Conference Championship Predictions

[The Six]

Friday Night's a great night for football

#MAC - Buffalo 26, Northern Illinois 21 X
- No real read on this game other than Buffalo has the better record and has dominated their conference more than the No. Illinois team. MAC teams usually play it close so I'll take the Bulls to win in a squeaker.


#Pac12FCG - Washington 20, Utah 17  *
- Couple of the more defensive teams in the league here. I'll give the edge to Washington because they can run the ball and shrink the game. The Utes offense is too inconsistent.


Saturday's Slate
#SECChampionship- Alabama 58, UGA 24
- Yeah, okay. Alabama scores TDs and Georgia's offense tends to bog down in the red zone - recipe for disaster for Georgia. Close game for a quarter or a half until Alabama turns up the heat. Tua breaks the SEC CG passing record (currently 401 yards/6 TDs by Danny Wuerffel).
#ACCFCG - Clemson 31, Pitt 20
- Pitt is scrappy but they don't really have anything that can counter what Clemson does on either side of the ball. Close early with Clemson pulling away in the second half. Pitt gets a garbage score to make it look closer than it really was.

#Big10Championship - Ohio State 41, Northwestern 24
- Ohio State still has problems and Northwestern will make them uncomfortable. However, the Wildcats don't have enough on defense to keep the explosive Buckeyes at bay all game.
#Big12Championship - Oklahoma 45, Texas 42
- Another shoot out but Oklahoma learns its lesson from the first game and steals back a win.

PLAYOFF PREDICTION:
1)Alabama vs. 4)Oklahoma
2) Clemson vs. 3)Notre Dame

Group of Five Championship Games
#American - UCF 34, Memphis 30
- The Knights rally for a win for their fallen QB and vex Memphis once again.

#CUSAFB - UAB 31, Middle Tennessee 14
- Bill Clark's team smokes the posers from outside Nashville and many Auburn fans wish we could have found a way.

#MountainWest - Boise St. 27, Fresno St. 24
- The Murder Smurfs are good in these games and while Fresno has some firepower, they don't have enough of it. The Broncos QB Rypien is the difference here.

#SunBelt - App St 41. Louisiana 20
- The Ragin' Cajuns won't have enough juice to crack the Rock. App. State's offense is efficient and that defense smothers opponents.

What say you?

I think FUGA wins.

Is there any way for both Bama and FUGA to lose Saturday?  You know, the reality is my total disdain is for the fans and not the teams.  But, I guess the two are forever linked.  Someone posted on the Book of Faces, about a 2 minute video of the players interacting on the field after the Iron Bowl.  I was thinking how much more class all of them show than the fans in the stands.  They just finished beating the hell out of each other and now they're laughing, posing for pictures with each other etc. If you were just watching that scene, you couldn't tell who won or lost. 

But speaking of the bookfaces, it's just been inundated with Bama smack talk and classless BS about Auburn.  I can take it.  Come at me. I'm a man.  I'm 40.  (Okay, that was wishful thinking)  I've lived through over 50 Iron Bowls and normally, it is what it is.  You take your shots when you win and expect some return fire when you lose.  But holy haysus, it's out of control this year for some reason.  I've already deleted two assholes who just can't stop with the Bama crap.  I just saw one person post the words to Devil Went Down To Georgia, with the words changed to have the devil get in a passing contest with Two'r. 

I guess now I know what it's like to be a basketball school.

Twoer Tanitoba does it agin.
Second greatest SECCG ever.

I think FUGA wins.

and stays at #4 while the fighting tuers drop all the way to 2

[Kaos]

There’s no outcome left that could generate an iota of interest for me.  

Don’t know who is playing, don’t care.  I’m going to devote my weekend to shopping and sex.  Hope I don’t get thrown out of that store again. 

[Snaggletiger]

Any reason or are you too fucking stoned to think of one?

GF, are you stoned and holding out on me?

I was just keeping up traditions of these useless threads.

I really hadn't watched any bama games this season, just heard about how great they were, blah blah.  Quite frankly I wasn't that impressed with them in our game.  They beat the shit outta us, yeah but we are mediocre at best, and we still scored 21 on them.  I think everyone thinks bama walks in and wins, meanwhile FUGA has been really quiet. I think FUGA goes into Mercedes Stadium and beats them. I think FUGA's defense is better than bama and I see their offense as capable of outscoring them if it goes that way.

I'm not saying they aren't good they are.  But Look at a breakdown of bama's schedule this year.  

-Their 4 away games were Ole Miss, LSU, Ark, Tenn
      Those 4 teams have a combined record this year of 21-27 and pull out LSU and it goes to 12-24.

-Their signature wins
8-4 Mizzou at home
9-3 LSU on the road
8-4 aTm at home
8-4 Miss. St. at home
That's it.  Every other team they played had a worse record.
Louisville was 2-10

-Taking out their “cupcake games” against La. Lafayette, Citadel and Ark State
      The teams they played had a combined record of 61-59

I think it will be close but I like FUGA to win.

Some of y'all need to watch, learn, and do. You back on my good list now.

The biggest problem with Alabama's schedule is they don't get to play Alabama. 

[Snaggletiger]

FUGA is pretty stout on D, only giving up 303 total yards and 17.7 points a game.  The problem they'll have tomorrow is they don't rush the passer very gooder with just 16 sacks for the entire season.  If they can't get to Two'r, day toast.

Congruently converse and somewhat opposing opposite to that, Bama has put the QB in the sack 40 times while only giving up 11 on the year.  I think the only way FUGA has a chance is to take a cue from Auburn, of all peeps, and realize you can run the ball a little on them.

[Snaggletiger]

On another note, hey FUGA fan, fuck off.  Otherwise, my advice is if you lose, don't pass out on any restaurant tables around the stadium.

I just hope they let you take the mannequin home this time.

Her name is LMNOP, thank you.  That's pronounced LAH-Mena-pee.

Oh that's a brilliant name. So original and classy.

MAC Championship: NIU 30, Buffalo 29

Missed on this one. A 7-5 team found a way to get by a 10-2 team.m NIU's QB threw 300 yards and 4 TDs including the game winner in the final minutes. Buffalo can now join their NFL counterpart in shame over in the corner.

[The Six]

PAC 12 Championship: Washington 10, Utah 3.

There are entertaining defensive struggle games and then there was this. I saw not one, but TWO interceptions (one for each team) where the ball caromed off a WRs leg/foot into the hands of a DB. Washington's DB returned it for the only TD of the game. Like I said, there's good defense and then there's two inept offenses. 

Washington is going to get DESTROYED in the Rose Bowl.
