Mad Money With Snuffy P. Smith: Week 4

BUY

Florida 3-0
Last Week: W 59-20 vs. Tennessee
I have been skeptical of Tim Tebow up until this point. He is for real and the Urban Meyer has the Gators primed for another run at the national championship. Florida will travel to Baton Rouge on Oct. 6th in what will easily be the game of the year. These teams will play each other again in Atlanta, so a loss in October will not hurt very much.

Michigan 1-2
Last Week: W 38-0 vs. Notre Dame
The Wolverines finally played up to their potential. I know Notre Dame sucks this year, but all Michigan needed was a shot in the arm. They will not lose again until they play Ohio State. Lloyd Carr's future will rest on the outcome of that game.

HOLD

Boston College 3-0
Last Week: W 24-10 at Georgia Tech
Matt Ryan is one of the best QBs in the nation, thanks in large part to an outstanding OL. The defense did shut down Tech, but I think the Jackets shut down themselves on offense. Tashard Choice, one of the best RBs in the nation, only carried the ball 11 times. BC will be 7-0 when they travel to Virginia Tech and will have to travel to Maryland and Clemson after that, not to mention a home date with Miami to end the regular season.

Kentucky 3-0
Last Week: W 40-34 vs. Louisville
The Wildcats have yet to face a comptent defense this season. With Arkansas, South Carolina, LSU, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee left on the schedule, Kentucky will be fortunate to win 6 games this year.

SELL

UCLA 2-1
Last Week: L 6-44 at Utah
The Bruins returned all 11 starters from a defense that shut down Southern Cal last year. Giving up 44 to Utah tells me their performance against the Trojans was a fluke. UCLA will probably upset a team or two and lose to a couple teams they shouldn't, en route to a low-level bowl game.

Wisconsin 3-0
Last Week: W 45-31 vs. The Citadel
The Badgers, like UCLA were supposed to be dark-horse national title contenders. However, Wisconsin has had two straight sub-par performances against UNLV and The Citadel and will likely finish 4th in the Big 10/11 behind Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State.

Where do I go to buy and sell these things?

Keller's Flea Market. They have everything. I once bought a Bonnie Blue flag from there during my "rebel" days. Joe, on that same trip, bought a set of Ginsu knives.

For $2.00.
