****************Big Games For This Week****************
#1 Alabama(4-0) @ Ole Miss(3-1)- Am i expecting this to be close or really any kind of challenge what so ever for Alabama? No. Ole Miss is the first team the Crimson Tide have faced that tries to run any kind've fancy offense. Yeah i know they beat Michigan, but all you have to do to beat Michigan is stop Denard Robinson. Plus this is a rivalry game, these guys have been playing since the caveman era, and there no love lost between them. So just so you know i'm not expecting an upset, but i think if things go their way the Rebels could hang for a while with the Almighty Crimson Time. My Prediction- Alabama 48 Ole Miss 21
Tennessee (3-1) @ #3 Georgia (4-0)- This is a major trap game for the Bulldogs. Tennesee if clicking on all cylinders can hang with anyone offensively, problem for them is they usually find a way to stub their own toe. So this one could have a wide range of outcomes if played more than once. But all in all i expect Georgia to use all their yound running backs to run all over Tennessee. My Prediction- Georgia 38 Tennessee 23
#24 Baylor (3-0) @ #5 West Virginia (4-0)- This one could live up to the billing at both will race to see how many points they can put up. Baylor has a bette ground game, but the Mountaineers really don't need one. Both are quick strike teams that can score points in a hurry. Plus this is West Virginia's initiation into the Big 12. My Prediction- WV 63 Baylor 48
#9 Ohio State (4-0) @ #19 Michigan State(3-1)- If Sparty could muster any kind've of passing attack to take some pressure off of Bell this might be one heck of a game, and one that i would take Michigan State. Who has a better running game, and defense. But the Buckeyes should have just enough offense to stay ahead of MSU. My Prediction- Ohio State 23 Mich State 15
#10 Texas (4-0) @ Oklahoma State (2-1)- This one is a tough one. Is Oklahoma State good or not, they really haven't played anyone, and the one they did Arizonia took them to the woodshed. Texas is a team designed for the SEC which is what Mack Brown has wanted for a while. A stable of running backs, mediocre quarterback, and good defense. Notice i didn't say great defense because Texas has the talent to be a great defense but just refuses to tackle properly and as such give up more big plays each week that a great defense should. My Prediction- Texas 48 Ok State 35
Arkansas (1-3) @ Texas A&M (2-1)- Right now the Aggies are licking their chops thinking they will finally get a chance to win their first SEC game. With Arkansas unable to find a way to get back to the team they used to be, it is hard to say. A&M is a young team on the rise with a R-Fr quarterback Manziel who has all the moves and is learning a very complicated offense fairly quick. The crowd should be crazy. Arkansas would love nothing better than to get back on track and keep the Aggies from their first SEC win. But throw all of that out. Deep down inside these two team have a deep hatred that has gone on off and on since 1903, with Arkansas winning 62.5 % of the time including a 3 game win streak. Like with most rivalries you can throw out a lot of stuff, as this one should be chippy, with a lot of hitting. My Prediction- Arkansas 33 Texas A&M 32
#23 Virginia Tech (3-1) at Cincinnatti(2-0)- The Bearcats have the quarterback with the coolest sounding name Munchie Legaux (Mun-Che Lee-Go), he is a smooth running quarterback who will give anybody fits trying to tackle. He like Denard Robinson is the key to how well Cinn will do this year, but unlike Michigan Cinn has a lot of side weapons that can explode. Another interesting note, these team have a common team they both have already played. Pittsburgh, VT got smoked by them, and Cinn crushed them. My Prediction- Cinn 34 VT 27

My NFL Power Rankings, Predictions
NFL Power Rankings
1. San Francisco 49ers 2-0, Who knew Alex Smith could be an elite quarterback...well...Harbaugh did lol. The 49ers have been the most dominate team so far, great defense, strong running game, and timely passing can usually lead to a Super Bowl run.
2. Houston Texans 2-0, Two dominate wins, and so far everybodies healthy. Plus the Texans know if their fantasy MVP goes down, his back-up could start for just about everybody else.
3. Green Bay Packers 1-1, With that one loss out of the way, the Pack can go back to worring about what really matters in Titletown.
4. Atlanta Falcons 2-0, Had to spend all week listening to how great Peyton, and Denver was. Looked like someone was angry.
5. San Diego Chargers 2-0, Hurry somebody tell Norv Turner that they are supposed to start slow.
6. Philadelphia Eagles 2-0, Found a way to steal games instead of giving them away like last year.
7. Denver Broncos 1-1, Was the first half just a fluke, or does Manning need to work out a few kinks. Next few weeks will tell.
