This week's college football picks: U-Dub-Dub back in action!

Nearly nine months after one of the most stunning and impressive victories in recent college football history, Wisconsin-Whitewater returns to the gridiron to open its 2008 campaign.

U-Dub-Dub hosts St. Xavier University (which is located in Chicago and is an NAIA school) at the friendly confines of Perkins Stadium.

This showdown is just one of many that promise to be lopsided affairs this weekend. Check out this week's picks, and you'll notice that it's tough to go out on a limb ...

No. 2 Wisconsin-Whitewater over St. Xavier
No. 5 Florida over Miami (Fla.)
No. 8 West Virginia over East Carolina (though, was really tempted to make this the "Upset pick of the week")
No. 11 Wisconsin over Marshall
No. 15 Brigham Young over Washington

Upset pick of the week: Stanford over No. 15 Arizona State

And our totally random college football pick of the week: North Dakota over St. Cloud State (FYI ... North Dakota smoked Texas A&M-Kingsville in its Division 1 debut last week)

Last week's record: 7-1
