Hobbitcore's College Football Corner (Week 14: RIVALRY WEEK)

That's right, ladies in gentlemen, it's the second MOOOST WONDERFUL WEEEEEK OF THE YEEEAR! (next to Bowl Week, which is slowly approaching) So, let's not waste any time! Last Week Overall: 2-3 Upsets: 1-3 Season Overall: 51-19 Upsets: 11-10 12:00pm -- #2 Florida State @ Florida -- ESPN This is easily my favorite season in Gator history. And it's not getting any better today. FSU is favored by 28.5 and I would take them with the spread in a heartbeat. If they don't hang at least half a hundred on the Gators, the Buckeyes should play for the national title. Hobbitcore sez: Florida State 12:00pm -- #3 Ohio State @ Michigan -- ABC On paper, this one looks like a blowout too but I'm not sure the Buckeyes are the world-beaters everyone thinks they are and the Big House is always rocking for the biggest game of the year. This one could be closer than the experts think, at least for a while. I'm not ready to wake up the Upset Hobbit but he did...

Another week, another upset or two I wish I had pulled the trigger on. And another embarrassing Canes loss. This has been a bit of a rough week for me and I've been pretty busy so I'm sure glad it's Saturday and I know I can't let my four or five adoring fans down! Last Week Overall: 2-2 Upsets: 1-1 Season Overall: 49-16 Upsets: 10-7 3:30pm -- #12 Texas A&M @ #22 LSU -- CBS (UPSET ALERT) This is a really tough pick. Two high powered offenses facing inconsistent defenses. LSU is 31-2 at home in the last five years (and favored by 5, surprisingly) but Johnny Manziel is undefeated on the road in his career. It's heart v. head again--Upset Hobbit's heart is telling him Johnny Football will go out with something to prove in the Heisman race and break out to lead his team to victory but his head is saying that LSU is just too tough at home and too balanced on offense for A&M's defense. We've been going head way too often. This week, w...

Last Week: 6-1 Overall: 13-2 Upsets Last Week: 1-0 Upsets Overall: 3-1 HEADLINES -IT'S GREAT...TO BE...A MIAMI HURRICANE! IT'S GREAT...TO BE...A MIAMI HURRICANE!

IT'S GREAT...TO BE...A MIAMI HURRICANE! IT'S GREAT...TO BE...A MIAMI HURRICANE! IT'S GREAT...TO BE...A MIAMI HURRICANE! -Honestly, if you would have asked me if I'd rather see the Miami Heat three-peat or the 'Canes beat the Gators, I would have had to think about it.  Not a lot of people really get that this is even a rivalry or why (particularly Gator fans who think the pre-Tebow college football universe is basically BCE and have the historical context of the common pet dog) but for those of us that KNOW our history, this rival is bigger than FSU--or ...
