Week 8 Picks and Predictions

With each day that goes by, we inch closer to another week of college football. Let me start off by saying; My picks sucked last week. But this is a new week. With the match up of the year so far. Spectacular. Should be a fun week, hopefully as exciting and unpredictable as last week. And as for the National Championship, I have who I think is going o win it all. And it ain't an SEC team.

Miami vs North Carolina
Miami? #10 in the country? Three ACC teams in the top ten? I bet the SEC homers aren't crabby at all, screaming at the rankings while they drink their "championship beer". Well anyway, Miami comes ready tomorrow night.
Miami 42, UNC 23

UCF vs Louisville
A UCF team that gave South Carolina trouble comes to town, and Louisville struggled against Rutgers. You better bet I have the knights in an upset.
WeAlmostBeatSCar 30, Birdies 24

Arkansas vs Alabama
Roll Tide! Roll Tide! Roll Tide! Well at least they aren't conference homers like the other SEC bottom feeders. But dear Bama fans; Try not to be too obnoxious about this win. It's Arkansas.
RollTide 49, Arkansas 7

Washington State vs Oregon
Washingon State?
Ducks 53, Washington State 17

Iowa vs Ohio State
We are national champions! Not Buckeyes. You are not National contenders, much less Champions.
#Overrated 38, Hawkeyes 20

LSU vs Ole Miss
Upset Alert! Ole Mrs. can be pretty pesky. Especially with that "Nkemdiche" or whatever his name is. (Who listened to his Mom and ended up on a 6-6 team) Is LSU prone to an upset Saturday? I'd say Tiger fans shouldn't be very worried. But really LSU fans. It's go. Not Geaux. I's really irritating hearing people say that. Now stop.
Tigers of DEAF Valley 34, Mama's boys 19

Auburn vs Texas A&M
Manziel. Heisman. Johnny football. One "Johnny" can't carry a whole team forever. But I think; as much as I want Auburn to win, A&M puts together a much needed team effort to slip past Auburn. But one thing. Auburn? Tigers or War Eagles? You can't have two mascots.
Manziels 37, War Tigers 30

UCLA vs Stanford
If this game were at the Rose Bowl, I'd pick the Bruins. Brett Hundly looks pretty legit, but they will need a complete effort to get past the Trees at their place. Stanford lost to Utah last week. Nuff said. But I'm done with Trees. Out with the overrated Cardinal!
Trees 35, UCLA 34- I'm not done with Trees!

South Carolina vs Tennessee
The Volunteers are sick of being told they suck. But lets be honest. They suck. But maybe, they can hang with SCar for a while. I'm not sure though. The visors are quite unpredictable.
Cocks 45, WeUsedToBeTennessee 21

Iowa State vs Baylor
Baylor's offense wasn't quite the same against the Kansas State Wildcats, but maybe this could be their redemption game. What is that you say? Iowa State is 87th in scoring defense? Oh no.
Bears 56, Iowa State 28

Florida vs Missouri
No James Franklin? Florida's defense? Bad combination for Mizzou.
Crocodiles 24, WENEEDJAMESFRANKLIN 17

Georgia vs Vanderbilt
Well the Bulldogs lost to Missouri I see. If Georgia doesn't get Gurly back soon, their season could be over. But it doesn't quite end Saturday.
UGA 33, SEC SEC SEC 20

Texas Tech vs West Virginia
Remember this game last year? Texas Tech routed the top ten ranked Mountaineers. But really. Don't be ridiculous West Va fans. Texas Tech never chokes. They won't lose to a West Va team that was shut out 37-0 by Maryland....or will they?
Raiders 41, I'mMarriedToMySisters 20

UNLV vs Fresno State.
Oh, Fresno is in the Moutain West? That explains a lot
The New Boise State 52, UNLV? 17

Oklahoma vs Kansas
Kansas Football. That is all.
Sooners 59, JAYYYYYY Hawks 20

Washington vs Arizona State
Oh Washington. You tested Oregon. And you could've won it, right? I can't tell if this team is overrated or not but....YOU SHOULD HAVE BEAT STANFORD.
Washington 38, Arizona State 35

TCU vs Oklahoma State
TCU has almost beaten a ranked team; Oklahoma, in a heart breaker for Horned Frog fans everywhere. They also hang with LSU. So, watch out Cowboys. Always remember, you lost to West Va.
Cowboys 27, Unicorn Frogs 24

Northern Illionois vs Central Michigan
Who honestly cares about this game?
NIU 44, WhatOnEarthIsAChippawa 17

Wisconsin vs Illinois
Are the Badgers for real? If they lost to Ohio State, the answer is a resounding no. 
Wisconsin 45, Illini 31

Extra Picks; 
Ga Tech 31, Syracuse 17
Notre Dame 32, USC 24
Cinncinnatti 21, Connecticut 9
N'Western 28, Minnesota 13
Maryland 30, Wake Forest 21
Duke 34, Virginia 28
Oregon State 45, Cal 20

And now for the Game of the Week:
#5 Florida State vs #3 Clemson
    Clemson has Tajh Boyd. Florida State has Jameis Winston. Clemson has Vic Beasley. Florida State has LaMarcus Joyner. This is a game truly stacked with talent. And interesting coach names as well. Dabo vs Jimbo. I'm going to call this the ACC championship, as well as the Bo' Bowl.
     The hype for this top-5 match up has been rising ever since the Tigers beat Georgia, and freshman quarterback Jameis Winston has been on a roll. But the Tigers D has taken a step up from last year, will it be enough to stop the sensational Winston?
     Death Valley, SC. Where BCS hopes and dreams, come screeching to a halt, shrivel, and die. The Clemson crowd even is attempting to break the loudest sports event record, which is currently 137.6 decibels. But perhaps this is the biggest game of the year, because in this game, the winner still has a shot at the championship. The loser is done for in terms of championship hopes. (But in the SEC, a one loss team is still legit for some reason).
    Can Winston handle a hostile environment such as this? Only time will tell. But don't forget Clemson has a star quarterback of their own. Tajh Boyd, senior quarterback. Breaking records with every game it seems, this duel threat QB is Clemson's hope to win this game. He knows this is his last chance, his last year to win it all at Clemson, and the pressure is on him. Get ready for the ACC's big show Saturday  night.
     My prediction? This is a coin-flip for me. The winner would be inevitable to pick in a game such as this. Plus I don't want FSU/Clemson fans calling me "bias" or whatever. But expect a high scoring, extremely close, hard fought game. I can't wait.
         I sadly have no pick for this game.


And now for the special top 5:
Top 5 most annoying fan bases:
5) Florida 
4) South Carolina
3) Georgia
2) Alabama/Ohio State
1) Anyone that chants SEC.

Have a nice weekend!
