You’re So Predictable: The Great Pretenders

domer.mq

Last week, you came as close to being right as circumstances would allow, as Kentucky certainly put a bit of a scare into Alabama.

If we learned one thing in the last week of College Football, it’s that South Florida was not a top-10 team. We can probably take it further and say that a lot of “top teams” probably aren’t top teams, and probably will get exposed as the mediocre teams they are by losing to other mediocre teams (side note: it sure helps the less highly rated, mediocre team if that team has LeSean McCoy. (side-side note: Imagine if that kid were playing for Southern Cal)). So taking that into consideration…


Which Pretender Falls Apart This Week?

  • #16 Kansas will stop the pretending against Colorado (36%, 47 Votes)
  • #13 Vanderbilt will snap back to reality against Miss. State. (31%, 40 Votes)
  • #3 Missouri will let the guise of greatness fall vs. #17 Oklahoma State (22%, 28 Votes)
  • #7 Texas Tech will be disillusioned by Nebraska (11%, 14 Votes)

And since we’re talking pretenders…



Man, Oldie really needs to use that song in a highlight video. Hey, where the hell is Oldie?

But yeah, I miss him too. :^(

I know, Geoff. I was just trying to find a way to call out Oldie other than, “man, wasn’t it great when he used this song?”

For those of you who voted for Tech…you obviously dont understand the magnitude of their greatness right now. There is no way they go down to a Nebraska team that has been completely neutered.

This specific matchup aside, Tech is for real for real. I watched that game against K-state and every single one of their receivers is a legit power. Did you know they chart every play that is directed at each of their receivers to make sure they all get a proportional amount of throws? It ensures that the D cant double one specific guy and any one of them can torch you. That’s a scary, scary team up there in Lube-c*ck.
