I like you but you did steal my thunder 😂 But I understand why were starting early there's a boat load of good games this week. Some predictions of your games that interest me.

OK/Cincy OK has one of the weakest schedules in the country and their defense has a lot to prove. Cincy
Auburn/aggies I'm picking the cow college.
SMU/TCU how good is either team
Arkansas/ LSU hogs
Oregon State/Washington State I really like the beavers this year they're a team to watch
UCLA/Utah going with the Utes
Wyoming and Rice are contenders for the at large team.
BYU/Kansas best Big XII matchup this week I say BYU.
North Carolina/Pitt our old friend Mack has something special and they'll roll this week.

To 3 games
FSU/Clemson the noles are special this year and they will dominate.
Colorado/Oregon I'm not sold yet on prime and if Travis Hunter is out the ducks will roll.
tOSU/ND biggest game of the week by far. I picked the golden domers to not just make the playoffs but a birth in the title game. Marcus Freeman will do what no ND coach has done since Lou Holtz retired and win a NC. Has anyone else besides me noticed that tOSU's defense has just flat out sucked the last 2 years? Against teams with a real offense? I think ND wins by double digits.

Like you I'm looking forward to new Big XII teams play their first game. One of them has got to be good enough to say least gets to a bowl game. The best matchups involve the Pac XII and the Big XII.

 

[Okie70]

Good post. Thought OU was going to skate this year re: big 12 except for the Horns since no Kstate, Baylor or Tech. Now see the top Big 12 rated teams after OU and Texas are BYU, Kansas and UCF. OU plays all 3. Only UCF in Norman. Interesting season.

ND for the national title? ill take that bet sir.

 

[outhereincali]

I said the title game I didn't say the national title. And I stand on my opinion that ND will trounce tOSU.

yes ok let me change the bet..i bet you ND will not make the playoffs

 

[outhereincali]

yes ok let me change the bet..i bet you ND will not make the playoffs

What you got for me?

 

[clob94]

Can I jump in here--?

I'm thinking --- a really nice single malt scottish whiskey or maybe a rare-ish kentucky bourbon would sweeten this gentleman's wager-- as this is betwixt two gentlemen.

But yes-- please continue.

 

[hookem777]

What you got for me?

i like Clobbs idea...as I am from Scottish heritage...a bottle of Whiskey. Scottish if i win. Name a Brand you'd like?

btw mother fker you looooove to instigate/ up an anti lmao. Id love to buy you a beer some time if you were ever in Ft Worth or Austin when i go to a game. Do you ever go to games anymore?

you seem to love War shit so i can tell you all about Lockheed Martin and some shit since i work there with pretty decent level clearance.

 

[outhereincali]

Well I don't drink how about Coke zero?

I'll tell you what there are 5 games that we disagree on. Let's see who does better and let's do it for a whole season?

You good with that?

 

[clob94]

I toured skunkworks in FW the weekend after the JSF (F35) was revealed. Literally the next day. There were some BEAUTIFUL F16s on the line that day that had the little (hump back) addition to them. They'd placed ropes up around the production lines (because of the press coming to see the JSF) that prevented civilians from walking down the assembly lines. This was the first time I ever saw a computer monitor that had Windows MIL on it. I was being toured by a LtC that was a Hornet driver that actually wrote the survival book for pilots downed in Serbia/Bosnia.
Great guy. He helped to design the cockpit. The HUD was super cool... so was the helmet.
But yes-- the next time I am in DFW (which should be soon) I will let you know.

Texas brisket. There's a Cooper's BBQ in FW that can ship you a brisket. You haven't turned vegan yet have you Cali?

Brisket vs Scottish whiskey.

 

[clob94]

I don't instigate. I create opportunities. At the end of the day, if I can enable two people that may never actually get together-- to somehow get together-- this creates a possibility.
And there's no way to predict the potential of possibilities.
It could change the world. And I won't apologize for that.

I don't feel as good about that lol. We're talking ND sir. I definitely feel good about them not making the playoffs

 

[outhereincali]

I'm not sold on Washington yet. Come back to me on October 14 when they play Oregon. Can you believe the Pac XII has 8 ranked teams?

I'm picking BYU but if Kansas wins they'll bring in an undefeated team to memorial stadium. Who would have ever thought that.

No Travis Hunter no Colorado win.

At the risk of ridicule from everyone on here I really thought Utah would be in the playoffs this year. But I do think they'll beat UCLA.

How good is SC I'm going to wait until October when they play ND and Utah back to back.

