Middle Tennessee State at Southern Miss.
Line: Middle Tennessee State by 23.

Saturday, 3:30 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). Follow @walterfootball for updates.

As I always say, the one major difference between the NFL and college football, aside from the talent level, is the lack of parity. Professional players will seldom quit for more than one game because they need to get paid. College players on terrible teams, on the other hand, will sometimes quit for the entire year because they don’t have NFL aspirations. Southern Miss has mailed it in. They’re just waiting for the season to end. They recently lost to a 4-6 Florida Atlantic squad by 34 points.

College Football Pick: Middle Tennessee State -23 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330







Indiana at Ohio State.
Line: Ohio State by 34.5.

Saturday, 3:30 p.m.

The Buckeyes sucked last week, beating Illinois by just 25. They received some flak for that, so they could be sharp again this Saturday against an Indiana squad that just went down to Wisconsin, 51-3. The Hoosiers stink, and the Buckeyes need a huge victory to stay ahead of Baylor at No. 3. The voters could vault Baylor over Ohio State if the Bears win and the Buckeyes don’t look too impressive.

College Football Pick: Ohio State -34.5 (3 Units) — Incorrect; -$330






New Mexico at Fresno State.
Line: Fresno State by 32.

Saturday, 4:00 p.m.

I love Fresno State this week. I’m a big fan of picking solid teams coming off byes playing inferior competition. Well, that’s magnified here, as Fresno State is a great team playing a crap New Mexico squad that just lost to 6-5 Colorado State by 24. This should be a demolition.

College Football Pick: Fresno State -32 (4 Units) — Correct; +$400






Marshall at Florida International.
Line: Marshall by 33.

Saturday, 6:00 p.m.

Here’s another team that has quit: In its previous two games, Florida International lost to Middle Tennessee State, 48-0, and went down to 2-8 UTEP, 33-10. Marshall figures to win quite easily.

College Football Pick: Marshall -33 (3 Units) — Correct; +$300






Baylor at Oklahoma State.
Line: Baylor by 10.

Saturday, 8:00 p.m.

No disrespect to Baylor – they’re a great team – but I think Oklahoma State could pull the upset here. The Cowboys are also great, and the fact that they’re 10-point underdogs at home is pretty ridiculous. This game should be decided by a field goal.

College Football Pick: Oklahoma State +10 (2 Units) — Correct; +$200
