Gus Malzahn named Auburn's head coach

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to become the head coach at Auburn University,it is an outstanding institution  with a storied program,that I had the pleasure of experiencing first hand for three years." Gus Malzahn said in  a statement, "I deeply appreciate the confidence that (president) Dr. Gouge,(athletic director) Jay Jacobs, and the search committee had in my ability to turn this program around and bring Auburn back to national prominence."

"This is a homecoming for me and I look forward to being reunited with the Auburn family".

Butch Jones named coach at Tennessee

Butch Jones said " I am very fortunate to be your head coach" during his first news conference Friday afternoon. It seemed surreal to Butch after the whirlwind week he had.
He stood at a podium at Neyland stadium's Peyton Manning locker room, telling a story about how Manning a legend at UT, had tried to convince him to come and coach at Colorado.

Tennessee has been looking for a coach for over 3 weeks after the firing of Derek Dooley, according to UT's athletic director Dave Hart, Jon Gruden just didn't show any interest in the job,but we are very happy to have Butch, "he has a track record of success at every program he has led, and views Tennessee as the job he has coveted.We look forward to Butch leading our football program back to prominence.

Butch Jones said "it is truly an honor and a privilege to be the head coach at Tennessee,I understand the values,traditions and the level of expectations that come with this position and I look forward to be a part of the Vol nation."

NCAA college football week 8 picks analysis

The game of the day

Well all I can say is Roll tide, what a game that the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide played against Derrick Dolley's Tennessee Vols.

The game went just about like I thought it would except that I didn't think Tennessee would play such good defense in the first half of the game.I will give credit where it is due TN came to play but Alabama's strength just took over after halftime.

I knew coach Nick Saban wouldn't show much on defense and I also thought he would open up the passing game just like he did in the 2nd half and I have to take my hat off to AJ McCarron who was having a bad game up to that point to maintain focus and put the game away in the second half.
In the 94th meeting with the University of Tennessee, Alabama scored 21points in 12 plays and showed the Volunteers that they are a real threat to win the BCS championship.

#1 LSU easily beats #20 Auburn

Les Mile's LSU tigers put a whopping on Auburn and made last years BCS champs look really bad.

The final score being LSU 45 Auburn 10 was really deceptive.It was Auburns worse loss in 15 years.

LSU could've held Auburn scoreless in this game if the mad hatter would have wanted them to.

Enjoy the videos.

Notre Dame's winning streak is over

In case you haven't noticed I don't just pick the obvious winners every week.

Although I am 33 out of 35 for the year after today I have been on a hot streak.

I really thought that Notre Dame would beat USC because I didn't think USC had a running game at all and it was a 24-17 usc lead with 1st and goal for Notre Dame and they turned it over twice and the final score was 35-17 so I did lose that one but I also said if USC played like they did last week they would win, the score truly does not show how close of a game this was.

Anyway Notre Dame is gonna have another average season which is a shame for the senors on that talented team who deserved to go out big winners.

Oklahoma State is real.

The cowboys win 45-24 - it is their 9th staight road win.

Brandon Weeden marched out there and showed everyone that he is indeed one of the best QBs in the nation as they easily beat Missouri who had a 10 game home winning streak snapped today.

Weeden was 33 for 49 for 338 yards after a sizzling start and extended his streak of 30-yard completions to 15 games. The 28-year-old senior was 19 for 25 for 214 yards in the first quarter, with all six incompletions on drops.

I didn't expect Joseph Randle to have the 4 TD day I thought it would've been Justin Blackman.

But the Cowboys are real and I can't wait to watch them beat the Sooners at the end of the year.

#6 Wisconsin vs #16 Michigan State

Michigan State steals it 37-31

Wisconsin is heavily favored in this game but I told you I would take State to pull off an upset.

We get to the 4th quarter with 1:26 seconds left and Michigan State has a chance to steal this game.

I am literally writing this on the fly right now.

