are referred to), they are always spoken of as “the flood,” “the water,” or “the waters of the flood,” never as “the deep.” This complete covering of the planet by “the deep” extended even to covering the mountains (6b), a poetic word picture emphasizing that the entire land surface of the world was covered by “the deep” at this point. This is entirely consistent with our observation that Psalm 104 is mirroring Genesis 1, and has nothing to do with the Flood.In Ps. 104:7 the Psalmist moves on to the next stage, mirroring Genesis 1:9–10—the exposing of the dry land. “At thy rebuke they fled” is a poetic way of restating Genesis 1:9, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear.” God commands the primeval waters covering the planet to move so the dry earth can be exposed. To do so, He deepens a hollow on the surface of Planet Earth so the waters have a place to “gather” to. “The mountains rose; the valleys sank down” (8a) is thus best understood as a poetic way of expressing these geophysical changes, with no reference to the judging Flood of Genesis 6–8 intended. The use of the word “establish” in 8b hearkens back to Job 38, where the Lord was portrayed as a master builder doing planning, surveying and foundation-laying for the grand project of constructing the Earth.In addition, as seen in the various English translations above, there are solid contextual reasons to view the mention of mountains and valleys as parenthetical details to a primary emphasis in Psalm 104:6–9 on the moving of the primeval waters. The understanding that the antecedent of the clause in 104:8b, “unto the place which thou hast founded for them,” is not the valleys of 8a, but the fleeing waters of 7a. Verses 7a and 8b together constitute a completed thought—“at Your rebuke, the waters fled...to the place You established for them”—with 7b and 8a serving as minor clauses. Thus, the main focus if verses 6–9 is all about elaborating on Genesis 1:9.Finally, 104:9 has an even closer connection to Job. When the Psalmist wrote, “Thou didst set a boundary that they [the waters] may not pass over; that they may not return to cover the earth,” he parallels God’s words in Job 38:10:And I placed boundaries on it [“it” being the sea, referred to in verse 8],And I set a bolt and doors,And I said, “Thus far you shall come, but no farther;And here shall your proud waves stop.”Altogether, I think we can see that the primarily poetic nature of Psalm 104, its praise theme, plus the clear echoes of Genesis 1 and Job 38, points to Psalm 104 having no reference to the Flood, no mid-course change of context at verse 6. It is entirely a work of praise to God for His provision in Creation, including setting the bounds that kept the sea in its place. The mentions of mountains and valleys are poetic equivalents for the raising of the primordial continent out of the world sea as its waters were “gathered together” into the hollows He established for them.Proverbs 8:29, which speaks of the setting of the boundary of the sea, also sheds tremendous light on the meaning of Psalm 104:9, “Thou didst set a boundary that they may not pass over.” “They” in this verse must refer to the primeval waters of the Creation. The antecedent of “they” in 104:9 is found in 104:6, where the two parts of the verse are an example of Hebrew poetic parallelism. In 6a, the primeval sea is first called “the deep” that covered the earth; in 6b, the same primeval sea is called “the waters [which] were standing above the mountains.” Both parts of verse 6 are saying the same thing, just in different ways. It is because these boundaries are set on the primeval waters of the world sea, that “they may not return to cover the earth.” Verse 9b, although it easily brings to mind God’s promise to never again send a worldwide Flood, IN CONTEXT does not refer to the Flood, but only to the setting of bounds on the sea. So once again, applying the principles of systematic theology and allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture indicates that the poetic language of Psalm 104 is not to be understood as referring to the Flood.Tying it All TogetherIn this study we have observed that the passages in Job 38 and Proverbs 8, as in Jeremiah 5, all speak of “boundaries on the sea” in remarkably similar terms, strengthening the case that they all have the Creation in view. Let’s see all of these verses together:Job 38:10And I placed boundaries [choq] on it [antecedent yam, v. 8],And I set a bolt and doors,And I said, “Thus far you shall come, but no farther;And here shall your proud waves stop.”Prov. 8:29When He set for the sea [yam] its boundary [choq]So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth...Jeremiah 5:22For I have placed the sand as a boundary [g?buwl] for the sea [yam],



