UCLA at Arizona
Arizona lucks out this week. No, not because it has a chance to win, but because Southern Methodist has a bye week, which means that SMU has no chance of putting up a lot of points and beating UA in their fierce "Worst offense in the nation" race. UCLA's Tyler Ebell has five straight 100-yard rushing games. Make that six.

No. 1 Miami at Tennessee
You want to know how weak of a schedule Miami plays? It's won 30 in a row, and is still not No. 1 in all the polls. The ĪCanes could go undefeated and not make the Fiesta Bowl. They almost lost to Rutgers last week. That's Rutgers, the team that averages the third-least points per game in the nation ÷ one spot ahead of UA.
Miami 38 Tennessee 20
No. 9 USC at Stanford
Cardinal QB Kyle Matter's first name might as well be "It doesn't," because whatever he does, the USC defense will be too much for Stanford. Stanford fans should be smart enough to go check out · I mean watch Logan Tom and the volleyball team play UA and ASU this weekend at Maples, instead of this debacle.

So Onterrio Smith is thinking about going pro. Well, with his rap sheet and two children, he's definitely got the pedigree. He's got the stats, too, but this guy has faced more easy Ds than Hugh Hefner. Speaking of bad defenses, I hope the UO secondary lined those ass-ugly uniforms with asbestos to prepare for Jason Gesser and the WSU passing attack.

All I can say is that Pima could beat UA. As for UCLA, I never thought I would see the day that Bruin tight end Blane Kezirian would catch a pass and score a touchdown. Well, I will finally get my chance as Kezirian will see the end zone and his father will finally be able to wave his crazy towel in honor of his son.

No. 1 Miami at Tennessee
The worst thing for Tennessee happened on Monday: Miami was ranked third in the BCS and it dropped to second in the writer's poll. The Hurricanes will be an angry bunch looking to destroy any team in their way of winning a second straight National Championship. Miami wins in a laugher and regains its spot in the BCS race.

No. 9 USC at Stanford
USC might not win the Pac-10, but if it wins out it will be BCS bound. Carson Palmer is salivating at the opportunity to go against the pitiful Stanford defense. The only team the Cardinal shut down was the Wildcats and that does not say much when you hold a team that resembles my high school football team to six points.
USC 48 Stanford 10
No. 15 Oregon at No. 5 Washington St.
I thought this would be one of the best games of the year, but Oregon's defense is atrocious. The Ducks' defense actually gave up two touchdowns to the Wildcats (I don't think UA has scored since). WSU will come out and scorch the Trojans the same way they did last week and secure at worse a bid to the Rose Bowl.

UCLA at Arizona
When Wilbur gets up and does those one-handed push-ups, he makes the UA quarterback ÷ that really hot one, Jason I think his name is ÷ look super weak. I go to all the games, but I go because everyone else goes and it is definitely the Saturday night thing to do, plus it's a great way to meet guys. Go Cats!
Arizona 16 UCLA 10
No. 1 Miami at Tennessee
Everyone reading this is, like, thinking why a dumb blonde girl is writing staff picks and I'm, like, wondering the same thing because when I think of Florida, like Miami, Fla., all I think about is Disney World and Spring Break, not football. But whatever, Miami attracts a lot of hot guys including Mickey Mouse, more than Tennessee anyway. Go Miami!
Miami 24 Tennessee 20
No. 9 USC at Stanford
Last year, I went to visit my best friend at USC and they, like, really know how to throw a party. From what I remember, they really showed me a great time. And Stanford is such a nerdy school that the big muscular USC players are sure to squash them. They totally deserve to win.

No. 15 Oregon at No. 5 Washington St.
I'll admit it, I may not know much about football; but, like, I do have a sense of fashion ÷ all sorority girls do. He he. Like, why doesn't Oregon change their colors? Green and yellow just doesn't look as good on football players' butts as Washington State's silver and maroon. Superficial, I know, but I got to go with who looks better on this one.
Washington State 35 Oregon 27
UCLA at Arizona
UCLA hasn't had a great year, but then again, does anyone remember the last time the kitties won? Mackovic says that Nic Costa will get some time this week, which means he has given up on this season. I made a stupid bet with my friend who delivers the Daily Bruin, please Cats, don't make me wear a dress to class ·
Arizona 17 UCLA 14
No. 1 Miami at Tennessee
The Hurricanes finally have something to prove, as last week they fell to No.3 in the BCS poll. Tennessee certainly doesn't want to see a motivated Miami team. This one will be a laugher, much like the new B-Fish comic in the Wildcat. Did you see the one with the conveyer belts store connecting the pet store and Chinese food restaurant? 'Canes big.
Miami 42 Tennessee 17
No. 9 USC at Stanford
The Trojans are looking to keep their Pac-10 hopes alive with a win this week against the smart kids. Stanford's only conference win came against the kittens. This game should be as easy to pick as the winner at a hottest coaches' wives of the Pac-10 contest. My vote goes to Mrs. Neuheisel, one of the best-looking wives of awful coaches around.
USC 31 Stanford 6
No. 15 Oregon at No. 5 Washington St.
This is one game that will help determine who goes to the Rose Bowl, and who goes to the Las Vegas Bowl. Oregon needs a win, and Wazzu all but wraps up a spot in the parade with a win. I see a big game from Onterrio Smith, but an even bigger game from sudden-Heisman contender Jason Gesser. The Cougs crush the Quacks.