I'll bet you anything that Cincinnati was looking ahead to Oklahoma when they lost last week. Their offense is just as productive as Oklahoma and I thought I read they lead he Big XII in sacks. It's their first Big XII game they're at home and it's Oklahoma. I could go on but I have this as my upset.

Cincinnati 38
Oklahoma 35

 

[outhereincali]

Also I think the aggies are better than we think. I don't know about Auburn's new coach how good is he?. The aggies are at home.

It's not too early to say the SEC won't win it this year. I think Alabama will lose 3 games this year but not tomorrow.
C'mon Lane Kiffin vs Nick Saban? If they can avoid penalties I think Arkansas will beat LSU.

Just for fun
Utah 28
UCLA 21

BYU 24
Kansas 20

I think Oregon State will win but I'm not sure about the final score. Same with Mack Brown. I think TCU will beat SMU.

Finally since I said it
FSU 35
Clemson 17

Notre Dame 42
Ohio State 24

I'll tell you what 777. If I'm right you have to say I love really thin pancakes. And remember what happened to Ricky Bobby when he wouldn't do it. That is all

Trust me if anyone is Jean Girard in this scenario it's you bub.

But nah boring bet.


ND won't make the playoffs

Jean Girard kicked Ricky Bobby's ass.
Ok now you tell me why you think Ohio State is so much better. Is it their defense? their qb? Anyone can talk trash.

Coach/Staff - tOSU
QB - ND
RB - tOSU
WR - tOSU
OL - tOSU
DL - tOSU
LB - push
DB - push
ST - ND
Home - ND

I think this is a single score game and tOSU pulls it out

27-22 tOSU

I never talked trash actually. Just said ND isnt going to the playoffs. If ND can beat OsU then maybe ill rethink my opinion. As of now? I think OsU WR's will have a breakout game and go off on the leprechauns

I dont think ND's QB has been really tested yet this year.

 

[GuaranteedFresh!]

I dont think ND's QB has been really tested yet this year.

A lot of teams haven't been tested yet. I still don't think Colorado is a very good team. I think they do have a couple of outstanding players that carried them against bad competition. Because Hunter is injured they have lost the best guy on defense and their best on offense other than QB. Ouch.

The jury is still out on tosu, Michigan, Georgia, Ou and in a strange way Bama & TX. If Alabama turns out to be trash this year, our big win was hugely overhyped.

Tons yet to learn this year. I wouldn't feel safe betting big on anybody just yet.

I agree with you for the most part. I think Bama will still win 9 games. Milrow was supposedly benched last week for talking back/attitutde during practice. Hes a athletic kid and has potential to be great.

and I just dont think ND is THAT good, out of all those teams you named ND doesnt belong.

Oh I agree. ND a pretty good team but I doubt a playoff contender. Milrow needs to be used just like VY was for us. Simple zone reads and designed qb keeps to get him outside. He would flourish.

 

[outhereincali]

I dont think ND's QB has been really tested yet this year.

True that but neither has Ohio States qb.

 

[hookem777]

True that but neither has Ohio States qb.

but Ohio St has a coaching staff that has coached in these types of big games. I think thats a huge deal here. ND will get out coached, and OsU wr's will go off

 

[outhereincali]

Coach/Staff - tOSU
QB - ND
RB - tOSU
WR - tOSU
OL - tOSU
DL - tOSU
LB - push

ST - ND
Home - ND

27-22 tOSU

This is what I'm thinking @weevilcatch it's about Ohio States defense over the last 2 years against a good offense

2021 Oregon
35 points 505 yards 269 rushing yards 7.1 ypc they lost
2021 Michigan
42 487 297 7.1 ypc they lost
Rose Bowl Utah
45 463 226 5.1 ypc
2022 Michigan
45 530 252 7.2 ypc they not only lost but they gave up
Peach Bowl Georgia
42 533 5.2 ypc 17.3 ypr they lost

Right now ND is averaging over 200 yards and 6 ypc running the fb. We both agree that ND has the better qb. That's why I see a Notre Dame victory.

who has ND played that compares to the teams you just mentioned?

 

[outhereincali]

who has ND played that compares to the teams you just mentioned?

Well who has Ohio State played so far?

 

[hookem777]

Well who has Ohio State played so far?

everyone you just listed dude... Again i said it was a coaching advantage and i dont believe ND qb is as good as advertised and i think OsU WRs are superior

 

[hookem777]

you gave me stats against a good as always Orgeon offense and 2 playoff teams. Who has ND played that compares to those teams in the past years?