Amenhotep II and the Historicity of the Exodus Pharaoh
Tags: amenhotep, exodus, hatshepsut, moses, thutmosis, rameses, 1 kings 6, plagues, amarna, memphis stela, karnak stela, apiru, hazor--> I. INTRODUCTIONFew disciplines related to Biblical inerrancy are scrutinized more intensely than historicity. Accordingly, questioning the Bible’s historicity is nothing new to Biblical studies, as evidenced by Ladd’s remark, “It is the author’s hope that the reader may be helped to understand that the authority of the Word of God is not dependent upon infallible certainty in all matters of history and criticism.”1 A more extreme recent trend, popular in the study of ancient Israel’s storied past, is a revisionistic version of Biblical history.2 A prime example is seen in the words of Finkelstein, who speaks of “the rise of the true national state in Judah [in the eighth century BC]. . . . That national state produced a historical saga so powerful that it led Biblical historians and archaeologists alike to recreate its mythical past—from stones and potsherds.”3 Such attacks on the inerrancy of the Bible’s historicity necessitate a reasoned defense of its historical accuracy. As Lindsell writes, “When inerrancy is lost, it is palpably easy to drift into a mood in which the historicity of Scripture along with inerrancy is lost.”4 The danger of compromising the inerrancy of Biblical historicity became vivid to the present writer when he learned that a transfer student who entered the seminary where he teaches was taught in another theological institution that Biblical inerrancy does not even extend into the realm of history. Such a position is unacceptable, and it must be opposed rigorously. The present work examines the trustworthiness of Biblical history by using the Hebrew exodus from Egypt (hereinafter, simply “exodus”) as a test case. More specifically, an examination of the exodus-pharaoh’s life will reveal whether Biblical history can be harmonized and synchronized with Egyptian hilearn french

Before discussing the theme of primeval protohistory,

I should like to turn our attention to the other literary aspect, namely the structure of Genesis 1–11 as a whole.Literary Structure. Not only does comparative evidence point to the adequacy of treating both the Creation and the Flood together as a unified literary work, but the recent emphasis on the holistic approach8 to “the text in its final form”9 or “the text as it stands” (Oden 1981: 211) leads us to investigate the literary theme and structure of Genesis 1–11 as a whole. Before one seeks the theme of Genesis 1–11, one must decide its structure. For this, the toledot*-formula of Genesis is indicative of the narrative structure in the mind of the author/editor. Thompson’s recent study of the toledot-structure of Genesis is in this regard very important, though his view of a sharp break between Genesis 1–4 and Genesis 5ff. (“The Book of the Toledoth of Adam”) is rather overemphasized (1987: chap. 3). Thompson’s view was most recently challenged by Hess, who argued that “the literary form of Genesis 1–2 is intended to parallel the genealogical doublets of chaps. 4–5 and 10–11” (1990: 150, n. 23).The major problem in deciding the theme and structure of Genesis 1–11 is determining the precise terminus of the “primeval history.” The following suggestions have been made.Creation ­> Flood (1:1–9:29). In the light of the literary structure of “Creation-Rebellion-Flood” in the “Atra-Hasis Epic,” some scholars have suggested that the primeval history in Genesis stretches from the creation story through the end of the Flood story, namely Genesis 1–9, rather than Genesis 1–11.10 Since the end of chap. 9 follows up the description of Noah in 5:31 and completes the full description of him in the same manner that the other nine patriarchs are described in chap. 5, it is likely that the Flood story in chaps. 6–9 is meant to be a part of a larger literary unit that begins at 5:1, that is, “The Book of the Toledot of Adam.” The Flood story is, so to speak, a detailed description of Noah and his life inserted into the framework of the genealogy of Genesis 5.11Creation ­> Babel (1:1–11:9). J.M. Sasson recently explained the Tower of Babel story as “a clue to the redactional structuring” of Genesis 1–11. According to him, Genesis 1:1–11:9 is divided into two parts, “from Creation to Noah (10 generations)” and “from the Flood to Abram (10 generations)”; just as the Nephilim story (6:1–8) serves as a concluding remark for the first part, the Babel story (11:1–9) comes at the end of the second part (1994: 456). This division at the end of 6:8 accords with the Biblical toledot-structure; up to that verse the section is “The Book of the Toledot of Adam,” while the section after 6:9 