🏈 Week 8 predictions/game thread

[PhillyGirl]

Thoughts, predictions, etc?


- Central Florida @ #7 Lousiville .. This game is important because this is the toughest team UL faces all season. I think Louisville barely wins. And shows why they would be undeserving of a shot at the Natty even if they go undefeated.

- #22 Florida @ #14 Mizzou .. Can the Tigers defeat the Gators without Franklin? Can the Gators beat the Tigers without .. most of their team? Tigers win.

- #9 UCLA @ #14 Stanford .. Big Pac 12 matchup. UCLA will come out on top, as Stanford continues to fall through the rankings. But dang is the Pac 12 stacked this year.

- Iowa @ #4 Ohio State .. trap game for the Buckeyes at home? Probably not, but worth tracking.

- #15 UGA @ Vandy .. Close game, but Bulldogs win.

- #11 South Carolina @ Tennessee .. Upset alert. Vols top Cocks.

- #24 Barn @ #7 TAMU. Auburn's running game is no joke, and with that sorry ass TAMU rush D, they will put up big points. Calling for an upset again, as well as a high scoring game.

- #6 LSU @ Ole Miss .. on the surface not the most exciting game but the potential for an upset. I think LSU comes out on top, but barely.

- #5 FSU @ #3 Clemson .. The big kahuna of the week. I really like Jameis Winston, and this could be his Heisman calling card if he has a huge game. These are two stacked teams, with great QBs, and this is definitely one worth watching!

- Wazzou @ #2 Oregon .. look for a Final Four basketball game score, average it, and that is what Oregon will score on Saturday. 65-85 range or so :tennis:

UF @ Mizzou- I have money on Florida, so I'm taking the Gators 24-14.

UCLA @ Stanford- Stanford is coming off a hard fought loss against Utah. I really can't see them losing two in a row, especially this one at home; but, I think UCLA still feels that bad taste from last years Pac 12 championship and will use more outside rushes to wear down Stanford's front 7.

Iowa @ Ohio State- The Iowa and Ohio State game in the past has always been a pretty entertaining game. Iowa usually plays Ohio State tough, but never can pull off a win. I say Ohio State wins with relative ease, 45-20.

UGA @ Vandy- Vandy gets off to a good start, has the momentum early, then talent and depth take over. UGA 42-13.

USCjr @ bUTtchuggers- I'm very interested to see how this USCjr-UT game goes. Tennessee is coming off of a bye week and in their last game, lost a heart breaker in OT to Georgia. I think Tennessee gives the Coots a good game, but USCjr runs away with it in the end off of a few turnovers from Worley. South Carolina 35-21 (god I hate that score).

frAUd @ A&M- Nick Marshal has been practicing all week. A&M better not take this game lightly. Auburn's back field is very talented and their defense is surprisingly playing pretty well from what I've seen. Definitely not saying the goat humpers will win, especially on the road at a tough environment, but I think they'll be able to move the ball well. A&M's defense better be ready. A&M 38-31

LSU @ Ole Miss- Ole Miss supposedly had like 6-7 players out on defense. Bo Wallace is playing like he did last year. Other than being at home and their coach being a bigger dip shit than Les Miles, I don't think Ole Miss has an advantage in this game. LSU 41-17

FSU @ Clemson- Tough game. I'm hoping for Clemson to win honestly, but I feel like FSU will win here and break the streak for home teams. Watching Clemson, they just don't impress me. Florida State 34-31, should be a good game.

Wazzu @ Oregon- Don't even have to talk about this one. I'll just throw up a score like Oregon 63-7.

Upset alert: #10 Miami down by 4 to UNC in Chapel Hill at the half. Miami also lost an RB and WR to injuries.

The bad news for Miami is that their QB is a senior, and they may have to do some kind of restart next year. The good news for Miami, however, is that their QB is a senior and they have the chance to do some kind of restart next year. I wonder if his coaches have explained to him that throwing to the guys in the black jerseys is a bad thing. Four INTs?? So far...Could be at least five, if not more.

That game was terrible. UNC was 1-4 heading into the game, too. Miami just embarrassed themselves ..

They're #10; tamu with that horrid D is #7. Apparently, it doesn't take much to get into the top ten.

#8 Louisville falls to UCF at home, 38-35.

Lou loses to Cen Fla. 38-35

 

[PhillyGirl]

I see everyone else was watching too

 

[rick4bama]

Yes, two post about this too.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Lol I was hoping we'd keep all the week 8 stuff in one place for convenience but hey, it's exciting!

On to Saturday!

Just noticed that FSU are 3.5 favorites at Clemson. A bit surprising in my opinion but we shall see. Should be a great game.

Murray just passed Tebow as the SEC all time leader in total offense.

 

[rick4bama]

Missouri leading UF 13-3, Tenn scores is 17-7 right now.

Couple of things I have noticed in switching back and forth among different games: Mizzou is controlling UF (the score is as close as it is because of a 100 yd Patton KO return). Both of Mizzou's TD possessions were quick; they ripped through the UF D...with ease. UF only has ~ 60+ yards of offense early in the 3rd. Looks like Mizzou is doing pretty well without Franklin.

USCe just took the lead on slUT. Like in the Jawja game, UThug is horrible starting the 3rd quarter. Apparently, whatever adjustments the opposing OCs needed to make were pretty easy. I'm thinking a couple of coaches in Tuscaloosa have noticed that too.

So when do the Muschamp to Texas rumors start...

Vandy down 6 to Georgia with 5 minutes to go, and they are driving down the field.

Vols down by 1 to the Cocks with 3 minutes to go.
