Here are my selections...

NC State v Georgia Tech (at GT) ~ The Ramblin' Wreck hasn't been all that impressive this year but they should be able to put away NC State with little trouble. Vee's Pick ~ GT

VaTech v Boston College (at BC) ~ The Hokies have been having a very uncharacteristic mediocre year and I think many are picking them on prior reputation. But Boston College hasn't played a tough game yet this year. Kent State and Weber State don't get you ready for Va Tech, even on an off year. Vee's pick ~ Va Tech.

North Carolina v Rutgers (at Rutgers) ~ Even with their suspension depleted roster, the tar Heels should be able to deal with a lackluster & disappointing Scarlet Knight team this year. It may be closer than it should be but NC will win. Vee's pick ~ UNC

Stanford #16 v Notre Dame (at ND)~ I like Brian Kelly and I think he will be able to bring Notre Dame back to prominence but they're not there yet. Vee's pick ~ Stanford

Temple v Penn State #23 (at PSU) ~ Temple has been a surprise team this year. If this game were anywhere but Happy Valley I might be tempted to call it an upset special. Could be a fun game to watch since Penn State has not seemed like the Nittany Lions of old. Vee's pick ~ PSU

Alabama #1 v. Arkansas #11 (at Ark.) ~ Ryan Mallett versus Mark Ingram in a Heisman showdown. The Razorbacks did a great job containing Ingram last year. If they can do so again I think they have a solid shot at winning this one at home. Vee's pick ~ in the upset of the week, Arkansas.

South Carolina #12 v Auburn #17 (at Aub) ~ Auburn has looked tough this year but I think Spurrier finally has the Gamecocks in gear. Vee's pick ~ South Carolina.

Oregon State #24 v Boise State #3 (at BSU) ~ The Bronco's Blue Turf claims another victim. Vee's pick ~ Boise State

West Virginia #22 v LSU #15 (at LSU) ~ Should be a fairly evenly matched game. Gotta believe the home field will be the deciding factor here. Vee's pick ~ LSU

Cal v Arizona #14 (at Arizona) ~ Arizona actually looks like they could be the team to beat in the Pac 10. Cal hasn't faced a good enough team yet this year to be ready for the Arizona onslaught. Vee's pick ~ Arizona

Yay, Vee is back with the Game Day thread! I knew if I pestered him about it we'd see one! laugh

So far I've been enjoying this year immensely despite ND having two losses this early. I've brought my 4 month old son into the tradition. The first week, my wife and I made a huge breakfast that could feed a dozen people and I picked at it all day long well into the evening games.

Georgia Tech

Virginia Tech - they can't afford another loss this early in the season.

North Carolina - this is the one game I'm least sure about.

Notre Dame - contrary to their losing I think they played very well these last two weeks. This should be the victory they need.

Penn State

'Bama

Auburn - I think Auburn will take this one at home.

Boise State - while I keep expecting Boise State to lose one at some point this season, I don't think it will be here.

LSU

Arizona

Alabama is tough, but don't discount the razorbacks, even though I'm not picking them.

Some very good games this week. Here are some observations...

1) NC State is for real. Even though Georgia Tech doesn't look to be at the top of their game, the Wolfpack handled them and is now 4-0.

2) Temple really gave Penn State a scare. The Owls are no longer the perennial doormat they used to be.

3) Alabama - Arkansas was a great game. The Razorbacks gave the Tide a run for their money. Mallet may well have lost his shot at a Heisman with his turnovers.

4) Did anyone else see that Oklahoma just barely survived against Cincinnati and Texas lost to UCLA? Guess both were looking ahead one week to their Red River Showdown.

5) Mark Richt is going to really be on a hot seat after his Georgia Bulldogs lost another game, this time to Miss State.

Here are my picks...

