'20-'21 Bowl Season

[theshiek]

Final Reg Season
LW 6-7
Year 84-102-1


Try to put a dismal reg season in the rear view mirror.

BYU -5-X-country trip and basically a home game for CF, but think Coogs significantly better.

BYU <79 BYU can name their score. Their D holds CF. Something like 49-24

Couldn?t have been closer on your prediction of score ... they kick the extra point and you were spot on!!! Good work

Thanks. I think BYU really could have named the score. Hopefully I'm finally figuring out some things in this crazy year.

La Tech >48 Geo S is a running team, but they get their RS Sr starting QB back today. LaT gave up 30+ to everyone except UTSA
and UTEP. Techsters score enough to push it over. Lean GaS, but can't pull the trigger.

FAU >52- D is optional in the AAC. FAU no O juggernaut, but Memphis D is ?. FAU D is decent, but so is Memp O.

FAU +8- I think FAU keeps it close, plus if a defensive struggle breaks out (which I doubt) I like FAU's chances to win outright.

Marsh +5- Buff has a good team,,,for the MAC. Think wrong team favored.

Marsh >53 Buff D is average. 28-24

GLA & Merry Christmas

UTSA +14 ULL hasn't typically blown people out. Also, think the let down factor is here after getting jacked to play CC and then
having it cancelled. Now, they could come out blazing and PO'd, but I don't see it on the road after the holiday.

Liberty +7 Tough call as I've ridden the Liberty and CC bandwagons all year. Two good teams that this year are as good as middle
Power 5 schools. Poor reason to bet, but I think (hope) it'll a close classic down the wire and + pts will be key.

4-5 so far

Ok St <61 A bit worried w/ Mia DE's not playing. OSU D has been decent with exception of OU and UT games. Don't think 'Canes
are that high powered, plus Canes D will want to atone for the debacle vs UNC last time out.

Texas -7- Always dodgy when laying pts w/ 'Horns, but Buff schedule was weak and they're without star TE and solid frosh WR.

Wisky >51- Even the Wisky O should be able to get >30 vs WF. WF gets enough.

Flor +9 Several key players out on both sides so I'm looking at this as getting bonus pts w/ Flor

Flor >65- Two coaches who will pull out all the stops. Don't be surprised to see a lot of 4th down plays

Tulsa +1 Like the way Tulsa plays. MSU played better schedule, but they're not a physical team who can jam it down an inferior
teams throat. Tulsa D has seen a lot of passing in AAC so think they'll be ready.

Tulsa >45 Looking for a similar game to 27-24 Cincy/Tulsa tilt.

Ball <64- I think RBD said it best in his note that he hates going under with MAC teams. SJS D not bad, though, and Ball did shut
down Buff in 2nd half of MAC title game.

WVU -9- WVU needs to get out to a quick lead and make Army play from behind. Think they can, and then outgun Army rest of the
way.

WVU >41 Couple of WVU LB's out, which is never good vs option. As a result Army should get at least 2 TD's. 31-14

Happy New Year!

Cincy +9- Just saw where RB Doaks is out for Cincy. That'll hurt, but sticking w/ Cincy. Tough team. New found Geo passing game
won't faze them.

Aub +4- Love N'western, but all NW games seem to be slug it out 1 possession affairs. I'll grab the pts

ND >66 This isn't the Bama D of years past, ND will put up pts. Needless to say, so will Bama O.

Clem -7 Will root for OSU, but OSU D is also not like last years. Also, not sold OSU has firepower to play from behind.

Clem <68- OSU will look to ground game to keep Clem O off the field. If Clem gts up, they'll run alot and OSU not a come from
behind team.

Lost the bet, but happy OSU won. Daughter is OSU alum and after going to college in Ohio I've became a fan.

Well. I obviously don't know jack squat about CFB. Worst year ever in CFB, by far. Oh well, come this far so let's close the year so you all have games to fade.

NC St <50- Maybe UK opens up the O for the bowl game, but i see a similar game to the 15-14 Liberty/NCS game earlier in year.

Indy -9- Like Indy's team, but I'm concerned about Kiffin getting the in the backdoor. I'll try it, though.

Indy >68 Indy pass D good, but they gave up points to only good O's they saw. Ole Miss D is swiss cheese.

I St -5- Have to give B12 credit, so far in bowls undefeated. I St better all around team.

I St <58 Two good D's

UNC >66 UNC missing best RB and WR, but Howell's been a gunslinger and I don't see Mack-daddy pulling in the reins. UNC also
missing a top LB from an already iffy D. Teams that want to "make a statement" often don't, but think A&M facing just
the right D to put up points.

Bowl season 15-15

OSU +8- Worried about Fields health, but I'll roll w/ Buckeyes. Just think this is best team 'Bama has played all year.

OSU <74- Fireworks in 1H, then running games in 2H as both position for the W.
