2016 Prediction Record: 5 - 4
Week 3 Recap
Week 3 was exciting and heart-wrenching and hilarious and many other things. FSU got Action Jacksoned, Ohio State proved they did in fact come to play football and not school against Oklahoma, Alabama broke the Curse of The Frat Swoop, and Iowa made the horrible mistake of scheduling North Dakota State. Look, FBS schools, if you're not absolutely sure you're going to be in the playoffs, you don't want to mess with the Bison.

Week 4 Predictions
Ole Miss 30 - Georgia 21
Ok, Georgia. Here's your chance to shut me up. Nick Chubb could easily rush for 200 yards and own the game. Jacob Eason could put it all together in week 4 and go nuts on a defense that gave up big comebacks to FSU and Alabama. Or UGA could wuss their way around this one like they did Nicholls State and Frat League superstar Chad Kelly could go off for 400 yards and 13 touchdowns. I don't know about you all, but I'm leaning towards the Delta Psi captain bringing home the W here.
Michigan State 24 - Wisconsin 20
Man, this is going to be an exciting game if you like taking naps in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. It's Big 10 football. No team outside of Ohio State has won a meaningful game in the last 20 years. Wisconsin beat a bad LSU team and Notre Dame apparently isn't very good, so yeah, I'm not impressed right now.
Florida 27 - Tennessee 23
I was pretty close to being very hype about this game, and then Luke Ding Dang Damn Del Rio hurt himself against North Texas. Tennessee, as you all know, is vastly overrated even at their current position in the polls. Butch Jones needs a big win here to prove to folks that he isn't in fact a UPS driver that wandered into the coach's office and just nobody questioned him for years. Jim McElwain, the latest in a string of insane Florida coaches (see: Urban Meyer nervous breakdown, Will Muschamp having to restrain himself from eating a player's soul), might actually fight a Tennessee player, or one of his own. We'll see!

Arkansas 26 - Texas A&M 24
By God, I'm going to get one of these A&M losses correct. Bret Bielema and his wife are one of the least liked families in college football. Right up there with those uppity Mannings and the Bowdens. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID, TERRY! But the distaste I have for Aggy trumps all of that. The Swagcopter is surely running out of fuel and Trevor Knight literally can't have 4 decent games in a row. Please please please let me be able to call in the hogs after this game, Bert.
Texas Football
The Longhorns' loss on the road at Cal was a painful experience for me to go through at 1:45 am on Sunday morning. We blew a lead, we turned the ball over several times, we gave up almost 400 yards passing, there were mistakes on the field and in the coaching booth, and we're going to have to answer some serious questions moving forward. BUT, I think you're all forgetting that before this season we were just praying not to get blown out by Notre Dame.
We're 2 and 1! Shane Buechele is a likely Heisman candidate next season! Our running backs still mash folks!
We've played 3 games this year and been competitive in all 3. Do you people REMEMBER last year? TCU scored 67 points on us in the first 5 minutes of the game. Iowa State didn't even show up to the game and beat us in Ames!
Yes, the loss was very disappointing and we need to reset expectations after opening the season with two wins. But the Big 12 is very average this year. Oklahoma, TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, none of these teams scare me. We're going to compete for the conference championship this year, and with some luck maybe end up with 10 wins. THAT'S ALL STILL POSSIBLE AND NOT EVEN THAT UNLIKELY!
So it's alright to be upset after Cal, I certainly am. But let's just keep things in perspective. The future is bright both for the rest of this season and next year. This is real hope we have here, and now real talent. I think we win at least 8 games this year and that should be enough to keep Charlie's job so we can make a title run next season.
Keep your horns up, fam. Hook 'em.
