Some Questions from the Village Idiot
Sep 19, 2007 | 3:21PM | report this

All right, everyone has made it through the first 3 weeks of games this year.  We are now starting to see some strengths and weaknesses come into the light.  It is early yet, but with a couple games under the belts of this years' teams, we can start to classify some teams with potential and some without.

With that being said, I am still full of questions.  I am like that annoying guy that sits in the front of the class and keeps everyone late because there is no end to the stupid questions spewing from his mouth. 

Texas A&M/Miami - Which one of these two teams is further up the road to regain the winning traditions their fans are used to seeing?  Will that once vaunted aTm defense be able to stop the underachieving Miami offense?  Can the Miami offense execute?  How many Hurricanes does it take to bring down big Javorskie Lane?  Probably too many.  If it were in College Station, I would like the Aggies.  Flip a coin.  Heads=aTm Tails=Miami.

North Carolina/South Florida - How long can the Bulls keep it going?  Can the Tarheels leave Florida with a 2-2 record?  Will the week off for the Bulls keep them from a let-down game?  How much talent do they have in South Florida?  I like the Bulls to edge-out the Tarheels in this one.

East Carolina/West Virginia - Can the ECU defense come up with an answer to the mighty Mountaineer offense?  Is the heat that West Virgina been taking over not dominating others well founded?  WV should win this one 9 times out of 9, but I have a feeling that it will be closer than the 25 points the experts in Vegas believe it to be.

Wyoming/Ohio - Which 2-1 team will prevail?  Don't you have to like match-ups like this one?  Both are teams that are playing for nothing more than the chance to go to a bowl game at the end of the season.  No day one NFL draft picks.  No chance at a BCS.  Possibly a chance to play for their respective conference championships.  I know I am in the minority, but I love games like these.

Penn State/Michigan - How many home games can a team start with?  Can Joe Pa get that big, stinky, flea-infested, mangy #### off his back?  Will this Michigan team rise to the challenge this week?  How can Michigan lose 3 home games in the same week?  Stay tuned.  Joey P. should come out ahead, but anything is possible in college football.

Texas Tech/Oklahoma State - What is up with Okie State?  If the strongest part of OSU's team is the offense, how can they even stand a chance in this one?  How many pass plays will be in this one?  Which of these two teams have to battle it out with the Aggies for third place in the conference's Southern division?  Oklahoma State should be better than they are right now.  I have faith that this OSU squad will put it together at some time during the year, just not this week.  I have to give the nod to the Leach's pass-happy bunch from Lubbock. 

Kentucky/Arkansas - Can the Wildcats keep the magic while on the road?  Can Arkansas play to the expectations of their fans?  Will that Razorback defense be too much for Kentucky's QB Woodson?  Will Kentucky survive to be in the polls next week?  How bad will that heartbreaking loss to the Tide affect the Hogs' season?  My pea-sized brain says Arkansas, but my heart is with the Cats on this one.

New Mexico State/Auburn - How bad is Auburn?  I ask this question every week and every week the answer is really, really bad.  Will Hal Mumme's offense steal the show?  I would hope that Auburn wouldn't lose this one, especially at home.  But, NMSU did beat UTEP and played the Lobos tough.  The Lobos did just beat the Arizona Wildcats, and Hal Mumme used to coach the Wildcats of Kentucky.  Coincidence?  I think not.  Upset city, baby!  (That is why I am the Village ####.)

Georgia/Alabama - After the huge win against Arkansas, how will the Tide fair against a seemingly good Georgia team?  Can Saban rally the boys to defend his home turf against the Bulldogs?  Just how good are these boys from Georgia?  Will the loss to SC kill the spirit of the Dawgs?  This is a good interdivisional match-up from the SEC.  I like Georgia to show Alabama what a let-down game feels like.

Iowa/Wisconsin - How bad is Iowa?  How good is Wisconsin?  I don't think you can gauge how good/bad Iowa is when they play Iowa State.  So, the Hawkeyes lost in Ames to a seriously inferior team.  The Badgers have not really dominated the way they were expected.  I think it is another good match-up.  Wisconcin should win but the Hawkeyes make it an exciting game for sure.

And Finally!!!

South Carolina/LSU - How good is this batch of boys the old ball coach has playing for him?  How can LSU not win?  Will the stout defense slow down the LSU offense?  Has LSU shown what they can really do?  I am afraid for South Carolina that LSU hasn't even begun.  I am not that stupid to count Spurrier out.  I am sure that he has something up his mighty sleeve that will give LSU fits for a while, but Pelini has too much for the Gamecock offense.  16.5 points? I like LSU until they show some kind of weakness.  So far, I haven't seen any.

ABOUT ME


oldskewler
I like the match-ups and the years of bad-blood between rivals in college football. I enjoy a good game no matter the national implications.
Give me a 3OT game between a couple of Sun Belt teams over a 40 point blowout between a couple top 25 teams anytime. I consider myself to be a fan of the game. I will be as respectful to visitors on my blog as they are to me. Go Huskers! Go Navy! Go Jags! Go Cubbies!
