This week's college football picks: Gotta watch this OU-Texas game!

We're one hour and 10 minutes from kickoff at the Cotton Bowl for the biggest game of the year so far ... the annual renewal of the "Red River Rivalry," Oklahoma vs. Texas.

Can't wait to watch this showdown.

So, going to make this quick so we can make a good, hearty breakfast before this game kicks off.

Let's pick some college football winners ...

No. 1 Oklahoma over No. 5 Texas
No. 2 Wisconsin-Whitewater over Wisconsin-River Falls
No. 3 Missouri over No. 17 Oklahoma State
No. 11 Florida over No. 4 LSU
No. 22 North Carolina over Notre Dame

Upset pick of the week: Wisconsin over No. 6 Penn State. The Nittany Lions' roaring "Spread HD" offense could have a hard time against the Badgers' stingy defense at Camp Randall Stadium.

And our totally random college football pick of the week: Bridgewater State over Framingham State ... just dig the schools with "State" in the title which you can't figure out which state the school actually resides in. In the eight-team Northeast Football Conference Bogan Division, five have "State" in the title ... Bridgewater State, Fitchburg State, Framingham State, Westfield State, Worcester State. Can you name which state(s) these schools call home? Well, all five of these schools reside in the state of Massachusetts. Fascinating! We'll likely revisit this topic in the future.

Last week's record: 6-1

Overall record: 31-11 (doing a far better job picking college football games this season than NFL games)
