Stop the hour-glass. Week 8 means we over halfway through the college football regular season for even most that had a bye week. This makes me sad Paw.
When Goldie Hawn took over as coach of the Central Wildcats in the 1986 movie Wildcats and started winning games, the principal of the school played by Nipsey Russell said… “I must be dreaming…” I feel this way. The football team at the high school I attended and played football for and my Dad coached at for seven years is undefeated and heading into the playoffs with a 9-0 record. I must be dreaming. The best thing is there is not a real knucklehead in the bunch. I am quite proud of Coach Williamson and his squad.
Onto this week’s picks. Well, first…I need to acknowledge my implosion of last week. I picked 8 winners and 6 losers. I did pick Michigan State and their miracle finish saved me from finishing .500 and eating it more. For the season we have 67 winners and 29 losers. Should be better than that.
This week:
Auburn beats Arkansas…The Tigers need another victory. The Razorbacks need one worse. The pucker factor will hit the Hogs in a close one.
Clemson beats Miami…The Tigers from Clemson are having a great season. The Canes won’t move them.
Northwestern beats Nebraska…Tough call. This one is in Lincoln and the Cornfolk rarely lose there. The Wildcats still have hope for a great bowl game. This game keeps them there.
Southern Miss beats Charlotte… Charlotte? I didn’t even know they still had a team…(line from baseball movie Major League)
Louisville beats Boston College…A football game will be a welcome respite on campus this week.
Duke beats Virginia Tech… Last week was a good time to be idle for a Duke team that made it into the Top 25 and avoided a fart the following week. Coach Cut will keep them together and they will find a way to beat the Hokies in a close one.
Michigan State beats Indiana…College Football’s little engine that could just can’t…sad to say.
Marshall beats North Texas…Homecoming at The Joan will be fun.
Penn State beats Maryland… Is this really a Big Ten game?
Alabama beats Tennessee…and I said it hear…The Tide will Roll through the last College Football Game if the season. Yes, that is what I mean.
North Carolina beats Virginia…I wish it were the other way.
Swissconsin beats Illinois…pretty badly I would say.
Ole Miss beats Texas A&M….To save a great season, the Rebs need this home game. The place will be wild for the evening kickoff.
LSU beats Western Kentucky….Too much defensive backfield for the pass happy Hilltoppers to deal with.
Mississippi State beats Kentucky…The Cowbell ringeth.
Utah beats USC…I have picked against them too much. The Utes will win.
Have a great weekend and…
Speak the Rights!
