College Schedule Tightens

Last week went 6-0 on the games played to spurt my record for the year to 57-18.  There are several games critical to conferences standing this week.  We will start with a biggie in Conference USA South.

Averitt 3-3 2-1 @ North Carolina Wesleyan 3-3 2-1:  These two are battling for second spot behind Maryville.  Let's compare scores.  Maryville 31 Averitt 26, Maryville 31 NC W 17.  Averitt 52 Greensboro 6, NC W 44 Greensboro  0.  All indications this will be a dog fight.  Playing home I give the edge to the Bishops  27-23

Connecticut 3-5 @ ECU 2-5:  The Pirates losers of five in a row. U Conn has lost five but they have been very competitive in all.  I'll take the Huskies 31-23

Boston College 3-4 @ N C State 4-3:  When was the last time State played a top ten team and that team stated they were ready to play against the Pack.  Just maybe a little respect was afforded to the Pack by Louisville.  Something the FSU and Clemson have never worried about against the Pack.  If they have at least risen to respectability they need to pound BC.  State 34 BC 24

Duke 3-4 @ Georgia Tech 4-3:  I wrongly thought this game was last week and picked Duke. Changed my mind this week.  Tech 27 Duke 24

Army 4-3 @ Wake Forest 5-2:  There is a chance the Deacs are 6-2 after this week but they had better be ready to play.  Wake 26 USMA 20

Miami 4-3 @ Notre Dame 2-5:  The Canes have lost three straight and the Irish are floundering as well.  The Irish just might win this one in front of touchdown Jesus.

Clemson 7-0 @Florida State 5-2:  FSU gave up 59 to Louisville and Clemson won in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals.  Just don't think the Noles can win this one but if you are going to compare scores between State and Clemson and Louisville and State, Louisville best team in league.  If The Tigers want any part of the playoffs they had better not lose in the Sunshine State.  Clemson 36 FSU 28.

Louisville 6-1 at UVA 2-5:  We will get to see how much respect the Cards give the Wahoos in Charlotteville.  Remember  with Ohio  State losing the Cards are inching up on top four in the polls with  no big head line game rest of the way.  Look for 60 if they can get it.  Louisville 56 UVA 17
