EVENTUAL 2021 2022 NATIONAL CHAMPION MICHIGAN STATE 34, Maryland 17
Sure, we gave up 500 yards in the ir and 40 points to a team with a middling passing attack that had scored 13 points in half its 8 games. Sure that would worry a lesser man, and might give cause when going up against a Maryland team with a decent quarterback, or at least decently familied quarterback. But I am not a lesser man, and MD is giving up about 150 a game on the ground. We run Eventual 2021 Heisman Trophy Winner III around, through and over them all day. Anyway, one silver lining in the Purducken loss is fewer people are assuming the Louisiana State Seminary of Learning and Military Academy, or as it is more commonly known LSSLMMA, is going to throw unlimited money at Tucker.
The 45, Purducken 13
Can PU crush the dreams of three top 5ish teams in one year? No. The has an elite offense with multiple big play options and an improving defense. It will come down to the PU offense and, last week notwithstanding, I just do not see enough offense there,
the Pennsylvania State University 27, Meatchicken 21
They are really, really really going to regret that Illinois loss. I think they are a good team, and with Clifford being back and healthy, I think they have enough offense to support their strong defense. I still think being stout against the run can thwart the Meatchicken offense, provided you have a decent pass defense which we apparently do not.
Our Lady of the Perpetual Tie 33, Virginia 28
OLotPT is on the skirts of the playoffs, and there is enough chance of chaos for them to get in, so they better lose soon. Well, it would be grimly amusing to watch them go up against that Georgia defense, but I would rather take a pass on that. Anyway, they keep winning without being great, but there are a lot of teams you can say that about this year, and a couple of them are likely to be in the playoffs.
Georgia 31, Tennessee 14
I am calling it. Someone is getting a garbage time second touchdown against Georgia before the end of the year, and it might as well be the Vols.
Oklahoma 35, Baylor 17
Baylor has been a fast turn around, but I have gone from thinking the Rattler lead Sooners are going to lose twice and miss the playoffs to thinking the Williams lead Sooners will go unbeaten and make the playoffs.
ClemSIN 42, Yukon 3
If your offense cannot get right against UConn, your offense cannot get right period.
Oregon 35, Washington State 17
Wazzou will take their shot, but this is not the week the lucky Ducks suck enough to lose their second game.
Wisconsin 23, Northwestern 13
Wisconsin is winning the Big However Many West, just as everyone predicted at the start of the year. What a long strange trip it has been, though. But they are back where they belong, back truckin on with a good defense and a bad offense. That bad offense will not matter this week.
Auburn 31, Ole Mississippi State 24
I have said this before, but the Mississippi schools get a lot of love simply for being in God apostrophe s Conference. Picking Auburn is a crap shoot, since the odds are fairly strong that their quarterback will have a flatly awful game. But the Home Bo Nix is the Good Bo Nix. Generally.
Texas A and M 42, Old Mississippi 30
I have said this before, and I think fairly recently, the but Mississippi schools get a lot of love simply for being in God apostrophe s Conference. I think the TAMU defense can corral the Old Mississippi offense.
Minnesota 24, Iowa 17
I am not sure how you remain ranked after losing to Bowling Green and Illinois in the same year, but Minnesota is not only ranked, it is ranked above a two loss Iowa that beat PSU. Still, Iowa has no offense to speak of, so Minnesota just needs to hold on to the ball and tough it out.
Pittsburgh 49, North Carolina 42
Again, I am done with picking UNC to do anything.
University of Soutb]hern California 31, California 13
Boy the Trojans season is broken beyond measure, but then Cal lost to Tucson Prep so this one is within USC s reach.
Woke Forrest 42, North Carolina State 38
Losing to that other Carolina school probably takes Woke out of the playoffs anyway. They still have the South Atlantic League title to play for since losing to in conference UNC was actually losing OOC. I like the Woke offense, although they could be better at running back.
Colby 31, Bowdoin 17
The Fighting Chamberlains* came within a point of Mastering Bates last week, but the Mules are a different matter.
Alabama 45, New Mexico State 3
I thought this sort of game in God apostrophe s Conference was reserved for the penultimate week of the season. Anyway, here for the sake of completion, I might as well get to the other playoff possibilities.
Cincinnati 27, University of South Florida 13
Cinci needs to run up the score on some of these teams, because they are not going to be beating anyone of note, especially with the Ponies spitting the bit the last two weeks. And by the way I have been to Tampa and it is not SOUTH Florida. I am calling Bull on this.
* Searching on Google informs me the Bowdoin team name is actually the Polar Bears but I never believe anything I find in a Google search that does not coincide with my pre existing belief system.
