Southern Swami Week 4

Evenin’ y’all! How’s the college football season treatin’ yore favorite team? The ole Swami’s gonna toot his own horn a little and tell ya how I’m doing! Going into week 4, my overall record is 53-10 for a .841 batting average. That’s after goin’ 17-3 (.850) last week. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself! Let’s pick some more! Thursday, Sept. 24th 4 Ole Miss @ S. Carolina- This here’s a scary game for the Johnny Rebs, and if they ain’t careful, it’ll be Gettysburg all over again. The ole Ball Coach is happier than a pig in slop when he can knock off a highly ranked team as an underdog. I’m not sure the Rebel army ain’t just a little overrated at #4. We might just find out in Columbia. Still, I can’t see the Chickens pulling it off. Ole Miss in a close one. Mississippi 30 Carolina 28 Saturday, Sept. 26th Fresno St. @ 14 Cincinnati- Bulldogs overmatched by Bearcats. Cincy 27 Fresno 17 Indiana @ 23 Michigan- Big Blue is rolling. Michigan 31 Indiana 13 Southern Miss @ 20) Kansas- Jayhawks better watch out! Southern is a long-time giant killer. Not today, though. Kansas 34 USM 20 22 North Carolina @ Ga Tech- Jackets bounce back from Miami beatdown. Ga. Tech 28 UNC 24 South Florida @ 18) Florida St.- This game looked interesting until USF QB Matt Grothe went down last week with an injury. Now it’s a mismatch. FSU 31 USF 14 7) LSU @ Mississippi St.- Bulldogs are the SEC cellar dweller. Tigers are near the top. LSU 45 Miss. St. 21 15) TCU @ Clemson- Horned Frogs might just get dehorned in Death Valley. Upset? I’m not sure this qualifies. Clemson 23 TCU 20 Texas-El Paso @ 2) Texas- This ain’t even funny. Texas 55 UTEP 10 Illinois @ 13) Ohio St.- Buckeyes too tough for Illini. Ohio St. 27 Illinois 16 9) Miami @ 11) Va Tech- ‘Canes never travel north well. Upset alert! Hokies down the Canes. Va Tech 20 Miami 18 6) California @ Oregon- This is no gimme for the Bears. Ducks are itching to play spoiler. Cal 28 Oregon 24 Arkansas @ 3) Alabama- The Razorbacks always bring their A game against Bama. This year it won’t matter. Hogs get Bar-B-Q’ed. Alabama 34 Arkansas 20 Colorado St @ 19) BYU- Cougars are fighting mad after last week. The Rams will be sacrificial. BYU 30 CSU 13 1) Florida @ Kentucky- Gators have been less than stellar. ‘Cats don’t have enough firepower to take advantage. Florida 38 Kentucky 16 8) Boise St @ Bowling Green- Hey Boise, play somebody why don’t you? Boise 35 BGU 10 Grambling @ Oklahoma St.- Am I reading this right? What, was Prairie View A&M busy?? Cowboys should be ashamed. Ok St. 59 Grambling 13 La. Lafayette @ 25) Nebraska- Huskers take out frustrations on Cajuns. Nebraska 53 La Lafayette 6 Arizona St. @ 21) Georgia- Sundevils are untested. Dawgs have battle scars. Georgia 24 ASU 20 Iowa @ 5) Penn St.- First tough contest for the Nittany Lions. They best the Hawkeyes. Penn St 22 Iowa 17 24) Washington @ Stanford- Huskies still celebrating USC victory. Stanford steals one. Stanford 27 Washington 24 Texas Tech @ 17) Houston- The scoreboard will be lit up like a Christmas tree in this one. Houston 42 Texas Tech 40 Washington St @ 12) USC- After their annual choke game, the Trojans get to face one of the worst teams in America. And the Trojans will make them pay. USC 56 Wash. St. 17 We’ll do it again next week, y’all. I hope someone out there is reading all these picks and getting some enjoyment. Let’s hear some of you! Good luck to everyone, ‘cept the Razorbacks!
