Week 1 Jones Picks

I thought I would start a new column this season where I give picks for the top games of the weekend. Then I will track my progress throughout the season to see how awful my picks ended up being. Feel free to give your picks in the comment section.

• South Carolina vs NC State: I'm actually very excited about this game because it gives us a look at how NC State plays at home. Jones Pick: South Carolina
• (16) Oregon vs (14) Boise State: If Boise State wins this game they become the front runner for BCS buster aka team that is cheated out of a shot for the National Title. Jones Pick: Boise State
• (13) Georgia vs (9) Oklahoma State: How great of a game is this? Popular opinion is leaning towards the Cowboys winning this game but I'm going against the grain. Jones Pick: Georgia
• (5) Alabama vs (7) Virginia Tech: I feel like we saw this game last year with the Clemson-Alabama game. That being said Virginia Tech is a solid team who can easily win the ACC. Jones Pick: Alabama

I will be back later with predictions for Pitt-YSU on Saturday. Enjoy the beginning of the college football season tonight.
