Football Future-see Week 3

Week three of the college football season is upon us, and from the first two weeks we've learned a few things:
1. Ohio State is a play-up/play-down team. They bring just enough intensity to match their opponent.
2. The SEC is, top to bottom, the absolute best conference in football.
3. Notre Dame looks like they might struggle again this year.
4. Michigan is still a year away from being an elite program once again.
5. East Carolina is for real.

We've also learned that the prognostication prowess still resides with the Right Wing. We've so far gone 10-2 in predictions.

Now, I give you Week 3...

(5) Ohio State at (1) USC
The first of what looks to be a couple of top five battles this year. Ohio
State looked bad against a vastly inferior Ohio, actually trailing for part
of the game before getting some half-way decent special teams play in the
fourth. USC has had a week off to prepare for the Buckeyes, and in the
end, rest beats a "prep game." Ohio State, though, has a tendency to
either play up or play down depending on the caliber of their opponent.
Final Score: USC 34, Ohio State 24

(13) Kansas at (19) South Florida
This is a tough call. I've been on the South Florida bandwagon all
year. But Kansas is a tough opponent, seemingly carrying over the magic
from last year. Matt Groethe's big test is this week, against a good
Jayhawk defense. Look for a good battle, but in the end, South Florida
pulls the "on paper" upset.
Final Score: South Florida 28, Kansas 26

(2) Georgia at South Carolina
Georgia enters conference play with a 2-0 record. South Carolina is 1-1
overall, 0-1 in the SEC. Georgia scored 45 in week one, then 56 in week
two. South Carolina shut out NC State in week one, then lost to Vanderbilt
in week two. South Carolina is in QB "Panic Mode" trying to find a
starter, and if Georgia's defense shuts down whoever QBs the Gamecocks this
week, expect two things to happen: 1) Darth Spurrier blows a gasket, and
2)DefConOne will ring out over SC's campus. Georgia has one of the better
QBs in the nation in Matthew Stafford. Lou Holtz admitted that he was
wrong in saying that Georgia was overrated. The Dawgs defense is scary
fast, and they will rule the field against SC's offense.
Final Score: Georgia 41, South Carolina 14

(10) Wisconsin at (21) Fresno State
Wisconsin looked bad out of the gate against Marshall, but that was before
they rang up 51 unanswered. Fresno State crossed the country and beat
Rutgers. Now a ranked team comes to their house. Wisconsin is still the
Right Wing's pick to reach the Rose Bowl, but they don't show all that
great here. Jet Lag will be the excuse, but the Fresno State Bulldogs will
out perform the Badgers just enough. If this game were in Camp Randall
Stadium, things might be different.
Final Score: Fresno State 27, Wisconsin 21

Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech
The battle of unranked teams. Georgia Tech snuck past Boston College last
week and now goes into Blacksburg to take on a deflated VaTech, still
reeling from a loss to surprising East Carolina. Georgia Tech's defense
has looked fairly good so far, and the Yellow Jacket offense has averaged
30 points per game. The name of the game here, though, is defense. It'll
be a low scoring affair.
Final Score: Georgia Tech 21, Virginia Tech 14
