Game Previews
It's Friday and conference championship week. So take a break and read our previews they won't disappoint.
#3 Clemson vs. #23 Virginia Tech: Clemson has looked pretty good the last couple of weeks. Handling a decent Wake team and then completely obliterating their in state rival. This is a good Hokie* team though led by one of the best young coaches in the game. Matchup to watch for is Clemson linebackers having to cover VT tight end Bucky Hodges. Hodges is a great player and we all know about our blown coverages against tight ends.
Writer's picks: Unanimous Clemson
#1 Alabama vs. #15 Florida: HAHAHAHAHA. What even is the point of this. I just hope whatever flight the Crimson Tide takes to Atlanta loses Nick Saban's bags. That's the only victory to be won in this game.
Writer's picks: Unanimous Bama
#10 Oklahoma State vs. #9 Oklahoma: The Mullet vs. Big Game Bob who seems to lose every big game he's in. Oklahoma State is hot lately, but so is Oklahoma. This one should be exciting, and have plenty of points.
Writer's picks
James: Mullet
Palmer: OU
Cole: OU
Jake: OU
#6 Wisconsin vs. #7 Penn State: I still don't know what a Nittany lion is or why Wisconsin is the badgers. Unless Nittany Lion is a trick name like the red panda (which is not the size of a real panda) they cn probably handle a badger.
Writer's picks
James: PSU
Palmer: PSU
Cole: dumb badger
Jake: dumb badger as well
#8 Colorado vs. #4 Washington: Buffs by 50. No I have zero stats or fresh information to back it up. The Buffaloes have my heart though and that's all that matters.
Writer's picks
James: BUFFS
Palmer: BUFFS
Cole: UW (boooo)
Jake: BUFFS
*Side Note: Virginia Tech is our "why the heck did they pick that mascot" team of the week. I mean of all the animals you pick a castrated turkey. I just don't understand. Also if you've ever been to Blacksburg you know it's a great environment until they start playing that stupid gobble track over the PA system. Nothing intimidates more than a turkey gobble I guess.
Upset of the Week: Wyoming is a 6.5 point underdog to San Diego State. SDSU is a good team but the Cowboys have shown they can win in the big games this year.
