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)

That was the worst football game by a team giving double digits in a while. I highly considered putting multiple units on it but it's a good thing I didn't. Like I mentioned above, I hope you all aren't tailing these NCAAF picks too closely, I'm much better at the NFL. pts22 09-18-2011 12:52 am xxx.xxx.xxx.191 (total posts: 5) 17     14 I'm sorry for being so wrong on my Hawaii/UNLV prognostication. I didn't lose my house but i did lose more than three units. No more predictions from me. I'm ashamed of myself and Hawaii. Again, my apologies.

Just way too much. lol. cdog716 09-18-2011 12:03 am xxx.xxx.xxx8.26 (total posts: 2) 16     16 bigri30 thanks for the wv tip yesterday. i like your picks no bs.

I guess Stoney Brook was a formidable opponent against Buffalo last week. I will put Stoney Brook into the file. Unit 09-17-2011 09:43 pm xxx.xxx.xxx4.37 (total posts: 1) 14     23 Whats a unit?

I was a little worried about that pick that i made. I know Hawaii is a "fast" team this year but 20 points is alot especially on the road for that team. Need Hawaii to complete my Boise,Wisc, Nebraska Parlay... Im just hopeing UNLV horrible game/forward progress play continues... Hawaii -20.5 pts22 09-17-2011 05:34 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.191 (total posts: 5) 14     14 Hawaii will win by at least three touchdowns. Even though they're playing at UNLV, it will be like a home game! openparlay.com 09-17-2011 02:49 pm xxx.xxx.xxx.244 (total posts: 14) 16     17 More college picks are up bigri30 09-17-2011 12:39 pm xxx.xxx.xxx0.95 (total posts: 65) 15     18 That Iowa play is looking like crap. Didnt do the research but saw some guys on here liking it so went with it. Should've played it down, but Michigan sucks offensively until the last quarter it seems.
