So I came through the first week perfect (8-0), but the games were pretty easy to pick. This week, they start getting tougher as we start to see some non conference FCS opponents showing up on the slate. There still are some FBS and DII games to give me a good chance of coming out fine. That said, here they are. All are my opinion and all are open for discussion.

EWU @ California---The Eagles put to rest their victory last week and head to Berkeley to face Pac-10 Cal. The Eagles were finally able to distance themselves from DII Western Oregon while Cal was dismantling the ACC's Maryland. Any chance for the Eagles in this game? Oh, slim to none...Cal 42, EWU 7.

ISU @ Oklahoma---This game hinges on one thing. Not if the Bengals can somehow win this game, but how mad the Sooners are after losing to BYU last week. Heisman winner Bradford no doubt will not play this week, giving the Bengals hope. A slight hope...Oklahoma 45, ISU 3.

UM @ UC-Davis---Looking at last week could skew the thinking in this game. The Grizzlies more or less walked through their game against Western State while UC-Davis was getting manhandled by Fresno State. But with basically the same team last year, the Aggies gave the Grizzlies all they wanted in Missoula. Also, just like the Grizzlies, the Aggies are tougher at home. Far from easy...UM 30, UC-Davis 28.

Dixie State @ MSU---Just about everything that could go wrong last week for the Bobcats did. The defense could not slow Michigan State down and the offense could not get started. Consequently the Bobcats came home with more questions. This week, the home opener against DII Dixie State. A good chance to answer those questions...MSU 31, Dixie State 7.

NAU @ Arizona---While everyone else was getting a taste of action, the Jacks decided to extend fall practice one week. Whether the week off helped them remains to be seen. They head to Arizona to take on the Pac-10 Wildcats. So much for the openers...Arizona 38, NAU 10.

San Diego @ UNC---Hard to distinguish where you are when you are getting punished by Kansas, but the Bears head home this week against FCS non-scholly San Diego. Should be a good barometer as to where they are heading, but the Torerros beat them in Greeley a couple years back. If the Bears want to make headway in the conference, they need this game...UNC 20, San Diego 17.

Southern Oregon @ PSU---Good things came out of the Vikings game with Oregon State, but points were still tough to come by. This week, the Vikings get to see where they are when they are the favorite as they welcome NAIA's Southern Oregon to Portland. The NAIA has already stolen a game from the FCS. Not this time...PSU 35, Southern Oregon 10.

Sac State @ Cal Poly---Fresh from the pounding in the desert, the Hornets head south to Cal Poly, hoping to put last week behind them. Losing Hilliard looks to be bigger than previously thought as the Hornet offense was stagnant. This week the Hornets hope to get on the right track. But, it is still Cal Poly...Cal Poly 28, Sac State 14.

WSU @ Colorado State---Last week, the Wildcats found their upset bid foiled, mainly by the five interceptions. This week, they stay in the Mountain West and head to Colorado State, facing a team that look really impressive against their bigger in-state brother. As last week, the Wildcats can win this game, but the best chance for an upset was last week...Colorado State 31, WSU 20.
