NCAA Top 10 Week 9

PSU comes to the Enclosed Horse Shoe

Back to a somewhat normal week for me.  So I am excited about Saturday night’s game between my Nittany Lions and the Buckeyes.  For the first time in 10 years it seems that Penn State has a solid offense that can put up points in bunches.  My only worry for Saturday is how the defense will measure up to Beanie Wells.  I think they will be solid, but not as solid as they could be with Sean Lee anchoring the linebackers.  Not too many people are pointing out the fact that if Sean Lee was playing this season the Nittany Lions would have that big time middle linebacker presence they had with Paul Posluszny and Dan Conner.  For those of you who don’t know, Sean Lee injured his knee last spring and is out for the season.  You can see him on the sidelines helping the team with coaching.  I applaud him on staying involved with the team and helping the younger players.

So here are my top 10 games for week 9 of the NCAA season.  All time EST.

1. Penn State at Ohio State - 8 PM - Big Ten and homer pick of the week.  FYI, apparently there is a scarlet out so it will be tough going in the stands if you are wearing blue, speaking from experience.  You stay classy OHIO.  Seriously, at least try.
2. Georgia at LSU - 3:30 PM - Can the Bulldogs take a bit out of the Tigers?  Interesting BCS ranking for both teams.  Time to see if that preseason number 1 can get a huge road win.
3. Oklahoma State at Texas - 3:30 PM - Time to see if the Oklahoma’s Cowboys can play better then the Cowboys that play in Dallas.  Texas now has the number 1 bullseye, enjoy!

4. Texas Tech at Kansas - 12:00 PM - Red Raider Red Raider send the Jayhawks over!  That is a stretch from the god old days of trying to break arms in the playground playing Red Rover.  Did anyone else end up inadvertently tackling a girl trying to break through the line?
5. Alabama at Tennessee - 8:00 PM - I guess old Rocky Top isn’t so happy these days.  Bama has a tough schedule ahead so hopefully this isn’t a trap game.
6. USC at Arizona - 10:15 PM - To all USC fans - Be glad you play in the PAC 10. Love, SEC/Big 12 country.
7. Virginia Tech at Florida State - 3:30 PM - Hokie Hokie High, please beat the Seminoles and make them cry.
8. Virginia at Georgia Tech - 3:30 PM - Virginia is a Jekyll and Hyde type of team.  The Yellow Jackets aren’t terrible so a home win here is not a stretch.
9. Northwestern at Indiana - 12:00 PM - This is for all my NU wildcat friends.  Everyone, the Wildcats are ranked and will be bowling this year!  I think they make it to the Outback Bowl.
10. Oklahoma at Kansas State - 12:30 PM - Maybe losing to Texas and missing the Big 12 Title game could be a good thing for the Sooners.
