Not really worried about the Maryland game. The same thing happened with Rutgers at home last year, and that’s ignoring that Rutgers was a 5-win team last year and Maryland is looking like an 8/9-win team. Would love to see them kill MSU and get to 9 wins, it definitely looks possible.

Dan Mullen is such an underrated coach, Florida shouldn’t have fired him after one bad year.

I could see him having a lot of success at Georgia Tech

#17 TCU @ #19 Kansas

Well, we know whose picks you used as a template.

(Stanford-UCLA isn't in the pick'em; Donerail included it because he's a Stanford homer.)

Oh lol I always use his cause he removes the ugly TV channels

Reading a Michigan board during games is like an election night thread of just D-MA

Try looking at Michigan twitter, Michigan fans are scum.

Are you under the impression that I’m an MSU fan? UM fans are just all doomers. We are not the same

Let me try my hand at bowl preds

Fiesta: #1 Ohio State (13-0) vs. #4 Tennessee (11-1)

Peach: #2 Georgia (13-0) vs. #3 Clemson (13-0)

Rose: #5 Michigan (11-1) vs. #7 Utah (11-2)

Sugar: #6 Alabama (11-2) vs. #8 TCU (11-2)

The PAC-12 top two went to four tiebreakers which involved me picking every conference game left on the schedule (Utah beats 11-1 UCLA and the PAC-12 cannibalizes itself yet again)

Illinois has no path to the Rose bowl unless they win the Big Ten, which isn’t happening. Potentially Penn State could if Michigan and ohio both get into the playoff

I hate to say it but I really don't see a way Utah wins this week. It's hard to beat a team twice in a season, and it's even harder when that team has taken huge steps since the last meeting. Caleb and the offense have too much confidence to lose. I would say it won't be close but their piss poor defense has made like all of their games close.

I do think if play Georgia it'll be a bad matchup for USC and they might get beat down. But this week looks to be all Caleb Williams.
