Willard's Winners Week 7...

Well gang, I am sorry for leaving you hanging out in the wind with no prognostications. I was at home, having so much fun that I simply couldn't break away to call Willard.

Willard is once again depressed over Georgia's loss to Tennessee this weekend. A few minutes after the loss, I composed myself, and called Willard's best buddy Ray Earl to offer Willard some comfort, and to keep him from doing something drastic. Luckily Ray Earl got to Willard's house just before Willard made it to the truck with his spray paint. Oh, the mess he would have made.

Willard's Winners for Week 7 are...

Virginia Tech v. Boston College: The Hokie Birds of Blacksburgh will invade Beantown this Thursday. Coach Beamer's Boys have had a tough season, and will find
Boston inhospitable. The Beantown Birds will take aim at the Mountain Turkeys, but their aim will be slightly off. Willard's Winner... Virginia Tech


Minnesota v. Wisconsin: Willard tried hard to take this game seriously. He realizes that there are people who really like these two teams, and there are some that think this is real football. Willard finally broke down and declared his winner. Willard's Winner... Whoever does not have to watch this game!

Ole Miss v. Alabama: The Rebels of Oxford will hop on I-20 and head East to the wide spot in the road called Tuscaloosa looking to fill their bellies on Elephant stew. Coach Orgeron's sharpshooters will take aim, but will find Shula's Crimson Pachyderms tough to bring down. Willard's Winner...Alabama

Michigan v. Penn St.: Coach Carr's Wolverines will scamper into Happy Valley looking for an easy victory. They will find out that the Nittany Lions still have a bit of a bite, but Willard says that the Wolverines will still hear Hail to the Victors after the final gun. Willard's Winner... Michigan.

Maryland v. Virginia: The Turtles will meander into Charlottesville for a tangle with the Queen's guardians. Willard said that though the rest of the world may not think much of either of these teams, this should be a great game to watch. Willard's Winner... Beware of the Turtles...Maryland.

Florida v. Auburn: In the words of Keith Jackson...WHOA NELLIE! This one should be a Donnybrook! Coach Urban Mayer will lead his lizards to the "prettiest little village on the plain" to take on Coach Tuberville's War Eagles. After last weeks debacle, Tuberville's Tigers will be fightin'mad and ready to defend their home. The Auburn Tigers will slash and gnaw on the Thunder lizard's tails, and send them back to their primordial ooze depressed. Willard's Winner... Auburn.
(Aside...This is a little depressing. You see because Auburn will beat Florida this weekend, then no team from the SEC will play for a National Championship. However, USC, who plays 2 ranked teams a year will play in their 3rd in 3 years. Please oh please, somebody convince the NCAA to go to a playoff!)

Vanderbuilt v. Georgia: The Commodores will sail up the Oconee River looking to sink the Bulldog faithfull. Joe T III and the rest of the Dawgs will be guarding the Junkyard, and will take a Bulldog bite out of Vandy. Willard's Winner... Georgia.

I thank Willard for picking AU, and I hope he got this one right, but I do have some doubt :(

I am with you on the idea of a playoff. It frustrates the heck out of me that there are a few of the ranked teams that play no one. Anyway, I won't get myself started. Thankfully, I have an off week this week and will be able to watch football without having a heart attack concerning my jackets. I do think the SEC is the most talented conference (ACC getting better), so I do think you guys are getting robbed.
