6-8 last week, got a bad hop or two or I could have been 10-4. 76-30 ytd. 71.7%
Kansas at Baylor: Baylor hasn't lived up to expectations, Kirk Herbstreit picked them as a playoff team this year. Kansas is pretty beat up and their QB may not play again this week so I'm going with the Bares 33-24
Iowa at Ohio State: Only a great fool would choose Iowa with their offensive offense, so I not being a great fool can clearly not choose the Hawkeyes. Buckeyes 31-17
Syracuse at Clemson: I haven't seen the Orange play so that handicaps me somewhat. I'm not horribly impressed with Clempson either. I really really want to pick the Cuse but there's this little niggling thought in the back of my mind that says don't do it. Clempson 28-24 *
Duke at Miami: Both teams showed signs of life last week but I think Miami at home wins this with a little better defense. Canes 30-24 *
West Virginia at Texas Tech: The officiating in Lubbock is worth ten points so I'm going to say the Red Raiders 41-31
Boston College at Wake Forest: BC is probably a little better than their record says but unless the Wake QB gets hurt I don't see enough stops for the Iggles to win. Deacons 38-23
Texas at Oklahoma State: I'm not really sold on State but Texass is a Jekyll and Hyde team as well. I'm going Da Horns 35-31 *
Ole Miss at LSU: Old Miss has had perhaps the softest schedule int CFB this year. LSU is improving and Death Valley is a hard place to win. We'll find out if the Rebel Black Bears Landsharks are for real or not. Old Miss 31-27 *
Purdue at Wisconsin: Purdue is the quintessential middle of the pack team this year. The Badgers offense is abysmal but they are playing at home and they're due to swell up on somebody one of the days. Boilers 28-21 *
Mississippi State at Alabama: On one hand I can see Rogers pick apart the Bama defense but on the other hand Bama seldom loses two in a row and the are at home with their own private referees. Bama in a close one 35-31
Texas A&M at South Carolina: I'm sure the SEC head office has already notified the refs and reminded them that A&M is more important to the league than Carolina. Faggies 27-23
Minnesota at Penn State: The Gophers had 180 net yds last week, Penn state had 268. I foresee and offensive explosion today. PSTATE 17-16
Kansas State at TCU: The Mildcats will slow the TCU offense but probably not enough. Toads 34-24
Bye Week at Arkansas. Hogs 51-50 as bye fumbles the snap on a two point conversion with 3 seconds left. This was btw the only stop the Hogs defense had all day
The little* on the end are games where I went against my better judgement
1)The definition of pass interference needs to be redefined, revamped, recycled and then rejected.
2) Words alone cannot describe how badly I detest formation and ineligible man downfield penalties. A good throttling or at least a tasing would probably show my feeling more appropriately.
3) The instant replay needs to be junked. Referees should be forced to up their game and be held to the same standard of performance they expect from the players.
4) Any player getting injured (real or faked) should have to sit out the remainder of that series.
5) The devil with diversity, all these announcers should have to pass a basic speaking English test before being given a job.
