I think it’s snowing in hell because I actually agree with most of your picks. The only “upset” switch I’d make is Ole Miss beating Bama. I don’t see LSU losing to Spurrier. With Bama and Texas losing, Penn State will claim the top spot this week. I just hope Sports Illustrated holds off on the cover shot until after the Ohio State game. Don’t need the SI Cover jinx.

I mean what is more riveting than:

Ga Tech v Clemson- let’s just hope this coach doesn’t cross Harper. What a baby.

Miami v Duke- someone needs to tell Duke that you never take a slide ruler to a knife fight.

Wake Forest v Maryland- the storied tradition of this rivalry err well not so much.

UNC v Virginia- What do they eat at this tailgate? Scones, apple butter and tea?

And this is a big weekend in the ACC

vandy’s qb is pesky and gutty but vandy will be finally exposed some in Athens..not enough of a running game for vandy to have a real chance.. LSU beats Carolina in a close one though..Carolina proving to be not so bad after all Bama wins big at home with the bye week rest.. Texas wins at home..Mizzou got exposed last weekend..Chase not so good when he has pressure and they dont have a defense..Texas out scores them Penn State overrated..their lack of depth on defense will begin to show as the schedule FINALLY gets a little tougher..if they make it to the title game they will get crushed by an SEC team or Texas or USC and everybody knows it

The Gamecocks have become the fashionable upset pick this week. Several other pigskin prognosticators have picked them, also. As a Gamecock fan, that is troublesome. I would much rather we continue not getting any love from the pundits.

We’ll see if this sudden respect translates into success on the field Saturday night. One thing is for sure - Spurrier won’t forget last year’s fake field goal. The cocks are MUCH improved on special teams this year under Coach Rychleski.

Looks like Tony is trying to buck a trend and go with some unconventional picks.

The timing just sucked for my alma mater. Sure wish Clempson would have waited another week to make their move. Unfortunately for Tech, Clempson will ride a tide of emotion to a one-sided victory over Tech tomorrow.

Vandy/UGA might be close had it been in Nashville, but it ain’t gonna happen between the hedges. If necessary, look for some suspicious damaging penalties in the 4th quarter, but my sense is that it won’t be required. Vandy is paper thin.

The fashionable trend seems to be to trash LSU after their loss at the Swamp last week. Face it, South Carolina ain’t Florida, and Columbia ain’t the “Swamp”. LSU will get it done this week (and next).

I don’t know how anyone could pick Tennessee against any D-1A opponent this year. They really appear completely clueless. They may win, but I’d avoid picking them. Forced to pick this game, I’d take MSU. Their tough defense should give Fulmer’s troups more headaches than they can handle.

My “upset special” is UVA over UNC.

I had been concerned about Kentucky being the trap game on Bama’s schedule all season long, but I see this Saturday’s game against the Rebels as the most dangerous one yet for the Tide.

Ole Miss has the talent and they now have the coaching staff to make them contenders in the SEC. This game is huge for them. The Crimson Tide will have to bring their A game to survive this shootout. At least they have an A game now!

1- UGA should be able to run the ball against Vandy and control the game. Nothing fancy needed here, You are bigger, stronger, and deeper than Vandy so play some smash mouth. 2- New QB against a very strong, veteran D. Tech should win this one but their D needs to make a statement early and rattle the young QB. 3- Let’s see if Bama is ready to play, or if they are begining their second half melt down. If Bama wins in a blowout they are on their way to the SECCG and watch out Auburn! 4- I too thought the Gamecocks had an excellent chance at winning this game but they have a rookie QB going up against a good if not great D. But then so does LSU and their rookie is on the road. With two good Ds and two rookies at QB I am going with the home team. I pick the Gamecocks over LSU, and I can’t believe I am saying that. 5- Both offenses struggle, but UT has the better D. UT gave up their first rushing TD of the year against UGA and Missy St’s passing attack doesn’t worry me. UT wins. 6- UK’s go to reciever blew out his knee last Saturday and they didn’t have enough weapons to start with, so I am picking Arky. This is a border war so anything can happen, but I think Arky pulls it out. 7- Who cares, I am losing faith in Randy Shannon’s ability to motivate a team. The U played a good game against the Gators but has been losing ground since. Miami has the talent but Cutliff is a better game day coach. I can’t quite bring Myself to pick Duke so a very shaky vote for the Canes. 8- Wake should win on coaching alone, the way they win 90% of their games. 9- North Carolina is the better team, so I am picking Carolina. I don’t think it will be that close. 10- You forgot about the Defense Tony, Big Mo doesn’t have one! Texas in a shootout.

