O Yeah, it’s a game circled on this boy’s calendar every year… UNCheat vs VT. Especially juicy this year as the prestigious academic snobs from the south’s oldest university had to employ the slimy Breaking Bad legal antics of “Better call Saul” lawyering to keep those banners hanging in the not so holy dean dome. So remember when you do a crime...better call Saul University aka UNCheat. (See Link Below)

Last week was the equivalent of knocking all the chess pieces off of my checkerboard and resetting the game. Separation between the pretenders, losers & potentials was created on one of the weirdest weeks in College Football: Alabama, Penn State, Georgia, TCU & Wisconsin now control their destiny, but not far behind are Ohio State, Miami, Clemson & Oklahoma. Meanwhile USC & Notre Dame play in an elimination game this weekend but more on that later. All Others will need some assistance to make the run to the playoff.

Seasons went all curveball for some and check out these Top 5 coaches quotes of the week:

(5) Washington State’s Mike Leeach after team’s defeat Friday night. “...sometimes it doesn’t go your way and you just suck...tonight we sucked, then we sucked some more,…and in the 3rd QTR we really sucked so by the end of it we played hard and sucked harder than they did.”

(4) after being terminated for cause by Louisville due to the FBI scandal, Ricky Pitino, “..I’m suing the University as there’s nothing in my contract regarding FBI investigations, anywhere”. ( Hey Rick, take the Advice of Ole Roy as you “...Better call Saul University, aka UNCheat legal team”, ‘cause they don’t care how bad the crime, so long as the alumni funding their endowments...you’ll never do the time).

(3) when asked what LSU Coach O missed the most from his time as head whistle @ Ole Miss: “... Chevron Gas Station’s Chicken on a stick. da best I ever had. Filled my car up daily going home cause my wife cookin’ wasn’t really good back then. Ate there daily for at least 2.5 years straight before gonna home”.

(2) Arkansas Bret Bilema-game tradition — “I go Commando after we win a game for the week it’s my way of rewarding myself & my girlfriend (now wife) with our win...it makes winning feel great!”

(1) ut Coach Butch Jones @ SEC weekly press conference: “...I PERSONALLY REVIEWED THE TAPE,...we did everything perfect, PERFECT!...game plan...PERFECT!, execution, PERFECT!, check downs...PERFECT...we just didn’t score. BUT OTHERWISE IT WAS PERFECT GAME! ...Got it”…...Hmmmm Team U-haul we have a pick up in progress going to Knoxville, TN…

Boston College Eagles vs Thomas Jefferson’s University of Virginia Cavilers Why this game you might ask for my kickoff, well I wanted to celebrate BC's OC Scott Loeffler scoring 45 Points & their win over Bobby P’s Louisville Cardinals last week. That has to be the most points he’s ever coordinated up there in his life. The real lottery question is: can these Screaming Eagles ride this momentum into Hoosville and take down Coach Pony’s 5-1 Cavaliers? Or will Coach Pony double down and get Bowl Eligible this week for the first time since Jefferson was President? To be fair, Wahoos have earned their momentum the hard way (yes that’s a ramming joke) but so far this season the Cavilers led by QB Benkert, with 15 TDS and 3 INTs, has orchestrated a balanced offense attack. Defensively the Whoos are solid holding teams to just under 20 Points/game. BC’s Defense is solid for 3/4 but wear down going deep into both halves. Pony vs Scotty hmmmmmm. After consulting with Section 7, we’re going with the upset here as Scott Loeffler has never lost a game in Scott Stadium and believe his offense will do enough by not turning over the ball. They’ll be tears in the Pinot Grigio @ the social gatherings following the athletic exhibition in Charlottesville Saturday afternoon but good news this ends some of that boorish behaviour on Stadium Drive. As the bowl of choice remains Cheerios in Hoosville.

