Pretend plays for this week:
Maryland +14.5
Ohio State -4
South Carolina/Kentucky OVER 54.5
Florida -7
NC State -7
Texas A&M -3.5
Arkansas +3.5
Again this is just a log to see my handicapping skills

Maryland always plays Clemson well [I'm a huge Clemson fan], they are coming off a bye week and they haven't lost in Death Valley since 04. Clemson will likely win by 10. 27-17 is my guess
OSU has a significant edge in talent I like them -4
I follow South Carolina very closely. This will be a shootout. USC jr. won 28-26 last year at Home, their offense is much better and their D is much worse this year. I see the total ending up around 60 or more.
I can't see Florida getting a 3rd loss in the SEC this early against MSU of all teams. I think they'll win by 14-17.
NC State is much better than ECU, they should win by double digits.
TAMU has lost two close games in a row, this is near a must win for them, they are at home, Missou hasn't beaten anyone.
Arkansas vs. Auburn is a toss up. All Auburn games seem to be decided by a field goal so Arky +3.5 should do the trick.

What motives do you have for these plays this week. It may help to gauge whether you are good at it by having some basis to draw upon, perhaps improve upon. Are you looking at stats, matchups, rankings, injuries, coin flip, etc?

I must say I think there was a better board than the picks you've listed. The only one I like on your sheet is Oklahoma, but I didn't even like that enough to lay on. No offense.
