Who’s ready for another weekend of college football?

I know I am, especially after how last weekend went for my Miami Hurricanes getting a huge 48-33 win over No. 23 Texas A&M to take us to a 2-0 start this season. That was a pick I was happy to get wrong, not that I needed it anyways considering I had a fly 21-2 record with my Week 2 predictions.

The other pick that I got wrong was the game between No. 11 Texas and No. 3 Alabama, with the Crimson Tide getting upset by the Longhorns, 34-24 (I’ll forgive myself for this one). While on the flip side, I had the Washington State upset over No. 19 Wisconsin.

Needless to say, it was a grade A week for me, and I’m ready to take this momentum into Week 3.

And speaking of Week 3, what’s the forecast this weekend?

In terms of heavyweight matches, we don’t have any, but we do have some intriguing games to keep an eye on with my biggest four being the in-state rivalry between Deion Sanders’ Colorado and Colorado State, the two SEC battles between Tennessee-Florida and LSU-Mississippi State, and then we have Washington at Michigan State with the scandal surrounding Spartans head coach Mel Tucker.

Not the biggest week in terms of entertainment, but it’s college football regardless, and here’s who I got for the victory!