8. Baltimore Ravens 1-1, Somebody remind Cameron that Ray Rice needs to get fed in the 4th quarter. Is this the Baltimore Ravens or the Jim Kelly Bills?
9. Arizonia Cardinals 2-0, Two different starting quarterbacks, Larry Fitzgerald has 67yds receiving and we cant run, and our offensive line has massive holes...wait we are undefeated lol.
10. New England Patriots 1-1, How important is an offensive line, just ask Brady if he last the season.
11. Seattle Seahawks 1-1, I get it now this is why Wisconsin is struggling to play, the Seahawks are Wisconsin west, smashmouth running game, timely passing, and some luck going their way.
12. Pittsburgh Steelers 1-1, With two key defenders out, can Roethlisberger keep on dodging everything that comes his way?
13. Dallas Cowboys 1-1, Everything that could go wrong did last week, fumbles, play makers dropping everything. Was that just a fluke or can they be the team they were opening week?
14. New York Giants 1-1, Captain Comback strikes again, 253yds passing in the 4th quarter alone. Well i'm promoting him to Fleet Admiral Comback since there isn't anyone better late. Maybe the Giants can find a way to play well the other three.
15. Detroit Lions 1-1, The Lions are hitting on all cylinders except for a depleted Secondary that had to be trying out the ball boy at corner this week.
16. Carolina Panthers 1-1, Can Cam Newton continue on this wave and take his team to the playoffs like he promised or did they catch the Saints at the right time?
17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1-1, One quarter away from being 2-0, but other than the cheap move against the victory formation these guys look like they could be contenders.
18. Chicago Bears 1-1, The real question is how hard, and how long will their offensive line block for an overated Quarterback who has no respect for them?
19. Buffalo Bills 1-1, Who knew that all they had to do to explode was feed CJ Spiller more? After all hes only averaging over 10yds per carry. Fantasy owners are praying Jackson takes his time getting healthy
20. New York Jets 1-1, Is it Tebow time yet?
21. Cincinnatti Bengals 1-1, Well at least they can say they are the best team in Ohio. Defense needs to play like they should if they want to go to playoffs
22. Indianapolis Colts 1-1, Quick turn around for Luck, was it just luck, or shades of things to come?
23. St. Louis Rams 1-1, Offense finally gets going, and a few lucky calls. Are they headed up or down?
24. Washington Redskins 1-1, This is the funny thing about the NFL top of the world one week, bottom the next. RGIII will have to decide this teams fate. As the Defense lost two big starters for the season.
25. New Orleans Saints 1-1, So it looks like the Head Coach is kind've important. Or maybe Jonathan Vilma was cause their defense just plain stinks.
26. Miami Dolphins 1-1, Did Ricky Williams really retire, or did he put on Reggie Bush's number lol. Guess he's finally proving he's a running back and not just a 3rd down guy.
27. Minnesota Vikings 1-1, If they were in any other division but the North this team would have a chance at making the playoffs.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars 0-2, Signs of potential are starting to show, if a little luck finds their way, maybe they can make a challenge.
29. Kansas City Chiefs 0-2, Is this the same team that was winning down the stretch last season? Jamaal Charles's knee needs some more time. How long before the natives go for this Coach?
30. Tennessee Titans 0-2, Guess Vince Young's why Chris Johnson was so good. Right now he's on pace to get 100yds by week 10. Maybe next year they will spend their high draft picks on O-Line
31. Oakland Raiders 0-2, One tough loss turnes into a blow out the next week. Last years team was better, how long before they are auditioning a new Coach?
32. Cleveland Browns 0-2, It took a while, 3 preseason games, 2 regular season games for the almost 30 year old rookie Weeden to throw his first td pass. Then again if Richardson can keep running as hard as he is anybody will have open people to throw to.

