DFC Week Two

College Games (All times CST, all ranks from last week's AP Poll, all games on Saturday)

Notre Dame Fightin Catholics (1-0) at #4 Michigan Wolverines (1-0), 11am ABC
Go Charlie Weis! The Irish rode roughshod all up and down Wannstache's Pitt Team, but you have to aks yourself... are the Irish getting good? Or is Pitt just a typical Big East team. As always, Michigan rocks.
The Wookiee sez: Pitt was never really that good in the first place. Don't get too caught up in the Notre Dame hype. Take the Big Blue at home.

Mississippi State Bulldogs (1-0) at Auburn Tigers (0-1), 1130am
The loss to Georgia Tech was rough. Were they a better team, Auburn could have lost by about 65 points... wait, this just in, Brandon Cox threw another interception. I think Eddy McBroom caught it (he'll throw to anyone if they aren't in blue...). The Croomdawgs had a nice victory against Murray State, but... its Murray State.
The Wookiee sez: OK fine, Auburn will be 5-1 heading into the LSU game. They were not mentally ready for last weeks game. Tuberville even said so. What is he supposed to say, "We suck?" Look for a much better performance from the Tiggers (no that is not a typo). BTW did you know Croom is the first black head coach in the SEC?

Southern Miss Golden Eagles (0-0) at Alabama Crimson Tide ( 1-0), 645pm, ESPN2
My thinking was that Alabama did pretty good... diehard Tider Ryan Sherman (4-3) wasn't so sure. They are playing at home, though, so thats gotta help. Southern Miss' first game against Tulane was postponed due to Katrina.
The Wookiee sez: Does anyone really think USM has a chance here? I don't. Yeah they got the whole displaced by Katrina thing going for them but Alabama will win. It might be closer than people think. Brodie Croyle may just clinch the Heisman this week after his stunning performance against mighty MTSU. Geez if the sports writers in this state loved him anymore, they should all chip in and buy him a big valentine. The guy still has a losing record as a starter.

#2 Texas Longhorns (1-0) at #6 Ohio State Buckeyes (1-0), 7pm, ABC
I wouldn't even pick this game, because it would seem like a slam dunk for the Horns, but they are playing at Ohio State... and thats a major Buckeye advantage. Also the tiebreak game.
The Wookiee sez: As much as I want to say Texas will choke, I believe they will win. Besides, I like their cool new retro unis. Hook 'em Horns! Texas

NFL Games (all times CST, all games on Sunday)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Minnesota Vikings, 12pm, Fox
Gruden vs. the Moss-less Vikes!
The Wookiee sez: Minnesota is a sexy Super Bowl pick. Tampa sucks and Chris Simms may start at QB. Maybe he will do a Brandon Cox impression. Take the Vikings.

Denver Broncos at Miami Dolphins, 12pm, CBS
Jerry Rice's 83rd season vs. a Bong-less Ricky Williams (we hope)
The Wookiee sez: Jerry Rice retired. Miami has Sage Rosenfels at QB (Where have you gone Don Strock?) This game promises to have all the excitement of watching paint dry. If Jake Plummer remebers what team he palys for then Denver will win.

NYJets at Kansas City Chiefs, 12pm, CBS
J-e-t-s jetsjetsjets vs. Weepy Vermeil
The Wookiee sez: Dick Vermeil is a pansy and his defense could not stop a jr. high offense. The Jets are a popular dark horse pick to win the AFC East. Herm Edwards is cool. J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!

Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens, 730pm, ESPN
Peyton's offense vs. Ray's defense (he's a killer!)... pick 'em
The Wookiee sez: I am picking the Colts because I just dislike the Ravens that much. Besides the Ravens QB couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

TIEBREAK GAME:
Total points scored in the Texas/Ohio State

ps... The Wookiee went 4-4, which wasn't bad considering everyone else's week...