is “The Toledot of Noah.” Coats also thinks that the primeval saga ends with the tale about the tower, since the tale “binds off the series of narratives about the people of the world” (1983: 36). For a different reason, Oden also considers the conclusion of the primeval history to be Genesis 11:1–9, where “human aspirations to divine status are so transparent” (1981: 211).However, the end of the second part, 11:9, does not accord with the end of “The Toledot of Noah” (9:29), though 6:8 does accord with the end of “The Toledot of Adam.” Also, in Sasson’s scheme, the reason for placing Abram in the tenth generation is not clearly demonstrated, since his structure lacks both the genealogical list (11:10–26) and the toledot of Terah (11:27ff.), which refer to Abram himself. Before these sections Abram’s name does not even appear.Creation ­> Terah (1:1–11:26).12 Some recognize the “Creation-list Flood-list” pattern in Genesis 1–11 and note that just as Noah is the tenth generation from Adam in the first list, the genealogy in Genesis 5:1–32, so Abram is the tenth generation from Noah in the second list (11:10–26). According to Malamat, the ante-and postdiluvian lines (i.e., of Adam and of Shem, respectively), symmetrically arranged to a ten-generation depth, are undoubtedly the product of intentional harmonization and in imitation of the concrete genealogical model (1994:188). Thus the ten-generation scheme of the ancient Near Eastern genealogies might be taken as a formulaic pattern for the Genesis account of the primeval history.Nevertheless, in the toledot of Shem, 11:10–26, there are only nine patriarchs listed with a full description, though Abram, the tenth one, is referred to as one of the Terah’s sons. Also, strictly speaking, the genealogy in Genesis 11:10–26 does not follow the same pattern as that in Genesis 5. In fact, in the second list there is no description of the death of the patriarchs, while all ten individuals of the first list have after the life span the final comment, “and he died” (cf. 9:29 for Noah) or “and he was not” (v. 24 for Enoch).Creation ­> Abram (1:1–11:32). The phrase and he died appears together with the life-span for the description of Terah in 11:32 for the first time since it appeared with Noah in 9:29. This might well suggest that 11:32 is the terminus of the primeval history. This position seems to be supported by Y.T. Radday’s analysis of Genesis based on the computerized statistics, according to which Genesis 5:1–32 and 11:10–32 stand out as “very distinct” within Genesis.13 Thompson notes that 11:27–32 is a genealogical entry that is expanded with an extended narrative and serves with 11:10–26 as a “link” between the tradition of Genesis 1:1–11:9 and the traditions about Abra(ha)m (Thompson 1987: 83).Creation ­> Abraham’s Call (1:1–12:3). According to von Rad, The story of the Tower of Babel ends without grace, and therefore ...the main question which the primeval history raises for the reader is that of the further relationship of God to the nations (1962:1.163). Therefore, the end of the Biblical primeval history is ... not the story of the Tower of Babel; it is the call of Abraham in Genesis. XII. 1–3: indeed, because of this welding of primeval history and saving history, the whole of Israel’s saving history is properly to be understood with reference to the unsolved problem of Jahweh’s relationship to the nations (1962: 164).14 Thus, von Rad set the terminus of the primeval history at Genesis 12:3 for theological reasons.However, from the literary point of view, Genesis 12:1–3 is better taken as a “link” between Genesis 1–11 and the following story of the patriarchs. This is what Parunak calls a “transitional technique” A/aB, which is used to link the Patriarchal story (B) with the primeval history (A), by recapitulating the universal relationship of God with the nations at the beginning (a) of the new section, in this case, 12:1ff. (B)(1983).Thus, Genesis 1–11 seems to have been written with the historical purpose of introducing Abram on the stage, and hence its narrative continues "from the stories of origins on down into later times, that is, to the present, the time when the narrative came into being."Hence Miller concludes: "The sense of a single story from the creation to the present may have existed in Mesopotamia as well as Israel" (1994:151).Kitchen, who believes that "each component in the population of early second millennium Mesopotamia (Sumerians, Babylonians, Western Semites) contributed its formulation of inherited traditions", namely a common literary heritage, concludes that "whenever it reached its present form within the entire book of Genesis, that unit Genesis 1–11 best finds its literary origins in the early second millennium BC" (1977: 35).