Michigan State is trying to set up a field goal for their kicker  who has already kicked a 50 yarder against Ohio State earlier this year, in fact he has 3 50 yarders this yr.

State's running back Bell has cuaght 2 completions for a 1st down and their is .41 seconds to go.

Cousin's  hits bell across the middle to set up Conroy for the game winning field goal.

I think he needs about 5 more yards but there is only .10 seconds on clock.

Cousin's made a bad play by trying a rollout pass which was incomplete and it left only :04 secs on the clock.

Cousin's threw a hail mary to Nicohls and he caught  it and fought 3 Wisconsin defenders for a Michigan State TD, this is a instant classic and I hope you enjoy the video below.

                                                                               

                                                                         

NCAA College Football week 8 picks

Well there are some interesting games this week I'll go ahead and start out with one of the best rivalry games in all of NCAA college football.

#2 Alabama Crimson Tide vs Tennessee Vols

Derrick Dooley has made some good progress at UT but it isn't gonna do any good aginst Alabama, I know coach Saban has been upset this week by the distractions of the media etc but UA will be ready and I look for them to open up the passing game.
Look for McCarron to throw atleast 2 touchdowns and a defensive score as Alabama defeats Tennesee.
Even Dooley's mom can't stop Alabama the tide is going to roll.
Bama wins it by 10

#4 Oklahoma State vs Missouri

I don't think most people realize how good Oklahoma state is, their quarterbacks are as good as any  in the NCAA and Brandon Weeden will have a huge day throwing to one of the best of not the best wide reciever in the country Justin Blackman.
I look for them to light up the scoreboard against a good Missouri team and win easily.
I will be watching states defense real close because if they wanna beat Oklahome this year they had better be able to play some defense.
Many people think this is gonna be a close game I don't I think state wins it by atleast 2 touchdowns.

#1 LSU vs #20 Auburn

I think Auburn will play LSU a hard game but I just don't think that they can beat LSU.
Even though the honeybadger Tyrann Mathieu will be sitting out of this game LSUs defense is too fast for Auburn.
LSU \'s coach Les Miles has suspended 3 players for the game but he wasn't even worried about heisman hopefull Mathieu sitting out.
I think Auburn will run it hard and keep it close but LSU will win this game.

My upsets of the week

#6 Wisconsin vs #16 Michigan State

I think that Michigan state is going to beat Wisconsin.
I know it is going to be a good game but I think State has played and beaten the better teams this year and they are gonna play there absolute best and beat Wisconsin by a field goal.
I know it sounds crazy but that is my pick and I am sticking to it.

USC vs Notre Dame

If USC plays like they did last week they will beat Notre Dame but I don't think they will.
I think Notre Dame is looking at this game as their bowl game and they are gonna go out and beat USC and make Layne Kiffin cry like a baby.
I look for them to really pressure Matt Barkley and make him throw some picks and to run a ball control type offence and steal this game.

You have got to admit I have really put out some dangerous picks this week but that is what makes college football so much fun.

Look for my week 8 recap by Monday

Analysis of my week 6 NCAA college football picks

I had a good week

I went 5 for 5 making my picks 29 out of 30 for the year.

I'll start of with the team I think is going to win it all this year.
The #2 ranked Alabama Crimson tide had a great homecoming game
destroying Vanderbuilt for the 21st consecutive time.
Vanderbuilt played hard in the first half but they allowed 34 points
which is one more point than Vandy's defense has allowed all year.

Look at this amazing grab that DeAndrew White made, he had 2 touchdowns
in the game and looked awesome.

Darius Hanks made a NFL stlye catch for A.J. McCarron check it out ;0)

Why isn't Trent Richardson a heisman front runner his stats are better than
Mark Ingram's was 6 games into Ingram's heisman year? Look at this man
run the football, he is a juggernaut.

Nebrask had a record setting day

The game of the day turned out to be Nebraska coming back and beating Ohio State.

