I moved up to third place with a 10-9-1 Week 9. Now let's get above 50 percent for Week 10 ...

Tough games to pick this week:

• TCU (4) at Utah (6) +4.5. This season has been pretty wild, so remaining undefeated through Week 9 is impressive. Unfortunately, that comes to an end in Week 10 for the Horned Frogs or the Utes. The higher-ranked TCU is favored, but I'm pulling for the under dogs at home.
• Alabama (5) at LSU (12) +6. The Tide and Tigers both stand at 7-1. While the homefield advantage should help out LSU in this game, Alabama has been playing better and will come out the victor in this match-up.
• Missouri (14) at Texas Tech +4. I was pretty high on the Tigers last week, and they didn't live up to my expectations. They aren't favored by much in this game, and I think the Red Raiders will get the best of them.
