Season Preview

The College Football Season starts this week and we are about to go through the ringer of predictions and bank account inflation! This could be the year we retire on my gambling profits and Bleu and I will be documenting our journey to the peak of the football gambling world.
First of all we will tackle some simple pre-season predictions.

Easy Ones:

Pac Ten – USC (I mean really? Who else)

Big East – West Virginia (Seem to be the best team top to bottom)

Big Ten – Ohio State (I mean really? Who else)

Big XII:
North – Missouri
South – Oklahoma ( TTech is good but wont beat the Sooners this year)

Not so easy ones:

ACC

Coastal- North Carolina (Little bit of a surprise)
Look at the schedule and you’ll find that if Butch Davis can get his kids paying hard they will be able to walk through the end of the season. They go to Rutgers on 9/13 and if they lose that it doesn’t matter in the conference and may wake them up. After that, Va Tech comes in and that should be a test but I think they can surprise a team that still isn’t sure about their QB at that point. If they win that they will have confidence going into a game at the U (Miami if you have no idea what we are talking about). That is the BIG game as far as I’m concerned. If they get by that, UCONN at home and on the road to UVA. Then the national attention will turn to them when they get Notre Dame at home and should be able to win. Then its up to them keeping it up after getting interviewed by Rece Davis and the get a home game against a Matt Ryan-less BC and then end the season with G Tech, Maryland, North Carolina State and Duke.

Atlantic – Clemson

I really like Wake Forest this year, but Clemson seems to be better. I hate the little Bowden and Jim Grobe is the much better coach, but talent should be the determining factor here. Miami is still shaky and Randy has another season to go before they get back to true form.

ACC Championship – Give me North Carolina in a “Bowden Choke Job.”

SEC:

East – Georgia

They have a brutal schedule and have lost some key pieces, but I think Matt Stafford is the real deal and can lead them to the BIG W against Florida. They lose at LSU and win the rest. I’m getting a little crazy here but: I think Tennessee beats Florida, loses to Kentucky (ending an almost 3 decade winning streak, fluke but lets say it happens), Florida loses to Tennessee, UGA and a late season upset loss to FSU ( For no real reason).

West – Auburn

Their schedule is very nice for them this year. Their only loss will be to UGA at home late in the year and will kill their momentum, but they should beat everyone else. I now their QB situation is questionable, but that OL is the best IMO in the conference and will make up for any troubles they may have early.

SEC Championship – UGA

BIG PICK:

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP

USC vs Oklahoma

They both go undefeated and end up beating out the SEC champ because of that, but they might be the best 2 TEAMS there are. I don’t expect a score like the last championship they played against each other, but I do expect USC to win. Give me USC 38 – Oklahoma 24.

So USC get the Championship!

But GO HOGS!
