Time to start picking this year's college football bowl games. Here's this week's slate of games (with picks against the spread ... like a man). We'll pick all 35 games against the spread, including five bonus picks worth double, for a total of 40 points. Neither of us are doubling down on this...
Utah versus the Pac-10 #4: Utes beat SC
How much has changed since this game was played in 2001? Well look at it this way - the Trojans were content with a 6-5 season.
