Wow. This will be my 100th entry on speaktherights.com. Time flies under all circumstances.
This is the final full week of the 2014 College Football regular season. The record of picks so far is 99 winners and 31 losers. My biggest faux pas is being so stubborn I refuse to pick against some of my favorites. I mix picks with hopes and that is not always a good thing. As I said before, I would never bet on football games. Therefore, I can do as I darn please with my picks and face the music…regardless of the last tune.
RIVALRY WEEK…
This is the weekend of great rivalries.
Ohio State beats Michigan…This game has lost some shine since the Michigan team has struggled of late.
Purdue beats Indiana…The Old Oaken Bucket game is the Stinker Bowl. These two teams are bad. They have one conference win between them. I had four tickets to this game and had a hard time giving them away.
Kentucky beats Louisville…Don’t ask me why. Just a feeling. The Notre Dame win will be hard to come down from for the Cards. The Cats are hungry.
Ole Miss beats Mississippi State…I refuse to pick the Bell Ringers and I refuse to shy away from this pick. Hotty Toddy!
Alabama beats Auburn…This is a classic. The Iron Bowl is a happening like no other in college football. There is a reason why UAB is thinking about dropping their football team. This game. These teams.
USC beats Notre Dame…In what is my personal favorite rivalry game of the all, this game brings back so many memories of Thanksgiving Weekend of days gone by. Great memories. I am back on Dubarry Lane in Jackson, Mississippi at Uncle Durwood and Aunt Barbara’s house each time I so much as think about this game. That is enough to make it my favorite rivalry.
Washington State beats Washington…This is a long shot. I just have a hard time doubting Mike Leach when they need it most.
Oregon beats Oregon State…Ducks and Beavers…I may watch a few minuted and try to feign interest.
Florida State beats Florida…This is a game I would love to miss my pick on. Go Gators.
Georgia beats Georgia Tech….Another classic game. I think Georgia has a good team that has been through too much turmoil than they deserve.
Enjoy the weekend.
Speak the rights.
