We are all well aware the Greatest Pool in the History of the World is not a sprint. It’s a long, arduous journey with potential disasters looming week after week. (See Bevo). The great marathoners say that the first part is the easy part, the kick down the stretch is where the guttiest competitors win or lose the race. And as Ricky Bobby says, “If you aint first, you’re last.”
“Emotion is highly overrated in football. My wife Corky is emotional as hell but can’t play football worth a damn.” – John McKay’s steady hand has his squad in first place after a season-high 63 point week. Lovie covers in his doubler, Georgia gets ranked points beating the Gators. He goes 6-0 and gets the very rare 6-0 vs. the spread.
It started bad Thursday night for Silent Bob with App State losing and he never recovered. Fla State and No Illinois also lost, he left Memphis and their win over ranked SMU on the bench. Liberty gets 18 in his doubler – and that’s his total for the week.
Meathead sits in 3rd, just 2 points back going 5-1. Syracuse got throttled at home for his only loss.
Late-night losses spoiled Mike Lynn’s week. Luckily it was turn back the clock night so he could watch his Rainbows lose to Fresno He sits in 4th, the worst of the best.
51 points back from 4th place is Gob – the best of the worst. His doubling of MTSU was admittedly a random call and did not work out. He goes 4-2 and scores a week-low 11 points.
Earnest sits in 5th after a 5-1 bounce back week. The Huskies have been a major disappointment this year for EB – losing at home to the Utes.
Remaining in 6th and 7th, Eli and Bevo. Eli’s only loss this week was the head-to-head Lazerus play between Nevada and New Mexico. Bevo’s lowly Huskers fell again at Purdue and Troy lost to “something called Coastal Carolina”.
We head to week 11 and November, where champions are crowned.
