From 7-3 to 63-61, you never know what the hell you’re getting when a bunch of 18-22 year old buzz heads take the field. There are some pretty good bets though, and the CFB Pool took advantage (mostly) in week 1.
The Hagg wasn’t singing the blues, getting a pool-high 22 points out of Ohio State (6 ranked pts.) in the win over the Irish. He leads after week 1 with a solid 54 points.
John McKay’s 1-2 punch of Oklahoma and USC had big wins against their over-matched fodder to start the year. The Beloved pitches a shutout over the exiled Jerry Kill. 52 points for the week.
Mike Lynn rounds out the 50+ club with 51 points – led by Miami’s 70-13 rout of Bethune Cookman. 6-0 week vs. decidedly inferior opponents.
Money in the bank. Alabama gets a 20 point win over a soup can in the first of many, many double games for Scott LeDoux. A road trip to Austin next week, Scotty won’t be ducking that one. He sits in 4th with 47 points.
Guido managed a 6-0 week, also netting 47 points. Houston needed triple overtime to win his double game at UTSA – no cover there. Sconny opened with a shutout – and Clemson looked like a 1st round team in a solid win over the Wreck.
Zendejas’ SDSU Aztecs opened a new stadium with an L, losing to Arizona. Watch out Bison? He gets wins over UND and SDSU but can’t be thrilled with either Iowa or the Huskers. Georgia looked awesome vs. Oregon in his double game.
Meathead’s LSU Tigers were a missed extra point from OT with FSU. But Bah! He starts out 5-1. His Toledo’s pitched a shutout in a double win in one of 4 wins over FCS cupcakes.
It was divine inspiration a year ago. Eli Gemstone embraced the righteous path and it took him all the way to the promised land, the Champion of the Greatest Pool in the History of the World.
Alas, 2022 is a new year. A new light has dawned. A black light. The forces have swung with historic change. Never before have we seen a roster with the top 3 draft picks (Boise St, Notre Dame, Oregon) all week one underdogs. And all three were losers. Never before have we seen a roster with 4 – Yes 4! MAC teams. Tuesday night is coming.
Week I saw his Va Tech Hokies lose at ODU – his Purdue Boilermakers losing at home to Penn State. From first to worst.
It’s the antithesis of the Righteous Gemstone. Entering the pool…..
