The weekly thought part will come later, but let's get onto the predictions for the weekends games.
THIS WEEKS PICKS
Went 5-1 last week, bumping my record for the season to 25-10, not to shabby. This is what I'm thinking for this weekend:
OU big over Kansas. The Jayhawks have the benefit of playing in the Big XII North, they will get a taste of the real Big XII when they take on the pissed off Sooners.
Penn State snaps the streak and finally beats Michigan.
Texas doesn't slow down, they beat Missouri and put themselves in the drivers seat to win the Big XII North, that is until OK State next week.
Georgia over Vandy... Yes Vandy is ranked, and yes they started out impressive, but who have they beaten? Auburn is their best win and at this point that is not saying much.
UPSET OF THE WEEK:
Sparty getting 3.5 at home against the very unimpressive looking Ohio State Buckeyes, is a gimme. Can't wait for Javon Ringer and Co. to head to Happy Valley for that all important Land Grant trophy. Wonder if that game will finally be a big deal if the Big Ten title is on the line too!
ENJOY YOUR FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND!!!!
The Reitmeyer Rankings come out next week with the BCS rankings!

TROUBLE TRACKER
Michigan becomes our first repeat offender on the TROUBLE TRACKER.
Now many who know me realize I think a crime against a hockey player is only a crime if he is still able to play. If you commit a crime and in doing so, prevent the growth of hockey in America you should be praised, not arrested. Unfortunately those in Michigan see things differently. I guess they try to protect the players from their winning teams. Mike Milano, a 5'7" 190 pound walk-on, apparently put a whooping on a defenseman from the UM hockey team around 2:25 Sunday morning. Well at least Michigan football beat someone this weekend! Rich Rod said that he would not comment while the investigation was ongoing. Read that to say, "I'm the same guy that recruited Chris Henry and Pac-Man Jones to WVU, do you think I care about the character issues of my players?"
Staying in the Big Ten, Illinois back-up QB Eddie McGee was arrested after knocking a female to the floor during a dance floor fight at a homecoming dance. No word yet on whether he will be suspended, but if Ron Zook keeps with the tradition of most Big Ten coaches he will send a message and suspend McGee multiple games since he is a back-up and wouldn't be playing in those games anyway.
Let's take a look at the standings so far this season:
THE "U" - 7
The State Penn - 4
Indiana - 4
Tennessee - 2
Michigan - 2
Mississippi State - 1
