This Week's Picks 10

 

 Forgive me if I was a little distracted this week

 
You know, The World Series and all.

It isn't easy to focus on College Football when you wonder how an Atlanta team is going to Atlanta-it-up and blow The World Series.

You have to remember The Braves were in The World Series five times in the '90s with three Hall of Fame pitchers in the starting rotation and still only won one World Series and became the Buffalo Bills of baseball.

But thankfully, the Braves won The World Series, overcoming "The Manis Jinx".

It wasn't easy.

 This Week's Picks

Jawja vs Misery  I'm not being all rah-rah Georgia, but I have never seen a Georgia team play the way this Georgia team is playing.   Missouri is the same old  Missouri they are every year. Which means they lose this game.  Georgia wins. 

 

 

Bumbles vs The U  Oh well, another Saturday, another game Tech possibly, could, maybe win. But they probably won't. Miami wins.

 

 

Forest Of Wake vs Heels Of Tar   Every ten or so years, Wake Forest fields a competitive team in the ACC. They are 8-0 this season which is a "season to remember" for the Back Slidden Deacons. UNC should be better than their record. The problem is they are not better than their record.  Wake Forest wins.

 

 

Bamy vs Ellesyou   I'm not quite sure who Nick Saban has pictures of, but Alabama was put in as the second seed in the first College Football Playoff ranking despite the fact Cincinnati hasn't lost a game. Neither has Wake Forest come to think about it. The problem is those schools aren't named Alabama.  LSU is having a downer year.  Coach Ed Orgeron is a lame duck because he was bringing sexy back to Baton Rouge.   Best of luck to Coach O.  I'm going to miss his "Go tigas" at the end of every interview.  

 

 

 

Wartigers vs Ags This is my problem, every time I pick either one of these schools to win, they lose.  However, IF Auburn wins and they continue to win out, it means the annual Iron Bowl becomes a huge game.  If Auburn wins that game, they would win the SEC West and go and face Georgia in  The SEC Championship Game.  That would kick Alabama out of the playoffs. Maybe.  Auburn wins.

 

 

My Beloved Owls vs  Robert Morris  I like to spotlight the smaller, less famous schools that Kennesaw State plays. Here's what I learned about Robert Morris University "Located near Pittsburgh and spread across 230 scenic acres, Robert Morris University combines the best of a big research university and a small college. Ranked among the top universities in the country by U.S. News & World Report, RMU provides the education and experience that has helped strivers, drivers, and doers launch great careers and great lives for nearly a century. If you're as serious about your success as we are, connect with RMU today."  They have many notable alumni including Charlie Batch, a former quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the only notable alumni I've heard of.   Kennesaw State wins.
