3* San Jose State (+) over Stanford
San Jose State is a much improved team over the one that had just one win a year ago. First things first, they have the full complement of 85 scholarship players for the first time in ages, and that should really help as the season wears on - having healthy players! So, it is notable then that last year (when still early and thus they were healthy) they played Wisconsin tooth and nail in Camp Randall, losing by just 13 as 39' point dogs. This Spartans edition is much better than that one, with a vastly improved defense, four returning starters at the offensive skill positions, and a QB in Faulkner that has led his JC team to a national title and played fairly well in limited action for the Spartans last season. As for Stanford, yes they have Andrew Luck back, but he is really the only major player that returns from last year, and overall the Cardinal rates a -5.0 on our Off Season Plus/Minus scale...a very significant number talent wise, and note also that they have a new Head Coach, not the dynamic Harbaugh anymore. Series history shows that SJSU takes this game very seriously against "the rich uncle" of the region, as they are 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Stanford should win this game, but we see it coming by 14-21 points, so we will go with the big underdog here.

Oregon vs LSU
Pick: Oregon -3.5
Not sure which game the NCAA is more embarrassed about, this game or the September 17, Ohio State/Miami game, considering all 4 teams are currently under investigation. At one time it looked as though Oregon quarterback Thomas would be suspended, but instead it was LSU starting quarterback Jefferson that will miss the game. This, in addition to LSU wide receiver Shepard also being suspended and throwing in the fact your best running back (Ridley) left early for the NFL, leaves one to wonder how the Tigers will keep pace with the Ducks rapid scoring on the fast track in Arlington. Even though the line has gone up there is still value with Oregon.
