College Football Picks For Saturday 9/24 (FBS and FCS)

Been a week since I have been able to post anything here on the blog, so as a return, I have decided to post my Saturday picks here for all to see. Here are all of my picks for all of the FBS and FCS games being played this weekend.

FBS

Penn State over Eastern Michigan...even with Paterno's wax dummy in the box, Lions roll.
Michigan State over Central Michigan...MSU is pissed after last week. Whoop ass time!
Michigan over San Diego State...Hoke knows the Aztecs, and Michigan has more talent.
Iowa over UL-Monroe...Hawkeyes should cruise over Warhawks at home.
Georgia Tech over North Carolina...Withers suffers first loss at UNC
Notre Dame over Pittsburgh...ND found a stride, and Pitt is just not that good.
Toledo over Syracuse...Rockets may be down after two beatdowns. I still have faith.
SMU over Memphis...A single girl scout could take the toothless Tigers.
Georgia over Ole Miss...Richt needs to win every game. Rebels are awful. Good combo.
Temple over Maryland...I look for Owl defense to frustrate Terps uneven offense.
UMass over Boston College...BC is abysmal, and UMass needs a signature FBS win.
Miami (Ohio) over Bowling Green...Falcons are improved, but Miami feels right at home.
Akron over VMI...Even Akron can't lose to the Keydets.
