With Rutgers upsetting USF Thursday, it seems a metaphysical certitude that this crazy season of underdog victories will continue. With that in mind, here are the games that could produce surprises:
Without appearing to suck up to my dear friend Blonde, I think Florida beats Kentucky. They've had a good week off to prepare, and from what I've read, have had strong practices during this period. By contrast, after a win like Kentucky had over LSU Saturday, it can be tough to have focused practices, which often leads to a disappointing letdown. I like Florida here to right its season with a win today.
I predicted last week that Oregon State could beat my Bears (full disclosure, this is my alma!) as I had been told that Longshore's injury was more serious than being reported. As such, I'm concerned that UCLA could also upset Cal today destroying what prior to last Saturday evening looked like a miracle season.
Colorado has a real shot at beating Kansas in Boulder today. I think the Buffalos are a much stronger team than their record shows, and now that the Huskers have fallen off the cliff, a win today makes their whole season thereby setting them up nicely for 2008.
Not much of an upset call here, but Illinois at home should beat Michigan.
*****Update: Florida beat Kentucky. UCLA beat Cal (sigh).

Go Boston!
October 20, 2007 - 10:58 ET by RJWily veteran Curt Shilling or 19 game winner Fausto Carmona?
Red Sox bats or Indian bats?
Red Sox bullpen or Indian bullpen?
On paper, it's a toss-up. Could be a very good game.
Maybe it was my imagination,
October 20, 2007 - 11:23 ET by dervish...but I thought I saw fear in Cleveland's eyes last game. I think they lost their chance to put the Sox away.
maybe, dervish
October 20, 2007 - 11:32 ET by RJ...they did seem chagrined (am I allowed to use that word when talking sports?) about having their ticket punched for a return trip to Boston.
Schilling's Thoughts On Tonight
October 20, 2007 - 16:24 ET by Del DolemonteI heard a radio interview this morning with Curt, and he was comparing tonight's game to the Bloody Sock game in 2004's ALCS. He noted that he has more pitches to use this year as compared to then.
Weather forecast for Fenway is nice-gametime temp will be in the 60s, not too shabby for late October!
Also, Del, Shilling said the '04 Yankee lineup was
October 20, 2007 - 17:59 ET by RJ"as good as I've ever faced." He didn't come out and say it, but I think he was hinting they were better than the Indians.
I'm glad his ego is still strong, but I hope his body is, too....and that he doesn't have to eat his words... ;^)
So, it's..
October 20, 2007 - 22:50 ET by dervishbottom of the sixth, and the BoSox are up 10-1. Schilling is looking stronger the longer he goes, and the fat lady is warming up.
Like my daddy always said: If you can do what you say you can do, you ain't bragging.
J.D. Drew !!!
October 21, 2007 - 02:35 ET by Del DolemonteTalk about a sleeper cell...
I hope I don't have to eat my words, but
October 21, 2007 - 10:46 ET by RJI'm thinking that between momentum, home field, the Indians depleted bull pen, the Sox fresh bull pen, the Indians anxiety, the Sox confidence.....Red Sox have a decided advantage tonight.
Now, if Dice-K, just doesn't implode again...
Agreed --
October 21, 2007 - 12:00 ET by dervish--- and did you witness the close by Gagne? He looked like he was in his old Dodger uniform. Looks like the planets are aligning nicely over Boston this month.
I am waiting for my Heels
October 20, 2007 - 11:18 ET by ricklailI am waiting for my Heels to breakout in football like the other basketball schools-KY, KU, Illinois, and Wake. Don’t look like it will happen this year.
Blonde I have the same gut feeling I had last week when KY played LSU. Sorry but the Gators are going to suffer a devastating loss. Have you been watching Gameday? Kentucky Fried Gator with Tebow Toast. Got to love it.
Stevie boy will be in the driver’s seat in the SEC east after today.
Phat Phil will stay out of the soup line for at least one more week with the Vols win over Bama.
I am leaning toward Auburn. Can’t stand them but I am leaning that way. I can’t stomach the thought of them playing in the SEC championship game. They are the best road team in the nation over the past 3 years.
The SEC is still the best conference in the nation even though they keep beating up on each other.
Who will lose the Worst in the state of Florida Bowl? FSU or Miami? Last year with Jeff Bowden as offensive coordinator FSU 29 PPG Avg. FIRE HIM This season 22 PPG. Bobby needs to go.
I have a feeling that the Spartans are going to hand the Buckeyes their heads. This is based on the fact that the # 1 ranked team hasn’t faired well at all.
The whole BSC is going to be in a mess after Va Tech beats BC on Thursday night.
Who will be the winner of the Buyout Bowl? A&M or Nebraska? Oh for the days of Tom Osborne.