Va Tech @ #23 NC State ~ Never really thought I would ever say this but I just don't think VT has what it takes to beat the Wolfpack this year. Vee's pick ~ NC State

#2 Ohio St @ Illinois ~ The Fighting Illini will play tough but the Buckeyes should prevail. Vee's pick ~ Ohio State

#16 Miami (FL) @ Clemson ~ Clemson is scary this year and it's in their backyard but Miami will be looking to avenge the loss last year. Vee's pick ~ Miami

#21 Texas @ #8 Oklahoma ~ The Longhorns are not the same caliber team as last year. Vee's pick ~ Oklahoma

#11 Wisconsin @ #24 Michigan State ~ The Spartans are the surprise team of the Big 10. Vee's pick ~ Michigan State

Tennessee @ #12 LSU ~ Neither team is as good as in recent years so I'll give the edge to home field. Vee's Pick ~ LSU

Notre Dame @ Boston College ~ Both teams have suffered disappointing losses but Boston College seems like its better equipped over all this year. Vee's pick ~ BC

#7 Florida @ #1 Alabama ~ The Gators got off to a rocky start but seem to have righted the ship. Bama has been solid all year. Vee's pick ~ 'Bama

#22 Penn State @ #17 Iowa ~ Sorry JoePa. Vee's pick ~ Iowa

#9 Stanford @ #4 Oregon ~ Should be a pretty wild game with two solid contenders for the Pac 12 crown. Vee's pick ~ Oregon

Congrats, Vee. Miami avenges its home loss to us last year by handing one right back to Clemson. Credit Clemson with the assist via 6 turnovers. Ugh. shake

Some great games to watch yesterday. Illinois gave Ohio State quite a scare. Should be interesting to see if they lose any ground in the polls (they should but I predict they won't). How about that wild ending to the LSU - Tenn game? Can't recall the last time I saw such a huge mistake on the part of a team. Stanford and Orgeon was a great game but boh showed they still lack a solid defense.

Anyway...here are the results for this week...

Lardy 7 of 10 - 70%
Rick 8 of 10 - 80%
Vee 8 of 10 - 80%
Cobie - Missing In Action

And the overall standings are as follows:

Cobie - 8 of 10 = 80%
Rick - 15 of 20 = 75%
Vee - 15 of 20 = 75%
Lardy - 7 of 10 = 70%

Here's the newest poll. Have to say I don't think it's right Ohio State who struggled against an unranked Illinois didn't drop. Oregon deserved to jump after beating highly ranked Stanford.

And here are my picks for this week...

UConn @ Rutgers Although U Conn has had a rough start, I do think they are among the best of the Big East. Vee's pick ~ UConn

#1 Alabama @ #19 South Carolina ~ Alabama has had impressive wins against Arkansas and Florida but Florida hasn't been a slouch this year either. With the game being in Columbia, I'm tempted to flag this as an upset special. Vee's pick BUT...I still think 'Bama pulls this one out for another great win.

Illinois @ Penn State ~ The Fighting Illini will surprise someone in the Big 10 this year but not this week. Vee's pick ~ Penn State

#12 LSU @ #14 Florida ~ Both teams have looked bad at times this year but Florida seems to have many more issues still remaining. Vee's pick ~ LSU

UCLA @ Cal ~ Cal is one of the better teams in the Pac 10 but UCLA has been quietly improving. Vee's pick ~ UCLA in an close win on the road.

#17 Michigan State @ #18 Michigan ~ Michigan continues to misfire under Rich Rodrique while Michigan State is firing on all cylinders. Vee's pick ~ revenge is sweet as the Spartans take down their intra state rivals.

Clemson @ North Carolina ~ Clemson could easily be undefeated based on their play so far this year. UNC has remained tough and played well through the player & agent scandal. Vee's pick ~ Clemson

Pitt @ Notre Dame ~ The Irish are finally starting to play like a Kelly coached team but lack defense. Trouble is, so does Pitt! Vee's pick ~ ND at home

#23 Florida State @ #13 Miami ~ Were it not for the annoying turnovers, Miami could be undefeated. The Seminole are not playing up to their potential but this game is always a wild one. Vee's pick ~ Miami

USC @ #16 Stanford ~ USC has lost its lustre though they are far from bad. Stanford however, is a very, very good team. Vee's pick ~ Stanford