reads like a page-turning detective novel.I said in the title of this article, the "rediscovery" of the so-called tomb of Jesus' family

d from the dead, then His claim to be God manifest in human flesh would be true, and people should trust the Lord Jesus as their Savior and then follow Him as they seek to live by His principles and teachings. The Discovery of the Ossuaries In June of 1967, the city of Jerusalem was reunified after the Six Day War. Since then there has been extensive building activity in the suburbs surrounding Jerusalem. On occasion, building contractors would come across ancient burials of the First and Second Temple periods and other archaeological remains. The contractors had a decision to make: Do the burials and other archaeological remains get reported to the Department of Antiquities, or do they get blown up or plowed under? Unfortunately, many were not reported and were destroyed.In March of 1980, a bulldozer exposed part of a Second Temple burial cave on Dov Gruner Street in the neighborhood of East Talpiyot, south of the Old City of Jerusalem. Fortunately, this one was reported to the Department of Antiquities and a salvage excavation took place. A double-chambered loculi and arcosolia tomb was excavated by Yosef Gath (permit number 938), with the help of Amos Kloner and Eliot Braun. Shimon Gibson drew the architectural plans of the burial cave. This excavation was conducted from March 28 to April 14, 1980. The reason for the lengthy excavation was that there was over a meter of terra rosa soil in the tomb. This burial cave contained ten ossuaries, six of which had inscriptions bearing the names of individuals on them, and pottery from the Herodian period.An initial report of this important discovery was first published in Hebrew by Yosef Gath in the Israel Antiquities Authority’s (IAA) periodical, Hadashot Arkheologiyot (1981: 24-25), so it was not readily available to the English-speaking world. The ossuaries were not published in English until a catalogue of ossuaries in the collection of the State of Israel was released in 1994 (Rahmani 1994a: 222-224). In this catalogue, the nine ossuaries are numbered 701 to 709; the 10th ossuary, a plain broken one, was not published (1994a: 222b). The burial cave was finally published in English by Amos Kloner, one of the excavators of the cave, in the IAA publication ‘Atiqot 29 (1996) 15-22. Kloner also documented the tomb in his archaeological survey of the southern sector of Jerusalem (2000: 84*, 136; designated [106] 76.2-8/3). In a reworking and updating of his 1980 doctoral dissertation from Hebrew University, Kloner again published the Talpiyot tomb in a book entitled The Necropolis of Jerusalem in the Second Temple Period, this time in Hebrew (Kloner and Boaz 2003: 207, 208).Ossuaries and Secondary BurialsDuring the Second Temple period, Jewish burials included stone objects called ossuaries. These limestone boxes contained the bones of a deceased person after the rite of secondary burial was completed, about a year after the death of the individual (Rahmani 1994b: 191-205). In the newspaper articles and blogs concerning the Talpiyot tomb, sometimes the ossuaries are called coffins, chests, caskets, etc. This article will refer to them by their technical name, ossuaries.It would be helpful if the Jewish burial practices were described in order to put this discussion into proper perspective. When a Jewish person died during the 1st century AD, they were usually buried in a rock-hewn tomb or a trench in the ground before sundown, or at least within 24 hours of death. The only exception was the Sabbath: in this case, burial took place after sundown.The dead body would be left to decompose. The family would have a seven-day period of mourning called shiva. The initial mourning period was followed by a less intense period of mourning for thirty days called shloshim. However, the entire mourning period was not over until the body had decomposed, usually about a year later. The Jerusalem Talmud states: “When the flesh had wasted away, the bones were collected and placed in chests (ossuaries). On that day (the son) mourned, but the following day he was glad, because his forebears rested from judgment (Moed Qatan 1:5).



