This Week's Picks Week 4

 

 

This week, both Georgia and Kennesaw State are off, so we have a shorter-than-usual This Week's Picks.  For this, we give praise.

For what it is worth, Georgia barely got out of Kentucky alive.  Texas destroyed the University of Texas At San Antonio with the help of Arch Manning, grandson of Archie and nephew of Peyton and Eli.  Texas has hopped over Georgia for the number one spot. It is a long season, but Texas really looks good. 

This week's picks!

Ramblins vs. Lousyville. This week, the Battling Bees go to Louisville. (Question: Is the capitol of Kentucky pronounced "Louie-ville" or "Louis-ville"? Neither is it pronounced "Frankfort".) As you know, I jumped on the B-Train when they beat Florida State. This should be a good test to see if Georgia Tech is the real deal or not. I'll go with not. Louisville wins. 

Utes of America vs. Oklahoma State. Utah is one of those teams you hear a lot about but never see play. Oklahoma State is still being coached by a guy with a mullet. I think Utah ought to win because I think of Joe Pesci and his line from "My Cousin Vinny" about "two utes." Utah wins. 

Tennaysay vs. Okie: The big SEC game is Tennessee vs. Oklahoma. Tennessee may make the twelve-team playoff, but Oklahoma won't. They won't know what to do with Tennessee's fast offense. Welcome to the SEC, boys.  Tennessee wins. 

Jawja Southurn vs Ole Mess:  Georgia Southern (Lyrics from their school song: "I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow") goes to Oxford to play Ole Miss. Ole Miss is number 5 in the rankings, which makes it the first Top Ten team Georgia Southern has played.  It would be a blankety-blank big deal if Georgia Southern won. They won't. Ole Miss wins. 

Floreeduh vs Upright Walking On Two Legs Bulldogs.  Talk about a stinky game. Flordia is looking horrible now, while Mississippi State is losing to Toledo (or "Twoledo" as Paul Finebaum pronounced it) at home, with innocent cowbells present.  Supposedly, Florida has a bunch of commitments from its boosters to buy out Billy Napier's contract.  The amount of scratch they need to come up with is only (checks notes) $26 million dollars.  As Steve Miller would say to Napier, go on, take the money and run. I tend to think Florida is better than Mississippi State.  Call me crazy, but Mississippi State wins.
