After careful consideration, to avoid the "everyone picks the same team" bug that sometimes happens in the NFL when there really just aren't that many good games, we're going six college and two NFL this week.
College Games
Wake Forest Demon Deacons (6-3) at #21 Clemson Tigers (7-2), 11am, ESPN2
I'm paraphrasing what Kirk Herbstreit said about Clemson a few weeks ago... "I want to pick Clemson. I really do... but I can't trust 'em. They lose games they are supposed to roll in, they win games they shouldn't, I don't even know what to do about this team!"
#22 Alabama Crimson Tide (6-3) at Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-4), 1134am
I see a line forming. One side, there stand the Lattas, one of the Osbornes, Tyler Campbell and Ryan Sherman. On the other side, there stands Tim Wasyluka and the other Osborne. Tad Roose, Trey Cartledge and a few others stand, confused, deciding whether to take a chance and perhaps gain a game... and Garrett's in the back, throwing up at both of them. And the rest of us, stand on the line, trying to decide who we dislike more.
#13 UConn Huskies (8-1) at Cincinnati Bearcats (7-2), 230pm, ESPNU
No, we've not started the Deuce Basketball Championships... this should be a really good game. While Cincinnati knocked out South Florida, UConn thumped Rutgers real good like, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one that thinks last year's Rutger's team was an oddity, rather than a premonition of how good they will be for years and years.
#18 Auburn Tigers (7-3) at #10 Georgia Bulldogs (7-2), 230pm, CBS
Sigh. Root for Auburn, Georgia loses... and Tennessee would probably go on to win the East in the SEC. Root for Georgia, Auburn loses, and LSU or Alabama represent the West in the SEC in the title game. This is a no win, for anyone.
#17 USC Trojans (7-2) at California Bears (6-3), 7pm
So, what happened to Cal? Whatever, they should get trounced by the mighty Trojans, right? I mean, its not like USC lost to Stanford... wait...
Fresno State Bulldogs (6-3) at #16 Hawaii Warriors (8-0), 10pm
Boy, this should be no contest. After Hawaii barely got behind the 477th best team in the country, La Tech, they cruised past college juggernauts like Charleston Southern, Idaho (go Vandals!), and New Mexico State. I jest, but seriously, this would be Hawaii's first real test, considering their schedule is actually weaker than several Div I-AA schools (not joking). And Fresno State is no Northern Colorado. Though, Colt Brennen may actually pass for 322 yards by half.... of the 1st quarter.
NFL Games
Jacksonville Jaguars (5-3) at Tennessee Titans (6-2), 12pm, CBS
Go Jags! Go Titans! I have no idea!!
Dallas Cowboys (7-1) at NYGiants (6-2), 315pm, Fox
A big battle for supremacy of the NFC East! Winner takes the lead with the Packers as the team to beat in the NFC, and the team that gets trounced in the Super Bowl by the Patriots or the Colts!
TieBreak Game
Lets go points. Fresno State at Hawaii, total points scored. And no, no one has ever picked over 100 in a DFC week.
