ohio State will roll through it. This one is really a no-brainer.

Who wins the Pac-10

USC. As long as they kick this injury bug the conference is theirs. They have 4-5 All-Americans on defense. Mark Sanchez is the big question mark (even without the knee injury). If he plays well USC is a top 3 team (if not #1).

Who wins the SEC?


Georgia. This is the hardest conference to predict because there is talent everywhere. Georgia has the most playmakers. If they can get past Florida they could do something special.

I'm not sure I like your picks, Joe. Georgia's the easy pick...they might be the most talented but they also play the toughest teams. USC has failed to deliver the past few years, and I think I remember reading on your blog about their inexperience at QB, even if they have talent there. My vote is that USC and/or Georgia drop one. But then again, what the hell do I know.
