Week two NCAA picks

Im in midseason form in terms of picking games. Last week I went 11-1 in picking Big Ten games, 13-2 overall. This is just the preaseason of picking games however, the real record Im keeping track of this year is picking games between two big ten teams, which starts September 27th. Pretty much every team in the Big ten has a tougher opponent this week than last week, as most play a BCS school. Lets get right into it.

New Hampshire at Minnesota: The Gophers won in overtime last week, and now face an FCS opponent, so a 2-0 is a legitimate possibility for this team. Theyre still in for a rough season, but for now they can feel good about back to back wins. Pick: Minnesota

UCF at Ohio St: Ill be cheering hard for Central Florida to take this one, and I do think they have a legitimate chance. I cant bring myself to pick them though, not in Columbus. Pick: Ohio St

Penn St at Virginia: Im not going to be fooled again, the Nittany Lions have a terrible offense, and wont be able to get a win on the road against a BCS team. Pick: Virginia

Purdue at Notre Dame: Purdue looked good in their opener, and Notre Dame has been known to lose home games as favorites early in the season the past few years. It will be close but Ill take the Irish. Pick: Notre Dame

Indiana at Massachusetts: I dont know a whole lot about Massachusetts, but I do a lot about Indiana, I know they are a terrible football team. They nearly lost to an FCS school last week, their next win wont be until next September at the earliest. Pick: Massachusetts

Air Force at Michigan: I told you last week, Michigan was very overrated coming into the year. After last week they are now ranked 19, which I think is much more appropriate. Since this game is in Ann Arbor, Ill give Michigan the nod to even their record. Pick: Michigan

Michigan St at Central Michigan: The Spartans looked like the best team in the Big ten last week, and moved ahead of Michigan and Wisconsin in the lastest poll to now be ranked as the highest team in the Big ten. They also have a easy win this week, so Sparty keeps rolling. Pick: Michigan st

Iowa St at Iowa: The cyclones beat Iowa last year, but the game takes place at Kinnick stadium this year, so Ill give Iowa the slight edge in this rivalry. Pick: Iowa

Nebraska at UCLA: Even though Michigan st looked like the best conference team last week, Nebraska put out the most dominating performance, amassing over 500 yards of offense, and a big showing from the defense. The Big ten is 6-30 on the road against the Pac-10 (Pac-12) in the past 22 years. I think theyll go 3-0 in those games this week, and this is the first. Pick: Nebraska

Vanderbilt at Northwestern: Both these teams played week one thrillers, and I think this will be a very close game. Maybe Im reading to much into the fact that Vandy almost beat a top ten team last week, but I was impressed and for that reason Im picking them here. Pick_ vanderbilt

Illinois at Arizona St: Another big ten at pac 12 game. This is probably my boldest pick of the season so far, but Im taking the Illini in a upset on the road. Pick: Illinois

Outside the Big ten

Georgia at Missouri: Pick: Georgia

Florida at Texas A&M: pick: Florida

Pittsburgh at Cincinatti: Pick: Cincinatti
