NCAA Football Picks Week 2

NCAAF Game Picks

-Friday Sept. 10th-

#19Missouri (1-0) @ #23Arizona State (1-0)
Both teams played inferior opponents last week and this will be the first real test for each. Missouri, however, has more trouble in their first game and will need to play much better to win on the road. I see ASU's defense being too much for Missouri's offense that looked out of sync last week. Big game for the PAC-12.
Missouri 19, Arizona State 27


-Saturday Sept. 10th-

#16Mississippi State (1-0) @ Auburn (1-0), 9:20am
Everyone will be picking Mississippi State after Auburn struggles at home against lowly Utah St. but I think this one will be closer than many think. Expect QB Chris Relf and back Vic Ballard to be the difference for the Bulldogs.
Mississippi State 31, Auburn 27

#2Alabama (1-0) @ #23Penn State (1-0), 12:30pm ABC
On paper, Penn State really has no business beating the Crimson Tide but maybe facing a young opposing Quarterback and home-field advantage will help the Nittany Lions keep it close for awhile.
Alabama 23, Penn St. 13

Nevada (0-0) @ #14Oregon (0-1), 12:30pm FX
The Ducks might start slow but don't expect this one to be a game in the 4th quarter.
Oregon 49, Nevada, 13

BYU (1-0) @ #24Texas (1-0), 4:30pm
BYU had a solid win on the road against an SEC team last week but I see them as just not having the athletes to win this game in Austin.
BYU 20, Texas 28

Utah (1-0) @ USC (1-0), 4:30pm
Neither of these teams looked particularly good last week so with little to go off in week 1, I have to pick USC. I expect both teams to play better but for USC to outlast one of the PAC-12's newest members.
Utah 24, USC 30

Notre Dame (0-1) @ Michigan (1-0), 5pm ABC
Notre Dame didn't look good last week but in all reality, they did not play terrible football. I think Notre Dame is too explosive to lose this game. The Fighting Irish start to point their season in the right direction.
Notre Dame 38, Michigan 24
