It seems crazy to call this an upset, but I still believe the Earth is round and the Panthers aren’t championship material. The Tigers haven’t been the underdog in a regular-season game in five years, but the world has officially spun off its axis. Upset Special - Clemson at Pittsburgh: The Panthers are 3-point favorites over Clemson. Their only hope is that the Aggies are looking ahead to next week’s game against Open Date. South Carolina at Texas A&M: The Gamecocks are coming off a 21-20 win over Vanderbilt, which should give them zero momentum heading into Kyle Field. Unless he comes back to life and enrolls with 14 clones … Arkansas, 44-12. Trivia note II – NFL Hall of Fame receiver Don Hutson was born in Pine Bluff. Mississippi State, 38-17.Īrkansas-Pine Bluff at Arkansas: Trivia note – No team has ever beaten Texas and Texas A&M and lost to Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the same season. If Georgia shuts out UF next week and Vandy keeps scoring, the Commodores will break UF’s record in the 2055 season. I predict they’ll run their scoring streak to two games, which would be only 412 games behind the NCAA record currently held by the Gators. Mississippi State at Vanderbilt: It took three games, but the Commodores finally scored against an SEC opponent last week. But, unlike the Florida game, LSU can’t count on the opposing quarterback(s) tossing four interceptions or Tyrion Davis-Price gaining 287 yards. And do not adjust your sets if the Tigers keep rallying around Ed Orgeron as his farewell tour begins.
The end zones have been painted with “Manning,” to honor the retirement of Eli Manning’s No. LSU at Ole Miss: Do not adjust your sets. Unless Mike Norvell uses the Jacksonville State game plan … FSU, 43-9.
And stop the presses! The Seminoles have a longer winning streak than Alabama, Oregon, Notre Dame, Iowa, Texas, Florida, New England, Buffalo and the L.A. UMass at FSU: UMass hasn’t had a winning season since the Pilgrims landed. Alas, those factors won’t be enough for the upset. And security at Bryant-Denny Stadium isn’t great against fans throwing golf balls, which is also a Tennessee strength. The Crimson Tide’s defense isn’t great against the run, which is a Tennessee strength. Tennessee at Alabama: This could be surprisingly interesting. In keeping with the spirit of things, I’m blaming Todd Grantham. I somehow sprung a leak last week, going 7-3.
If you’re determined to treat this as a normal football weekend, I’m obligated to give you my normal lead-pipe-cinch predictions. Then imagine what it’s like to walk in the shoes of most fans. Rearrange your sock drawer.Īvoid football, other than maybe checking the scores. The mass indigestion is understandable, but give yourself a break this weekend. They would love to have UF’s riches, facilities and cachet. With most schools, the best fans can hope for is a bid to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. UF’s program is not reaching its potential, but at least the potential is there. More: Whitley: Mullen needs to come with better answers Whitley's Believe It Or Not: Will AR-15 be a Gator in 2022? Gators notebook: Mullen plans to play both QBs vs. But it’s Florida’s bye week, an ideal time to unplug, reflect and at least try to count your football blessings. Fans are waking up in cold sweats as LSU’s Tyrion Davis-Price runs untouched through their nightmares. I realize playing the perspective card is probably futile. “until I met a man who cheered for Miami or Arizona or Kansas or Rice or Vanderbilt.” It’s unclear where that proverb originated, but the first half is easily applied to what Gator fans are saying - “I cried because I had no defense or top-100 recruits or prayer against Georgia.”Īllow me to provide the second half of the proverb … “I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” In hopes of making everybody feel better, so here goes nothing. It’s been a depressing week for Florida fans.
