Heh heh...yeah, they did cheesy stuff like this back around the late 70's and early 80's.
Anyway. The Georgia Bulldogs probably feel like Rocking something after playing 3 Top 10 teams in the month of September. The Dawgs/LSU game this past week, was one of the best we've seen in a long, long time.
Tell 'em Ric:
No marquee matchups this week, but plenty to talk about....so without much further ado:
Last Week: 12-0. Yeah, we're pretty good at this. And no, we don't be the Vegas lines. For the season, 50-3. DEAL WIT DAT!!!!
And as Casey Kasem said so very often, it's on...with the countdown:
THE DIRTY DOZEN:
1) Alabama 4-0. Who better than 'Bama? Nobody in this town. Or any other town. The defense made Old Miss look pretty bad last week, but we suspect they already were bad. The only hurdle left for the Crimson Tide, LSU on Nov. 9th. This Week: vs. Georgia St. (yes, really) Our Pick: Alabama 65, Ga.State 3
2) Oregon 4-0. So, the Ducks are averaging 59 points a game, giving up only 10, but they've yet to actually play anyone who can push them. Don't misunderstand, they're really good. Tell 'em Ric:
However, that won't happen this week. This Week: at Colorado Our Pick: Oregon 59, Colorado 10
3) Clemson 4-0. No worries, you got this, right Tigers? Destiny is in your lap. Win out, you have a shot to beat the Man. If Oregon loses that is. In the meantime, you're clicking on all cylinders. Just don't pull a Clemson anytime soon. This Week: at Syracuse. Our Pick: Clemson 38, Syracuse 27
4) Stanford 4-0. If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? Oh, shit, stop with the Super Bowl media questions. The Cardinal trampled Mike Leach and his Wash. St Cougars in a deluge last week. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor Cougar shall bring them down. This Week: vs. Washington. Our Pick: Stanford 34, Washington 31(tempting, but not picking the upset)
5) Ohio State 5-0. Yay, Braxton Miller is back. Yay, you beat a ranked team. Yeah, sure it was a fellow crappy Big 10 team, but who's counting? A little tougher test is coming. Are you up to the challenge? This Week: at Northwestern. Our Pick
6) Georgia 3-1. Ok, sure, you've got a loss, but as we said earlier, 3 Top 10 games in 4 weeks makes a man out of ya. This is a good, deep team that if they stay healthy, might have enough to dethrone the Tide. Might. This Week: at Tennessee Our Pick: Georgia 41, Tennessee 23
7) Florida St. 4-0. Yeah, sure they struggled early with BC. But did you see Jameis Winston the last 3 quarters of the game. Nice. The gag is coming for this team. It always does. It's just when. This Week: vs. Maryland. Our Pick: FSU 43, Maryland 23
8) Louisville 4-0. Imagine if these guys played a real schedule. When your toughest game is vs. Kentucky, yeah, you are coasting. But as long as Teddy B is your QB, you'll be in the Top 10. But no, you aren't playing Big Boy football. This Week: at Temple (yikes) Our Pick: Louisville 57, Temple 10
9) LSU 4-1 Consider us fans of Zach Mettenberger. Quite the performance vs. UGA. His o-line gave in when he needed them most late. This is a VERY good and dangerous team though. This Week: at Mississippi St. Our Pick: LSU 37, Miss St. 21
10) Texas A&M 4-1. If we've told you once, we've told you a thousand times. Johnny Manziel is the best heel in the history of College Football. And he seems to be okay with that. But he needs help to win. You can't give up 33 to the Bielema's. Ever. This Week: BYE
11) UCLA 3-0. Rest up Little Jimmy Mora, it's time to come back on the field. You have officially won Los Angeles with the firing of Coach Kiffykins at USC. Take advantage of it. This Week: at Utah. Our Pick: UCLA 41, Utah 31
12) Oklahoma 4-0. Yeah, great, the pundits of College Football say you are awesome because you beat Notre Dame. We say that's a bit premature. Notre Dame's not that good. But you guys do appear to be the class of the Big 12. Revel in it. This Week: vs. TCU. Our Pick: Oklahoma 27, TCU 23
THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL:
5) UConn 0-4.
Okay, well, so maybe not this time. Gone is Paul Pasqualoni, a guy who somehow got the coaching job for no readily apparent reason. However, he did a great job in killing whatever momentum this one-time BCS team had. And it ain't getting better this year. This Week: BYE
4) Temple 0-4
Yeah, you couldn't beat Idaho. Nothing else needs to be said. This Week: vs. Louisville/See #8 on the other poll.
3) Florida International 0-4. Oops. Got them confused with Florida Atlantic last week. Who by the way are just as bad as the Golden Panthers. How did they end up hiring Ron Turner to coach this team? He's been one of CFB's worst coaches for over a decade. Hmmm....This Week: at Southern Miss Our Pick: Southern Miss 1, FIU 0
2) Georgia State 0-4. Poor Trent Miles. Did he see the Panthers schedule before taking the job? Who told these guys it was a good idea to go Division 1 this year? Good news, you almost beat Jacksonville St last week. Bad news. This Week: at Alabama. Our Pick: see #1 above
1) Southern Miss 0-4. Could it be? Could the Golden Eagles get off the schnide this week? Certainly 3 straight weeks of road abuse hasn't helped them. But FIU comes to town. So there's that. And this game, short of FIU vs. Florida Atlantic may be the worst game of the year. This Week: vs. FIU Our Pick: see above
