And we are back, right in the middle of a very, very hetic and wild time in college football.

-Oklahoma lost on the road as predicted, setting up further “Big Game Bob” jokes as Oklahoma gave up on the game according to their head coach, and their national championship hopes took a disastrous turn.

-Speaking of disaster, did anyone see Florida State’s defensive coordinator, Mark Stoops, on ESPN last night?  The angry, yelling, meathead coaching approach only works if your team is actually good.  His antics belong on Monday Night RAW.

-Nebraska won as expected at Oklahoma State, but the defense gave up more points than usual.  Nevertheless, the season’s first 5 KEG play was a winner.

-Tough loss for Hawkeye fans as special teams continue to be their Achilles heel. Also, how you mismanage 3 timeouts with one minute left and clock stoppage for first downs will remain a mystery.

-On Tuesday night, Boise State wowed us with another last minute victory.  Dr. JZ was thinking upset because oddsmakers only had the Broncos as a 38-point favorite, a very low number for them this time of the season.  They are usually favored by at least 45 points when their conference schedule starts to heat up. Yes, I said, “heat up.”

And now on to this week…

Trick or treat? Dr. JZ is saying trick for a few of the undefeated road teams this weekend.

-Michigan State and Missouri are heading on the road and both will go back to campus with that fatal “number 1″ in the loss column.  Their undefeated dream season ends tomorrow, although Sparty still has a solid chance in the Capital One Mascot Challenge.  Someone check him for HGH.

-Look for the Air Force to rebound after taking it on the chin against TCU. They always seem to play a close game against Utah and I expect to see it once again.

-Oregon at USC is a last second coin flip and Dr. JZ is staying away.  Logic says take USC as the home team in this series has won the last four matchups.

-Staying in the PAC 10, Arizona might lose outright to UCLA, so take the points with the Bruins.  By betting UCLA you guarantee yourself some great comedy with a post game Neuheisel rant.

-Will we see Jeckl or Hyde when Cal shows up to face Oregon State?  Who knows?  And more importantly, who cares? Both teams suck.

-Some intriguing matchups in the SEC as well.  Auburn is on a level red upset alert and Houston Nutt knows how to get his teams up for big games.  His only problem is finding a way to compete in the other nine games his team plays each year.  Look for Ole Miss to keep it close, and if they win the turnover battle, the BCS will see its fourth #1 team in as many weeks.  “

-The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” resumes tomorrow and Georgia hopes to win for only the third time in the last eleven tries.  A free tip from Dr. JZ: if the Bulldogs wear their black uniforms, bet the over.

The crystal ball is getting clearer and clearer by the week, so let’s take a trip down free money lane…..

5 Kegs:

Nebraska (-7) vs. Missouri

Iowa (-6 ½) vs. Michigan State

Ole Miss (+7) vs. Auburn

4 Kegs:

Kansas State (+5) vs. Oklahoma State

Indiana (+3.5) vs. Northwestern

Air Force (+7) vs. Utah

UCLA (+9) vs. Arizona

Texas (-7) vs. Baylor

Kansas (+19) at Iowa State

Mississippi State (-6) vs. Kentucky

Dr. JZ is back and ready to roll. I was out of commission last week and it was probably for the best considering the rough outing I posted the week before.  That is a thing of the past, however, and this week’s trend is home dogs!

Quick recap of what is going on in college football.  Alabama continues to impress, although they will be in for a duel this weekend with the “ol’ ball coach”.  Oregon jumped Boise State in the polls, but do not buy them as BCS title contenders just yet.  They are always good for a late season collapse.

BYU is picking a good time to go independent.  Next year they can compete with Notre Dame for the lowest rank independent team, because as of now Navy and Army are more respectable programs.  Overrated ranked teams: Miami, Utah, Arizona, and Michigan.   Look for them all to lose in the next few weeks.

And now for this weeks picks…

5 Kegs

Iowa State (+6) vs. #10 Utah

4 Kegs

Rutgers (+6) vs. Uconn

Kentucky (+7) vs. #8 Auburn

#19 South Carolina (+7) vs. #1 Alabama

3 Kegs

Georgia (-11) vs. Tennessee

California (-8) vs. UCLA

#23 Florida State (+6) at #13 Miami

Week 3 was an interesting week.  Vegas lost a lot of money with the Nebraska game, but the real financial hit came to Jake Locker and his plummeting draft stock.  This is a clear case of why you should leave school early and take the money.

He was projected as a top 5 pick last year and that means millions of guaranteed dollars.  He can still bounce back and salvage some draft momentum, especially at his much anticipated combine performance.  Regardless, Washington sucks and sucks bad, but not as bad as their rivals in Spokane.  Whoever holds that Washington State flag at ESPN Gameday deserves a medal of valor.

Best game of the year so far goes to Clemson at Auburn last Saturday night.  That game featured everything, including a couple guest appearances from Dr. James Andrews.  It’s never a good sign when one of the nation’s best orthopedic surgeons goes on the field twice, but it proves how intense the battle was between the Tigers of the ACC and SEC.    Clemson’s Kyle Parker, if he chooses football over baseball, will be a solid pro QB.  He has a rocket arm that’s second only to Boise State’s Kellen Moore (hahaha).

Lane Kiffin gets the A-HOLE award for Week 3, which he could probably get pretty much every week.  Minnesota was taking a knee to go into halftime when Lane Kiffin made sure to take all his 3 timeouts to get the ball back with several seconds on the clock.  Way to go, buddy.  He also went for the two-point conversion early in the first half which is becoming quite a trend.  Great display of gamesmanship from a desperate coach against a terrible Golden Gopher squad.

Moving on to a more important issue, making money in Week 4.  Last week was a battle, and we ended 4 wins 3 losses if you played the NFL bonus bet with the 49ers.  Here are the week 4 plays.

4 Kegs:

Auburn -3 vs. South Carolina

3 Kegs:

Rutgers +2 vs. North Carolina

Georgia Tech -8 vs. North Carolina State

Penn State -13 ½ vs. Temple

BYU +4 vs. Nevada

Good luck, Keg Heads and let’s hope the FG Kickers don’t pork us!
