Home School Fans Episode 8 and 9 (Part II) - Weeks 7 and 8, the Next Five

 Home School Fans Episode 8 and 9 - Weeks 7 and 8, the Next Five - Part II

Indiana, UVA, JMU, Texas A&M, Fresno State.

    Mostly a bunch of more mediocrity. At least the Wahoos won, and are staving off the toilet bowl. Let's start with them.

    Wahoos Beat the Wrambling Wreckers on a/the Thursday Night

    Virginia handles the underwhelming Georgia Tech Yellowjackets, 16-9. UVA is now ranked 83rd, rising 11 spots from the week before, and is now 4-3 heading into a game against the mostly forsaken Miami Hurricanes. I pick the Cavaliers. I hope they win. I love to see Miami lose! Don't tell Jones or Bill I said that. Or feel that. They can go away, those convicts! Struggling like my religious Cougars, at least this season. 

    But yeah, the Cavs are staying within the realm of respectability. Unlike...

    Aggies are Aghafied! 3-4 in mid-season...

    Texas A&M continues to disappoint, this time by getting beat down by: South Carolina. The Gamecocks have hit some good times. A guy I worked with in Camp Marmal was a So Car guy. Owen. I hope he is happy. Must be in his young thirties by now. They have Ole Miss next, and while not ranked as they were earlier in the season, they are still good enough to whip up on a supremely disappointing Aggie team. Money on the Rebs. But I would like A&M to win, regardless. CBS has them at 60. About the middle of the pack. Pretty poor.

    Dukes are Dinked, or Donked

    James Madison has been humbled and stumbled, and after their auspicious start at 5-0, have fallen on harder, more expected times. They are in their first year in the top tier, FBS! The last two, and first two, defeats were to Georgia Southern, by a touchdown, and then really handled by the Marshall Thundering Herd. (Marshall beat Notre Dame first weekend back in September, don't ya know).

     Next up are the Louisville Cardinals on November 5. I say the Cards will rout these Dukes, but the upstarts are still having an impressive season, just coming down to a more realistic start to Football Bowl Series ranks. Dukes still a respectable #44 in the CBS list of 131. Not bad for a transition year from the FCS realm.

    Fresno State Bulldogs? Worth It? Buying or Selling?

    The Bulldogs are on a mini-roll, beating the San Jose State Spartans by a Touchdown, then lambasting the New Mexico Lobos. They are only 3-4, and ranked 79th. They have the San Diego Aztecs next, and I think that the so Cal state school will take it from the San Joaquin Valley foes.

    Book it.

    Those are my seven, in two installments. Not so great.

    BYU has to beat the Pirates this Friday! Tomorrow night...

    C'mon, Cougars. Be hungry.

    WAIT! I forgot my IU Hoosiers... That will be Part III.
