Gentlemen…….. the more I look at these games and the more I think about these games, I’m starting to convince myself that Michigan, Alabama, and Cincinnati could all lose this weekend.

I mean, Iowa is solid and ain’t going to beat themselves, and that Georgia defense is for real and ‘Bama struggles a bit on offense, and Houston can score with Holgorsen’s offense, although when he was at WVU his teams were not all that disciplined and oftentimes hurt themselves…….. this thing could get real interesting.

Can you say Cowboys, Fighting Irish and Buckeyes along with Bulldogs in the CFP????? :wink:

Alabama finds a defense, where Georgia has been misplacing it here & there.

Houston played really well in the first quarter, then that lack of Holgorsen's team discipline has reared its ugly face.

Michigan/Iowa is set to kickoff in 45 minutes ...

Baylor's defense saves the day; the Cowboys [despite the referees' best efforts] were unable to realize the dream.

All I am sure of, is my picks are taking a serious plummet this week.
