EVENTUAL 2023 2024 NAIONAL CHAMPION MICHIGAN STATE 37, Methchicken 33
I am aware that this is two weeks away, but I will be gone for the next couple weeks and want to get this pick in. I am also aware that this was the score of last years game. I am also also aware that Kenneth III is not Walkering through that door. I just do not care.
The 35, Iowa 3
Iowa has the no 3 scoring defense in college football. They have not played anyone with the range of offensive options The does. Iowa also would have to score some to win. Which they will not do, or at least not do enough to win.
ClemSIN 31, Syracuse 10
Good job by the Cuse to be unbeaten this late in the season. Not that they have played much of anyone. This is the best team by far that they will be playing. ClemSIN has been improving as the year goes on, and Uuulieuuuieuu or whatever his name is has been better. I expect that improvement to continue. Syracuse has had a pretty stingy defense to date, but the best offense they have faced was probably Purdue. Nice to have an early game match up of ranked teams, but I do not think it will be that much of a game.
Tennessee 42, the University of Tennessee Martin 24
I was actually impressed with Tennessee defense, for a while at least, last week. Still too leaky a cauldron for a championship team, because eventually there will be a time when defense is required. Not this week, though. Tennessee Martin sounds like a mediocre country singer currently making a concert tour of midwestern dive bars.
the Louisiana State University 27, Old Mississippi 21
A couple of PAWCP refugee quarterbacks. Old Mississippi has developed a pretty good running game, but I just do not trust them. I am admittedly distrustful of the Mississippi teams early in the year because their schedules always seem to be back loaded, and fuck Lane Kiffin in particular, so do not put any money on this one on my say so.
the Texas 31, the Oklahoma State 27
The Horns looked pretty multidimensional with the Quinn Ewers, if that is his real name which I doubt, at the helm. Nice set of backs. Texas is like Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie in that I hear they are back so often I doubt they are back until they prove it. the OSU spit the bit against TCU, but until the last few minutes looked pretty good. Should be a good game. I may have underestimated the number of points.
Oregon 31, University of California* 17
I think not only will no PAWCP go unbeaten, they will all have two ore more losses. Yes, I still hate Bo Nix, but he is at home, so more good plays than stunningly bad ones.
Alabama 49, the Old Mississippi State University 45
Did you see that pass defense last week? OK, Tennessee has a great offense sure, but it was a balanced offense, not an air raid sort of one, and they shredded the Bama secondary. the MSU has a more potent passing game. Alabama just seems more ragged and undisciplined this year than they have been. I have Alabama out scoring them, but there is no reason why tMSU cannot outscore Alabama. Other than any team with Mike Leach as its head coach does not deserve success.
the Pennsylvania State University 27, Minnesota 17
While tPSUs inability to even slow down Methchickens running game was on full display virtually every minute of the game Saturday, and there own running game was non-existent, I do not view that as their norm. Minnesota does have a good running game, so the potential of an upset is there.
the Kansas State University 31, Christians from Texas 28
The comeback we impressive, but TCU pre-comeback was a concern. The Pure Prairie League seems to have a bunch of fairly equal pretty good teams, so it is going to be interesting to see if any of them is strong enough to go the year with no losses. Or even just one loss.
Kansas 27, Baylor 21
I had Baylor under consideration for the final playoff spot preseason, so what the fuck do I know. Kansas started 5 and 0 but if they do not beat Baylor there is a real chance those 5 wins are all they get.
Maryland 27, North by Northwestern 6
An interesting game in the yankguy household. Not sure if baby Tags is playing, but that really only effects the margin of victory. NW is baaad.
Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie 31, University of Nevada Los Vegas 17
3 and 3 OLotPT may need this game to be bowl eligible, since three of their last six games are against ranked teams. Well, one is Syracuse but still. And despite wanting desperately to see them fail badly and wind up where they were when they made their Faustian bargain in the 80s, I just cannot do it.
