Mindless Dribble
Happy Opening Night of college football everyone! The last of the big conferences. It’s Pac-12 day!
Predictions:
Mike Leach and Rich Rod may be well known coaches (for both good and bad reasons) but this season will produce nothing but mediocre records
Somebody needs to stand out of the crowd in the south besides USC and I think that one will be Utah
The only thing the game on November 3 will do is let us know where USC and Oregon will play the Pac-12 Championship, and even that will not matter much.
Enough talk! Here are the predictions:
NORTH
OREGON 11-1 (8-1)
STANFORD 9-3 (6-3)
WASHINGTON 7-5 (5-4)
CAL 7-5 (5-4)
OREGON STATE 4-8 (3-6)
WASHINGTON STATE 4-8 (3-6)
SOUTH
USC 12-0 (9-0)
UTAH 8-4 (4-4)
UCLA 6-6 (4-5)
ARIZONA 6-6 (4-5)
ARIZONA STATE 4-8 (3-6)
COLORADO 3-9 (0-9)
Pac-12 Championship Oregon over USC
(Please forward all complaints here)
That does it for all the conference previews. Happy college football season everyone.
Its Big XII Day here on Mindless Dribble
Statements about this conference:
It won’t be a complete fall but Oklahoma State will need a year to recover losing Weeden and Blackmon
If you thought the Cowboys would struggle without them wait until you see how Baylor does without RGIII
West Virginia and TCU will fit in just fine first year with the Big XII
If Oklahoma can beat OSU in Stillwater, they can beat anybody
With that said here are the predictions
OKLAHOMA 12-0 (9-0)
TEXAS 9-3 (6-3)
OKLAHOMA STATE 9-3 (6-3)
TCU 8-4 (5-4)
WEST VIRGINIA 8-4 (5-4)
BAYLOR 7-5 (4-5)
KANSAS STATE 5-7 (3-6)
TEXAS TECH 5-7 (2-7)
IOWA STATE 4-8 (2-7)
KANSAS 3-9 (0-9)
One BCS Conference left people I know you’re as excited as I am
Good News Everyone It’s SEC Day!
Predictions:
Auburn will make sure Alabama has no chance of getting another All-SEC championship game
Welcome to the SEC Missouri and A&M!!! Trust me you are not going to like it this year.
Before the Bobby Petrino debacle I considered Arkansas a contender. Now nothing more than an Outback Bowl team
Don’t sleep on the SEC East. Georgia may be a surprise in the title game.
With that said here are the records for this season
WEST
LSU 12-0 (8-0)
ALABAMA 11-2 (6-2)
AUBURN 8-4 (5-3)
ARKANSAS 8-4 (4-4)
MISSISSIPPI STATE 8-4 (4-4)
TEXAS A&M 6-6 (2-6)
OLE MISS 3-9 (0-8)

TENNESSEE 6-6 (3-5)
MISSOURI 6-6 (2-6)
VANDERBILT 5-7 (2-6)
KENTUCKY 3-8 (0-8)
SEC Championship
LSU over Georgia
Next up the Big Ten
Predictions:
The Legends division Champion will be decided on Oct. 20 when Michigan host Michigan State.
The Leaders division has already been decided. Wisconsin can book tickets to Indy. Just don’t buy the Big 10 Champion gear.
Penn State will need to adopt the Ohio State method of inviting non-conference cupcakes to play at home is they want any chance of a winning record any time soon.
Jokes aside Ohio State will bounce back under Urban. Nothing too big but still a better year than last year.
Now for the records:
LEGENDS:
MICHIGAN 11-1 (8-0)
MICHIGAN ST 10-2 (6-2)
NEBRASKA 9-3 (5-3)
NORTHWESTERN 8-4 (4-4)
IOWA 8-4 (4-4)
MINNESOTA 5-7 (1-7)
LEADERS:
WISCONSIN 11-1 (7-1)
OHIO STATE 8-4 (4-4)
ILLINOIS 8-4 (4-4)
PURDUE 7-5 (4-4)
PENN STATE 4-8 (2-6)
INDIANA 3-9 (0-8)
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP:
MICHIGAN OVER WISCONSIN
ACC Day today
Predictions:
Virginia Tech will beat Florida State on the thursday night game in Blacksburg, but not in the ACC title game in Charlotte
Despite the postseason ban North Carolina will enjoy ruining a couple teams seasons.
It is funny how quick the world forgot about the Nevin Shapiro issues with everything else that happened. But this year’s performance will remind everyone.
With that said here are the records:
ATLANTIC
FSU 11-1 (7-1)
CLEMSON 9-3 (6-2)
NC ST 9-3 (5-3)
WF 7-5 (4-4)
BC 3-9 (1-7)
MD 1-11 (0-8)
COASTAL
VT 10-1 (7-1)
GT 9-3 (6-2)
UNC 8-4 (5-3)
VIRGINIA 7-5 (4-4)
MIA 5-7 (3-5)
DUKE 3-9 (0-8)
ACC Title game: Florida State over Virginia Tech
With college football starting up on thursday I wanted to give my predictions, expectations, and ideas that will never happen. First the Big East
3 bold statements:
1.) This will be the last year it is called the Big East. Next year its the Big all over the country (kidding)
2.) Give Syracuse credit for playing a tough non-conference schedule, (Northwestern, USC, at Missouri, at Minnesota) but it will only hurt them in the record book.
3.) despite losing key players and a head coach this will still be a solid season for Rutgers.
4.) Cincinnati also will not be the victim of a rebuilding year despite what most people think.
With that in mind my predictions for the Big East season
1.) Louisville 9-3 (5-2)
2.) Pitt 8-4 (5-2)
3.) Rutgers 8-4 (4-3)
4.) Cincinnati 8-4 (4-3)
5.) UConn 6-6 (3-4)
6.) Syracuse 4-8 (3-4)
7.) USF 4-8 (2-5)
8.) Temple 4-7 (2-5)
more conferences to come later
Just Breathe. Two words that mean so much
Its amazing how in the matter of a day or so my life can go from several negative what-ifs to positive what-ifs. Now all I have to do is go out of my way to make sure those positive what-ifs stat positive, and maybe add some more positives without including any negatives. I’m awful at science can this be done?
Happy Birthday to an amazing friend, and an amazing person, Charles Saulters. today would be his 28th birthday. There is still not a day that passes by that I do not think of him or miss him. I just want to say Happy Birthday and that I love you buddy.
