Iowa Loses...Jordan Shipley Doesn't

Iowa just lost to Northwestern...so much for the perfect season. Iowa could still win the big ten and get to the Rose Bowl but they need to win out, and they have Ohio State left.

Not good for Iowa as their BCS national championship chances are now completely shot.

11 catches for 273 yards and a touchdown. Those are the numbers Jordan Shipley put up today vs UCF. This kid is ridiculous, crazy good. 273 yards is unreal...

USC vs Arizona State

Alright go ahead and hit the JUMP and 2ndnShort will take you through all of the picks for this weeks games...


Thursday

East Carolina +12.5 OVER Virginia Tech...VT has been well under expectations this year and ECU will look to knock them off again...shouts

Friday

Louisiana Tech +21.5 OVER Boise State...Betting against Boise State for life...seriously...I just wonder how far they would drop if they lost...

Saturday

Syracuse +21.5 OVER Pittsburgh...GREG PAULUS!!!

Virginia +13.5 OVER Miami...I can't figure Miami out, at all. They might be one or two years away from a full return to form...good tough win last week though, Virginia keeps this one close and loses 30-20.

Indiana +10.5 OVER Wisconsin...cool pants man

Texas -36.5 OVER UCF...UCF will miss Kevin Smith in this one...a lot

Northwestern +16.5 Iowa...Still thinking Iowa loses a game this year...but not this one Iowa wins 19-10

BYU -13 OVER Wyoming...betting with BYU for an unknown reason

Notre Dame -11 OVER Navy...with Michael Floyd coming back Jimmy Clausen will continue his Heisman quest...Notre Dame wins 29-15

Penn State -3.5 OVER Ohio State...This game should be close all the way, taking JoPa in this one, 16-12

Georgia Tech -16 OVER Wake Forest...Sticking with Georgia Tech because they have looked great as of late, 40-18. GT is definitely one of the best one loss teams.

LSU +7.5 OVER Alabama...hold on hold on hold on....I am not saying Alabama is going to lose, not at all. I think that they win 28-22. But, this could be the game of the week/year, neither of these teams can afford to lose. LSU is the top one loss team, and Alabama has a lot of people breathing down their neck for the #2 spot. Should be a good one...SPEECH!!!(I think I will post this vid every time we here at 2ndnShort feel fit, but mainly for huge games.

Oklahoma State -7.5 OVER Iowa State...SHOOTOUT!!!

Oregon -6.5 OVER Stanford...This should be a great game, Stanford is hungry for the upset. Oregon is good, really good, they need to win this game. QUACK!!!

Arizona -32.5 OVER Washington State...Washington State is pretty bad, like 42-4 bad...

TCU -24.5 OVER San Diego State...TCU WARWAGON FULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utah -27 OVER New Mexico State...NMSU is so bad...really ugly...sorry

Oregon State +7.5 OVER California...Jahvid Best and Jaquizz Rodgers...should be exciting

Florida -35 OVER Vanderbilt...Not even close, Tebow needs another big game to stay in the Heisman race...he get's it vs Vandy

Tulsa -1.5 OVER Houston...Tulsa wins, 58-50...yea

Cincinnati -16.5 OVER UConn...Can the Bearcats continue to roll? I think so...34-12

Oklahoma -5 OVER Nebraska...Yawn...MUSTACHE!!!

USC -10 OVER Arizona State...Worst loss in the Pete Carroll era last week, they have to bounce back

Alright, enjoy the football should be a great week. Check back here for updates Friday and Saturday

And enjoy this...Friday is here be happy, and take a girl to the movies...

This is the worst music video ever...or best...hilarious

Brandon Spikes UPDATE

Florida LB Brandon Spikes aka the guy who was caught trying to steal a Georgia players eyes, will be suspended the entire Vanderbilt game.

Spikes has decided to take himself out of the game so that he is not a distraction, aka Vanderbilt stinks and Spikes will not be needed.

Picks post and podcast tonight...get your betting shoes ready.

THE YANKEEEEEEEEES WIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the non Yankee fans...plenty of football tomorrow, picks and podcast.

But for now...

Getting your eyes poked out is fun...and some other stuff

Washaun Ealey said that he didn't really mind when Brandon Spikes attempted to rip his eyeballs out(picture might not be accurate). Ealey said he thinks it happens all the time, plus he had his eyes close, so it's all good...wow really? I still think he should be suspended at least one game. They are playing Vanderbilt so it would not really matter anyway.

Cincinnati QB Tony Pike is healing well and is now in a splint, not good news for anyone but the Bearcats because he is goooooood.

Notre Dame WR Michael Floyd is set to come back this week vs Navy. Jimmy Clausen is still in Heisman contention and this should do nothing but help as Floyd is one of the best wide outs in the nation.

and have a nice humpday...

don't lead with your head kids...bad idea...

Jamar Wall Plays Football

Not a lot of breaking news here today so watch this...

This is Why He Got Supended

Not cool Brandon Spikes, not cool, he was suspended for the first half of Florida's game vs Vanderbilt.

BCS Rankings

Florida is still on top of the BCS standings but there is a new number two.

Texas beat up on Oklahoma State Saturday to move into the #2 spot ahead of Alabama. This is great for Texas because of Florida and Alabama both win out they will collide in the SEC championship, leaving the winner to play Texas.

These three are followed by Iowa, Cincinnati, and TCU. TCU is looking to stir things up as they battle with Boise State as the underdog of the year.

Iowa is a team nobody expected to be here...they won by 18 points this weekend despite Stanzi throwing 5 picks.

Cinncy is still hot, and their passing attack is ridiculous.

Oregon moved up to 8th after smacking USC...Trojans dropped to 12th.

Notre Dame is #22.

The 2ndnShort best ten teams in the country are..

1.)Florida
2.)Alabama
3.)Texas
4.)Oregon
5.)TCU
6.)Cincinnati
7.)LSU
8.)Georgia Tech
9.)Iowa
10.)USC
