5 for Saturday

1-4 last week and I am in a tailspin as bad as Michigan football.  21-23-1 on the season now. 

Georgia Tech (+13.5) @ Virginia Tech 7:30 Thursday ESPN

I would guess this game is close based on the run game of Georiga Tech and a chained up offense of Va Tech.

Baylor (+7.5) @ Oklahoma St. 12:30 FSN Saturday

Maybe Baylor isn't ready for prime time but Oklahoma State isn't exactly a dominating team either.  Robert Griffin III will keep this close.

TCU (-5) @ Utah 3:30 CSTV

One team will finally lose all the hype in the polls they have gotten.  For the record, both these teams have had better programs than Boise St and would be far more deserving than Boise St. in the event a mid major goes to the title game.  Having said that, come year end no mid major will have done enough to deserve a title game appearance.

Alabama (-6) @ LSU 3:30 CBS

Bama still has Mythical National Championship hopes in mind.  LSU has come along on offense a little bit but they should struggle to get to 17 points in this game.  An LSU win would leave Auburn as the only hope for another SEC MNC.

Arizona @ Stanford (-9.5) 8 ABC/ Gameplan

There is public overeaction to this line but I still like Stanford here.  They are the better team by a touchdown and are playing at home.  That should make up 10 points.
