5 and 3. That about sums up my picks for the year. More than half correct, but not by much. I would have felt a lot better about this weeks picks if Arkansas had held on.
Best BCS Team of the Week: Mississippi St.
The Bulldogs salvaged a poor season , with an absolute thrashing of their in state rivals at Ole Miss.

They had a great fourth quarter to edge Colorado State and get the Cowboys back into a bowl in Dave Christensen’s first season.

He continues to make himself a serious Heisman threat. He rushed for 205 yards and 3 TD’s and threw for another in Stanford’s come from behind win against Notre Dame.
