Couple of quick updates from Randy Edsall today. Scott Lutrus is out. Robbie Frey and Twyon Martin, listed as questionable Sunday, are both set to resume their duties. No decision yet on the starting strong safety. Might be one, might be both, Edsall said. Also, the forecast isn't pretty for Saturday. Mix or rain and snow with temperatures in the 40s. Edsall is glad the cold weather arrived already so the team could get a couple of days to adjust.

Late start to my day. My son recently turned two. About a week ago he saw a paper cup on the floor, picked it up and put it in the garbage pail without being asked for the first time. Genuinely excited, I cheered and told him what a good boy he was for throwing the trash in the pail. I guess I was a little too enthusiastic in commending his initiative. He began throwing random things away, running back into the living room applauding himself. The trend has yet to pass. Now, I'm constantly finding things in the trash that shouldn't be there. Brand new toys. DVDs. The TV remote. This morning, it was my car keys, wallet and cell phone. Unfortunately, I searched around the house for a good 20 minutes before realizing my son had probably thrown them away. On the bright side, he's gotten past the "throw everything in the toilet" phase. I have to admit, it is a step up.

On to the picks. I hate to pat myself on the back (ah, who am I kidding?) but not only did I pick 12 of 13 games last week, but won the weekly competition for the second time in three weeks. My theory of picking winners based on the best fodder for lame one-liners has become fool proof (get it? fool proof). Only took four years. Let's see how long it lasts.

Game 1: Oklahoma (+4) over TEXAS - The most searched topic on Google Wednesday? Rachel Glandorf. She's a hurdler at Baylor and also happens to be Colt McCoy's girlfriend. Rick Reilly mentioned she was "hot" in his last column, and the horn dogs did the rest. When your trophy girlfriend becomes the story, it never turns out well. Sooners win it outright.

Game 2: Missouri (+7) over OKLAHOMA STATE - Let me amend the previous comment. A trophy girlfriend becoming a story doesn't turn out well unless you're A-Rod (for now...let's see what happens against the Angels). Maybe Kate Hudson can make a career out of curing athletes who choke under pressure. Tony Romo is anxiously waiting for the inevitable break-up.

Game 3: Louisville (+13) over CONNECTICUT - Rumor has it Louisville has targeted Jon Gruden and is ready to throw millions at the current MNF analyst to take over for Steve Kragthorpe. Why stop there? Why not go after Tony Dungy. Bill Cowher. Bill Parcells. The ghost of Romeo Crennel? They'll all be equally disinterested.

Game 4: Iowa (+3) over WISCONSIN - Whatever. One good thing about the ALCS is our ears won't be subject to Chip Caray butchering every call. He's doing the NLCS. I've never heard him call a Braves regular season game (his full-time gig), so I don't know if he's like this all the time. Maybe he needs glasses. Maybe he just gets nervous in big games (maybe he should start dating Kate Hudson). The best way to describe Caray in the playoffs comes from Phil Mushnik of the New York Post, who likens Caray to "an interpreter who can speak with a French accent but doesn't know French."

Game 5: WEST VIRGINIA (-21) over Marshall - Thundering Herd haven't been the same since they let go of coach Matthew McConaughey. They don't get as many chicks, either.

Best coach Marshall's ever had. Alriiight, alriiiight, alriiiiiiiight.

Game 6: Southern California (-10) over NOTRE DAME - Notre Dame defense is bad. USC offense is decent. Irish haven't played a decent opponent yet, and are due to be blown off the field. This is the day.

Game 7: Virginia Tech (-3) over GEORGIA TECH -

Game 8: North Carolina State (+3) over BOSTON COLLEGE - Tom O'Brien returns. Boston College fails to rise to the challenge for the second straight week.

Game 9: ALABAMA (-17) over South Carolina - In tribute to the passing of Captain Lou Albano, Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier will walk the sidelines wearing Hawaiian shirts, hoop earrings and rubber bands stuck on their faces.

Game 10: Georgia (-7.5) over VANDERBILT - Georgia won't win because coach Mark Richt is too nice. At least that's what his critics are say. Would they rather have Tom Cable or Mike Locksley? And is punching out your assistant coach a new phenomenon or has this been going on for years? Cable and Locksley are doing it all wrong, anyway. Why throw hands behind closed doors at coaches' meetings? Forget the Knute Rockne speech. Why not rally your team at halftime by first berating the performance of said assistant coach, and then flooring him with a right cross? It might work, it might not. But I say if you're going to do it, make it count.

Game 11: Miami-Fla. (-14.5) over CENTRAL FLORIDA - Only a matter of time before UCF joins the Big East.
