Never expected Ole Miss to beat The Tide in Tusk-a-loose-ah or Stanford to take apart USC. A week o' surprises. -- Al
I watched that whole Bama game and came away with the conclusion that The Football Gods were all betting on Ole Miss. Never seen a team try so hard to lose as Bama (5 turnovers) and still have a chance to win with a final possession. Ole Miss needs to count it's blessings. -- AlStanford played a flawless game against SC. Dominated the line, time of possession, no turnovers, converted third downs. SC helped by sitting back and giving Hogan all day to throw. Brutal game plan by Sark. Played to all Stanford's strengths. At least Bama lost. I always like to see Lame Kiffin exposed.
It goes beyond the UM defense, the UMd offense is just terrible. Their QB play is a bad joke and looking at their schedule, perhaps multiple forfeits are in order...:rolleyes2: -- AlFour of the top eight teams went down this week. A couple got crushed at home. College football is a strange game. ASU got run out of their stadium last week against USC. This week they go into the Rose Bowl and close out #7 UCLA. Night and day performance. Al- I tried to watch the MD game but between the rain and the Terps offense (not to mention the typical Jim Harblow grind it out game) it was real ugly. MD had a chance if they had any offense whatsoever but they had absolutely nothing. They got stoned by the UM defense.
Sure...Northwestern finally has a premier game against a ranked team and Combat falls down on the job of making his weekly picks!
I'd better fill in:
Northwestern 13 Michigan 10 - A battle of two strong defenses against two weak offenses. Michigan is getting love because they are Michigan. Yes, I'm a homer!
Ohio State 100 Maryland 2 - OSU's long snapper will score the only points for Maryland by hiking it over the punter's head through the end zone. Oh wait, that would imply that Maryland stopped the OSU offense...
Navy 21 Notre Dame 17 - The Golden Domers, fresh off a loss, will come out flat and lay an egg against the undefeated Midshipmen.
Cal 28 Utah 21 - Let's continue the trend of top teams getting picked off
Nice job on short notice, keeping the humor going too is important.
Come on Doug, I look forward to your picks every week; if you are out, it will be a new segment here on TFT, "Pete's picks"...........has a nice ring to it, or, "Padre Pete's picks" is ever better, or triple P for short...........
