Week 1 of the college football season ended with a bang as Tennessee lost to UCLA in overtime but by far the most important thing that happened in week one was the injury of Heisman hopeful Beanie Wells. Week 2 of the season for me will be does Beanie play but I guess there are some other games on. So in the comments tell me what you'll be watching this week, who'd look good in Bengals stripes and anything else you're thinking about college football this week. Below the fold is a list of the games that are on TV this weekend and my top ten.
This weeks games:
Thursday
South Carolina @ Vandy 8pm espn- Coach Spurrier is already on his second QB of the sesaon as Chris Smelley get the start. It'll be interesting if SC can get revenge from their loss last year to Vandy. Pick- SC
Friday
Navy @ Ball State 7pm espn- Navy's option attacks looks to dominate while BAll STate looks to air it out. This should be a high scoring affair. Pick-BSU
Saturday
OU @ OSU 12pm espn- in this battle of Ohio fans will rejoice as TP will see the field once again. Pick- OSU
Miami (OH) @ Michigan 12pm espn2- this game held no value to me until Michigan crapped the bed last week against UTah. Now I just want to see how low coach Dick Rod can reach before heading into battle next week against ND. Pick- UM
BYU @ Washington 3pm (TV?)- this game looks to be a good one as BYU hopes to make some headlines against a BCS school. Coach Willingham's seat will be on fire if UW loses this. Pick-BYU
UC @ Oklahoma 3:30pm ABC- Can DT Byrd bounce back from his suspension and get in the backfield against the best O-line in the country. I think UC can keep it close but there is no way they pull this one off. Pick- OU
Oregon St @ Penn St 3:30pm ABC- Penn St looks to prove that the spread HD is the real deal. OSU looks to put last weeks loss to Stanford behind them. Pick- PSU
Miami (FL) @ Florida 8pm espn- The Canes are starting QB Robert Marve in his first start ever in a night game in the swamp. I don't like Miami's chances. Look for Urban to run up the score since he has absolutely no class. Pick- UF
Record for picks on the season: 12-4
My top ten
10)LSU 9) Wisc. 8) Auburn 7)WVU 6) Mizzou 5) Georgia 4) Oklahoma 3) Ohio St 2) Florida 1) USC
Ummmmm... Pretty sure you forgot to post something about the SMU Mustangs vs. Texas State Bobcats game on Saturday... It's cool though. Bo Levi Mitchell is going to run and shoot all over their a$$es in Ford Stadium.
June's not a month anymore... It's an Era.

June: it's not the beginning of summer...it's the beginning of a dynasty.
I hope the whole city of Cincinnati rallies around the Bearcats versus Oklahoma. What a huge game for the program. I just checked out the campus for the first time in awhile and it is a really remarkable transformation from just ten years ago. It would be a great if the football team can match the improvements to the school and city.
Also, Beanie Wells will not play according to ESPN. But they are retards. So who knows.

You forgot UK vs. Norfolk state, who is coming to town on Saturday. What a doozy that one will be.
You have to admit that the D looked strong, surprisingly strong, in our route of Louserville.
