| Non-showcase Picks: |
| Alabama (26), (U) at Arkansas (32), (31) (Joe's Pick): Final Score: Alabama, 30-12 GUEST SAGE KRIS: Alabama, 32-17 18.4 points Harmon: Arkansas, 27-16 6.2 points CFN: Arkansas, 17-13 7.2 points Joe: Alabama, 28-24 14.8 points Yee-haw. This game doesn't have too much bearing on the nation. Just a great middle of the pack SEC battle. Bama gave Oklahoma a run for their money, and took Middle Tennessee State out early. As I was looking at this game, I was trying to picture a time when Alabama would be considered a powerhouse. I think I like that more than Florida. Come back, Crimson Tide or, as Cathy would say "the periods". G: Alabama, 20-10 16.4 points How is Arkansas gonna score? Thas the only question. They ain�t runnin da ball�they ain�t passin da ball for sure�shit. They gon� have to return a kick�.sorry Clinton, yer team ain�t winnin it today big man. Bama will have this game locked up by the 2nd quarter and they will continue to lock the razorbacks down but will give up the ball once in their own territory and give up an easy touchdown. But Bama plays up to the level of their competition and beyond. If they can get the first touchdown, Arkansas�s defense will get tired and give up more rushing yards. This has potential to be the closest game of the year, but I don�t think it will be. Bama has too many weapons�.Good country ass SEC battle though! Phil: Arkansas, 20-17 8.2 points Alabama is on dat dere probation, Billy Jack, and I'll tell you whut, Houston Nutt's got a rared' up squad just fixin' to hitch dem britches up when dey gots dem itches, Cedric Cobbs yes'm. Iowa (U), (40) at Penn State (12), (12) (Joe's Pick): Final Score: Iowa, 42-35 GUEST SAGE KRIS: Penn State, 33-16 5.0 points Harmon: Iowa, 21-20 14.6 points CFN: Penn State, 38-28 8.8 points Joe: Penn State, 35-31 10.6 points Iowa should be ranked. Iowa State should be ranked. Iowa..heh heh. They suck, as a state. At least their football is good now. Penn State really looks good, and I have them #12 on my Fiesta list, but this is one of the games that will cause them hemmorhaging. Whether I spelled that word right or not, I don't care. Whether the game will be close or not, I don't know. Look for Penn State to need to try hard to keep the feisty Iowas down though. I thought Penn State was highly overranked at the beginning of the season. They've proved me wrong so far. If they blow Iowa out, I'll take back anything I ever said. What the...."Barber Shop" is the #1 movie in America 2 weeks in a row according to that commercial....what a gay time for movies. G: Penn State, 27-15 5.8 points Iowa has to bounce back from last week while PSU has to keep the ball rolling. After last year, good ol� Happy Valley is Ecstatic Divot! Ya feel me! Joe Pa sthinks he still has a few more years in him? Well�his players seem to agree�He doesn�t have Kevin Jones like he should, but he has Zack Mills and he�s going to use him until the day�s done! Zack Mills proved himself to be an Ijamsville legend, and after his head coach at Urbana coaxed him into becoming a Lion like he was himself, Zack saw that his uniform hadn�t changed since he�d been at Urbana. He started playing like the team that he won those state championships with and those undefeated seasons with. He realized that he didn�t have Billy Gaines anymore, but he had something better in the Johnson�s�Bryant and Larry. Once he started utilizing the tools he�d learned at Urbana and just played�..he hasn�t shown me the loser I once wanted him to be. If yer gonna rep the state of Maryland, might as well do it while winning. He�ll roll once again throw Happy Valley and the Hawkeye�s D. Phil: Penn State, 30-24 8.8 points Iowa has been tougher than a varmint in a briar patch. However, they lack JoePa. What a great combination of names. JoePa. He'll increase his lead over Papa Bobby "Dadgum" Bowden, but it won't be easy. Wofford at Maryland (G's Pick): Final Score: Maryland, 37-8 GUEST SAGE KRIS: Maryland, 44-3 16.2 points Harmon: Maryland, 40-6 18.4 points CFN: Maryland, 38-7 19.4 points Joe: Maryland, 42-14 18.6 points Why do we schedule EMU and Wofford back-to-back? I'd much rather see a terrible real team than Wofford. Just going for a win? Play Army!!! Not Wofford. I think my streak of going to every home game ends at this game. Stupid Wofford. G: Maryland, 42-13 19.0 points What can I say. Their leading receiver is legally blind��..25 blind catches. Wofford is 3 � 0 and almost beat Clemson and south Carolina in the past; Last year I believe. Wofford is a hard team to stop because they are not a traditional hard nosed team. They know that they do not have the talent to beat a team face to face, so they go for the knees�literally. This team is known for their infamous cut blocks on anyone in an opposing jersey. They also run a LOT of option and a LOT of jailbreaks, which in my opinion is the hardest play in college football to stop. Akron scored on us using the Jailbreak, and EMU almost broke one on us using the same play. Purdue uses it all the time, and with Vinny Sutherland over there, they scored a hell of a lot with it! Wofford is in my opinion a I-AA school with potential to upset atleast 60 of the 117 I-A schools. With Bruce possibly out for another week for precautionary reasons, that bumps the true freshman all-american, Josh Allen, up to number two behind Chris Downs. Expect Josh to play maybe 3 quarters if not four and rck up close to 200 yards on the ground. Scott and CK will throw picks of course, but they will also throw 3 td�s together. Go Terps�.WVU next week and Scotty will get revenge against his old school hopefully. Phil: Maryland, 41-9 18.6 points Why. I understand we go to Maryland, but did we really need to pick the Wofford game, G? Their leading WR is legally blind! Not legally blonde, like Reese Witherspoon. She's hot. Hot and talented. What she's doing with that stupid talentless prick Ryan Phillippe is beyond me. Get with the program, Reese, honey. Do some independent stuff too, before the likes of "Sweet Home Alabama" drag you down. You're too good for that. I love Reese Witherspoon. continued |
