I Don’t Make Predictions Week 4 – With Updated Comments

(Note: I forgot to post this on Friday. So I’m posting it today and adding in some comments to prod myself)

Onto to this week’s games. Randomly selected, of course:

North Carolina @#23 USF – Are you like me? Do you get UCF and USF confused? Well, you shouldn’t anymore. USF is now ranked and a Big East PLAYA. UCF is coached by former Nerd Georgia Tech coach George O’Leary. He probably lies and says that he coaches USF.

South Florida is building something down there. They replace Louisville as a Big East powerhouse.

#20 Texas A&M @ Miami – I’m interested to see if Miami can fully recover from the beatdown they took from Oklahoma. Not that A&M is a similar measuring stick. But even if it’s easy to hate the “U”, it’s hard not to pull for Randy Shannon and what he’s trying to do.

Miami took it to A&M. That game was never in question

East Carolina @ #4 West Virginia – As if it wasn’t enough fun watching White/ Slaton run roughshod over people, now throw in Noel Devine. That dude is just a blur. I’ve seen cheetahs that aren’t that fast. I’m glad he finally found a home at such a fine educational establishment.

Ho hum. Mountaineers win again. On deck: South Florida

#3 Florida @ Ole Miss – You can bet that since Tim Tebow is now being mentioned in the Heisman race that he will be in the game until the fourth quarter, running up the stats. Then he’ll retire to the sidelines to suck face with his teammates. I think Ed Orgeron’s head may actually explode (admit it – you’d like to see that).

This game was seriously close. Give Orgeron this – he found a way to slow down the machine.

#10 Penn State @ Michigan – If you hate Michigan (and let’s face it, these are good times), you can begin watching again. Although, sometimes these seemingly lop-sided games actually produce watchable TV.

As this one did. Michigan’s win puts them back in the Big Ten hunt. Dammit.

#12 South Carolina @ #2 LSU – Remember the days when Steve Spurrier was a Florida and he used to beat opponents mercilessly? What goes around comes around. However, Spurrier won’t throw his visor because an LSU defender would probably eat it.

I gotta hand it to the Gamecocks, they did better than I thought. Most people say the score is not indicative of the game because of the rain, but it’s still closer than most people would have thought. It was nice to see Spurrier get a dose of trickery

#21 Kentucky @ Arkansas – Ah, the resurgence of Kentucky. Thanks for beating Louisville, now welcome back to your SEC slate. Your first mission, should you choose to accept it – stop Darren McFadden. And do it with that crappy defense.

This is the last stop for the Kentucky bandwagon. Better get on now.

#22 Georgia @ #16 Alabama – Aside from all the secrecy and mistrust going on, this should really be a good game. Bama doesn’t think that the Dawgs have played anyone yet, and the Dawgs aren’t ready to give up. One common opponent says Georgia is tougher. One Bama player has the hots for Matt Stafford. If Bama actually loses this game, I might feel sorry for Nick Saban. He’s the only one talking “one game at a time”. The rest of the Crimson Nation are assuming 8-0 when they play LSU. I smell UPSET!!!

And now I taste upset. Dawgs win 26-23 in OT. An OT that we handed to them. Hey a win is a win and Mark Richt is 23-3 in other school’s stadiums. Yeah, baby!
