This Week's Picks 13

 

 Can you believe it is the end of the regular season for College Football?   

It has been a wild season. For example, two very successful head coaches, Ed Orgeron and Dan Mullen, were fired.   Mullen just led Florida to the SEC East Championship last year.  Orgeron just led LSU to a national title the year before that.

Many reasons were given, but it only boils down to one: LSU and Florida were not winning.  It is as simple as that.

Florida is not supposed to lose to South Carolina. Florida is not supposed to lose to Missouri.   They are supposed to be in contention for the SEC East and the FBS Championship.

Everybody in Baton Rouge loved Coach O.  He looked and spoke like they did.   But when you lose, it doesn't matter what you look like or what you sound like.

It didn't matter when Florida was winning that Dan Mullen was snarky.  Drop games to South Carolina and Missouri and suddenly it matters.

However, Argentina will cry for Coach O or Mullen.  Orgeron's buyout package is $16.8 million.   Mullen just has a $12 million buyout. He will receive $6 million within 30 days of his firing (that takes the sting out of the firing). The rest of the money will be paid every July 15 through 2027.

Not a bad deal if you ask me. 

 

 

This Week's Picks!

 

Jawja vs Bumble   Talk about two teams going in opposite directions.Georgia is ready to play for the National Championship while Tech is trying to break the Four Win Threshold.   I'm not sure what the answer is, but it doesn't look like it is Coach Jeff. Geogg The question isn't, "Will Georgia win?" The question is, "How Much?"  Answer:  A lot.  Georgia wins.

 

 

Ahia State vs Meechigan   Did you see what Ohio State did to Michigan State last week?  Didn't Michigan State beat Michigan this year?  Michigan could beat Ohio State, if, let's say, the whole Ohio State team comes down with a Covid-Ebola variant and has to forfeit.   Ohio State wins.

 

 

 

Flo vs Flo State    Poor State of Florida.  All of their teams stink this year. Oh well. Florida almost beat Alabama and then almost got beat by Samford.  I'm split on this one. I think Florida may try to win one for the interim coach. I don't know. Flip a coin . Florida, I guess, wins

 

Bamy vs War Tigers  The yearly "Iron Bowl" (or as they say in Alabama, the "Ern Bull").  It would be sorta cool if Auburn found a way to win.  The non-Auburn people in Alabama would blow a gasket.  While Alabama isn't the total power it has been in the recent past, they are way better than Auburn. Bama wins.

 

My Beloved Owls vs Davidson:  Kennesaw State won their final Big South Conference last week. They will play the mighty Wildcats of  Davidson College. "The primary purpose of Davidson College is to assist students in developing humane instincts and disciplined and creative minds for lives of leadership and service", Davidson says about itself on its website.  "The secondary purpose is to charge tuition to develop human instincts. Davidson dedicates itself to the quest for truth and encourages teachers and students to explore all sorts of nutty thoughts so they can make the holiday miserable for others who might have voted for Donald Trump."  Kennesaw State wins.
