College Football Preview

Hey Gents,


Another season and again we go through the picks.  The Chalk, The Ballsy, and The Stupid as Fuck.


Final Four.  More like Final Bore

Could we, as a group, be bigger chalk guessing pussies if we tried?  I know we all have flashbacks of the predictions destroying our point totals.  But things are different this year.  The predictions are only 1/9th of the points for college and 1/9th of the points for pros..  Just as valuable as any other category. 

Let's remember this next year. Or for our pro picks. 

Obviously Alabama & Clemson go without saying.  You'd be stupid not to pick them. Let's go through the list.

First ballsy pick of the year.  John is the only person not to put Alabama in the final four.  There's some balls for you.  2nd Ballsy pick of the year, Eplin didn't put Clemson in the final four. 

Alabama 11 people have. 
Clemson 11 of us have. 
Washington 6 of us have.
Wisconsin 7 of us have.
Georgia 7 of us have.

Those 5 teams take up 42 out of 48 potential final four picks.  Let's see where the other 6 are.

Jim & Folden both took Stanford. 
Folden also took Michigan St. 
Munez took Ohio St.
I took Michigan.
Eplin took Miami.

So a total of 10 teams can effect the national championship and final four.  Well done by the few that took a shot on a team that literally isn't written down 1,2,3,4 in the standings.

Conference Champions


Everyone but Eplin took Clemson.  He took Miami.

We had four people take Alabama, which is very rare.  Usually Bama is a whitewash.  Shawn, Rob, Kemp and John were the four who took the risk.

9 people took Washington, with Jim & Folden taking Stanford & Kemp taking USC.

Several differences in the Big 10. 
7 people taking Wisconsin
2 for Ohio State
2 for Michigan St
1 for Penn State

Lots of WVU.  wishful thinking from the fans maybe.  Rob took TCU, Munez, Hale, and Kemp with Oklahoma,

Central Florida getting all the love they can muster, with 9 people taking them.  Me, Folden, and Shawn the outliers taking Memphis.

Apparently, we're all 100% on the Lane Kiffin FAU hype train.  12 for 12.  our first sweep. 


The Mac is where we finally have some big differences.  The breakdown is as follows:

6 people for Ohio
2 for Toledo
2 for Northern Illionois
1 for Western Michigan
1 for Buffalo

Boy, that's fun. 

Clean sweep for Boise St

Big differences in the Sunbelt as well. 
5 for Arkansas St
3 for Troy
3 for Appalachian St
1 for Georgia St

Looking through the losers of the Conference Championships. 

Kemp took Florida State to lose the ACC championship with Clemson winning it.  And, since they play on the same side of the conference, this is an actual impossibility.  So, good job there, Kemp.

That's the only note. 


National Championship Predictions

Three teams dominated our decisions.

Alabama, Clemson, and Georgia.

Eplin took Wisconsin to lose the National Championship, which was the only prediction to not have one of those three teams in it. 


That's allf or now.  Not going through the individual awards, because I don't know who the hell most of those people are. 

Don't forget to do your college pick'em for week 1.
