Some teasing, sure. But other than the reprehensible ham, who rubbed your nose in Sandusky? 

There is something about the last five words that seems inappropriate....

Why are you asking me?
I assumed your alter ego speaks for you, in much the same way Miss Piggy speaks for Frank Oz.


But it's so unlike you to make assumptions.

Boise, Utah.

I would have been ok with you taking BYU last week.   But I would take USC at home for this one.

The biggest problem with USC football right now is that literally anything could happen though.

I agree. I'm still waiting for the Trojan talent on the defensive side to shine.

Michigan State 24, Northwestern 22


I actually want to pull the upset trigger. But the 'safety' seems to be on.


USC( Say it with me Stevo U S C ) 19, Utah 27



I don’t have a lot of faith in USC to stop the Utah offense. If he’s not throwing INTs or lying flat on his back young Hector could keep it close though.


Oregon 31, Stanford 18



Stanford is looking terrible. Shaw looks to be getting shanked in this one too.


Ole Miss 17, Cal 16



I think the Rebels have a good chance to out physical the Bears in between the tackles on offense. Will they try to do it though is the question. Stacks up to be a low scoring game I think. I’ll take the Rebels.


Wisconsin 23, Meatchicken 26



As Stevo said, It is really hard to judge either of these teams based upon what I have seen so far.  Wisky has smoked two pretty bad teams – they appear to be going back to the eat three cupcakes OOC mode that they had recently shaken off – but Meatchicken has looked lethargic offensively in its two wins.   But, is this the week that Shea Patterson’s body finally heals completely? He’s a better passer than he’s shown so far IMO. A shit-ton of high passes in his last game indicated to me that the oblique injury was still nagging his follow through. I’m throwing the dice and saying he doesn’t have that problem this week and he doesn’t miss receivers that are wide open like he did in the last game.


THE 62, Miami of Ohio 7



OSU, so far, hasn’t taken a week off and will continue to play hard on first string. At least until they’re 4 TDs ahead.


Georgia 32, 1966, 27



I don’t think it will be the blowout everyone is predicting. I’m thinking that this game eventually comes down to the 4th quarter. Georgia has the better players overall yes, and the home field advantage. But still don’t expect the Irish to just roll over in this one.


Clemson 66, Charlotte 3



Uhhh….I got nuthin. Hmmm…49ers need to be spotted 49 just to keep from losing by double digits? No, that’s lame. Screw it.


Florida 32, Tennessee 21



The Gators lost their QB. The backup is pretty good though, and the Vol Defense couldn’t stop me. We’ll see how the QB whisperer Mullen does with the Kid.

Auburn 20, Texas A&M 27



I think that the Aggies winning the field position battle will be an important factor in this game. And can the Tigers run the ball with any consistency?


Oklahoma State 45, Texas 41



Because Oklahoma State has a running back named Chuba, and no other reason. Maybe, but another thing will be that Texas IMO doesn’t have a great secondary or great LBs either for that matter.

The thing with the Pac 12 is ...just when you think something is obvious...it changes.

 I'm still waiting for the Trojan talent on the defensive side to shine.

I thought they played well yesterday.  They gave up a lot of yards, but they made critical stops in the red zone again and again.

They made some jarred hits that is for sure, and made the critical stops and takeaways when they needed to. Loved their physicality!

I have to admit that I never expected to see a Don Brown defense get pasted like that.
