We’re coming up on another weekend of big time college football games. On slate there are four games between top 25 teams, including one match up of top 10 teams. Plus the state of Michigan tries to not embarrass itself again.
Illinois at Wisconsin - Hey, Illini, welcome to the Everyone Beats Wisconsin Club.
Texas Tech at Kansas – Kansas has lost two games this year and both were to ranked teams. Tech is ranked eighth. I see the trend continuing. But even with a loss, KU will still be in first place in the Big XII North. Welcome back to reality Big XII North, where you aren’t that good and the South is by far the better division yet the second place team gets screwed out of championship game so some .500 team from the North can play in it even though they’ll lose by 45.
Northwestern at Indiana - Don’t look now but the Wildcats can win the Big Ten. An Ohio State win over Penn State and then NW beats OSU. Crazy? Yeah, a little but commenter/brother Scott pointed out the last time Northwestern won the Big Ten outright, 1995, they had a experienced senior running back (Darnell Autry) and quarterback (Steve Schnur) and the Chuck Bednarik Award and Bronko Nagurski winner in a linebacker named Pat Fitzgerald. Now, they have a senior running back, Tyrell Sutton, senior quarterback, C.J. Bacher, and a coach named Pat Fitzgerald. I’m just saying.
Minnesota at Purdue – Really? Both Minnesota and Northwestern are ranked? This is a crazy college football season.
Oklahoma at Kansas State - The Sooners win by 50 and Bradford might not throw an incomplete pass.
Kentucky at Florida - UK should call up Wilbur and see if he wants to play linebacker for them again. Give that guy a scholarship. UK in an upset.
Olkahoma State at Texas – The big game of the week. No. 6 vs No. 1. The easy pick is to say Texas rolls. But the way the last two seasons have gone, I’m taking the Cowboys in a game that will see over 110 points.
Georgia at LSU – Without the aid of Wilbur, LSU’s defense won’t come up with the big stop they need.
Penn State at Ohio State – Whenever Penn State host a night game, they “white out” the place. Will Ohio State be just as gay and “red out” or “gray out” the Shoe? The Buckeyes looked awesome against Michigan State last week. Is that the real offense? Or is Michigan State that bad? What Penn State team is for real? The first half against Michigan or the second? The game will come down to the end when Pryor will have to make a play. The question is will he? Does it help that Penn State sees a Pryor like QB everyday in practice? I got to take Penn State making the stop they need.
Michigan State at Michigan - Last weekend the state of Michigan, their football was embarrassed. I don’t see either coming back and totally redeeming themselves. Michigan just isn’t good so why would I ever think they would. And if MSU wins, it’s not like anyone is going to say, oh, they are a good team after all. Ringer could run for 658 yards. But I had a feeling Michigan would be Wisconsin way back win and I got a feeling they’ll win this game too. It’s a rivalry game so anything is possible, right? I sure hope so. I stand by my preseason prediction of MSU being an overrated team that will go 6-6. Last week started them on their annual path of disappointment.
Texas Tech pulled some idiot off of campus to kick for them for the rest of the season. They didn’t impress me last weekend and I think Kansas at least beats the spread.
Ah, yes, the 1995 Northwestern Wildcats won the Big Ten with a 10-1 overall record and a trip (to get killed) to the Rose Bowl. They opened the season with a win over a Notre Dame team that seemingly never lost to them. They lost at home the next week but then ran the table to earn the right of being destroyed by USC.
Wait, who did they lose to anyway? Oh yeah! I was there. RedHawks 31, NW 28. Miami scores 24 points in the 4th quarter including the game-winning field goal as time expired. Your history lesson is complete for today.
Didnt you read about Tressel’s press conference? He is encouraging all fans to wear as much red as possible. Fag!
Thanks G. And NW didn’t get killed in the Rose Bowl. At least by just looking at the final score, 32-41, but I don’t remember the game so it might have been worse than that.
Thanks Scott. That is what I wanted to hear. Way to be original Buckeyes!
Hopefully we lay down an original ass kicking on Saturday. I am not saying the Buckeyes are the superior team, but who has Penn State even played this season. Their toughest game was against Illinois. And when someone with somewhat of a defense (team up north) played them, they hung with them for a little while. I’d say stack the box and make the QB beat you. Their QB can hand the ball off and can dink and dunk, but I want to see him makes some plays down the field before I am sold on him. I am hoping we punch them in the mouth early and they have to play catchup the rest of the game. If that happens, I think OSU comes away with a W.
you having this “feeling” that michigan is going to win when you write about college football every week is getting pretty old, especially when they lose almost every week. you must be confusing michigan winning with the feeling of you actually having sex with a girl, instead of all the boys you like….
I’m not really sure I understand the comparison. So Michigan is the boy and rooting for them is having sex with them? Or having sex with a girl is like Michigan winning? Normally you got funny stuff to say but that was pretty weak. And of course as a Michigan fan I’m going to have a feeling Michigan is going to win. Just like you have a feeling every week Ohio State is going to win. Come stronger Seal. I expect more from you.
Not true at all, im a huge browns fan and i dont expect them to win every week at all!
Ill Wisconsin, Georgia, Ohio State and Michigan…
