Gridiron Goddess

There are some interesting goings on in College Football this weekend, Football Fiends.  Besides my Press Pass, there are a number of cool match ups.

South Carolina vs Kentucky should be interesting.  Kentucky almost beat Auburn last weekend. Only a field goal as time expired elevated the Tigers above the Wildcats. South Carolina upset the former #1 and defending national champions Alabama in a stunner of a game. South Carolina might have just a bit of swagger and confidence from that historic win. Kentucky might be just angry enough at last week’s near miss to take it out on the Gamecocks. I am going with South Carolina in my picks, but I would not be surprised if Kentucky pulled this one off.

Both Florida and USC are coming off two losses in a row, something neither program is used to. How it will affect their morale is yet to be seen. Florida faces Mississippi State in an SEC battle.  Both teams are 4-2. Florida is the more talented and should prevail.

Cal is coming into the Coliseum off a big win versus UCLA. USC meets Cal coming off two losses. Five seconds and two plays are all that separate these Trojans from being undefeated. Cal QB Kevin Reilly is not the most impressive of passers which is good news for USC’s weak against the pass defense. This will be a GAME, it almost always is when Cal and USC face off. I expect USC to pull the win out here to head into their bye week before facing the dreaded Ducks of Oregon on October 30th.

Oregon State, fresh off an upset of Arizona, heads into its game versus Washington with a curiously small point-spread of -1.5.  James Rodgers is out for the Beavers – he blew his knee out. But Jacquizz is still there, and we all know how devastatingly quick and wily he can be against defenses. This is the Pac-1o and it is a competitive conference, but Oregon State is a team on the verge of greatness while Washington is a decent team that gets lucky.  In my opinion, of course.

Now, onto my picks for week 7:

USC over Cal

Miami over Duke

Pitt over Syracuse

Georgia over Vandy

South Carolina over Kentucky

Florida over Mississippi State

Alabama over Ole Miss

Oklahoma over Iowa State

FSU over BC

Iowa over Michigan

Oregon State over Washington

Arizona over Washington State

Texas A&M over Missouri

Recap 9-7

Football Fiends,

I am not sure if, in the entire history of Gridiron Goddess, I’ve ever actually said that USC will lose and then actively picked the other team to win. Usually I would just avoid picking that game. Not this week. Coach Kiffin said it himself: “This is not the same SC.”  I am slowly coming to terms with that. It doesn’t mean I love my Trojans any less. I am and always will be proud to be a Trojan.
