(1.) Clemson
(2.) Oklahoma
(3.) UCF……. if the Knight’s defense is as bad as they say it is, and the Mountaineer’s defense continues to be as bad as it has been lately, the final score in this one will look like they’ve played a game of basketball. :roll:
(4.) Georgia
(5.) Texas
(6.) Oregon……. We’re about to find out just how tough and physical these Ducks are, they better be against this bunch.
(7.) Louisville
(8.) Auburn
(9.) Ohio
(10.) Tulane
(11.) UL Monroe
(12.) South Alabama
(13.) Boise State
(14.) Marshall……. Let’s Goooooooo Little Bro!!!!!!!!
(15.) Kentucky……. If history has taught us anything, if Tennessee loses this game there will be a HELP WANTED AD in the Knoxville newspaper reading: ‘Head Football Coach Position Available. Salary and Benefits are unbelievable. Apply at University of Tennessee Athletic Department.’
(16.) Air Force
(17.) Troy
(18.) Ohio State
(19.) Oregon State

”We’re already in a time where the on-field aspect of College Football is almost a distraction. It’s an era filled with handwringing about player empowerment, NCAA deregulation, the transfer portal and realignment all while the sport generally moves toward a professional model.” ~ Dennis Dodd

(1.) NC State --- [ever get the sense that not just a team, but a conference smells blood..?]
(2.) Kansas --- [this could be the week]
(3.) West Virginia --- [the Knights' last home game went from success to sink hole]
(4.) Georgia --- [poor Billy ... at least his collective know how to bend the rules]
(5.) Texas --- [if this doesn't happen, then I'm merely pedestrian at this]
(6.) Utah --- [it's the competition played that made my mind up]
(7.) Louisville --- [still no word on whether Leonard will play or not]
(8.) Auburn --- [hey, if so, they'll both be .500]
(9.) Ohio --- [2 equally matched teams, gotta go with the Defense]
(10.) Tulane --- [I put it up here because it looks like a possible Trap Game]
(11.) UL Monroe --- [neither are very good, so the Warhawks could get another one]
(12.) South Alabama --- [I don't know what it is, but I feel like the other guys win]
(13.) Wyoming --- [I wonder how much the Boise Love is due to recency bias]
(14.) Marshall --- [this looks like their ideal match up]
(15.) Kentucky --- [they both need the win]
(16.) Air Force --- [I think so ... however it is a rivalry]
(17.) Troy --- [the winner is on a collision course with So Alabama for Division champs]
(18.) Ohio State --- [it seems hat picking against them is the losing formula]
(19.) Oregon State --- [if not, then `Zona is becoming a real player]
(20.) Fresno State --- [not ready to give up on them yet]

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
