| Texas (8), (8) at Kansas State (17), (19): Final Score: Texas, 17-14 CFN: Texas, 30-27 17.4 points Harmon: Joe: Texas, 35-31 16.2 points Another incredible Big XII game. Tell me this isn't the best football conference in the country. OK, maybe PAC 10 is better, just because every game is potentially great. I was really torn on this one. I've always liked Texas, but Kansas State is my "team of the year" to root for. I gotta go for Texas, but I'll be happy either way. Look for Simms to not suck this week, and look for Sproles to roll all day. This will be a shootout. Or not a shootout. Whatever happens, it'll be a close show-down. G: Kansas State, 21-20 12.8 points What the hell is Chris Simms all about. He may have had his last chance at proving himself last weekend. Today people will be looking at Eli Roberson and what these�.you know what? I don�t even know what K State�s mascot is, I know it�s some sort of cat? Is it a leopard? Kansas State Leopards? Naw, sounds too much like leotards. That would suck. I think it�s wildcats or something. Oh well, either way, their Tenacious D will fuck Chris Simms gently. ;) like that Phil!? You ass�. Anyways, KState�s D is way too SICKK for Texas to handle, and Eli will have a good day with the ball today. Eli, we love you over here at 2209C Calvert Hall�yer fans are getting rowdy for you every Saturday baby! Phil: Kansas State, 35-20 7.2 points Let the disappointments continue. There will be no rebound game in Manhattan. Ell Roberson and the 'Cats will make sure the Longhorns are officially "reeling." I really don't like Texas. They get high rankings handed to them every year and they can never beat a really good team. Notre Dame (7), (7) at Air Force (18), (15): Final Score: Notre Dame, 21-14 CFN: Notre Dame, 27-24 17.2 points Harmon: Joe: Air Force, 17-14 11.6 points How do you stop this option? I don't know, but if there's anyone this side of Oklahoma who can do it, it's Notre Dame. Willingham seems pretty smart, and probably has the Irish preparing to stop them for two plays in a row, no matter what and make Air Force convert third downs. That is if they can stop the option, which seems pretty unstoppable. If they can stop the option, though, Air Force doesn't have much else. This will put me into some kind of unwritten record book for most wrong predictions about one team (5 so far) G: Notre Dame, 27-23 17.6 points Well�.the air is thin, the teams are ready, there are zero losses between the two teams this year, and yes, I�m nekkid. I bet when ND made this game a few years ago with AFA, they were thinking (easy win) and AFA was thinking (national television opportunity). Now this game may become the most watched game this year. I heard this game is at 10 o�clock �at night. That means 7 o�clock on the west coast, which means they don�t have to wake up at 9 to see ND for once�plus the only game featuring two undefeated teams this week. Should be a dooooozy! One thing I have to say about ND. They don�t have very many pro prospects on their D unlike most great defenses, but still, they have what many people would call �ball-hawks�. They see ball they go. I remember against UMD, Shane Walton intercepted something like 3 passes or something, and one of those passes he caught it, and ran down the field with it in one hand as if it were his all along. ND is one of the most disciplined team and theyare SO good, that last week two of the Irish fought for a pass that was �thrown away� by Rutherford last week. They definitely have the best combined corner in the east. As Corso said, �there are a million catholics� on the east coast, and the Irish will hear them all away in the AFA! Phil: Notre Dame, 21-16 19.2 points This could be Notre Dame's biggest test yet, though people say that every week. This hurts me, because I really would like to see Air Force crash the BCS. I love teams with a great triple option attack. A shame they have to play Notre Dame. I think the Irish D is one of the nation's best, and I'm willing to bet Willingham will have them plenty prepared to defend the option. Iowa State (9), (13) at Oklahoma (2), (2): Final Score: Oklahoma, 49-3 CFN: Oklahoma, 31-27 6.8 points Harmon: Joe: Oklahoma, 31-21 9.2 points Seneca Wallace, meet Oklahoma D. Oklahoma D, Seneca Wallace. Neither has seen an opponent of this caliber yet. I guess Oklahoma D has seen Mizzou's QB. I forget his name. Brad whatsi-hoosie, which is closer to Seneca Wallace than Oklahoma is to any defense Iowa State will ever see. Wallace doesn't have to win to stay atop the Heisman race, but he has to have at least a good showing. I think he will. How do you prepare for him? The only thing I could think of was to bring some dogs on the field and make the players chase them around. That's what Wallace is like. A dog. With arms and a helmet. G: Iowa State, 24-20 -0.8 points Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Oklahoma just isn�t the same team. Hybl throws 4 or 5 int�s but gets 2 touchdowns to win against Texas? Unacceptable. Oh yah, BTW. This girl I know, has the last name Osborne, and I asked if she was related to Kelly Osbourne, and she said �who?�. How do you not know someone who has the same name as you! But anyways back to football. Have you guys seen how Seneca Wallace has been slippin lately? Yah, me neither! Seneca is playin like his team is undefeated, and they would be closer, if football games were layed for 60:10 seconds. All he needed was enuff time to run one more play against FSU and he�d have a W instead of an L. Seneca will have another great game, and you won�t! Phil: Iowa State, 28-23 -0.4 points I really hope that the Cyclones can pull off the upset. They deserve it. I like it when teams like the 'Clones rise up like Petey Pablo. Those Sooners have it coming to 'em, too, playin' all disappointing and all. Seneca Wallace is the man to get the job done. Do it, Seneca! continued...... |
