Spread Pick'Em: Week 9

Well last week was a let down.  The 5-5 record sets me back to 41-45 entering week 9.  Some big games this weekend as Notre Dame and Kansas State look to stay unbeaten against stiff competition.  Can the Irish shut down Landry Jones now that he's on fire?  With everyone on the Red Raiders defense targeting Colin Klein can they keep up with the fast scoring Texas Tech offense?  I wish I could tell you the answers, but every week I become more surprised with the twists and turns of this college football season.  Who in the hell thought Florida would be number 2 and Oregon State in the top ten?  I still can't get over it.

I won't catch too many of the games due to round two of the Arizona college football road trip.  I'll be out at Arizona State to catch the UCLA game and then off to the Gin Blossoms show.  Yes, as epic weekend indeed.  If Arizona can knock off USC then the night in Tucson will be that much more enjoyable.  I'll have a post next weekend on my thoughts on the tailgating, the stadiums, and the games at Arizona and ASU. 

As always, follow at your own peril...
