Here's who I like in today's NCAA football action:
- Alabama -9 over Texas A&M. This could be a close game but if given the chance Nick Saban will put down the hammer on A&M. I think the Tide wins by 2 TD's.
- South Carolina -13.5 over Vandy. As long as this stays at less than 14 points I like this game. Spurrier seems good at running up the score after losses.
I also like BC getting +15 against USC. This may because I'm a BC fan but you may want to look at BC as a team to tease or bet outright.
EDIT: MY PICKS SUCK!

Georgia and South Carolina Perspective
Russia recently invaded Georgia but I'm guessing that most Americans couldn't find Georgia on a map if you spotted them the continent.
Georgia (the country) is just slightly smaller than our State of South Carolina. Just like South Carolina - Georgia (the country) is almost triangle shaped with a fairly long coastal region on one end and mountains on the other.
Georgia (the country) has about 4.6 million residents and a democratically elected government. South Carolina has about 4.3 million residents and also a democratically elected government.
If a police officer in South Carolina uses excessive force then that makes national news and there is a hue and cry. The whole country of Georgia was just subjected to much more than excessive force and the international community was for the most part quiet.

Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
I give all the credit in the world to Vanderbilt for its 17-6 victory over South Carolina but I also have to think that with Kentucky beating LSU - then the Gamecocks may have gone into this game a bit too cocky and maybe looking ahead of the Commodores because they had handled Kentucky pretty easily. Pride goeth before a fall... Dumbledore was gay? Richard Harris went his whole career without playing a gay character, always the man's man. Now I find nothing wrong with Rowling saying she wrote Dumbledore as a gay character but my first thought was to wonder if Harris knew this before hand if he would have accepted the role. And if Harris turned down the role - then we could have all been spared the awful Michael Gambon taking over as Dumbledore after Harris' death... Lyford has the stats to back up a point I made before Game 1 vs the Indians - if the Cy Young voters waited till after the playoffs there's no way CC Sabathia would be close to Josh Beckett in Cy Young voting. It should be noted that over the last 12 years only two players have won the Cy Young award and have also had their team win the World Series. That was Randy Johnson in 2001 and Greg Maddux in 1995.... Just saying but 5-2 Clemson has outscored their opponents by 107 points so far this season but in the 4 games vs ACC teams they have scored 92 points and given up 92 points. I think you could say Clemson likes to pad the stats versus out of conference teams...
