With another bonkers week of college football behind us, we’ve reached that point where nothing – for instance, the alleged uncovering of a giant pay-for-autograph ring that could knock out every Heisman contender until 2018 – is surprising.
Last week was rough for me in the picks. I had a 7-4 record, my worst in two years. My season total is now at 63-25. Here are the week eight picks.
Baylor 54, West Virginia 41 – Art Briles would look good in a coonskin cap on the sideline.
Oklahoma 27, Kansas State – Maybe if I didn’t know that Bill Snyder was at one point wearing old bowl game jackets… but now, I don’t think so. Boomer Sooner.
Alabama 41, Texas A&M 24 – It’s not the fact that he looks like a Just For Men hair commercial model thirty hard years later, or even that little hissy fit this week. It’s hiring Lane Kiffin that is clearly Nick Saban’s biggest failing this year.
Ohio State 42, Rutgers 27 – It’s hard to outduel the Supernova, but this JT Barrett kid has what it takes.
Arkansas 21, Georgia 20 – When the season started, I swear Bret Bielema’s headset was on his head. By the time they spring this upset, it’ll be around his throat.
TCU 45, Oklahoma State 31 – Possibly Gary Patterson wasn’t helping his team’s focus when he alleged after TCU’s gut-wrenching loss to Baylor that a Bears player “threatened” him on the field in Waco?
Ole Miss 41, Tennessee 14 – Are you ready!? Hell yeah! Damn right! Hotty Toddy Gosh A Mighty Who The Hell Knows How The Rest Of This Goes!
Florida 12, Missouri 7 – Missouri ran four plays in Georgia’s half last Saturday, and they turned the ball over on three of them. Florida, you’ve finally met your match.
LSU 34, Kentucky 27 – Mark Stoops is doing so well with the Wildcats football team, they might promote him to assistant basketball coach.
Nebraska 34, Northwestern 30 – It was a huge relief for Northwestern once they got out of their tough nonconference schedule and into the more forgiving B1G slate.
Florida State 45, Notre Dame 34 – They’re not going to get Jameis in time for this Saturday, so go FSU!
Stanford 23, Arizona State 17 – The Sun Devils might want to tell their starting quarterback not to rush back, to take his time, and to be very, very sure before coming back from injury and replacing Mike Bercovici.
