Week Two College Football

Off to a decent start in college football picks as I started out getting all nine correct.  Week two has a couple of really good  matchups.

ECU travels to Columbia to take on Carolina the southern branch.  Hard to tell whether the Cocks are good or not after the licking they got last week.  Same for the a Pirates are they as good as last weeks winning score. SC 35 Pirates 27

Stevenson at NC W.  Fighting Bishops fought hard last season at Stevenson and I think being home just might do the trick.  NCW 23 Stevenson 17

ODU is fairly new to D1 football but they are fully loaded with scholarship players.  Pack will win second game of the season in another high scoring game N C ST 41 ODU 27

The ACC game of the week has Pitt traveling to BC.  Pitt should handle the Eagles.  Pitt 35 BC 21

Georgia Tech who didn't impress last week travels to New Orleans to take on Tulane a double overtime loser to Tulsa last week.  Georgia Tech will sneak this one out 27-24.

South Carolina State at Clemson. Bad week to visit Clemson the week after Todd Gurley  destroyed the Tigers.  Clemson 45 SCST 16

Richmond at Virginia.  I don't think UVA did that bad against UCLA considering they were down 21-0 and  the UCLA defense had done all the scoring. UVA 31 Richmond 17


Wake Forest had no offense against Louisiana Monroe.  Can they score on Gardner Webb.  The answer is enough 24-17.

Murray State at Louisville.  Louisville is in a short week and that may make this a closer game.  Louisville 45 Murray St 31

Duke heads to Troy where this could be interesting game. The interesting part will be if Duke puts 50 on the board again. Troy was blitzed by Alabama last week.  That's Birmingham not the real Alabama. Duke 44 Troy 17.

Florida A and M at Miami. The only question in this game is whether the A and M band Performs at the half.  Hurricanes 56 A and M 24.

The Citadel at Florida St.  I wonder whether Vegas put a spread on this game.  FSU 56  Cit 7.

UNC host San Diego St and the Aztecs can score.  This will be a high scoring affair.  Heels 42 SDST 31.

Virginia Tech at Ohio  St.  Here is another chance for the ACC to beat a profile school to help the image of the ACC.  This could be a close game since the Buckeyes lost their starting QB.  It will not help enough. Ohio St 27 VAT 22.