****************Big Games For This Week*****************************
#7 Clemson @ #6 Florida State- Only one other game has a change to be bigger, but i don't think it will be. Clemson has rolled all year and with some of their best players being suspended. Florida State has dominated, averaging giving up exactly 1.0 pts per game. This might be a game of the year candidate. My Prediciton- Clemson 34 FSU 33
#9 Kansas State @ #8 Oklahoma- Last Year KSU was on a roll shocking every team they saw till OU put their foot on their neck. But this KSU team is a lot better, and This OU team is a lot worse than the one who crushed them 58-17 last season. The biggest question is, can OU and Landry Jones finally find cohesion with someone not named Ryan Broyles? If they can then this might get ugly. From What i've seen so far this year i say no. My Prediction- KSU 38 OU 28
#22 Michigan @ #13 Notre Dame- No rest for the weary. After stomping the Spartans hopes last week, now they must face another old rival and one that is aching for respect after what Alabama did to them. Last year the Fighting Irish let Robinson score 28pts in the fourth quarter to come back and win 35-31. I'm hoping for a full game of back and forth that we all deserve. My Prediciton- Michigan 38 Notre Dame 35
California @ #15 USC- Cal should have beaten Ohio State last week. USC finally had their biggest weakness exposed (Depth) last week, when one of the smartest lineman in football, center Khaled Holmes can't play, and someone else has to make the line calls, then two running backs go down, you know it just isn't your day. This has been a rivalry for a while, but this one might get ugly if USC is healthy. My Prediction- USC 24 Cal 17
#26 Arizonia @#3 Oregon- Its kind've sad that one of these teams has to lose with the way both are playing such good football right now. If this was in Tuscon, the upset Bunnies would really be hopping. My Prediction- Oregon 55 Arizonia 42
BYU @ Boise State- Both teams have lost key home games which has taken some of the luster out of this game. Boise seems to have righted the ship. This could easily be one of the more entertaining games of the week. My Prediction- Boise State 35 BYU 32

****************Big Games For This Week*****************************
#7 Clemson @ #6 Florida State- Only one other game has a change to be bigger, but i don't think it will be. Clemson has rolled all year and with some of their best players being suspended. Florida State has dominated, averaging giving up exactly 1.0 pts per game. This might be a game of the year candidate. My Prediciton- Clemson 34 FSU 33
#9 Kansas State @ #8 Oklahoma- Last Year KSU was on a roll shocking every team they saw till OU put their foot on their neck. But this KSU team is a lot better, and This OU team is a lot worse than the one who crushed them 58-17 last season. The biggest question is, can OU and Landry Jones finally find cohesion with someone not named Ryan Broyles? If they can then this might get ugly. From What i've seen so far this year i say no. My Prediction- KSU 38 OU 28
#22 Michigan @ #13 Notre Dame- No rest for the weary. After stomping the Spartans hopes last week, now they must face another old rival and one that is aching for respect after what Alabama did to them. Last year the Fighting Irish let Robinson score 28pts in the fourth quarter to come back and win 35-31. I'm hoping for a full game of back and forth that we all deserve. My Prediciton- Michigan 38 Notre Dame 35
California @ #15 USC- Cal should have beaten Ohio State last week. USC finally had their biggest weakness exposed (Depth) last week, when one of the smartest lineman in football, center Khaled Holmes can't play, and someone else has to make the line calls, then two running backs go down, you know it just isn't your day. This has been a rivalry for a while, but this one might get ugly if USC is healthy. My Prediction- USC 24 Cal 17
#26 Arizonia @#3 Oregon- Its kind've sad that one of these teams has to lose with the way both are playing such good football right now. If this was in Tuscon, the upset Bunnies would really be hopping. My Prediction- Oregon 55 Arizonia 42
BYU @ Boise State- Both teams have lost key home games which has taken some of the luster out of this game. Boise seems to have righted the ship. This could easily be one of the more entertaining games of the week. My Prediction- Boise State 35 BYU 32

************************Next Weeks Big Games****************************
#2 Alabama at #20 Arkansas- Well Arkansas kind've took some of the luster out of this game by letting UL-Monroe creep back into the game and upset them. But this is still a big matchup. As we have seen in the past Saban seems to know exactly what buttons to push to get his team ready. My Prediction- Alabama 38 Ark 17
#1 USC at #25 Stanford- This one is hard, because i still don't know how good Stanford can be with all the new offensive personel. But i do know this, USC is just too loaded right now on offense and this is just gonna be too much to overcome. My Prediction- USC 49 Stanford 21
#17 Notre Dame at #8 Michigan State- This is an old rivalry, and one that has usually been good in the past. I might be inclinded to give ND the upset if it where a home game. But Bell just may be too much. My Prediction- Michigan State 27 Notre Dame 24
#18 Florida at #28 Tennessee- Just like the previous this is an old rivalry, but this one has a lot more hatred. My biggest problem is who will show up. Tennessee has looked good so far this season, and Florida has been sputtering on offense, and my have lost its best defensive player when All-American candidate Jelani Jenkins broke his arm. My Prediction- Tennessee 24 Florida 22
#24 BYU at Utah- Utah is coming off a major upset loss to instate rival Utah State, now playing their other instate rival BYU. The only thing going for them is that they get to play at home, and pride is on the line. BYU has been playing with more of a spark so far this season than in a while. My Prediction- BYU 31 Utah 21
Navy at Penn State- With all that has gone wrong for Penn State this year, they should be undefeated, depth and unready players being forced to play have done them in so far. Navy has had a week to try and redeem themselves after getting crushed in a turnover plagued game vs Notre Dame in a foreign land. My Prediction- Navy 24 Penn State 19
Utah State at Wisconsin- I've been waiting all season so far for Wisconsin's offense to wake up and start playing, so far they are hanging onto life support. Everyone is surprised that Utah State is 2-0, except for Utah State. They've already walked in an knocked off a Pac-10 rival, can they make it two upsets in a row?
