NCB College Pick’em Predictions – Week 5

1.  WVU – The ‘Neers prevail in a 103-97 shootout
2. MSU – Sparty holds Braxton Miller in check and wins an ugly, ugly game
3. DAWGS – I’m a big Tyler Bray fan but Georgia is just flat out more complete
4. OKIE LITE – The Pokes have had recent success against the Horns and I think that continues
5. Children from the Corn – Huskers come out in their fancy kicks and uni’s and get revenge on the Wilsonless Badgers

Nate –

1. WVU: aren’t they the folks who burn couches?
2. Ohio St: Urban assault on the Spartans
3. Georgia: Georgia on my mind
4. Texas: Cowboys find a Horn in their side.
5. Nebraska: Let’s hope the Badgers choke on a corn cob.

Greg –

1. WVU- Neither of these teams is as good as their ranking but I’m not close to sold on Baylor
2. OSU- I think Urban has this team cookin’ and Sparty is in for a long night
3. Tennessee- Love Tyler Bray. Upset special!
4. Ok St.-Don’t think the Texas secondary is as good as people think and Ok St will sling it all over the yard.
5. NEB- It’s time for some revenge. Wilson gone, Montee Ball may not play. Big red machine rolls.

Edge -

1. WVU – Get your banjos and moonshine ready, and bring your hottest cousins to the after party
2. MSU – MSU’s D forces Braxton Miller to use his arm and his brain. FAIL!
3. UGA – My home state represents between the hedges, and send the Vols home wishing they got paid to play.
4. Okie State – Cowboys fire on all cylinders when Texas’ D finally faces a potent offense.
5. NU – Sweet, sweet revenge (as long as T-Magic brings the new arm)

BONUS PICK: ASU – The Sun Devils keep it rolling in the Pac-12

Brian–

1. West Virginia – looks to be a high flyer. WVU 54 – 38.
2. Ohio State – I might be the only person on the planet that said preseason the Spartans were garbage.
3. Georgia – Tennessee only played 3 quarters against Florida and Georgia is better.
4. Oklahoma State – We finally get to see that Texas is overrated.
5. Nebraska – Lots of distractions, but they will play through.

BONUS PICK: ASU, for no reason at all.

Lisa –

1. West Virginia – and try not to celebrate the win with your family.
2. Michigan St. – Sparty gets redemption at home.
3. Georgia – The Dawgs will dominate the Vols.
4. Oklahoma St. – Pokes in the upset will triumph over the Longhorns.
5. Nebraska – Huskers win at home.

BONUS PICK: Arizona State – CAL is not quite ready to hang with the big boys

Carmen –

1. WVU- Who has Baylor played? Oh right, ULM…
2. MSU- Sparty on!
3. UGA- Tennessee is quickly becoming a nobody in the SEC
4. Texas- They look to be the real deal this year… no this year.
5. Nebraska- Just because I think my days as a staff writer would be numbered if I picked against them…

BONUS PICK: ASU. Obviously.

Brandon -

1. West Virginia – Bears, glad you had fun with RG3. Enjoy the other side of the coin.
2. Ohio State – Screw this up, Urban. Please. I dare you.
