College Football Picks, Thanksgiving

9-6 last week means 88-41 for the season so far. With all the rivalry games, I might make 100 points this week. Lets get right to the picks

Game of the week - Oklahoma St. vs Oklahoma
Oklahoma is known to some as Chokelahoma because of their big game collapses lately, but if that collapse is coming, it will be in the Big 12 Title game. Oklahoma is just too good for Oklahoma St. right now. The Cowboys are one year away from being true title contenders with all of the skill guys and a good chunk of moth lines back next season.
Oklahoma 49, Oklahoma St. 28

Florida St. vs Florida
Florida has been destroying team after team after team since losing to Ole Miss. That won't happen here. The Gators very well might lose to the Seminoles in their first really big road game against a quality opponent (Tennessee doesn't count this season, even early on). The Gators will be in a tight game against the best defense they have played, but Florida St. is a year away from being able to win this type of game (like Oklahoma St.).
Florida 34, Florida St. 24

Alabama vs Auburn
With the six straight losses to Auburn, Alabama will be focused. On the other side, Auburn has started to look better and I think they really might win since Alabama is due for a total clunker of a game (remember that Saban's 2003 title team at LSU lost to one of the worst Florida teams in recent memory, at home) and the Auburn defense is good, but I can't make the pick. I would look too much like a homer if I did and Alabama is the better team that would win this 90% of the time.
Alabama 14, Auburn 10

Virginia vs Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech owns Virginia in this series right now and nothing will change here. Hokies are headed to the ACC Title game.
Virginia Tech 21, Virginia 13

Georgia vs Georgia Tech
Upset alert. Georgia Tech hasn't won this game in quite some time while Georgia is basically playing out the string with none of its season goals left to play for (National Title, SEC Title, BCS Bowl) unless something bizarre happens to Alabama or Florida this week, and even if one of those happens, the games for both of them kickoff after Georgia is done. That's the long way of saying Georgia Tech is more motivated and will win this game.
Georgia Tech 20, Georgia 14

Oregon St. vs Oregon
The Rose Bowl is on the line of Oregon St. They are playing at home. Everything looks great and I think everything will stay great. If all that happened in Arizona last week didn't beat these guys, Oregon with its average team that beat who it was supposed to and nobody else isn't going to beat these guys in Corvallis, even without Jaquizz Rodgers.
Oregon St. 27, Oregon 21

Boston College vs Maryland
Boston College is dead. Buried. Done for. For one thing, their quarterback is hurt. That isn't the major reason though. The major reason is that they play in the ACC, are ranked, and control their own destiny. If you play in the ACC and control your own destiny, you are screwed this season. You are even more screwed if Maryland is involved in the game considering the Terps have lost three times this season while ranked and controlling its own destiny and clubbed four ranked teams without losing, all while unranked.
Maryland 24, Boston College 17

USC vs Notre Dame
The only saving grace for Charlie Weis is that the USC offense looks capable of hanging big numbers only against the Washington schools and early season non-conference opponents. Since the Notre Dame game is late in the season, USC will simply smother them with defense on the way to an easy win.
USC 24, Notre Dame 0

Cincinnati vs Syracuse
Cincinnati is going for the BCS while Syracuse authored quite the big win for fired coach Greg Robinson last week. This week, its back to reality as Cincinnati heads to the Orange Bowl to face the ACC Champ in the worst BCS bowl matchup ever, yes even worse than the Pittsburgh-Utah debacle in 2004 and worse than the Florida St.-Miami rematch in 2003.
Cincinnati 37, Syracuse 21

Pittsburgh vs West Virginia
Pittsburgh is done in the Big East race, yet they are still ranked despite losing to Bowling Green, Cincinnati, and Rutgers. As least West Virginia lost to one program with a decent reputation (Colorado), even if that team is down. Pat White will author some revenge for last season's upset loss and Wannstache enters next season on a flaming hotseat.
West Virginia 35, Pittsburgh 10

North Carolina 31, Duke 16
Nebraska 34, Colorado 14
Texas 45, Texas A&M 14
Ole Miss 22, Mississippi St. 10
LSU 26, Arkansas 20
Clemson 27, South Carolina 17
Missouri 45, Kansas 20
Tennessee 21, Kentucky 20
