Here are my predictions for this week's games.

Last week I really stunk it up going 9-25 against the spread and
finishing pretty lowly in the CFPOOL standings (hey, i did still
beat Marsee).  I was 26-9 picking winners, which I suppose isn't
so bad....

My two five star picks went 1-1 and my four star pick lost so I
only had three big picks in my miserable week, which is good I
suppose.

This week's five star picks are for Oklahoma State and Kentucky
to upset Missouri and LSU, respectively.  If OSU doesn't get their
starting quarterback and a couple other players back from suspension,
I doubt they will win.  I don't figure these things into the program.
If they do, it's probably a good pick.