Maybe Alabama does beat Ole Miss but I am thinking that is perfect for the upset. I don’t think South Carolina is an upset looking at what we have on those two teams and they are playing in Columbia. I am sure the old ball coach thinks he should win in his heart but he has learned to be a little more closed mouth. And I really think Tech is going to lay one on a distracted and undercoached Clemson team.

Keep it simple, you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Penn State was believed to have a lack of depth on defense until the guys replacing the starters stepped up. There’s plenty of depth on the defense which is why they are only giving up an average of 12 points a game. The also rank in the top 15 in every defensive category in the country. I also wouldn’t be so quick to predict that IF Penn State made it to the NC game that they would get beat by an SEC or Big 12 team. Look at recent history buddy…Penn State usually beats the SEC and Big 12 in bowl games….and with this team surpassing the success of those previous teams, I’d say Penn State has the ability to beat anyone this year.

You’re out of your mind if you think that Paul Johnson is a threat to leave in the middle of his first season, which has been a success up to this point. I don’t see how Tommy Bowden getting fired on Monday, even if he was a cancer, would make Clemson stronger. Tech should win as easily as they SHOULD have beaten Gardner Webb with a 3rd string and non-option quarterback. Georgia [sadly] will be too much for Vandy. LSU will get beat by USC, VT will get beat by BC, UNC will beat Virginia, MSU over Tenn, Texas over Missouri, boxers over briefs, etc. Clemson names their next head coach and it will be Bobby Johnson, who will enjoy winning for a change.

Nick’s Son, It is obvious you know nothing about Mark Richt. It’s easy to sit behind a desk and criticize.

GT 42 Clemson 20 GT has huge team advantages going into this game.

Miami 33 Duke 17 Miami had very close, last minute/play losses to FSU and UNC. FSU & UNC are WAY better then Duke. Miami wins easily.

MD 23 Wake 20 Wake has NO running game. Stop the Wake pass game and commit no TO’s and MD wins.

UVA 30 UNC 23 UNC has lost some key players to injuries, and UVA has finally found running game, and a QB. UVA beatdown of MD was no fluke.

BC 27 VT 23 VT has VERY weak passing game, and has relied on rush game with QB accounting for large portion of rush yds. VT has also lost several key playmakers to injuries and suspensions. BC has VERY strong rush defense, and has more balanced rush/pass offense. BC shuts down VT run game and BC wins.

Sautee Dog-

We play in a tough conference and beat each other up. The refs don’t like us. These were 2 outstanding defensive teams. Did I mention that we won the game? GW was a last minute replacement. You guys scheduled Central Mich and Ga Southern in advance.

Ga will win tomorrow, but i think the real question is when will they get a signature win? I mean a win by at least three touchdowns. They need a win like that. I really think CMR and Mike Bobo should throw the bll more in a variety of ways like screens, bootlegs, roll outs, etc. The bulldogs cant line up and play smash mouth football with this banged up line. I think Georgia is saving something. I hope thats the case because this offense is so predictable right now. I look for the breakout game to be in Baton Rouge when the bulldogs will open that office up. Ga. 27 Vandy 10. Upset special Ole Miss 27 Bama 21. Dawg fans we will be ok but we better have it together against Florida because if we dont they will try to beat us by atleast 50.

LAST WEEK, I WAS 8 FOR 10 & BEAT TONY WHO WAS ONLY 3 FOR 10!!

I posted:

I had a good day with my predictions yesterday: {This takes my mind off Gardner-Webb.] October 10, 2008 8:41 PM | Link to this* I disagree with Tony: Longhorns beat #1 Sooners, Gators will upset LSU, Miss. State upsets Vandy, Gamecocks will derail Wildcats, Penn State beats Wisconsin. I concur: Dawgs get revenge on Vols, Tech will win big over GW [I hope they can get up for this game], Tarheels beat the Irish, Auburn over Arkansas. Mo. over Okla. St. *I was right on all my disagreements with Tony: 5 for 5! I was only wrong on 2 agreements: Arkansas [I started to pick them!] and Oklahoma State,[and that Tech would win big]. Overall, 8 out of 10 vs 3 out of 10 for him. Ha! Ha! I won!! See my note above about Tech. Obviously, they didn’t get up for the game!