In Tractate Semahot (“Mourning”) it states
Rabbi Eleazer bar Zadok said: ‘Thus spoke father at the time of his death: “My son, bury me at first in a fosse. In the course of time, collect my bones and put them in an ossuary; but do not gather them with your own hands”’” (12:9; Zlotnick 1966:82). This practice of gathering the bones and placing them in ossuaries was called ossilegium (Rahmani 1994b: 53-55).The Ossuaries of the East Talpiyot TombTen ossuaries were found in the Talpiyot tomb, six of which had inscriptions. Let us examine the six inscriptions. The first ossuary was given the registration number IAA 80-500 by the Department of Antiquities. Rahmani listed it as 701 in his catalogue of ossuaries in the State of Israel collection (1994a: 222b, 223a). This ossuary was decorated and had an inscription in Greek with the name “Mariamene, who is (also called) Mara” on it (Rahmani 1994a: 222b). Kloner points out: “The name Mariamene [is] a variant of the name…(Miriam, Maryam) and…(Marya). [This English Rosetta Stone

Enrolled Agent Training Uncovers Situations Where IRS May Reduce InterestBy: Sawyer Adams .... Click author's name to view profile and articles!!!Retargeting by ChangoTweet In addition to penalties, a taxpayer may owe interest on an unpaid tax debt. Interest accrues until the taxpayer pays the tax debt in full. There are several circumstances where the IRS will reduce or even eliminate the interest owed. Of course, it will depend on the circumstances of the case.Seeking relief from improperly assessed interestA taxpayer may seek relief if the IRS assesses interest for periods during which interest should have been suspended because the IRS did not mail a notice in a timely manner. If the taxpayer believes that the IRS assessed interest with respect to a period during which interest should have been suspended, submit Form 843, writing "Section 6404(g) Notification" at the top of the form, with the IRS Service Center where the return was filed. The IRS will review the Form 843 and notify the taxpayer whether or not interest will be abated. If the IRS does not abate interest, the taxpayer may pay the disputed interest assessment and file a claim for refund. If that claim is denied or not acted upon within 6 months from the date filed, the taxpayer may file a suit for a refund in United States District Court or in the United States Court of Federal Claims.Abatement of interestThe IRS may abate (reduce) the amount of interest owed if the interest is due to an unreasonable error or delay by an IRS officer or employee in performing a:Ministerial act - This is a procedural or mechanical act, not involving the exercise of judgment or discretion, during the processing of a case after all prerequisites (for example, conferences and review by supervisors) have taken place. A decision concerning the proper application of federal tax law (or other federal or state law) is not a ministerial act.Managerial act - This is an administrative act during the processing of a case that involves the loss of records or the exercise of judgment or discretion concerning the management of personnel. A decision concerning the proper application of law is not a managerial act.Only the amount of interest on ine, estate, gift, generation skipping, and certain excise taxes may be reduced. The amount of interest will not be reduced if the taxpayer or anyone related to the taxpayer contributed significantly to the error or delay. The interest is reduced only if the error or delay happened after the IRS contacted the taxpayer in writing about the deficiency or payment on which the interest is based. An audit notification letter is such a contact. Use Form 843 to claim a refund or request an abatement of certain taxes, interest, penalties, and additions to tax.Reasonable CauseUnder certain situations, a taxpayer may appeal penalties assessed against him by the IRS for non-pliance with the tax laws. These involve the use of the reasonable cause criteria. Reasonable cause involves situations that are beyond one's control after exercising normal care and prudence. Most of the time, they involve death, serious illness, unavoidable absences, absence of needed records, and reliance on written advice from the IRS or tax professional. Death - This is the death (usually sudden) of a spouse, children, parents, grandparents or siblings, this may include the tax preparer (or a member of the immediate family) or any individual on whom the taxpayer relies for data needed to prepare the return.Serious Illness - Major and (usually) unexpected illness of the individuals listed directly above. This rarely applies to sources of return information.Unavoidable Absences - This is related to absences of the taxpayer (or spouse), very rarely to the taxpayer's preparer, and never to sources of information. Situations include items such as incarceration, natural disasters, military deployment, and emergency hospitalization.Inability to Obtain Needed Records - The provider of information crucial to the preparation of the return did not provide it by the date required by law, and the taxpayer has sufficient records to