How can we be at week six already?   Well, it is October.

How can it be October already?

The air will be cooler this weekend all across the land.  In Oxford, MS the gametime temperature is planned for the upper 60s the last time I checked.  That is frosty at 3:30 in the afternoon this time of year in Mississippi.

You know things are heating up in college football when all the conference teams are playing each other and a degree of separation for conference supremacy is on the line.   You ask me the best division in football…I’ll tell you it is the SEC West followed by the NFC West.

Ole Miss will beat Alabama… Let’s just get this out of the way.  As disappointed as I was when Peyton Manning and the Broncos last the Super Bowl, I will be just as delighted.  I wrote in an earlier post that it is the Rebels time.  I watched a documentary about Chucky Mullins this week for the first time.  It alluded to the “this is our time” theme.  I believe this will be the one Rebel fans have been searching for.

Marshall will beat Old Dominion….This is ODU’s Super Bowl.  They will be ready to play.  They could give Marshall some grief early.  Marshall seems to start when they feel like it.  When they do…look out.  If they get going good in the first quarter, the score board might need another battery before the game is finished.

East Carolina will beat SMU…I feel bad for the Mustangs.  They will be no match for the Pirates of ECU.  Coach Ruffin is doing a great job.

Mississippi State will beat Texas A&M… If you root for the Rebels you probably won’t root for State.  I am indifferent.  No…I hope A&M whips them!  I don’t think they will.  State will beat the Aggies.

Virginia Tech will beat North Carolina…I have a penchant for the ACC.  I made note of that in a previous post.  Though North Carolina is our adopted home state, the Tar Heels need help.  They will get it eventually.  Beamerball wins out.

Indiana will beat North Texas…Up and down.  This week is up for the Hoosiers.  They need it to go to a bowl and stay out of the toilet bowl…where I think they will be by season’s end.

Auburn will beat LSU…my brother in-law, the legendary Stevarino, asked who will win this. I told him the Tigers.  The Auburn Tigers that is..not the Bayou Bengals.  Though it will be close…the homers come out for a reason.

Virginal will beat Pittsburgh…Mike London has done a good job with a UVA team that had low expectations.

South Carolina will beat Kentucky…UK, like IU, is victim to a natural order of things.  Steve Spurrier will not be beaten by Kentucky.  If he does…he will not coach another season.

P.S. I had faith in South Carolina at the beginning of the year.  They have been a major disappointment.

Michigan State will beat Nebraska…I predicted Sparty to have a good season.  It does’t stop this weekend as they handle a Cornhusker team that will make too many errors.

So far we are 38 wins and 12 losses with our speaktherights.com College Football Predictions.

This is a great time of the year.

Speaking the rights.
