We're still alive TNG Nation! Let's get right to the picks...

Michigan State +7 vs. Wisconsin
ESPN College Gameday is in East Lansing this weekend and so am I. Wiscy comes in undefeated, while the Spartans are riding high after a big win over Michigan. This will be the Badgers biggest test, but they are still favored on the road. MSU’s defense has been playing at a high level and the running game is controlling the ball on offense. Wisconsin’s Russell Wilson is a legit Heisman contender and MSU’s William Ghoulston is suspended for the game, but I see a Spartan victory under the lights. Take MSU and the points.
Western Michigan -12 @ Eastern Michigan
The Broncos are still stinging from the beat down they received in DeKalb last weekend. Unfortunately, I was there to witness it. Expect Coach Cubit to have the offense throwing the ball all over the field. Coach English has the Eagles playing much better this year and QB Alex Gillett is a threat. That being said, WMU will be too much for EMU and cover the spread.
Clemson -10 vs. North Carolina
Clemson is 7-0 and believes they are a BCS contender. QB Tajh Boyd has been terrorizing defenses, throwing for 2000+ yards and 19 TDs this season. The Tiger defense is on notice though after giving up 5 TDs to the Maryland offense last week. UNC comes in at 5-2, but has struggled in ACC play so far. The ‘Heels lost to Miami last week. Expect a good game and Clemson to move to 8-0, but take UNC and the points.
Miami (FL) -3 vs. Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech inexplicably dropped their first game of the season at Virginia last week, while Miami knocked off UNC. QB Tevin Washington had a good game on the ground, but only completed 2 of 8 passes against the Cavaliers. The Hurricanes have been largely inconsistent all season, having not won two games in a row. Expect a different Tevin Washington to show up for the ‘Jackets and for Miami’s streak of not wining two games in a row to continue. Take Georgia Tech and the points.

USC @ Notre Dame -9
Against competent offenses this season, USC has looked terrible. In frigid temps Saturday evening in South Bend, the boys from SoCal might be run over. Notre Dame is one of the most accomplished offenses in the country this year, and although USC's run-pass combo has steadied, Matt Barkley will have a hard time slinging the ball Saturday. ND covers.
Utah @ Cal -1.5
After scoring just 9 last week against USC, it's become painfully apparent that Cal cannot run the ball. Utah has a stout defense but very little offense. This becomes a slugfest, and Utah beats the spread in San Francisco.
Washington @ Stanford -20
Stanford has racked up impressive numbers this season playing exactly no one. U-Dub has been tested against the likes of Nebraska and Keith Price is running a high powered offebse. That said, Cardinal QB Andrew Luck is destroying defenses. Stanford will win, but Washington beats the spread.
Oklahoma State -6.5 @ Mizzou
OSU is on a tear that doesn't look to stop against Mizzou, which has a stingy defense and top tier running game. It won't be enough to stop the Cowboys high-octane offense. OSU covers.
Season Standings:
Kyle - 15-11-2
