Week 2 was a bummer, dude. When I turned on the Auburn game, I honestly wasn't expecting a win. I had the War Eagles winning in last week's predictions, but that was just because I can't pick against them. I really wanted us to be competitive. I wanted Co Chad to show me something to give hope that we now have someone running things that knows how to scheme, to game plan, to call plays and use the talent we have properly. That was a big negative on all fronts. And then you look across the State and see your biggest rival with an as advertised performance, stealing Aggies' soul like a Ginger. Now we're in a nothing to gain/everything to lose situation against Arky. But more on that later.
Florida @ A&M: So far, Mullen’s offense has been a well oiled machine. Trask is getting some legit Heisman buzz and Kyle Pitts has NFL teams drooling all over themselves. The surprise though, is the D hasn’t been up to normal Gusty Gaytah standards. Mond and the Aggies moved the ball pretty more gooder at times against the Tahd, and I would expect more of the same against The University of Jorts. Some might call for an upset special. I don’t think Fisher’s Faggies have enough fire power to keep up the pace.
Florida: 42
TA&M: 24
Oklahoma @ Texas: The Red River Shootout may be just that. These are two shitty defenses. Chokelahomo is 1-2 for the first time in how long? Texas had to go to overtime and score 63 to escape Texas Tech. Personally, I don’t give a rat’s ass about either one, but this is normally a premiere game in any given season.
Texas: 52
Okie: 50
Tennessee @ Georgia: I don’t want to give the mangy dawgs too much credit after they manhandled our sorry butts this past weekend. While they dominated our faces from the opening bell, they still didn’t blow us out on the scoreboard. I’m not saying that as some sort of consolation prize for keeping it within 3 scores. I mention that because they may not be a very good offensive team, at least not on a level that looks MNC ready.
Anyone realize that Cheetos U. has the longest current win streak in the SEC? They started out last season wondering if Jeremy Pruitt was a mistake of epic proportions. Since then, they’ve quietly gone about their business and found ways to dispatch of everybody in front of them. Jared Guantanamo Bay has slowly developed into a solid QB and now he leads the really large T’s into Athens with a chance to put them on the map. I think Georgia is one of those teams that’s going to do enough on offense and rely on that nasty D to win games. Look for this one to be close:
Georgia: 28
Tennessee: 24
Miami @ Clemson: How many times has The U been “back� Despite what so many want to believe can happen as far as the Hurry Canes getting that in-your-face swagger back, they’d better just nip it….nip it in the bud. The days of Michael Irvin and Murdering Ray Lewis etc. are long gone. College football has taken any semblance of the bad boy persona out of the game. Now, you get flagged for pointing a finger at someone. That being said, Miami looks like a pretty good football team this year. D’eriq King is legit and that offense has progressed each week, scoring 31, 47 and 52 points.
Clemson is Clemson. They’ve loaded up athletes at every position for years now from all indications, it’s business as usual. Jeff Spicoli is back at QB and the media’s frontrunner for the Heisman. Travis ATM didn’t jump to the NFL and returns to gash opposing D-lines. No need to go into the orange Tigers too much. They’re good. And given the “strength†of the ACC, this will most likely be their biggest test of the season. I like Climpsum, but don’t be surprised if they have to sweat this one out.
Clemson: 35
Miami: 28
Arkansas @ Auburn: As I said above, this is a no win game for Auburn. Maybe we should take that statement literally after last week. Arky got their first SEC win in 17 years, surprisingly against the team that gutted LSU. They’re on a 1 game roll and I imagine they feel pretty good about themselves. The Planesmenz are licking their wounds and may just be thinking, we’re not very good. Auburn can’t run the ball. Our pass protection is abysmal. Our play calling is teh suxxors, and our D is neither fast or physical. Oh, and our Aussie punter can’t boot it 35 yards. Still, I have to think we have more athletes. At least I hope we do. I’m glad I’ll be in the mountains this weekend and won’t get to watch what I think is going to be one helluva ugly game.
Auburn: 24
Arkansas: 20
Opine away.