support unsuccessful attempts to secure the information in order to file in a timely manner. The taxpayer must also have attempted to obtain the records from any alternative sources without success; for example, if the taxpayer did not receive a W-2, he could prepare a substitute W-2 from the year-end pay stub.Reliance on advice - If the actions taken as a direct result of, and in pliance with, written instruction from the IRS (or the oral or written advice of a tax professional) leads to the late filing andor late payment of taxes, there are grounds for relief from the resulting penalties.If the prospect of municating with the IRS on your own behalf does not sound pleasant, you can enlist the help of a tax professional such an Enrolled Agent, CPA, or Tax Attorney. Which one is right for you? That depends on your individual circumstances. Any of the aforementioned professionals are able to represent you before the IRS. Both the CPA exam and bar exam are longer and more difficult that the IRS Enrolled Agent Exam. This however, does not make CPAs or Attorneys more qualified than Enrolled Agents when representing taxpayers. An enrolled agent is a specialist in taxation and representing taxpayers before the IRS. Because of this specialization, it is not unmon for CPAs or Attorneys to also bee enrolled agent practitioners. To bee an enrolled agent, the professional must pass the three-part EA exam, also know as the IRS Special Enrollment Exam.Article Source: abcarticledirectoryFast Forward Academy is a leading publisher of education for those looking to bee enrolled agent practitioners.

Promote The Right Affiliate Products For Big BucksBy: Malia Wofford .... Click author's name to view profile and articles!!!Retargeting by ChangoTweet It doesn't matter how you dress your website or how effective your marketing strategy is. If you don't offer affiliate products that people want, you won't be making sales. Sometimes you hear so much about making money with affiliate products that you overlook the basic requirements that go along with any successful business, mainly that it all starts with a product that has a strong demand. There must be a demand for your Hockey Jersey
chosen products, and there are a few ways you can measure the potential demand of a given product. The Right Stuff.The first and foremost measure of a product that will sell is that it very simply must fill a need. After you learn all about the flashiness and freshness of whatever product you're looking over, or how great of a commission you will make from it-you have to ask yourself: Does this product fill a need? Usually, though, it's not good enough to just ask yourself a question. It usually requires a bit of research on your part. Are there similar products out there? Does this industry do well online? That is, if you expect most of your sales to be generated from the Internet. A little bit of research can end in big returns after you choose the right products to promote. Another factor in determining a product's salability is its originality. After you judge a product to have a high demand and that it can sell over the Internet, your job's not over. You have to look at that product in comparison to others like it. Are there any others like it? Is this one much different from them? Is this one better? Your product needs to stand out. If it's just like everything else you can expect it to get lost in the crowd of other similar products that have overly saturated the market. Make sure your product has a good dose of originality. Send Out Word.Once you've made your educated, informed decision about which products to get behind, your task is to market them, to promote them to the right group of people. For example, you can employ tactics offered by Google such as AdSense. It's a program where you place Google ads on your site, and each time a visitor clicks on one of those ads, you earn a small profit. You can place an ad for your own affiliate product in the list of Google ads, which can give credibility in the eyes of visitors who see it as a paid ad, rather than another site listed in the search engines. You also might use Google AdWords. This is a form of pay per click marketing where you choose certain keywords. Then, you bid on how much you'd be willing to pay Google for each person who clicks on your ad, which is displayed on the search engine when people type in those keywords. With testing, PPC Marketing can be very effective. On the other hand, if you want to save yourself some advertising dollars you will learn and Boston Bruins jersey
employ a strategic search engine optimization campaign on your website. You can learn the techniques from a book and then it costs you nothing to implement them. You can get your site ranked so high on the search engines under certain keywords that you won't need to use AdWords or any PPC Marketing Campaign.The key to a successful affiliate-based website is first to choose the right products that will sell, and then to promote them effectively until your income steadily rises. You can use SEO techniques, blogs, or even MySpace to cut down your expenses. In the end, who knows?

