I feel like I should’ve done better last week.
Don’t get me wrong; I can’t complain too much tallying a 12-6 record, but umm …
When you consider that Washington barely beat Oregon (I still think the Ducks should’ve got that win), Notre Dame beating the hell out of USC (which I honestly didn’t see coming), Louisville getting thrashed at Pittsburgh (how?) and Arizona completely annihilating Washington State in a 44-6 beating on the road (I can’t wrap my head around that one) …
Dude, I should have gone 16-2, at the very least 15-3. But instead, here I am at 12-6.
Thanks, college football.
- Week 2: 21-2 (21-2)
- Week 3: 22-2 (43-4)
- Week 4: 17-2 (60-6)
- Week 5: 15-3 (75-9)
- Week 6: 9-6 (84-15)
- Week 7: 12-6 (96-21)
That’s an 82% winning rate, by the way — sexy.
Here in Week 8, our Game of the Week is easily the Big 10 rivalry contest between No. 7 Penn State and No. 3 Ohio State, with both teams not only being top 10 powers, but also sitting undefeated at 6-0. Something’s gotta give in this one, which is gonna make this game incredibly fun as hell. Get your popcorn, folks!

Up next in my forecast is a good ol’ fashioned SEC rivalry matchup between No. 17 Tennessee and No. 11 Alabama, and then No. 4 Florida State with a bit of a test at home against No. 16 Duke. And is it just me, or have the Seminoles been fun as ish to watch this season? (RELATED: Dolphins Or Eagles? Lions Or Ravens? Jaguars Or Saints? Andrew Powell Makes His NFL Week 7 Picks)
