Plenty of intrigue this week, if not top-25 matchups... EXCEPT FOR THE IRISH. This is bounce-back week for ND, and "Avoid Upsets" week for just about everyone else.
SATURDAY, SEPT. 30 - WAKE UP, THERE'S FOOTBALL
- Pray for Colorado, who is missing two of their best players (Hunter, Shiloh Sanders) and has a third (Horn) that’s banged up but giving it a go.
- It feels like UK/UF is always weird and entertaining, and the Wildcats might be legit good with O’Leary improving every week.
- Dabo needs to halt the skid, but 4-0 Syracuse has a QB capable of causing the Tigers problems. Klubnik is playing better-ish. Could be a fun one.
- UPSET ALERT forecast is doubtful, but Ben Bryant did orchestrate a crazy comeback last week against PJ’s Boat Rowers. Stranger things have happened, especially when you’re not used to playing in a silent stadium!
SATURDAY, SEPT. 30 - AFTERNOON ALERT
- UPSET ALERT: Calling my shot, as the Dawgs have been sleepy and started slow a couple of times already. If Payton Thorne gets going early, Auburn could ride the emotional rollercoaster to an upset.
- UPSET ALERT: No validation, other than (1) Nebraska can make an ugly, close game, and (2) Fuck Michigan.
- UPSET ALERT: Texas is back? We’ll see how they handle a surprisingly decent Kansas squad with a really good (healthy) QB
SATURDAY, SEPT. 30 - PRIMETIME TESTS
- BK has to visit Ole Miss, and he has to deal with a Lane Kiffin that is pissed off and ready to open up his offense. Looking forward to seeing how LSU handles it.
- Scout Stanford as they get demolished by the Ducks… if you can find the PAC12 network lol
- GO IRISH. BEAT DUKE. Protect the ball, harass the QB, put the game away as soon as you have the opportunity. Don’t leave the door open!
- Joe Milton under fire. Throwing the ball 70 yards doesn’t help if you have no accuracy or command. Vols hanging in the top-25 though.
- SCHADENFREUDE UPDATE: Philly J. is banged up, and Nard-Dog had the perfect excuse to make a QB switch, but he’s instead sending our favorite guy back out there. We’ll see how it goes!
