(5.) West Virginia --- [the Hills may holler in the plains]
(6.) Georgia Tech --- [bah!]
(7.) Louisville --- [probably ... the Cardinals have been more competitive]
(8.) Georgia --- [maybe not ... but the moment may be too big for Harsin in his first go of it]

(10.) Wisconsin --- [Bielema becomes the gum on the bottom of someone's cleat]
(11.) Iowa --- [I like `em to win the west ... this could end up a rematch for the conference]

(14.) Texas Tech --- [I'm not sure that either are any good]
(15.) Wyoming --- [I went against them before and got burnt]
(16.) Michigan --- [1 game does not a contender make ... Huskers still have to prove it]
(17.) Virginia Tech --- [will the Leprechauns still be nursing a loser's hangover ..?]
(18.) Kentucky --- [how did they get flurdah & Voodoo back to back in Lexington .?.]
(19.) Alabama --- [this game only made the list because of name recognition ... but, come on]

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Did they play either side of the ball today?

O' I supose they're hollerin' ... but not for the reasons I had presumed they'd be.

Point!