I thought that Nebraska would easily win this game and was shocked when I turned

it on and the score was 27-6 and the buckeyes had the lead and the ball.

But a turnover turned it all around and Nebraska had a day for the record books

when they over came the largest deficit in school history to win 34 to 27.

The key to Nebraska's victory in my opinion was the play of their quarterback

and by the player of the game #22 Rex Burhead, he went off in the 2nd half

putting the team on his back and carrying them to victory, Nebraska scored 28

unanswerd points in the best comeback in school history.

The Red River Shoot-Out was a Oklahoma Blow-Out

Just as I had predicted Oklahoma easily beat Texas but I didn't think that OU

would have 3 defensive scores, That is scary because they are so good on offense.

It would not surprise me at all if Oklahoma is sitting at number one #1 when the

first BCS polls come out next Sunday. I think OU is playing as good as anyone

on bith side of the ball right now and Bob Stoopes is a great coach they are gonna

be playing in the BCS national championship game in my opinion it is just a

question of who are they gonna play Alabama or LSU.

Back in the Southeastern Conference

Arkansas finally beats Auburn 38 to 14

While the score makes it looks like the hogs just blew out Auburn it really

was a close game. Auburn was ahead for most of the first half of the game

and it was back and forth with both teams scoring but Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino

saw what Auburn was doing and got his defense to stop it.

The hogs sealed the win in the 4th quarter when Tremaine Thomas picked off a pass.

LSU dominated Florida winning 41-11

Les Mile's LSU tigers are playing as good as anyone right now.

They have a fast defense and the easily beat Florida.

I didn't watch the game but I saw the highlights to what they did to Florida.

It was pure domination.

I hate to look ahead but Alabama and LSU may be the game of the year.

I just hope BAMA can pull off a big win.

I hope you enjoyed the article, I will keep you all posted on this weeks game

probally around Wed.

Until then Roll Tide!

NCAA College football 2011 week 3

The 2011 NCAA College Football season is off and rolling.

Two weeks into the 2011 College football season, I am going to go out on a limb and say that either #2 Alabama or #3 LSU will win the BCS National championship.

I think that #1 ranked Oklahoma will win out the rest of the year until they face a SEC team in the BCS championship and then they will get beat and the SEC will have another championship.

I hope it is ALABAMA, I still haven't gotten over last years Iron Bowl but I know coach Saban has a NFL caliber defense and the offense is getting better so I  think Alabama has a real good shot at winning it all.

Oklahoma has been ranked #1 in the AP poll for a record breaking 100 times since the poll began in 1936.
I think that they will beat #5 Florida State easily this weekend.

Key games for this week.
Click here for all this weeks scheduled games

Florida vs. Tennessee
Tennessee scored 45 points against Cincinnati in a offensive clinic,
Florida's stingy defense has only given up 3 points in 2 games while their rushing attack is averaging a whopping 250 yards a game on offense.

I'm picking  Florida to win this game with solid defense and scoring a few field goals.

LSU vs Miss State (Thursday the15th on ESPN)

Miss state is a good team this year but LSU is a great team.
I'm picking LSU to win this in a blowout.
Les Miles is going to make a statement in this game LSU is a contender.

Oklahoma Vs Fla State


Again I think that Oklahoma is too good to lose to the Seminoles.
I'm Picking Oklahoma to win a close game.
Oklahoma will stay #1

Auburn vs Clemson


Auburn has found a way to win for awhile now, their winning streak is at 17 games.
I think that their team is getting better on both side of the ball.
Many people have said that Auburn will lose this week.
I'm not one of them I think Auburn runs it for over 150 yards and wins a close game.


Michigan State vs Notre Dame


I think Notre Dame is the best 2 loss team in all the NCAA including Georgia.
They have an awesome offense but their defense has let them down all year.
This is going to be a close game because it always is with Michigan State.

I'm picking Notre Dame to get their 1st win of the year by a field goal.

Until Next Week - Roll Tide