This Week. I disagree with Tony: Miami 24 Duke 21 UVA 21 UNC 18 MD 28 WF 21 Texas 41 MO 31 Ark 14 Ky 13

I agree with the rest: Dawgs over Vandy, Jackets beat Clemson, Bama defeats Ole Miss, SC upsets LSU at home, Vols hold off Miss. State in a close one,

By not complaining said: “GT one of the best defensive fronts in the nation LOL, OMG, I can not stop laughing, they play in the weak ACC for crying out loud !!!!!”

WHY IS IT THAT THE “WEAK” ACC IS GETTING MORE PLAYERS DRAFTED BY THE NFL THAN THE “STRONG” SEC?

For those downgrading the ACC, the following graphic and comments were noted on Raycom TV during the GT-Miss. State game: “MORE PLAYERS WERE DRAFTED FROM THE ACC, 115, OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS THAN FROM ANY OTHER CONFERENCE! THIS INCLUDES THE #1,2, AND 3 PICKS: MATT RYAN, BC; CALVIN JOHNSON, GT; AND MARIO WILLIAMS, NC STATE!”

This was also noted in the AJC: http://www.ajc.com/gatech/content/sports/gatech/stories/2008/09/15/georgiatechacc_sec.html in an article by KEN SUGIURA.

So much for your pathetic trash talk, not complaining!!!!

UGA EXCUSES: (inorder of priority, with most often used).

1-We play in the SEC

2-you don’t play in the SEC

3-The ref are punishing us

4-The polls are biased

5-We have this killer SOS and you don’t (see or school is redhot, your school ain’t diddly squat)

6-Did we mention we play in the SEC, O we did

7-The ball is afraid of the SEC teams because we keep it so long

8-Our running back jumps players and nobody cares

9-The time ran out before we closed that 31-0 gap

10-Some a-hole put bleach in the laundry and the black uniforms faded

Ok Tony I will play along, I was also 8 out of 10 last week.

I agree, only GA can keep the the UGA-Vandy game close this weekend

Clemson has top 25 talent , they just havent showed it, they could do that with Bowden gone, but I think Tech will prevail.

Bama easy

Seems to be the trendy pick to take S Carolina over LSU, i just dont see it

I dont know and truly dont care about the next 2, but if MS state beats UT, Fulmer will be unemployeed before Christmas, I guess UT barely and I will give Tony a chance and take Arkansas over UK

Miami is due for a good game

Maryland , because they are at home

Tar Heels are pretty good

Texas, bet the house

LOL PSU, I’m betting you’re an Ohio State fan. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of Michigan tomorrow. Then we’ll let your jerseys dry from all the tears shed in a loss to Michigan State and embarass you on national television next week. Penn State will go undefeated….and Texas and Bama will be watching the NC game from home.

“This is what has be decreed, this is what shall come to pass”…definitely an Ohio education.

3 picks I disagree w/ Tony B on:

UVA beats UNC: Reasons are- at Virginia, Tate is out, and UVA is playing w/ high confidence.

Maryland Beats Wake: Reasons are- Maryland is not all that bad. They rarely lose two in a row and Wake will finally get exposed. And, its at Maryland

Miami beats Duke: Miami can roll up some points and while Duke has improved, talent will continue to the decisive factor at Duke until Cutliff gets higher caliber players on both sides of the ball.

PS: Gawga finally covers the spread and beats Vandy handily (at Gawga). They are back in the title hunt and will smell blood from here on out. Only UGA injuries and GT’s defense can stop this team from being there for a spot in the NC game in the end.

GO TECH!!!

At the end of the season we will see Ohio State and Florida play for the BCS championship. Guess who wins again?

GO VANDY! LMFAO! UGAly, your schedule is weak and your team is weak and you will beat lowly Vandy, which lost to MSU let me remind you! You all complain about how easy Techs schedule is, but look at your own: Ga. Southern = sux, Central Mich = sux, SC = sux, ASU = sux, TN = sux, BAMA = LOSS, Vandy = sux! LSU = LOSS, FL = LOSS, AUB = sux, GT = LOSS. So your overated redneck team will be 8-4 and be in the Independence or Peach Bowl. As for KNOWSHOW for Heisman. Keep dreamin! You all suck azz!

Yep, looks like the LSU’s defense and coaches did get exposed THIS WEEK — six sacks and a big win.

Love this week’s “Upset Special”.
