UTAH +1.5 over California-----Utah was -4 TO in losing to Washington and then -5 TO in losing to Arizona State. Then their luck changed last game when they upset Pittsburgh. Their blowout of BYU came with a +5 victory on the turnover ratio. It seems that if they get moderately good luck---and their luck looks to be shifting-----they can be pretty good. Cal does not look to be a strong team this year; they actually won the TO ratio by 2 in their Loss to Washington. The recent earthquake in Berkeley......well, I have only 1 entry in my data bank on this factor type: I remember the Washington Nationals losing a couple games to Arizona immediately AFTER the Virginia-DC quake this summer.(Lose 34-10........-4 TO for Utah; an utter disaster of bad luck and failure)

WASHINGTON +21(-120) over Stanford----------3 years of revenge motivation for Washington.....they're an improved team with a new QB who is doing good(remember the great win by Ball State at Ohio last week with 'Keith' at QB)........Foxy Knoxy has been liberated(the week before the Seahawks beat the Giants in New York as big underdogs). Stanford has covered all their games but Arizona beat UCLA harder than Stanford beat UCLA. Stanford's good but Washington will probably the best team they've faced this year.(Lose 65-21........You don't have to win this game, Washington. Just don't allow more than 41 points! Washington coach Steve Sarkisian===FAILURE. Tried to give this team, school and state another chance after the homicidal failure of October 13th, 2007's Washington collapse at Arizona State. What a waste of my fucking money.)

NOTRE DAME -3 over Southern Cal teased with WISCONSIN -2 over Michigan State------ND is home off the bye and, despite bad luck against Michigan and South Florida, is pretty good at outgaining its opponents. Usc......not up to its usual standard this year altho they do have the revenge. Wisconsin has the revenge on the road and.......Nick Toon IN, dirty-player Gholston OUT...........(Lose by 17 and 8........it wouldn't have mattered with Wisconsin's collapse against MSU, but how does Notre Dame get outgained by 180 yards at home off a bye week? Wheres the preparation? Wheres the coaching skills? Trojans get a lucky +3 TO here, win the game, and there's an earthquake today at the site of ancient Troy.....Hmmm. Notre Dame's luck is highly vulnerable(and I guess, variable, if they somehow beat Michigan State) and they are not a bettable team.)

WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS -3 over Oregon State------Oregon State lost off their bye week to a pretty weak UCLA team and they seem to have injuries. WSU seems to have a pretty good QB(Lose 44-21...........You've gotta be kidding me. Washington sucks......Washington state sucks and has a HORRIBLE QB. What a sick, disgusting pick: Both Washington teams fail to cover by more than 20 points on the same day???? I thought 2008 and 2009 were over and done with. Its gotta be the name; look at Tevin Washington's Georgia Tech: a 14 point FTC and a loss to Miami. WASHINGTON---Losers, failures, Untouchable Caste.....garbage level, heinous)

CLEMSON -10 over North Carolina-------#10 Dorian Graham HUGE kick return TD in a HUGE win for the Syracuse ORANGE. Clemson has the home revenge here with the #10 at QB and has outgained all its opponents(tho they did have some trouble with Maryland last week) in ORANGE(see Chris Berman's tie yesterday on the baseball diamond). NC has lost by 7 to Miami and Georgia Tech.(Win 59-38...........Clemson +5 TO)
