Lets talk about...football

With that title, I'm sure my readership just dropped off by 70%.

OK, so last Saturday gave me a taste of the sweet sweet competitiveness I've been longing for. Too bad USC didn't lose, but VA Tech played a great game. Something tells me USC won't be on top for long.

The VA Tech-USC game was just a tease, however, because I then had to endure this whole week without ANY games. Luckily, we've got 2 games tonight. Texas A &M @ Utah and Northwestern @ TCU. Granted, these won't be the most exciting, and nothing really hangs in the balance. But, it will give me enough of a fix to make it through to Saturday when OSU plays Cincy.

OK, now lets make some predictions...I've decided to do this for the games I think will count the most every week. Which means, the games, which when played will make the most impact on the overall rankings. This week, I suppose I should make predictions about all the games since all the teams aren't playing within their conference and most of the teams they are playing are pretty soft. I am a bit worried about OSU-Cincy. Just because in 2002 they almost killed us. It would hurt pretty bad to lose the first game. But, I'm not a fairweather fan. So, win or lose, I will still be around next week. I think I will just make predictions on whether the teams will win or lose. I'm so bad at picking scores.

OSU over Cincy
FL over Tenn St.
Wiconsin over UCF
WVA over E Carolina
Virginia over Temple
LSU over Oregon St.
Oklanhoma over Bowling Green
Missouri over Ark St.
Cali over Air Force
Texas over N Texas
Michigan over Miami (OH)
Kansas St. over W Kentucky
Iowa over Kent State
Minnesota over Toledo
Auburn over LA Monroe
Purdue over Syracuse
Georgia over GA South
Tennessee over UNLV
Clemson over Wake Forest
MD over N Ill.

Granted, I picked all of the favored teams, but like I said, who would want to lose their first game. Certainly not a ranked team.
