I just laugh when other people’s predictions go wrong. The thing is, I really haven’t decided if I truly know enough about the games to predict what will happen. But then again, the “experts” don’t either.
#15 Nebraska @ Wake Forest – I only mention this game because my brother in law is going to the game. He’s been a Cornhusker his whole life – isn’t every kid who was born and raised in SW Virginia? For me, watching Wake Forest is like watching theater. I can’t sit through the whole thing. I’m curious to see just how good the reigning ACC champs are. And are the Cornhusker fans going to sit idly by while Coach Callahan has the gall to throw more than 4 passes per game?
Miami @ #5 Oklahoma – People forget that, pre-bowl season, Oklahoma was a botched call away from a perfect season. New Hurricane coach Randy Shannan has banned all his players from owning guns. You tell me who’s been focusing more on football lately?
Duke @ Virginia – You think Duke is bad? The Cavaliers did not score a touchdown last week against Wyoming. That’s right. They play football in Wyoming. And they do it better than soon-to-be fired Coach Al Groh can teach them to do it in the Old Dominion. Tivo this game and skip through it to watch the commercials.
Alabama @ Vanderbilt – If you didn’t hate Bama before Coach Nick Satan, er, Saban got there, you sure do now. Forty nine states will be rooting for the school that keeps the SEC’s GPA’s up.
Oregon @ Michigan – remember Forest Whitakker’s character in “Fast Times At Ridgemont High”? Sean Penn’s character, Spicoli, wrecked Whittaker’s car and blamed it on the rival high school. Whitakker sent most that team out on a stretcher. I just wouldn’t want to be playing Michigan this week after last week’s embarrassment.
West Virginia Tech @ Western Kentucky – West. Virginia. Tech. Try saying it without laughing. Then change the channel.
Notre Dame @ Penn State – This time last year we called Charlie Weiss a ‘genius’. This year, he may just be called Joe Paterno’s bitch.
North Carolina @ East Carolina – If ECU wins, they take statehood from UNC.
#20 Hawaii @ Louisiana Tech – I’m sensing a trend. What’s next? A technical school in Georgia? Warrior QB and Heisman darkhorse Colt Brennan will throw for 800 yards and STILL no one in the continental US will care.
South Florida @ #17Auburn – Many pick an upset in cowtown. Truth is, it should be a really good game. As long as they don’t keep putting the camera on Auburn OC Al Borges (right). Only Dick Cheney frightens people more.
#9 Virginia Tech @ #2 LSU – The marquee matchup of the weekend. Two top defenses. Two speedy teams. And two of the most redneck fan bases outside of Florida. Ok, ok, I don’t really mean that. But seriously, Baton Rouge on a Saturday night? If nothing else, the blood alcohol content of Louisiana will go up by a tenth of a percent.
Finally,
South Carolina @ #12 Georgia – Even though Steve Spurrier is not “Steve Spurrier” anymore, he’s still a good coach. And the Gamecocks always bring an "A" game to this fight. Lotta smack talking leading up to this showdown.
