Word came out yesterday that duh Ohio State's Chris "Beanie" Wells will likely miss tomorrow's game with #1 USC. Tressell is pretty smart. He knows that WHEN his team loses, they will be knocked out of the BCSCG running....unless he can say at the end of the year, "Hey we won the Big Eleven (not hard to do this season), and when we lost to USC, we didn't have Beanie Wells, our best player! We deserve a rematch WITH our best guy!" Actually a pretty smart move so he can ONCE again go to the BCSCG, where he will get his ass handed to him ONCE AGAIN. But at least he can say he was there! Congrats Tress, you now coach the early 1990s Buffalo Bills!
With no FURTHER ADODO, on to the PICKS!
A special Friday night special.....#13 KU @ #19 SoFla. If Matt Groethe thought receiving death threats last week from people in Orlando was scary and he played so poorly the team had to go to OT against UCF, just imagine how much he will crap his pants when he sees KU's coach. That guy makes death treats by saying, "Boy you look tasty!" Seriously though KU wins this one. I'M THINKING ARBY'S!
On to Saturday, everyone's favorite day of the week!
#23 Cali @ Maryland. Speaking of FAT coaches, and I mean Fat, not with a PH, but with a stomach....Cali has to travel a ways, but they have a better QB situation than Maryland right know. I know, I know, "Crabcakes and Football, that's what Maryland does," but someone didn't give the Terps the message this season. The Fighting Sandy Cohens win.
Louisiana-Lafayette @ #24 Illinois. I heard that people in Georgia pronounce it Luh-fayette, NOT Lafayette, the way it is supposed to be pronounced. Hey, worked on Phonics DIDN'T work for Georgia. Seano, you are a teacher, please teach your kids the correct way. The Zookers win.
FAU @ Michigan State. This game is ACTUALLY ON ESPN2. So I guess Pam Ward's dance party is going to take place in Lansing Michigan this weekend. OK. Sparty wins.
NCState @ Klimpsen. The Wolf Pack play the Tigers. If this were a real fight, a Tiger would STOMP a wolf. I think reality matches reality in this game.
Iowa State @ Iowa. WOW. This intrastate rivalry could NOT BE more boring. Unless maybe Montana v Montana State was on the docket. Ummmm Iowa?
UAB @ Tennessee. Hey Vols, way to blow that game out in LA. Now we have to listen to a bunch of Pac-10 losers say that the P10 can TOTALLY HANG with the SEC. Well that is until next week! The Williamses win and fine tune up for Florida next week.
Nevada @ #6 Mizzou. This is a matchup between the Tigers and the WolfPack. See above. SAME RESULTS. Tigers win.
#14 ECU @ Tulane. I am AMAZED that this game is being played in New Orleans. I mean I thought those people used ANY EXCUSE POSSIBLE to leave the state and come live in Atlanta. Why isn't this game being played in the Georgia Dome? After ECU wins, I imagine the people of Nawlins will blame that too on Bush!
#16 Oregon @ Purdue. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2008-09 Sun Bowl preview! Purdue actually has a REALLY good QB in Painter and Oregon will wear a dizzying uniform to try and confuse Purdue's team. I think Purdon't wins this one at home, because the Pac-10 STINKS! Thanks again Tennessee!
#17 Penn State @ da Cuse. Joe Pa keeps up with Bobby Bowden with a big win over the Orangewomen. Wow, remember back in 1998 when Syracuse was relevant? Penn State wins and what the heck is a Nittnay Lion? In this game, a winner!
UCLA @ #18 BYU. UCLA will lose this one which makes Tennessee and in turn the SEC look bad. Thanks Tennessee! PS, the Cougars will then probably run the table and demand a BCS bowl bid. And the NCAA will cave, forgetting about Hawaii last season. THESE LITTLE SCHOOLS SUCK!
Michigan @ ND. The Fighting Fupas barely beat SDSU last week. Michigan is not good either, but both have the potential to be....wait, I have been drinking the NBC/ESPN Kool-aid. THIS GAME WILL BE TERRIBLE! Notre Dame at least will be at home though. Therefore advantage Fupas!
Chattavegas @ FSU. Flawrida state put up 69 points last weekend against WCU. I believe Chattavegas ALSO plays in the SoCon. Maybe they hold FSU to 65. Hey Booby Bowden, way to schedule a real meat grinder of an early schedule!
#9 Auburn @ Miss State. Auburn will have a headache after this game FROM all of the cowbells. And I think it's great that Auburn seems to have found their QB of the year in Chris Todd. I remember the last time Auburn picked a slow white guy QB over a more athletic QB. Brandon Cox is STILL waking up at night thinking of Tra Battle, Kelin Johnson and the rest of the UGA defense. yeah, this Todd guy was SOOOO good that out of high school he went to a JUCO. Yeah, what a talent he is. But he is still better than anything Miss State has. Tigers/Plainsmen/War Eagles win.
