I Don’t Make Predictions Week 7

Everybody spent all week arguing as to whether or not South Florida was worthy of being #2 in the BCS. It’s all wasted words. These things work themselves out – they always do.
Let’s move on to the games of note:
(I should point out that Georgia is off this week, so I will spend Saturday actually doing something constructive – painting shudders and looking for a pin-hole leak in a swimming pool liner. I know – you wish you were me.)
Under the ‘games that could get ugly’:
#23 Cinciannati @ Pittsburgh – Pittsburgh has been beaten up pretty well this season, and that includes their coach.
Northern Illinois @ Wisconsin – the Badgers have lost two in a row after starting out the year 5-0. How mad are they? Tune in and see.
#4 Oklahoma @ Iowa State – Let’s see, how can we will our way back into the BCS title game (since South Florida lost)? Bitch slap an inferior opponent and show the world how COOL we really are!!
#13 USC @ Notre Dame – Remember the good ole days (2 years ago) when this game meant something? The Trojans lost style points for barely beating 2-5 Arizona, plus the same media who built them up the entire offseason has now abandoned them. I would be surprised if USC didn’t score 80 points and punch Charlie Weiss in the stomach before they left South Bend.
#10 California @ UCLA – All Cal had to do was beat mediocre Oregon State, and the number one spot would be theirs. I expect them to unleash the fury on the Bruins not seen in Southern California since OJ Simpson.

Half interesting:
Texas A&M @ Nebraska – Two coaches (Franchione and Callahan) with absolutely nothing to lose. These guys are just out here to beef up the resume.
#15 Kansas @ Colorado – This game will finally resemble a DIVISION ONE FOOTBALL GAME, BROTHER!!! (sorry, I’ll be using that one for a while)

SEC games:
#20 Tennessee @ Alabama – The only thing that keeps this game from turning into a riot every year (especially since Phil ratted out the Tide) is that most fans here are too drunk to fight. But this year, the game starts at 12:30. I can see the bottles flying now….
Vandy @ #6 South Carolina – Go ahead and try to convince yourself that this game could be close, but Spurrier hasn’t been able to run up a score since he’s been back in the SEC. This could be his chance.
Arkansas @ Ole Miss – Two crazy-ass coaches. Wasted talent on the field. The post game presser may actually be more interesting than this game.
#14 Florida @ #8 Kentucky – As a Georgia fan, you can only hope this game goes into about 6 or 7 overtimes and everyone is physically, emotionally and spiritually drained at the end.
#18 Auburn @ #5 LSU – Uh oh. The Auburn team everyone forgot about at the beginning of the year is BAAA-AAAACK. Remember when no one thought they could beat Florida? And remember how physical last year’s game was between these two teams? I was sore from just watching it.
