This season is more topsey-turvey than folks at a family gatherin lookin for dates. Kentucky joined the list of Goliath killers last week, knockin off that musty bunch from Cajun Country. For the second week in a row, I couldn't pick my own nose, goin 7-5. Not good. Not good at all. The yearly totals are 68-27-1. For our friends in Clinton, South Carolina, don't forget to catch us on Sportsradio 1410 on Thursday morning in the "Doghouse" at 7:30 am. On to this week's most fearless prognostications, makin the debut in radio with style points....
Central Michigan at Clemson: The Chippawahatevers invade Death Valley for some fun on Saturday afternoon. If you call getting your head handed to you on a platter as fun. Bowden's Boys are on their annual October run to save his job. After getting blasted by the Goblers a couple of weeks ago, he may need all the help he can get. Could be worse, he could be Callahan or Francione. Tigers 98 Chipanddales 0
South Florida at Rutgers: I want to make fun of the Bulls so much it hurts. Their uniforms are ugly. There, I said it. But there's no history here. No cheating to make fun of (yet). No bourbon stills. Nothing. And yet, they could play for the title. The Knight dude's can't believe this isn't their story. Somebody find the slipper, cause the clock will strike midnight for the Bulls in Jersey this weekend. Scarlet Rs 27 Bullsheisters 21
N.C. State at East Carolina: The Wolf Pack and Pirates get together for a little trip out to sea this weekend. Seriously, that's where they should play this game. Neither team seems to have the ability to score. Or play defense. Those Wolfpackers should sure miss the Red Shoes of Amato now. Pirates, in a close one. East Carolina 3 Packers 2
Army at Georgia Tech: It's homecoming in Atlanta, where the Military invades Beeville in hopes of a victory. The Bees have finally made the right choice at running back, and their season took a nice upward spike in a win last week at Miami. The Donkies from the northeast aren't very good, and the Wreck are beginning to come around. Take Tech, and where one of those little ties for homecoming. Bees 52 Army 3
Tennessee at Alabama: The Davy Crockets invade Crimson Country on a bit of a roll, having blistered Bulldogs two weeks in a row. Maybe just enough to save the Great Pumpkin's job. The Pachyderms got some help from instant replay last week to hold on against the rebels. Somebody should get instant replay on that defense, cause it ain't good. In fact, neither defense is very good. So eat some breakfast for this morning kickoff, and don't forget the good stuff - cause the 100,000 red necks from two states sure won't. Elephants 35 Crockets 31
Auburn at LSU: When these two got together in '87, it caused such a rumble at Tiger Stadium that the Richter scale measured a quake. The Gambler's Boys saved themselves with some late heroics last week in Arkansas, while the Cajuns let one sip away. Yeah, I said sip. The Head Cajun ran out of luck, and suddenly winning the SEC West is in doubt. There are definitely too many Tigers here, but take the one's dressed for Mardi Gras. And Enjoy the party before, during, and after the game. Cajuns 13 Tubbies 12
Florida at Kentucky: These aren't your daddie's Wildcats. Hell, they ain't even your grand daddies. Not since the Bear roamed the sideline have the stakes been so high in Lexington. They pulled out all the stops last week - so much so half the campus was arrested after the game for disorderly conduct. The Crocs are slowly easing their way back into a major bowl birth, but this may put a stop to that. The Bourbon will be flowin, as will the folks in blue. Cats 24 Crocs 14
Vanderbilt at South Carolina: The Smart dudes invade Chicken country for a little bar-b-q this weekend. Onnly they should take a quick look about themselves, cause their own behinds will be what's in the smoker. The Evil Genius has the War Chickens in the thick of the national title picture with a rookie QB from Tuscaloosa. No way Vanderbilt wins this, unless a game of chess breaks out in Columbia. War Chickens 42 Doormats 14
Arkansas at Ole Miss: The game could literally decide who finishes last in the SEC West. The Nuttmeister is in serious trouble. How do I know? I got a text message that said, "Prognosticator, I'm in deep do-do." Yeah, well, no crap. The Rebs are still sulking about their loss last week to the Pachyderms, actually lodging complaints about what Saban said in his press conference about unreuly fan behavior. Sticks and Stones. Sticks and Stones. And the Rebs have no defense. Piggies 30 Rebs 10
Mississippi State at West Virginia: Somehow, the dawgs managed to beat the Fightin Tubervilles. Unfortunately, they are making a little weekend getaway to West Virginia. Let's see, Mississippi people mingle with West Virginia people. Let's hope nobody marries. Rodriquez and his boys are the better team, and they will take it out on an SEC opponent this weekend. And when I say "it," I mean the good stuff. Smells like fuel. Mountain Men 45 Slys 10
USC at Notre Dame: The Trojans can't decide who to play at QB. Guess what, with that offensive line- coupled with that horrid Irish defense - your mother could start this weekend for USC and it not really matter. Much. We'd all like to relive that classic from two years ago, but don't expect it. Trojan Mans 35 Irish Dudes 9
Michigan State at Ohio State: The Spartinis and Nuts are having a little party on Saturday. The theme is "which week will the Buckets blow it?" Every time a team ascends, they take a fall. The Nuts are truly set-up, with an above average Green bunch invating Columbus. Let's take a Spartini - shaken, not stirred. Sparticus 19 Buckets 18
