EVENTUAL 2022 2023 NATIONAL CHAMPION MICHIGAN STATE 27, Minnesota 18
Who am I to let a little thing like getting waxed by Washington keep me down? We have a problem with the passing game, especially with mobile quarterbacks like Pennix. Minnesota is a running team. I will say I was surprised at how our own running game did not show up on Saturday, probably because of the hole we got it early. I think Eventual 2022 Heisman Trophy Winner Peyton Thorne can be better, especially if Reed is back. Mini has been better than I expected, but they are run dominant and I still think we take this one.
The Ohio State 45, Wisconsin 31
The merits of boasting of a win over a MAC school aside, The has an impressive offense, with talented depth everywhere. Stroud is looking sharp, he is gelling with the WRs and the two running backs (Henderson left the Toledo game but I expect him back, as cagey as The has been about the nature of his injury) are a load. I expect the parade of points to continue even against a normally stubborn Wisky defense. I still worry about whether the The defense can hold down a good offense, holding Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie down is looking less and less impressive each week. Wisky did move the ball even in the gam they lost, so I look for them to put up some points here.
Methchicken 42, Maryland 7
Yes, your offense can roll over Yukon. Don t impress me much, as they say. They have not been tested yet, and they will not be here.
the Pennsylvania State 35, Central Michigan 10
It looks like there is a decent sized gap between the top Increasingly Inaccurately Named Big Ten and the rest. But note, the IINBT has been pretty bad against Power 5 schools this year. the Pennsylvania State, though, has not been.
Arkansas 35, Texas A and M 17
I do not think whipping out their Johnson fixed the TAMU offense. At least not yet. The defense has been good, but I do like Jefferson as a college QB.
Tennessee 31, Florida 21
Hooker has been pretty good all year, and the Vol Offense has been cooking. They put up 63 on Akron, and anyo0ne who can score more than 50 on the Zips has my respecicannoteventypethatwithastraightface. Anyway, Florida still has some offensive challenges, and Richardson has not been the big two way threat the Utah game portended, and as a one way quarterback he is lacking.
ClemSIN 27, Woke Forrest 14
Woke is undefeated, but I am not buying in. CelSIN still has not convinced me they have their offense figured out yet, and their defense has been a little vulnerable through the air, likely because they have been so good against the run. I will take the defense to dominate WTFU QB Mary Hartman all day.
University of North Carolina 27, Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie 12
Heh heh heh. Trip and pole vault right out the window. Heh. Schadenfreude is a legitimate feeling and I neither deny it nor apologize for it.
Syracuse 35, Virginia 17
Who knew Old Dominion would be the best football team in the state of Virginia? The Cuse has been surprisingly good, even though they needed a loaves and fishes end to the Purdue game to do it. Not as big a dick punch as the end of the Cleveland v Jets game which I am by the way still not over. Do you know how many things had to go exactly wrong for us to lose that? Son of a bitch. It will haunt me. Anyway. Good team, not great. But UVa lost to ODU and Illinois. Have not paid actual attention to them, but they must suck.
University of California* 42, the, NOT The, Oregon State 31
Still a great offense. The 2022 version of Caleb Williams for the Heisman bandwagon is warming up. The defense? Well, the Fightin Raisins did move the ball against USC, as everyone has. So I suspect the third best OSU will continue the trend. Still, I like USC to lick the Beavers.
the Washington State 24, Oregon 17
Flipped a coin. It landed on Bad Bo Nix. Oregon ventures to the most remote location in the Power 5, and Bo is at his Nixiest on the road.
Utah 42, the Arizona State University 13
I am shocked Herm Edwards lasted as long as he did. The two Arizona Us are tough places to coach and sustain success. Not enough talent for two major P5 schools, so you fight over the scraps left over from Cali.
Oklahoma 35, the Kansas State 21
I never thought much of Martinez when he was at Nebraska. Good for one or two great plays a game, but overall, not a good QB. Gabriel has benefitted from the better talent around him at OU.
Kansas 24, Duke 20
Holy Gayle Sayers, do I have to start to care about Kansas? A team that has not had a winning record since the Bush II administration? At the longest until mid-October. Then reality.
