| WEEK 8 |
| Washington (22), (17) at USC (19), (20): Final Score: USC, 41-21 CFN: USC, 34-24 16.6 points Harmon: Joe: USC, 35-28 16.0 points Best team in the PAC 10 (for now at least). The Washingtons of this world can't handle the USCs of this world. It says a lot that I can pick a definite best team out of this conference. I think USC is a top 12 team. They're just good. And sexy. Name three people who went to USC. Was this your list? Mark McGwire, O.J. Simpson, my dad? I thought so. Me too. G: USC, 35-13 18.0 points I really hate the Pac-10. I don�t even know why. Maybe cuz they�renever on TV, for one, and two, they just beat each other up. No one is ever really good, they just all beat up on each other. So they all end with like 3 losses, to different teams. Making them all look really good cuz they tend to blow out each other too! Even better, well�another blow out coming up right here. Hope yer ready. The young Tuiasosopo or whatever will have a good day. I just like the name really, he�ll prolly do terrible. USC is just too saweeeeeet! Phil: USC, 34-24 16.6 points I've told you about these Pac 10 games. Never ever truss' em. I guess USC is good enough on D to win this one. Watch the Huskies score 52 pts. on 'em because of me typing that. Non-showcase Picks: Georgia Tech at Maryland (U), (44): Final Score: Maryland, 34-10 CFN: Maryland, 27-24 13.0 points Harmon: Joe: Maryland, 31-28 12.2 points Oy. As soon as we beat West Virginia, this became the biggest game of our season. Once we squeak this one out against an injury-plagued GT, Clemson becomes the biggest game of the season. Georgia Tech. I don't know. Can we win? I don't see why not. We finally showed some life on offense last week. Let's hope it continues. Suter could be the difference, because he's the man. G: Maryland, 27-16 16.0 points This game will be SICK! It won�t be a packed house cuz of the shootings which sux :( but still, we�ll play big and they won�t. Of course they�ll convert those 3rd and longs like we let every mediocre team do. But those 3rd and shorts will be shutdown territory. The D is ready for everything they are bringin. The offense has never looked better since the Ga Tech game last year and this is a subpar Tech team. Our offense has grown tremendous amounts since the first quarter of the WVU game. We did more growing in that game alone than maybe the whole first half of the season! Unfortunately, I have to admit that we have yet to play a close 4th quarter game. We only needed to play a quarter and a half last game and before that we barely needed to show up. Tonight, we need everyone to be there and to be ready to crack some asses! Tech is coming off a big loss to Wake Forest who shut down their only back for 47 yards�.and they don�t� have EJ or Leon Joe or basically one of the best linebacker corps in the nation. Bottom line on the Terps, they�ll be ready and I hope Tech is ready as well! Allen will get over 130 rushing yards while splitting time with starter Chris Downs who will approach 80 yards rushing. This will have to be won on the ground for us, but McBrien will have to use his arm to get us out of trouble, and their secondary will let up very few big plays if any. I hate putting the word �rivalry� on such a game, but get ready for a instant-classic-rivalry game! The score will be deceiving. They�ll turn the ball over in the last few minutes and we�ll score to put it out of reach with less than a minute left! Phil: Maryland, 24-17 14.7 points "Booty Boy" didn't have anything to say about this one, so I'll just mention that Mary likes to call him "Booty Boy" Ohio State (4), (4) at Wisconsin (39), (34) (Joe's Pick): Final Score: Ohio State, 19-14 CFN: Ohio State, 31-27 17.2 points Harmon: Joe: Ohio State, 35-28 16.4 points Wisconsin probably doesn't want to lose 3 in a row. They probably don't have a choice though. The one thing that will keep this close is the fact that it's in Madison. And Anthony Davis. And the fact that badgers are viscious. Real badgers, not the Wisconsin Badgers. It's occured to me recently that Iowa is most likely the best team in the Big Ten, which is kind of weird. Given three choices, I pick, in order, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan. Look for other teams to pass Ohio State in next week's fiesta picks. G: Ohio State, 31-13 15.0 points Ohio state = sick!! Clarett is one of the classiest guys in all of college football, and I hope he has one hell of a day today. I kow he will. We�ll see right? Trust me, claret will have two TD�s atleast in a Buckeye win! Phil: Ohio State, 24-21 18.2 points I hear some are picking the Badgers to pull off the upset. I ain't one of 'em, gramps. Yeah, you, Arun. With your programming video games where a tortilla gives you nine points. Haha. Clarett wants to go pro. Hold on to your britches there, young'n. Yain't even gots to the meat of the Big 10 schedule, boy! continued..... |
