Welcome, football
Well, before I start, in honor of Storo, I just want to say that I have no formal training in making predictions, anything that happens to be correct is pure talent.
First off, I assume everyone caught some of the 25-hours of college football starting last night, props to Rece Davis. Loved the idea. Anyway, here are a few highlights from the little bit of the show that I saw, in no particular order.
1. Larry Coker officially announced as part of the ESPN college football team. This guy looked like a corpse and spoke for literally 15 seconds.
2. Kirk Herbstreit picks Penn State as the favorite in the Big Ten...and it is generally ignored by every other person on the show. As if it were never said.
3. Mark Mangino, I believe the first BigXII coach to be featured on the program joined via telephone, which meant they had a still shot of him on the screen for five solid minutes with his jowels spilling over his collar.
4. Mangino's interview followed by BigXII North bashing from all sides, including Kirk declaring that there are five teams in the South that could come to the North and likely win it. He could have saved time by saying "everyone but Baylor."
5. Steve Spurrier makes an appearance on an UnderArmor commercial with one of his two lines being him answering his cell, "Head ball coach," I'm disappointed we didn't even get a "Click-Clack" out of him.
6. Mark May (and practically everyone else for that matter) picks Missouri to win the North, but is only able to mention Chase Daniels and their "stable" of tight ends. Sounds like last year. Apparently, if you have more than one talented tight end, you are immediately the favorite in your conference.
So, for predictions....
ACC - FSU
Big East - WVU
SEC - Florida
Big XII - Texas
Pac10 - USC
Big XI - Michigan
Bust Team : OU
Suprise Team: Notre Lame (5-6)
Huskers: 9-3 Wake, USC, Texas
National Championship: Texas over WVU
Coach fired due to another bad season: Gary Pinkel.
