Why? Because I just pooped in a box for the 2nd time in 3 years. Getting old sucks. Will be dropping it off at the UPS store on the way to the Clemson game this morning. I don't have a guess as to whether the Tigers will show up today or not. Sad that we're only 3.5 point favs against the Dukies.

UGA faces FLA in Jacksonville at the world's largest cocktail party. Frat boys will be fraternizing. Sorority girls will be blushing. And oh yeah, a little bit of football will be played. UGA won this contest last year by 14 points. In 2023, they won by 23. In 2022, they won by 22. Florida has a new interim coach after Napier got canned - don't even know his name, and don't care. Yes, the Florida kids could rally around the new guy, or they could make a big statement by crapping the bed. UGA has by far the better team on both sides of the ball. I have this as UGA winning by at least 10.
Stanford +14
Pitt heads to the west coast to face the trees, who haven't lost at home this year. It will be a tall task for them to keep this streak alive, but I think Pitt is getting too much credit here. The Panthers face Notre Dame in their next game after a bye week, followed by GT and Miami. The Panthers could be overlooking the trees in this spot, and focusing on the leprechaun pooping in the forest instead. I think Stanford is dialed in for this contest and keeps this somewhat close.
Minnesota -4
The Spartans got kicked in the teeth by the Wolverines for their 5th loss in a row and they're still reeling from it. Like a drunk guy in the crowded public bathroom who needs to drop a deuce, at 3-5, they're quickly losing hope of even finding a toilet bowl before it's too late. Both teams get a bye week next week. The Gophers become bowl eligible with a win in this spot. They also have a legitimate shot at an 8 win season, which is pretty good for a team that is traditionally good at digging themselves holes, like the gophers they are. I have MIN winning this by at least a TD.
Maryland +22
The Hoosiers have only played 2 road games so far this season and both of them were very close contests. Meanwhile, the slow and ugly turtles are coming off a bye week and have had plenty of time to prepare for this one. Even though "WE WERE.... PENN STATE!!!" has had a crap-filled year, I still think IND is looking ahead to their game in not-so-happy-valley next week. This is a classic spot for a home dog and I think MD keeps this within 17 points.
Ole Miss -12
The chickens gave the elephants quite a scare last week. But they couldn't get it done when it counted, and the Tide dropped an elephant-sized dump on cocky and the boys in the last 2 minutes of the game. Meanwhile, the rebels are happy to be back home in Oxford after a 2 game road trip that saw them realize their first loss of the season against UGA. The rebs aren't looking ahead because their next game is against Charleston Community College, er..., the Citadel. Other than panty-dropping Mississippi debutants, Lane's only focus this week is on containing Sellers and wringing the necks of the chickens. Ole Miss wins this one by 3 scores.
Georgia Tech -5.5
The bees head to NC to take on the pack of puppies. Dave Doeren's job is probably on the ropes and from interviews he's done, he seems ok with getting fired. At this point, he's throwing crap at the walls and hoping something will finally stick somewhere. Both teams head into a bye week next week. NCST has lost 4 of their last 5, with their only victory coming against the Campbell middle school camels a couple of weeks ago. GT will keep their undefeated streak alive and win by at least 1 TD.
