Saturday College Football selections


Record at the blog: 1-1, -.10

There are two favorites that I believe the public have pumped up due to emotion and preseason rankings and both of them are plays today.

East Carolina +28

There is no doubt that the tragedy at VT was devastating and this campus, city, and country have gathered behind them to embrace the sadness and celebrate the recovery. We will prevail, we are Virginia Tech are some of the greatest words I will hear all week. Let’s talk football. If the hokies have a question mark it’s with the QB, and that goes for East Carolina who had a suspension for a DWI and will not have a starting QB. This game will be decided by defense and special teams. ECU has better special teams play than VT, don’t be stunned it’s the truth. They have a great FG kicker and in a game decided by defense a FG kicker is the difference and ECU has the edge. Look for a strong rushing attack and a defensive showing by ECU and VT will prevail but it will be close.

Western Michigan +23.5

There is not another team that is hyped higher than West Virginia and the Mountaineers. The hype is deserved with two Heisman candidates and a sift schedule they can go along ay. Western Michigan has other plans and this kind of television exposure will work wonders if they can make a good impression and that will come from the offense. The offense is deep and solid and will have enough fire power to keep this close.
