College Football Ping.
Freepmail me to be added to this list.
Sorry I jacked up my formatting a bit at the top. Should be another great weekend of college football.

BYU 32 – Utah 17
HA! 4 in a row for my Utes, soon to make it 5.
well my picks haven't exactly been the greatest the past couple weeks, so you may well be correct :)
Don't feel too bad, I won't rub it in to you should we win, that's what Cougars are for. :)
It's ok :)
I don't pick for or against teams because I like them or hate them. You know that...
San Diego State sucks. And I'm not just saying that in a "I'm immature and drunk, you suck we rule!" kind of way (I was thinking more along the lines of a 2-8 overall record kind of way). UNM has to win this game to get bowl eligible--which in this case they'll stay home and play in the inagural New Mexico Bowl.
I also am certain that folks in the Cowboy State are going to be pretty big Aztec fans come Saturday also, since a UNM loss would guarantee Wyoming a bowl bid.
But anyway, I agree, the Lobos pull this one out.
Yeah I think so...
San Diego State hasn't found a way to replace Marshall Faulk yet.
FWIW, Arkansas is 20-1 in Little Rock under Houston Nutt (where the LSU game will be played), including 3-1 against LSU. Arkansas is almost always an underdog to LSU (it's pick-em this year, with Arkansas at home, and with the higher ranking).
Do you know what the line is on Nebraska and Colorado?
You'll have to give me some of your insight into this one. Hawai'i is playing very well over the past month and a half and I haven't seen Purdue at all this year. Colt Brennan and the 'Bows O along with the game being on the islands seems like it would be an easier W for them than people think.
A Utah man, sir!
Nebraska by 14
Sure but while Purdue hasn't exactly stopped anyone with a pulse, they did hold Notre Dame under 50.
I think they will hang with Hawaii, being that Purdue will be the more physical team for a change.
That and there's nothing wrong with Purdue's offense.
Thanks.
GO BIG RED!
I think they have a good chance of covering that one.
Oh, is this going to be a barn burner. There are so many subplots and backstories to this game, I don't know where to begin. So I'll start with BSU's running back Ian Johnson being cleared to play in this one despite the fact he was in a San Jose hospital after the San Jose State game with a partially collapsed lung.
Johnson is going to have a big game because Nevada's defense (which they use a 3-4 as a base D) isn't really geared to stopping the run. Nevada won't roll over for BSU though. If Chris Ault can keep his players from running their mouths--like they did last year before the BSU game--I think Nevada stands a very good chance to win this game.
Unfortunately, this is Boise State's year IMO and I think they'll win this game, though it will come down to the final seconds.
Sure hope you are correct about Boise State.
I don't know how effective Ian Johnson will be...
He's a stud though, for playing just after a collapsed freaking lung.
