Every week T-Roc will share his thoughts on what is going on in college football, make picks and fire back at your nasty comments. Want to learn more about him, check out his first post or visit his archive.

All apologies for the absence last week, it couldn’t be helped - overtime at the office, a family member in the hospital and an extended weekend in Montreal.

I did Montreal the proper way, from the early-morning bagels on Saint-Laurent through the cinq à sept on Saint-Denis through the late-night booze and boogie a la discotheque. I ignored sports beyond the pair of Habs wins I caught at the Bell Centre (Olé!) And thought I’d miss it.

Nope. I didn’t pine for the MLB playoffs, didn’t ache over missing the NFL and I sure as fuck didn’t care about missing Nebraska shitting the bed last Saturday.

But now I’m back home and I’m pumped to catch up on college football. Lots of it. That’s why I’m including a dirty dozen pixxx for Halloween.

Cincinnati at Syracuse, noonET: Cincinnati -14 ½

Style points, baby! The Turf at the Carrier Dome will only make Mardy Gilyard look that much faster as he peels away from defenders into the end zone.

UL-Lafayette at FIU, noon ET: ULL +3 ½

The Ragin’ Cajuns have some injury problems and haven’t wowed anyone on the road, but the running game should be fine. Love these guys getting points here.

Ole Miss at Auburn, 12:20 p.m. ET: Ole Miss -4

The Tigers’ offense has gone AWOL just as that of the Rebels has stirred to life. Imagine what the line for this game would have been in August.

Iowa State at Texas A&M, 3:30 p.m. ET: Texas A&M -7

The Cyclones’ defence ain’t bad, but there’s no way they get a win handed to them like they did last week.

Florida vs. Georgia (at Jacksonville) 3:30 p.m. ET: Under 48

The Cocktail Party should be a slugfest this year. Not only is the defensive speed there, but neither offense looks overly potent.

Air Force at Colorado State, 4 p.m. ET: Colorado State +5 ½

Goddam, the Rams might be a schizophrenic as the Seminoles this year. I’m obviously banking on a return to early-season form here.

UCLA at Oregon State, 4 p.m. ET: Oregon State -10

Oregon State’s going to be a tough bowl team (again). UCLA hasn’t come within a touchdown of winning a Pac-10 game. Fuck the Bruins.

Washington State at Notre Dame, 7:30 p.m. ET: Notre Dame -28

You could try to convince yourself to bet Wazzu, seeing as the Cougars are 4-1 against the spread in the last five. But you know they’re junk. Don’t do it.

South Carolina at Tennessee, 7:45 p.m. ET: South Carolina +5 ½

Yeah!!! The ‘Cocks!!! The South Carolina defence will not allow Jonathan Crompton to succeed at Neyland. The ‘Cocks are a fine, fine football team.

Texas at Oklahoma State, 8 p.m. ET: Oklahoma State +8 ½

Having seen Texas struggle out of the game so often this season (last week notwithstanding), I don’t see them blowing away a top-15 school on the road.

USC at Oregon, 8 p.m. ET: Over 47

Both offenses flying, this should be the polar opposite of the Cocktail Party in style. The game I most want to see on Saturday (assuming I’m still sober at this point).

Wyoming at Utah, ET: Wyoming +17

“I wanna be a Cowboy… and you can be my cowgirl!” Boys Don’t Cry might’ve inspired both my costume as well as this pick.

Last week: 4-2

2009 to date: 21-20-1