My Prediction- Utah State 31 Wisconsin 26
Texas A&M at SMU- The Aggies are going from almost winning their first ever SEC game at home, to traveling to play on old SWC rival. Johnny Manziel has look outstanding at times, and if they can keep him healthy they may become unstoppable. On the other hand SMU has been unable to stay healthy. My Prediction- Texas A&M 55 SMU 38
UL-Monroe at Auburn- Usually this would not be considered a big game. But you have an 0-2 Auburn going against the team that just went and beat Arkansas in Little Rock. The biggest question is can Frasier finally start getting some consistancy in his passing. If he does, this might be over quick. My Prediction- Auburn 27 UL-Monroe 21

My 2012 NCAA Football Preseason top 30
1. USC Trojans- I look for Barkley, and their juggernaught offense to be hard to even slow down. Depth is their only hurdle.
2. Alabama Crimson Tide- Yeah they are reloading, but most of their backups would start for anyone. Plus they always find a way in the really big games.
3. Georgia Bulldogs- Aaron Murray is looking to go crazy, and no Alab, or LSU on schedule.
4. Oregon Ducks- Nobody reloads at quarterback like the Ducks do, and this freshman might be the best.
5. West Virgina- Might be the most offensively explosive team in College football, now on a big stage with a chance to really compete.
6. LSU Tigers- If Mettenberger is great they could win it all, thats a big if for QB at LSU. With honey-badger in rehab who will make the big plays when it matters?
7. FSU Seminoles- If EJ Manuel can stay healthy, and keep turnovers down, they are playing for it all. Defense is stout, and recruiting is ridiculous.
8. Oklahoma Sooners- Strong Sr Class, but can Landry Jones find someone he can trust to throw it to? Will other Stoops bring back their great defensive attacks?
9. Michigan State-Only question mark in new Quarterback, the rest is very solid. Can Defense win title? Will Bell average 97 carries a game?
10. Clemson Tigers- Explosive team that seems to fade down the stretch, will this year be different?
11. South Carolina Gamecocks- If Lattimore is healthy and gets enough touches watch out. Can Shaw improve?
12. Wisconsin Badgers-Will this years ACC transfer at QB be enough to cover up defensive holes?
13. Michigan Wolverines- Can they win the big game? We will find out quickly. Or is Robinson the best running back playing QB in college football?
14. Arkansas Razorbacks- How will they react with Petrino gone? Everything is solid.
15. KSU Wildcats- Last years surprise team now better, watchout. Only injuries can hold them back.
16. Virginia Tech Hokies- Can Logan Thomas lead them out of ACC? We all know they will at least go to the ACC title game.
17. Ohio State Buckeyes- Urban Meyer, very mobile quarterback enough said.
18. Texas Longhorns- Great Defense, strong backfield, only mediocre Ash holding them back
19. Nebraska Cornhuskers- Have the talent to win the big 10, tough road games will decide
20. Oklahoma State Cowboys- Fr QB’s are always up and down, defense remains a question
21. TCU Horned Frogs- Their world has flipped, finally in a big conference, and offense is carrying them instead of their usual great defenses.
22. Notre Dame Fighting Irish - Is this the year it all comes together? Or is it next year Again
23. Florida Gators- Mushchamp must think he’s still at Texas watching mediocre quarterbacks fall all over themselves to blow the games.
24. Louisville Cardinals- Charlie Strong is building, and Bridgewater might be better. No real obstacles in their schedule. Could still be the only undefeated team not in top 10.
25. SMU Mustangs- Garrett Gilbert gets his chance to go back to an offense more along his speed, if he can be the quarterback he was in highschool this is a top offense
26. Stanford Cardinals- There’s a new sheriff in town at quarterback, but all he has to do is hand off to the stable of running backs.
27. BYU Cougars- Riley Nelson might be the best quarterback on no-ones radar, just like BYU might be one of the better teams on no-one’s radar.
28. Boise State Broncos- Having to replace one of College’s greatest quarterbacks, and best running back from last year always hurts. Look for some early season struggles before ship is righted.
29. Auburn Tigers- Still have a lot of talent, but the SEC is stacked.
30. Washington Huskies- Can Price play his best game every week.