24 Jan 11 College Football Pick Washington State at UCLA 10-2-10

Ronald Martinez/Getty ImagesWashington State Cougars at UCLA Bruins (-27)Saturday October 2, 2010 3:30 PM ESTUCLA after an 0-2 start has bounced back with 2 straight wins over ranked opponents. On the other hand, Washington State is 1-3. The Cougars last week got smoked by the 20th ranked USC Trojans.UCLA shocked just about everyone with a victory at Texas. A big part of that has been their 20th ranked rushing offense lead by Sophomore RB Jonathan Franklin who has 409 yards with 4 TDs. The big question for the Bruins is whether or not QB Kevin Prince will play in this game. Prince has said the knee feels great but there is room for worry. The defense for the Bruins has really stood out only allowing 25 total points in the last two weeks vs ranked opponents. Nothing has went right for Baltimore Ravens jersey
the Cougars and they are ranked outside the top 100 in points for (19.3) and points against (43) a game. The one bright spot has been Sophomore QB Jeff Tuel who has thrown for 922 yards with 6 TDs and 4 Ints.With football picks, you always have to go with the hot team. Right now I wouldndoubt that UCLA is the hottest team in the country. They have been amazing and they should have a great reception back at home vs a Pac-10 opponent. Even without Prince, this game is going to be a blowout. The only question is by how many points.

the season, with apologies to several fans across the country, there are two teams that are clearly leading the packOhio State and Alabama. Boise State, TCU, Oregon, and Nebraska are knocking on the door.Of course, there will be several upsets between now and the end of the season. Arkansas hopes to be a part of the upset season with one of its own this week.On the season, we are 19-6. Hopefully, we wonfall prey to upsets this week.No. 19 Miami (1-1) at Pittsburgh (1-1)Miami head coach Randy Shannon closed the doors to the locker room after the Canes' 36-24 loss to Ohio State to let his boys know that they blew a golden opportunity.Ive never been a guy that just goes off, Shannon said. But they needed it at that time because I was frustrated.Pittsburgh has had its share of frustration with players arrested for alcohol-related incidents, losing to DE star Greg Romeus for at least six weeks to injury and seeing Dion Lewis struggle running the ball with 105 yards and 32 carriers.Prediction: The Canes should have enough speed on defense to make the Panthers one-dimensional. Miami 28-21.UCLA (1-2) at No. 7 Texas (3-0)UCLA is a difficult team to figure out. Against Stanford two weeks ago, the Bruins had only 233 yards of offense and suffered a humiliating 35-0 loss. This past week, UCLA rebounded with a convincing 31-13 win over No. 23 Houston.Texas has struggled on the offensive end putting up points, but they know that they are a defensive team that is tough to run against. The Texas run defense in the first three games of the season has given up only 128 rushing yards. Texas Tech had negative 14 rushing yards against the Longhorns.Prediction: More questions than answers for coach Rick Neuheisel as the Longhorns win decisively, 35-10.No. 1 Alabama (3-0) at No. 10 Arkansas (3-0)This is the marquee game of the week as the Razorbacks seek to stake their claim for the BCS National Championship. Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett looked impressive in leading the Hogs in a 31-24 win over Georgia as he threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns.Arkansas caught a break facing Georgia without star receiver A.J. Green. This week the Hogs will not be as lucky as the Crimson Tide now appears to be at full strength with DT Marcell Dareus and Heisman Trophy Winner and RB Mark Ingram back in the lineup.Prediction: Alabama wins 31-20.Temple (3-0) at No. 23 Penn State (3-0)The Owls are 3-0 for the first time since 1979 and are coming off a solid 30-16 win over Connecticut. Could Temple double the number of bowl appearances in school history by going to its second consecutive bowl game this year?Penn State rebounded nicely after its first loss of the season with a 24-0 win over Kent State, but all is not smiles in Happy Valley. The biggest question mark for the Nittany Lions is their running game. Senior Evan Royster has now gone over 3,000 yards in his career, but he has yet to rush for more than 40 yards in a game this season.Prediction: Penn State should beat Temple 31-13, but expect a few anxious moments for Paterno.Kentucky (3-0) at No. 9 Florida (3-0)Former Wildcat assistant coach and wide receiver Joker Phillips was named Kentucky's head coach on January 6, 2010. Phillips is therefore well aware of how Kentucky has struggled against Florida. In the last two meetings between the teams, Florida has outscored Kentucky 104-12. Phillips is also aware of how the fortunes of the Wildcats have changed, as Kentucky has gone to four straight bowl games, a school record, and will likely go to another bowl game this year.PredictionL Kentucky is a two-touchdown underdog, but something doesnseem quite right with Florida.