Game Day
October 20, 2007 - 12:49 ET by ricklailI didn't understand that either. With about 15 minutes to go I was sure he was going to pick KY.
I just walked out to get the mail and was watching all the cars with Pirates flags go by. (Go to the end of my road, turn left and it is about a 25 miles straight shot to Downey-Ficklen at ECU.) If ECU beats NCSU they will have more ACC wins than DOOK, NCSU or Carolina. Could be the best team in this state if Wake falls flat.
Southern by birth, Tarheel by the grace of God!

Watching College Game Day now....hmmm.
Other games of interest (well, at least for me).
Canes vs. FSU....going w/the garnet & gold.
TN vs. Bama....picking Bama. Just because Fat Phil bugs me, and I go for the West team.

October 20, 2007 - 11:27 ET by dervishI think you're right about Bama, sadly -- Bama almost always plays above their ability against TN, and it always takes TN by surprise. But if the orange team that played Georgia shows up again, who knows?

Looks to me like there's an itinerant mercenary defensive unit in Tennessee, and Vanderbilt had dibs this week.
Sorry about that, dervish
October 20, 2007 - 20:48 ET by BlondeI really was referring to your post with my comment....what IS up with the Vols? Usually they scare me to death. But they've just kind of fallen off lately.
And while you're at the commentary...Vandy? And how irate is Steve'O tonite? That's a topic for a whole new thread, I'm thinking.
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
No offense taken...
October 20, 2007 - 21:02 ET by dervishAs I've said before, we have twice as many SEC wins as I expected at this point. Kaintuck is obviously for real, and Arkansas still has some grit. Now we can't even count on Vandy to keep us out of the cellar. Thank God for the division of the SEC a few years ago -- at least now we can't be worse than sixth, but I don't see better than a tie for fifth. And if we don't go to a bowl this year -- a real one, I mean -- well, let's just say the Knoxville realtors have Fulmer on speed dial.
I kinda thought the Cocks had been playing over their heads, but I never thought that Vandy would be the one to rain on them. Bet the Ol' Ball Coach went through a case of visors today. There's going to be a hot time on the practice field in Columbia this week, even if there's a foot of snow on the ground. And, unfortunately, that gives Stevie another reason to want to hang points on us next week; if we lose by less than 40 it will only be because our alumni pay Carolina to keep the point spread down.

October 20, 2007 - 11:49 ET by botganother team, he will make less than that, but managing the Yanks and dealing with the Stienbrenner klan requires a substantial additional sum.

October 21, 2007 - 18:09 ET by scamoramaHeartbreaking is the word.
Longshore's last two interceptions were the worst throws I've ever seen him make.
Just like the OSU game, they HAD it and let it slip. DAMN.
The Huskies sure looked good for 3 quarters, but, just like their earlier games, they don't have the depth to take the fight into the 4th. My attorney's cousin had an interception against Locker that killed one UW scoring threat.
Oh, well, I'm going to start rooting for an Oklahoma-LSU title game. Oh-how-I-Hate-Ohio State hasn't shown that they deserve it.

With the loss of Stevie's boys, looks like you are on your way to Atlanta for the SEC championship game. You really need to send a thank you note to Vandy.
I listened to the Bama broadcast on Sirius. You were right again. Phat Phil headed for the unemployement line. By the way, I'd rank Eli Gold just a bit below Larry Munson on play by play.
Even though I have been wrong all day, I am still sticking by my prediction that Auburn beats LSU.

October 20, 2007 - 18:43 ET by botgthey could have locked it up with a stop on 4th down but a 14 point lead with 8 minutes to go isn't too bad. Still having it on UKs 30 would be better than their own 13.

"The more I study science, the more I believe in God." Einstein
Bruce,
October 20, 2007 - 19:44 ET by BlondeThe way it works in the SEC....we'll probably have the same record as TN & KY....(presuming we win out)....so the tie becomes the head to head records.
So, if my beloved Gators win GA, SC, & Vandy (about an 85% thing right now)....we are the SEC East Champs. Big game goes to Florida by default, particularly since we usually lose to the SEC West champ during the regular season. (Revenge is sweet). After that...it's all luck.
Obviously, I don't think my Gators are National Championship contenders (I never did think a repeat was possible this year)....but with the way the upsets are going....anything is possible.