ut vs #1 Alabama Crimson Tide
The line is -37 in Vegas, that means ut is predicted to lose by more than 5 TD. I’ve seen M*A*S*H units with less triage than ut’s squad… ut has not scored a TD in 10 Quarters, but accordingly to Butch Jones they’ve been playing PERFECT! I worked with a few ut grads and I vote for a blow out of epic proportions. I’m taking the over BTW, as I can only guess ut AD, John Currie, didn’t want to hand his interim coach to Saben on a platter. Bama Rolls…. 69 ut 10

#11 University of Southern California vs #13 Notre Dame Memo to both teams from the Disney CEO, Bob Iger,“…Coach Kelly and Coach Helton: blah blah blah…. It is required that one of you to step forward this week as our TV ratings will plummet if we have to choose Fort Worth, TX TV Market (aka, 2014 OSU—get it!) Thank you, signed the real playoff committee The Mouse Network. hmmmmm

Both teams are evenly matched and statistically ND has an edge. Trojan man QB Donaldson needs to relax and have some fun in the game. When he’s tight and forces his balls he misses his mark by not completing the pass. But when he’s Joe ‘California’ Cool, he’s one of the best ball slingers in all of QB football—at any level. Meanwhile Coach Kelly has steadily built his team from the line of scrimmage as this team has imposed its will on opponents. Turnovers are the key and critical for the Irish to win. Crystal Ball says USC gets an early lead and some turnovers as ND young QB Wimbush starts pressing. Trojan’s win!

#19 Michigan Wolverines vs #2 Penn State Nittany Lions Michigan DC Brown is very good at controlling the game and creating havoc for offensive coordinators. His scheme often smother offenses into frustrating turnovers as they attempt to do more than what the play can deliver. Patience is the key for PSU. QB Trace McSorley proved himself at Iowa and Saturday tells the Heisman Voters, to wait and not forget about # 9 as he’s got a pretty good game himself. Meanwhile his dynamic duo companion is looking for a break out game against a tough defense. So let’s see… Two players on the same team looking to make Heisman moments against what is most likely the 2nd or 3rd best DC in the game. (Editor’s note: Everyone knows #1…This Bud’s for You!). I’d love to pick the upset so I am Michigan gets the short fields on turnovers (3+). Go Blue!

UNCheat vs. #14 Virginia Tech Hokies aka NC2VT!
UNCheater pants stumble into Blacksburg at 1-6, but heck what can we expect from these tar heels having to go to class now and all… It’s a terrible inconvenience in fact some have classes at 9 AM… now that’s inhuman.. .you know they… Better Call Saul University… O wait conflict of interest...sorry… anyway… UNCheat HC Fedora tried desperately to get the Baylor job last year, but failed; meanwhile UNCheat QB Surratt was forced into this starting role after LSU transfer QB Bryant failed to master the forward pass, Surratt's got talent but his supporting cast has abandoned him at times as UNCheat has been somewhat of a M*A*S*H unit this season with double digit season ending injuries. Defensively Better Call Saul U can’t stop the run, can’t stop the pass, can’t cover punts punt, but their extra point defense hasn’t given up a single 2 point conversion all season long. Meanwhile the Hokies returns to action after an off week mending a few injuries and bruises. RB #34 Travon McMillan, it’s now or never! Step up, take the rock and run for 200+ yards and hand the ball to the back judge as you score 3+ times Saturday. ,VT’s QB Jackson knows a thing or two about the forward pass and look for him to stretch the field as VT looks to get a few more receivers involved but would love to see #15 Savoy get the first of many TDs Saturday as this game is a statement game for VT. Time to win, Win BIG and pull away early… hanging 50+ onto the Tar Heels by Halftime or to quote another famous Goodman, White Goodman from Dodgeball’s GloboGym fame and fortune… after VT rolls up UNCheat by half a hundred those Tar Heels will be little more than a skid mark on the underpants of the ACC (Another Carolina Cheatin’) Commissioner.

Let’s Go…Hokies!!!!
Beat UNCheat!! aka Better call Saul U
