At the sports desk: this week's college football picks

i didn't do well at all last week. But try, try again!

OKLAHOMA over Cincinnati--Cincy has upgraded its program in recent years. But with no veteran QB and facing the Sooners on the road, well...they'll see there's still work to do.

FLORIDA over Miami--Miami's on the way back; but the Gators have too much talent, not to mention Tim Tebow.

WEST VIRGINIA over East Carolina--give the Pirates credit for their upset last week over Virginia Tech. I think this will be a close game, but the Mountaineers' Pat White will be the difference.

ARIZONA STATE over Stanford--the Cardinal can move the ball; did you see their win last week vs Oregon State? This will be a closer game than people expect, but ASU will prevail.

WASHINGTON over BYU--the Huskies stayed in the game for a good while last week on the road at Oregon; Jake Locker is coming on. I think this week they'll pull off the upset at home.

PENN STATE over Oregon State--the Nittany Lions to get the job done at home; Oregon State's defense couldn't stop Stanford last week...I doubt they'll do much better here.
