Alright back to backing up my picks. I was 5-1 in the college games which never happens and then I tanked on Sunday, all after a 9-3 performance. So maybe my inconsistency will make me have a good week after last week's 6-6.
1. #13 JMU over Towson- The Dukes already lost at home once this season and I don't expect it to happen twice, especially not on Senior Day. Tony LeZotte will make his 49th straight start and he, John Baranowsky, L.C. Baker, Antoinne Bolton and more aren't ready for their career to be over just yet. A win will likely send JMU back to the playoffs for the second straight year. Scotty McGee is also back fielding kickoffs so expect a lot of big plays out of him and Baker. JMU 49, Towson 10.
2. #22 Hofstra over #7 UMass- After dropping its third conference game the Pride are likely out of playoff contention, but expect the senior class to go out strong especially at home and look to spoil the Minutemen's chance at the conference title. Hofstra's also only lost once at home this year making Hampstead a tough place to play. Hofstra 28, UMass 24.
3. William & Mary over #8 Richmond- It doesn't matter that the Tribe is absolutely pathetic against the run. This is still an instate rivalry and William & Mary would also like to play spoiler to the Spiders title hopes. Richmond shouldn't take Hightower and the starters out too early in this one. UPSET SPECIAL- W&M 45, UR 42.
4. #9 Delaware over Villanova- Forget the fact that the Blue Hens lost at home to Richmond last week, they still want home field for the first round especially if a loss meant playing at Delaware St. in the first round. Expect Omar Cuff to finish his senior regular season with a typical game of at least three touchdowns. Delaware 35, Villanova 14.
5. #15 Clemson over #17 Boston College- BCS college football is not my forte after following JMU around all year. But I'll make an attempt in these two games. Rumor is Tommy Bowden is on the hot seat and B.C. is not the No. 2 team everyone thought they weren't anyways. A loss at Maryland has to be demoralizing after such a high at Va. Tech. Clemson 27, B.C. 14.
6. #7 Ohio St. over #21 Michigan- Michigan lost again and it wasn't impressive to unranked Wisconsin. It is in the Big House, but Michigan couldn't even defend its field against a Pac-10 opponent in Oregon. Ohio St. was No. 1 for a reason and would like to get back in the top five. Oh yeah and a trip to the Rose Bowl is up for grabs. OSU 31, Michigan 24.
Pleeease tell me why these picks never seem to work out because yes, I'm still in last.

Oregon is ranked fifth in Division I total offense, and those were shaky times for Michigan. Ohio State, ranked 46th in the same category, is much less formidable.
Last week wasn't a terrible loss for the Wolverines. Wisconsin has only lost to Illinois, Penn State and Ohio State.
This should be a close game, but I give the edge to the home team.
