Piedmont Padre is excited for CFB 2018 noting his Gators are tied for 1st in the East as of August 31!
Wake Forest Demon Deacons 27 Tulane Green Wave 23
I am required to predict this game as my beautiful wife has decided to go back to school for a new degree and Wake is the place! Now, when I am watching REAL football, she’s going to want me to change the channel to “check the Wake score”
Washington Huskies 24 Auburn Tigers 23
A close game but I trust Peterson with a summer to prepare over Malzahn. Here’s a bet: Auburn fans have shirts that say ” We beat Bama and Georgia last year!” Seriously, how much does it now suck to be an Auburn fan? Even when you beat your 2 main rivals, you still lose! Dang, they should take a page from the Dye years or paying the refs like they did in 2006 when they “stole” the game from UF due to the refs………WAIT, Gators still won the National Title that season anyway! Man, it really does SUCK BAD to be an Auburn Fan.
West Virginia Mountaineers 48 Tennessee Vols 20
Tennessee fights hard for a while, but in late 3rd/early 4th the Mountaineers take over. Meanwhile, Will Grier begins with a bang and rockets to the TOP of the Heisman race. Back in Gainesville, the Gator Nation shrugs its shoulders because they have Felipe Franks!! So suck on that Grier…….Seriously, if Grier wins the Heisman, it will be the 2nd time a Florida QB left and won a Heisman somewhere else. Time for some communion wine!
Michigan Wolverines 23 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 17
Actually think Michigan will be good this season and next season will be contenders to win it all. Plus, Harbaugh likely to wear a shirt that says ” I may pick my nose and eat my boogers but I don’t fake heart attacks and read prepared statements because nothing I say ever makes sense so no way it can be prepared!”
Alabama Crimson Tide 41 Louisville Cardinals 13
Petrino said “Louisville will win!” Ha…Haha….Hahahahahahahaha. If you believe that, I have a motorcycle wreck story to tell you!!
UPSET SPECIAL — TROY Trojans 30 Boise State Broncos 27
THERE IS A NEW UNDERDOG IN TOWN!!
Mullen’s 1st Game
Florida Gators 34 Charleston Southern Buccaneers 13
F.R.A.N.K.S….. What’s that spell? FRANKS…..What do we want? FRANKS and BEANS, FRANKS and BEANS………
Miami Hurricanes 23 LSU Tigers 16
“Raw braw jraw froh craw traw crawfish etouffee seasoned with pepper goo gaw me maw…..Geaux Tigers” – best interpreter rendering of Coach O post game presser.
FSU Seminoles 30 Va. Tech Hokies 20
Willie Taggart pulls it out in his opening game! Home crowd means a lot, plus Jimbo left Taggart a loaded roster. Meanwhile, that horrible chop sound plays over and over and over in my house. Not because of the game, but because my 7-year old has discovered drumming and that beat is one of his favorite beats! I tried to explain to him that it makes GOD cry, but I don’t think he believes me.
ZIMMERN’S TWIN IS JACKED UP about start of CFB 2018! Noted his wife & daughter forced him to go see “Crazy Rich Asians” last Saturday Night ( which he fell asleep in the 1st hour and had to be awaken due to snoring ). ” I have watched Mountain West games at 1am and never even blinked while eating 3 day old Little Caesar’s Bestest Most Nastiest Pizza!” It’s just time for football!!!
Colorado State Rams 31 Colorado Buffaloes 28 – Minor Upset
Colorado State, fresh off a surprise loss to the Rainbows of Hawaii in Week O ( note to any decent team, NEVER PLAY IN WEEK O!!! Let Furman & The Citadel do that! ) will look to bounce back against in-state rival Colorado. Noting how much weed is now used in Colorado, does anyone really get mad there anymore? Maybe if the Pizza is late…. Anyway, Like Rams QB Samuels to light up the Rocky Mountain sky after he threw for over 500 yards in a gallant comeback effort last week. Buffaloes will have Va Tech RB transfer McMillan but don’t think it matters. Both Defenses are as weak as a Haitian Trade Embargo. In the end, Rams squeak out a close win.
California Golden Bears 34 North Carolina Tar Heels 24
UNC contingent ask for political asylum as soon as they land at OAK International Airport. After a quick call to Gov. Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown, they are denied access until they go back to North Carolina and protest against everyone who has ever smoked a Marlboro. Cal was 1 game shy of making it to a bowl game and are expected to have a nicely balanced offense. Tar Heels couldn’t stop the run with a 55 gallon drum of Kaopectate. Long trip back to Chapel Hill with only last 10 episodes of the Rachel Maddow show available on the return flight.
Bama 48 Louisville Cardinals 24
Petrino guaranteed a win, WR Dez Fitzpatrick ( the guy you likely see traveling out on the medical cart in the 3rd quarter ) stated “everyone of our receivers can beat any of their DB’s”. Almost as dumb as when your parents said ” Eat your food or I am sending it to a kid in Africa”. Biggest question, as noted above is who starts at QB. Don’t think it matters for the outcome of the game but likely see both Jalen and Tua play but will predict Jalen starts and the Cardinals get a HUGE dose of the Bama run game. Petrino and team will put up some yards and points on a young Bama D but in the end, Tide Rolls again.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish 24 Michigan Wolverines 23
Irish luck not on track yet as they lost a starting DB in practice this week. BUT, we know how lucky the Irish really are! HC Kelly with QB’s Wimbush & Book along with a defense that improved during the year. Harbaugh, fresh off some personal grooming and hygiene classes in the offseason, has a top defense that is ready to get that 5 loss 2017 season off its back. Score should be 14-10 but each defense will set up scores to elevate the point totals. Want to pick Michigan but keep remembering Touchdown Jesus will be watching over this one and saw a guy named Moses at the gas station so…..
LSU Tigers 27 Miami Hurricanes 17 Sunday Night
Hmmm…….Mark Richt and the Hurricanes go to Arlington on Sunday Night as favorites but noting we have basically had no storms in the Atlantic this season, I don’t see it! Big Ed Orgeron starts the season with a real QB in Ohio State Transfer Joe Burrow. LSU Defense will be a typical tough, hard-hitting group. Miami made great strides in 2017 but dropped to a tropical depression finishing with 3 losses. The biggest question for several days was would Burrow start over Myles as the Tigers QB. It wasn’t that we were waiting for Orgeron to announce his decision but it required a team of speech pathologists to reconstruct his press conference to confirm what he actually said.
Florida State Seminoles 28 Virginia Tech Hokies 21 Monday Night
The Willie Taggart era begins at FSU after the defection of Jimbo to Tex A & M for a pile of money. Seminoles are looking for a fresh start after they were literally beaten down by Bama in the 2017 opener and had to rally to beat La Monroe in December to be able to play Southern Miss in December to squeak out a 7-6 season. Va Tech HC Fuente and DC Foster have put together 2 good seasons in the “post Beamer” era but they lost too many on Defense and FSU typically has the athletes to rebound quickly. Rain is expected and we know Indians handle the rain better than a flock of gobblers ( hard to accept “Hokiebird” as the official mascot….kinda like saying Scooby Do is just a dog ). Taggart will go to Bullwinkle’s Saloon and sing with the band after this one.
