Football..Yay! Week 2

Football season really kicks into full gear this season with a plethora (love that word) or myriad (like that one too) of excellent college football games. I have read no other predictions and actually had to check my trusty source, http://cfn.scout.com to see who was playing. Yikes! Without further adieu, here are my selections:

Notre Dame at Michigan-Ah...2 teams the prognosticators desperately want to be in the BCS each year. Notre Dame lost to South Florida during a game that lasted 3 days because of a lightening storm. Okay I embellished, it only lasted around 10 hours. And they still lost! What happened to the luck of the Irish? The Wolverines launched Rich Rod for the Hokey Pokey, aka Brady Hoke. I don't really care, but I will take Michigan. 28-24.

Mississippi State at Auburn-Auburn squeaked it out last week against Utah State. Dan Mullen has quietly put together the college football juggernaut in the state of Mississippi (unless Brett Favre has formed a retirement league in his backyard. Maybe Bus is the recruiter?) Mmmm. I love Bulldogs. They are just adorable so I like Mississippi State in an ugly game as they aren't known for their offense. MSU- 17 Auburn 12


Bama at Penn State-It's a battle of wits or maybe who still has their wits with Saban versus the legend, Joe Pa. Joe Pa will celebrate his 122nd birthday this year on the sidelines and allegedly doesn't have plans to step down until the apocalypse occurs. Bama  looked stellar in their game last week and Penn St plays in the Big 11. I think Bama's trip to Happy Valley will be quite happy. Bama-21 Penn State 14

Yes, I saved the best for last.  After UGA stunk it up big time at the Georgia Dome in those Power Rangers uniforms, they are greeted with a visit from Darth Visor. The only thing positive about the way UGA played last week was that  thankfully, there was no lightening delay. Actually, the only  lightening  we saw was Boise State blowing past UGA, offensively and defensively.  CMR looks deflated and this week won't turn that frown upside down. My suggestions to Bobo and Richt would be to devise plays that would  drive the ball down the field, attempt to score touchdowns, and get the ball to Branden Boykin. Yeah, after he scored last week they decided he shouldn't get the ball anymore. We all know how that worked out! South Carolina is led by Stephen Garcia and Marcus Lattimore. I believe honesty is the best policy and the Dawgs will lose. I wish they wouldn't but they will.  The other USC 28- UGA 20

Up next? Pro football talk....
