By the way, the fifth-annual Walter/Joker Annual Challenge is on, as I'll be competing with the Joker's College Picks. We each pick five games and see who does the best each week.

Stanford vs. Wisconsin
Line: Stanford by 6.5.
Jan. 1, 5:00 p.m.

As a disclaimer, don't go nuts with my college football picks. I'm much better at picking NFL games (at least I used to be); I'm just doing these upon request. Follow @walterfootball for updates.

No one expected Stanford to be in the Rose Bowl exhibition game prior to the season. I doubt the Cardinal players expected it. But here they are, ready to take on the Big Ten champs. They'll be up for Wisconsin, a team that just isn't very good. Trust me, I've bet against the Badgers a couple of times this year.

College Football Pick: Stanford -6.5 (1 Unit)

Northern Illinois at Florida State
Line: Florida State by 13.5.
Jan. 1, 8:30 p.m.

Remember when Florida State was undefeated and everyone was talking about the team possibly battling Alabama in the national championship? Well, the Semionles have certainly fallen. Sure. they've been invited to a meaningless BCS bowl (aren't they really just the same as the other ones?) but they have to take on Northern Illinois. Why would they care about stupid Northern Illinois? Meanwhile, the Northern Illinois players have spent the past month listening to why they don't belong in a stupid BCS bowl. They'll be pumped to prove everyone wrong.

College Football Pick: Northern Illinois +13.5 (2 Units)

---

Oregon vs. Kansas State
Line: Oregon by 8.5.
Jan. 3, 8:30 p.m.

What was that Kansas State loss to Baylor? Seriously, how was an undefeated team embarrassed like that against a mediocre opponent so late in the year? The Ducks are at least legit. They should be able to prevail over Bill Snyder, who has a 4-9 spread record in bowl games.

College Football Pick: Oregon -8.5 (1 Unit)

---

Kent State vs. Arkansas State
Line: Arkansas State by 3.5.
Jan. 6, 9:00 p.m.

The fourth BCS bowl I'd like to discuss is Kent State versus Arkansas State. This one must be super important because it's being played just one day prior to the national championship.

This may surprise you, but this is Kent State's first bowl appearance since 1972. I was certainly shocked because I assumed the Flashes made it to one when Julian Edelman quarterbacked the team. They'll be pumped to play Arkansas State.

College Football Pick: Kent State +3.5 (2 Units)

Alabama vs. Notre Dame
Line: Alabama by 9.5.
Jan. 7, 8:30 p.m.

Always bet on the SEC team in the BCS championship*. That's what I've learned over the years. Dating back to 2006, the SEC is a perfect 5-0 versus non-SEC competition in the BCS championship.

* - Note that this is not technically the national championship. This is the BCS Championship. The winner wins the BCS, but if the voters should choose to vote, say, Texas A&M No. 1 after this contest, the Aggies would technically split the title with Alabama. Just sayin'.

Alabama has too much defensive power for Notre Dame's offense to handle. In fact, the Tide's speed is just going to be overwhelming. The Irish should be competitive for a while, but Alabama will eventually pull away and win by 14-20 points.

College Football Pick: Alabama -9.5 (1 Unit)

I'd be here all day if I were to list the reasons, but let's just say Nebraska might actually consider benching Martinez at some point during this game... brock 09-29-2011 10:27 am xxx.xxx.xxx.251 (total posts: 1) 27     15 Could not disagree more with the Kansas St. pick. Last year Kansas st. had a kickoff return of a td and a long pass td. Baylor had almost 700 yards of offense against them. This Baylor team may be better. I like Baylor big!! Satan 09-29-2011 09:59 am xxx.xxx.xxx.126 (total posts: 162) 17     14 I agree with Walt on Clemson, but that's about it. I'm not impressed by K-State's last-second, lucky win over Miami. That Baylor QB makes Jacory Harris look like Curtis Painter by comparison. In big games like this, go with the best player on the field. That USC-ASU game last week was closer than the final score indicated, and Arizona's only win all year was in Week 1 vs Northern Arizona. I don't see how any sane person could expect them to keep it within 2 TD's on the road against an elite QB. As overrated as USC may be, this Arizona team is beyond bad. nic 09-29-2011 08:41 am xxx.xxx.xxx21.9 (total posts: 1) 16     15 3 team tease bama wisconsin tcu brad 09-29-2011 08:05 am xxx.xxx.xxx9.68 (total posts: 1) 27     17 as anyone ever gotten picks off dunkelindex.com Mike 09-28-2011 09:12 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.195 (total posts: 1) 27     17 Wow Mikey that's pretty sick, keep it up!

Just found out he has already broke Brett Farve's record for touchdowns at Southern Miss and threw 3 TDS today against Virginia. Davis goes into the Stoney Brook file. Went 1-1 with the Kansas State victory. I figured Miami won its BCS Title game with Ohio State last week. ScrotieMcBoogerBalls 09-24-2011 06:54 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.114 (total posts: 13) 20     20 Whew!