Western Kentucky @ #11 Bama. Wow, go 7-6, including a loss to UL-Monroe, then beat the HIGHLY overrated #9 team in the country, and NEED a special teams TD to beat Tulane and YOU TOO can climb to #11 in the polls! THIS is Alabama Football! They win over Western Kentucky and probably vault up to #6 in the country. They are the new Notre Dame!
SMU @ #12 Texas Tech. June Jones will tell his team to look at Texas Tech and soon they MIGHT become them in a year or two! If only SMU could still PAY players the rebuilding process might get jump started....TTU wins.
MTSU @ UK. This is for my cousin Matt, a HUGE UK fan. I will pick them to win. I HOPE THEY DO and don't pull a Missy State and lose to a crap crap crap school. UK has this one at home. Hopefully that is enough to get them a win. UGA will see you soon!
#3 duh Ohio State @ #1 USC. I already said that USC was going to win. They'd win WITH Beanie Wells lining up for the Buckeyes. I am just getting sick of them ALWAYS ending up in the BCSCG. It is getting a little crazy, isn't it? I mean, are THEY happy with always going and always getting beaten? Maybe this is part of the pact that Tressell made with Satan to get him his first title. Everyone KNOWS that one was tainted with MoClarret and the BOGUS P.I. flag. Now Tressell has to go EVERY YEAR and get stomped? Is he Bobby Cox?
North Texas @ #7 LSU. Way to really go out on a limb there defending champs! Good luck in the final tuneup before your real games begin. Let me ask you something though...does beating North Texas tell you anything out your Bayou Bengals there Les Miles? Oh well, you can't SPELL Les Miles without TWO Ls. Just saying..... LSU wins this one though.
UNLV @ #15 Az State. Did I read that correctly? Were fans in AZ State ACTUALLY SAYING Bring on Georgia? REALLY? That is like saying "BRING ON TAX TIME!" "BRING ON MONDAY!" "BRING ON A PRISON RAPE!" Why would you actually be calling out UGA like that? I don't get it. Az State, don't worry. Georgia will be there soon enough. You'd better pay attention to this game though. You'll win, but it might be close.
LOCK OF THE WEEK...
#3 OU @ U-Dub This isn't a lock of the week because Oklahoma is the #3 team in the country. No it's here because Ty Willingham is still coaching the Husky football team. And THAT'S why OU will win. As long as this game isn't held in the Fiesta Bowl, OU should win.
UPSET OF THE WEEK...
#10 Wisco @ #21 FrezNO State. I know it isn't much of an "upset" pick if EVERYONE is picking it, but looking at the rankings, it could qualify. Wisco ON THE ROAD against a FrezNO team that beat Rutgers at home, (but UNC made the FSU win not look as impressive now didn't they?) I still take the Bulldogs and with this win THEY TOO will try and say they deserve a BCS bowl bid. FINE, NCAA, create a fake BCS and call it the Wellfare Bowl and pit two midmajors against each other just so their crappy conferences can get a huge payday and a REAL team like Mizzou last season won't miss out on making a good game out of the regular BCS bowls. UGA/Mizzou last season would have been fun to watch.....
PRO-League action
Atlanta in Tampa Bay...A Rookie on the road v Monte Kiffin's defense. Advantage TB. A Lush QB taking snaps-Advantage Atlanta. Rookie head coach on the road-GAME TAMPA.
Local flava!
GT @ VaTech. Everyone around Atlanta is excited about how good GT looks. Well all 13 fans of GT are excited. Maybe it was just a GREAT tickle pile last weekend. I dunno. But I can't think that VaTech will lose this one. They just won't. Sorry GT. Wait, why am I sorry? And why am I suddenly rooting for VaTech? If the earth opened and swallowed both of these teams, I wouldn't be upset. Goyders win.
#2UGA @ SoCar...Will we FINALLY get to see Stephen Garcia? Well as long as he doesn't get arrested on the way to Williams-Brice Stadium. Which he might. It won't matter. The Defense couldn't stop Knowshon last season and he only carried it 14 times. Imagine when he totes it 25 times this year. This game has been circled on CMR and UGA's calendar ever since they were denied a BCSCG appearance last season. You KNOW CMR will want to win it and potentially put SOS out of his misery. But SoCar isn't that good anyways, I mean, didn't they lose to Vandy...twice? I wonder if SoCar officials regret not hiring Skip Holtz after Lou stepped down NOW? Ya think maybe? UGA wins by 17 points because CMR won't run up the score simply because he can. He'll save that for Florida....because he's classless, right Urban Meyer?
