2010 NCAA Football Week 3

[Editors Note: This column originally posted Friday, but I'm changing two picks before the games start today: Arkansas over Georgia and Colorado over Hawaii].

Last week I went 10-2 for the Big 12, bringing my record to 21-3 for the year.
So what happened?
1. Kansas changed its QB from Mr. Pick
2. OU showed why its a bad idea to pick against Stoops and Co. Maybe this year he'll revive his "Big Game Bob" aura. I'm just glad UT has two more weeks after the Tech game.

In the national games, I went 5-1 with my only loss the toss-up between Michigan and Notre Dame. What an individual performance by Denard Robinson.

Here's what I think's in store this weekend:

Big XII
Southern Miss over Kansas? Who knows.
K-State over Iowa State
Nebraska over Washington
OU over Air Force; a frisky performance by Air Force, but I'm not going to make the same mistake twice
Hawaii over Colorado
TCU over Baylor
Mizzou over SDSU
A&M over FIU
And finally, Texas over Tech. I know I always feel like we're going to lose these games. We've got a young team on the road, Tech has upgraded their coaching staff, Greg Davis is still our offensive coordinator. But Tech hasn't exactly played anyone either. I just have to bleed orange on this one even though my gut says we walk out with an L.

National Games
Iowa over Arizona despite the history
Wisconsin over Arizona State
Michigan State over Notre Dame - this one will end with the winner by 4 points or less
Georgia over Arkansas - Ryan Mallett comes back to Earth
Va Tech gets off the schneid against ECU
