Week 1 (9/3) Picks

I'm going to try to do some picks each week. I'll pick every game involving a ranked team as well as other games that I feel are somewhat important (every Utah/Michigan game will be on here).

Edit: As I'm watching this TCU/Baylor game, I just realized that I forgot to pick this game. Oh well. I was torn for this game anyway, and probably would've ended up picking TCU, so it might be a good thing I forgot. It's amazing the way that Baylor has been shredding this TCU defense.

UNLV at #11 Wisconsin - Wisconsin should win this game easily. UNLV will see a good dose of James White and Montee Ball.
#20 Mississippi State at Memphis - Should be an easy game for Mississippi State.
Montana State at Utah - Utah might struggle early with some new players on defense, but should pull out an easy win.
Youngstown State at #17 Michigan State - Easy win for MSU.
Utah State at #23 Auburn - Utah State will probably keep it closer than most people think.
Northwestern at Boston College - Dan Persa will look them to a close victory.
Miami (OH) at #21 Missouri - Miami will keep this close until the fourth quarter. I could almost see an upset here.
Kent State at #2 Alabama - Kent State could get shut out. They won't score more than 7.
Appalachian State at #13 Virginia Tech - I want to give App St a chance, but after last year VT will be prepared.
ULM at #6 Florida State - ULM will be much improved, but so will FSU. This will be over by halftime.
Chattanooga at #10 Nebraska - Another game to be over by halftime.
USF at #16 Notre Dame - Notre Dame is much better than last year. USF will struggle early and never really get back into it.
Minnesota at #25 USC - Barkley should have fun throwing on Minnesota.
Western Michigan at Michigan - Michigan will struggle to stop the pass, but win by 10 or so points.
UCLA at Houston - Houston will start their BCS season at home against UCLA.
San Jose State at #7 Stanford - Luck might throw 5 TDs in the first half.
Louisiana at #9 Oklahoma State - Brandon Weeden should have a big half, and he won't play in the second half.
East Carolina vs #12 South Carolina - Lattimore will dominate ECU's defense.
Missouri State at #15 Arkansas - Easy win for Arkansas.
Florida Atlantic at #22 Florida - Warm up game for Florida.
Fresno State at California - Fresno State makes a mark against Cal at Candlestick.
Tulsa at #1 Oklahoma - Oklahoma could win by 50+.
#3 Oregon vs #4 LSU - LSU's defense dominates Oregon's offense. Thomas won't be able to throw on them.
#5 Boise State at #19 Georgia - Ugliest game on TV this week. BSU beats an overrated Georgia team.
Marshall at #24 West Virginia - Marshall will probably score some points, but Geno Smith will have a big day.
SMU at #8 Texas A&M - SMU will give A&M trouble for a while, but A&M will pull away in the second half.
Miami at Maryland - The distractions and suspensions give Miami a loss on Labor Day.