team that appears to get up for the big game and then play to the level of its competition when the spotlight is not on. The Sooners drilled No. 17 Florida State by 30 points but just got by Utah State and Air Force by a combined 10 points. The question in this game is whether the Sooners in their first road game will crack the whip and win going away, or will the Bearcats hang around to the very end becomes Oklahoma has lapses of disinterest.Does Coach Spurrier Have One More SEC Title Run in him?Mike Zarrilli/Getty ImagesPrediction: Coach Stoops should have everybodyattention after the close call against Air Force. Oklahoma 41-17 over Cincinnati.No. 12 South Carolina (3-0) v. No. 17 Auburn (3-0)South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier was not happy with his teamperformance as they needed an 80-yard interception touchdown with 6:38 in the fourth quarter to settle the game against Furman 38-19. We were a little careless at times, Spurrier said. But maybe it was just one game. Maybe we can get in a game with Auburn and play as smart as we can.Auburn beat Mississippi State 17-14 two weeks ago, survived against Clemson 27-24 in overtime last week, and they appear to be headed for their third straight knockdown, drag out fight this week.Prediction: Auburn becomes the cardiac kids of the 2010 football season in beating South Carolina 28-27.No. 24 Oregon State (1-1) at No. 3 Boise State (2-0)The Beavers struggled in defeating Louisville 35-28 and needed an interception by James Dockery to seal the deal. The Cardinals racked up 453 yards of total offense against Oregon State. If the Beavers are going to upset the Broncos, they will have to play better defense.West Virginia Needs Noel Devine to Come Up Big Against LSUJed Jacobsohn/Getty ImagesTCU passing Boise State in the final BCS poll is a distinct possibility because of their schedules, so it will be interesting to see how aggressively Boise State plays against Oregon State.Prediction: Boise State needs a big win to recapture some first place votes it has lost the past two weeks, Broncos 35-13 over the Beavers to keep their BCS Championship hopes alive.No. 22 West Virginia at No. 15 LSUWest Virginia, the standard bearer for the Big East, will have its hands full against the Tigers in Baton Rouge. Fortunately, Reebok New York Giants #27 Brandon Jacobs Realtree camo Jersey
the Mountaineers appear to have a truly balanced offensive attack with Noel Devine running the ball and Geno Smith throwing the ball. LSUoffense has struggled to sustain long drives. The Tigers defense, however, has been stout in creating turnovers and winning the battle of field position to give their offense a short field to work with to get into scoring position.Prediction: The Mountaineers will have trouble picking up the blitz in a low scoring game as LSU wins 21-13.No. 5 Oregon at Arizona StateThe Ducks are putting up ridiculous numbers on the season as they averaging 63 points a game while allowing less than five points to be scored against them. Oregon is averaging more than 380 yards rushing the ball a game.The Sun Devils almost pulled off an impressive road upset last week against No. 11 Wisconsin, ultimately falling 20-19. Quarterback Steven Threet has done a good job mixing things up and the running game has become balanced ensuring that Arizona State has a much better season than 2009.Prediction: The Sun Devils will keep it close until halftime, but Oregon will then pull away in the second half 35-17.
