Week 7 Preview: Wednesday-Friday

WEDNESDAY
8:00 PM

Navy (3-2) @ Pittsburgh (2-3)
Navy's a bit of a Louisville situation, even if the offense isn't as strong as the Cardinals. If the defense shows up, they can win. If it doesn't, they'll lose. I'll still give the Midshipmen the benefit of the doubt, since I'm not sure if Pit'll do much either way - Panthers QB Pat Bostick is coming along, but he's been a work in progress.
My Pick: Navy
Confidence (out of 5): 1



THURSDAY
7:30 PM

#24 Florida State (4-1) @ Wake Forest (3-2)
FSU's a solid team, and obviously talented. Wake wasn't quite as good as their record last year, but they're still a dangerous team with some athletes, such as RB/WR Kenneth Moore. The Noles defense was good enough against Alabama two weeks ago that I think they'll shut Wake down; an upset isn't completely out of the question, though.
My Pick: Florida State
Confidence: 3



FRIDAY
8:00 PM

Hawaii (6-0) @ San Jose State (3-3)
It's a Hawaii game - the Warriors will score a crazy amount of points, and could give up just as many at any moment. SJSU seems to have regressed from last year, even if they'll be able to beat up on some weaker WAC teams to get to 6-6, but they do have a very good QB in Adam Tafralis, which should serve them well in a shootout. Hawaii has the better offense, but if it falters, SJSU's offense is good enough to eke out a win.
My Pick: Hawaii
Confidence: 2
