Finally Feels like Football Weather

Several teams from around the area start high school playoffs tonight while RMA tries to wrap up another state title in eight man.  The college scene has NC Wesleyan wrapping up their season as well as the other area colleges hitting the ten games played mark.  Went 4-1 last week to run my guess record for the year in college games to 75-25.

Huntingdon Al at N C Wesleyan:  This should be an excellent game to finish up the season with.  Huntingdon is second while Wesleyan is middle of the pack.  This has been a fairly good season for the Battling Bishops and could get topped off if they can spring an upset.  Home field will help but Huntingdon wins 34-28

The Big one in the ACC has Florida State traveling to Miami.  Let's face it FSU played a couple of strong teams early but nobody the last six weeks or so.  The folks with the playoff vote have been dropping the Noles every week due to their lack luster play.  The Canes will be the team to knock Florida State off the ACC perch.  Miami 38- FSU 35

Clemson and Georgia Tech:  Should FSU go undefeated the winner of this game will be in competition with Duke for the Orange Bowl game.  Clemson has been hurt by injuries but somehow or other during this period in football where the quarterback passing is king Georgia Tech keeps on running the wishbone and winning 9 games every year.  I'll take Tech  36-33

Virginia Tech after beating Ohio State hasn't done much since.  Duke just keeps on winning and I think they win again this week in a low scoring game.  Duke  24  VA Tech 17

Pitt at North Carolina:  I hope the score board has new light bulbs because the points will be flying.  Hope a week off for the Tar Heels helps the defense.  Pitt 52- Carolina 42

Wake at N C State:  Wake has a good defense which will probably hold the Pack scoring down.  A win and the Pack will have enough wins to be Bowl Eligible.  Pack 31- Wake 17

Time to vent:   Now that everyone plays 12 football games please change the bowl eligibility to seven wins.  No team 6-6 has earned a special trip to a bowl game.

The state 1-A playoffs in the east have eight teams that range from 1-8, 2-6, 2-9, 2-8, 3-8, 3-7, 3-7 4-7.  What are they doing in the playoffs.  If their is not enough quality teams cut 1-A back to a four game playoff PLEASE.
