Sorry, due to a hectic school schedule I was late getting this done and I wasn’t able to break down all the games. I’ll try to get it done earlier next week and post a decent break down for each game.
Central Michigan at No. 2 Georgia
Breakdown
Even if Moreno is unable to play in this game the Bulldogs shouldn’t be hurt much. Freshman Caleb King ran for almost 100 yards last week and should see a lot of action again against the Chippewas. Although the Chippewas are severely outclassed, they are not without threats. QB Dan LeFevour’s career rating is over 140 and he has completed more than 64% of his passes. He’ll most likely get a chance to play on Sundays in the future at being up against the #2 team in the country is a stage on which he’d like to shine. All that being said I still think Georgia will win. Maybe not by a huge margin but look for the Bulldogs to pull it out.
Pwndy’s Pick
Georgia by a couple of TDs
Ohio at No. 3 Ohio State
Breakdown
No need for a breakdown here…
Pwndy’s Pick
OSU in a major blowout
Cincinnati at No. 4 Oklahoma
Breakdown
Cincy isn’t a bad team but they don’t compare to the Sooners either offensively or defensively.
Pwndy’s Pick
The Sooners win big
Miami (FL) at No. 5 Florida
Breakdown
Florida is now the top dog in the state and Miami is not looking good.
Pwndy’s Pick
Gators win big
Southeast Missouri State at No. 6 Missouri
Breakdown
No need for a breakdown here…
Pwndy’s Pick
Mizzou wins big
No. 8 West Virginia at East Carolina
Breakdown
This is an interesting game and though I’d like to pick ECU to repeat last week’s upset I don’t see it happening.
Pwndy’s Pick
Mountaineers win by two or three TDs.
Southern Miss at No. 9 Auburn
Breakdown
Auburn’s offense has been struggling while their defense is strong. That strength will get a test as the Golden Eagles roll into the Plains with a potent offense.
Pwndy’s Pick
Auburn should win this though not as big as their fans would like
No. 10 Texas at UTEP
Breakdown
No need for a breakdown here…
Pwndy’s Pick
Texas will romp over the Miners
Marshall at No. 11 Wisconsin
Breakdown
Badgers are a tough team while Marshall is a couple of years away from being a good mid-major again.
Pwndy’s Pick
Wisconsin runs to victory by three TDs.
No. 12 Texas Tech at Nevada
Breakdown
Mike Leech will throw the ball all over Nevada. Look for Harrell and Crabtree to have a great time breaking in the Wolfpack’s new defensive scheme.
Pwndy’s Pick
Red Raiders win big
Tulane at No. 13 Alabama
Breakdown
No need for a breakdown here…
Pwndy’s Pick
Crimson Tide build on their big upset last week by blowing out a bad Green Wave team.
Louisiana Tech at No. 14 Kansas
Breakdown
Though I’d like to see the Bulldogs pull off another upset I don’t see it happening against the Jayhawks.
Pwndy’s Pick
Kansas wins by twenty
Stanford at No. 15 Arizona State
Breakdown
The Sun Devils want to prove they are worthy of challenging USC at the top of the PAC 10, to do it they need to defeat the team that pulled off a miracle in upsetting the Trojans last season.
Pwndy’s Pick
Arizona State in a blowout
No. 15 Brigham Young at Washington
Breakdown
Jake Locker and Ty Willingham need this win, one to prove he’s a big time QB and the other to keep his job. BYU needs to win this game to keep their BCS Buster hopes alive.
Pwndy’s Pick
BYU wins a close game
No. 17 South Florida at UCF
Breakdown
South Florida wants to continue their success of last season but the UCF Knights stand in their way.
Pwndy’s Pick
UCF in a close upset
Utah State at No. 18 Oregon
Breakdown
Oregon wishes they still had Dennis Dixon but they shouldn’t need him for this game.
Pwndy’s Pick
Oregon wins big
Oregon State at No. 19 Penn State
Breakdown
The Beavers just aren’t a very formidable foe for Joe Pa and Happy Valley.
Pwndy’s Pick
Joe Pa doesn’t need his pot smoking players as the Lions roll in this game.
Mississippi at No. 20 Wake Forest
Breakdown
Houston Nutt has his hands full with this non-conference opponent. Wake has a very good team who is going to contend for the ACC title and should give Ole Miss a run for their money. The Rebels have a good QB in Jevan Snead and some good WRs but are not very good at scoring the ball. Their defense should be better than their 88th ranking last year. Wake Forest has an extremely efficient QB in Riley Skinner who led the nation with 72.4% completion ratio. The Demon Deacon’s defense was pretty good last year and should be much better this season as they return 9 starters. Look for Wake to have success in throwing the ball and shutting down Ole Miss’ offense with their efficient 3-4 defense.
Pwndy’s Pick
Wake wins a close one
UNLV at No. 22 Utah
Breakdown
Utah proved they were a force to reckon with in beating Michigan last week and look to continue that.
Pwndy’s Pick
Utes win big
No. 24 South Carolina at Vanderbilt
Breakdown
Steve Spurrier has announced that Chris Smelley will be the starter at QB against Vanderbilt based on his performance in last week’s game. The Commodores actually have the edge at quarterback with Chris Nickson who is solid throwing the ball but a real threat running. If Vandy can keep Smelley under pressure by busting through a very porous O-line you could see the first back to back wins over an SEC school for them in a long time. SC’s defense was really the star of last week’s game and kept the focus off of their offensive struggles. Expect this to be a very low scoring game; first team with three touchdowns wins.
Pwndy’s Pick
I have a feeling that SC’s defense isn’t gonna be able to stop Nickson.
Vandy wins in an upset.
*note I had this pick done BEFORE the game on Thursday
Eastern Illinois at No. 24 Illinois
Breakdown
Juice Williams and his running mates get to take out their frustration of losing their opener on the helpless Panthers.
Pwndy’s Pick
Lots of points scored in this game…all for the Illini
