This week's winners and commentary, brought to you in part by Powdermilk Biscuits. Heavens, they're tasty!

Georgia Tech defeats Miami: Good. As stated before, Miami exists to do one thing, and that is to sledgehammer Virginia Tech. Having done that, I don't care what else happens to them. The Georgia Tech defense did rather well tonight, and my (Red Sox) hat is off to them.

Virginia Tech defeats the University of Virginia: Who Cares. The outcome of this game was foreordained quite a while back. I listened to maybe forty-five seconds of it on the radio while driving around.

Clemson defeats South Carolina: Bad. I know that I called the Gamecocks to win this one in a previous post, but I started getting very uncomfortable once I saw such a low score. Your prognosticator had an unwelcome suspicion that Clemson would win a close game. Rats.

Boston College defeats Maryland: Good. Although I have nothing against the Terrapins, BC might do more with that win than Maryland.

North Carolina defeats Duke: Who Cares. In a couple of months, this is an important matchup. When in November and where there is no Coach K, this game isn't worth turning to, save for alumni.

North Carolina State defeats Middle Tennessee: Who Cares. I should hope that the Wolfpack could pull that off.

Louisiana State defeats Mississippi: Who Cares. Another predestined victory.

Auburn defeats Alabama: No Call. This appears to have been a good game---I didn't get to see any of it---and I'm glad to see the Tide having a good year. I'm certain that Auburn will continue to be a good program, and I wish the Tide the best in the near future.

Georgia defeats Kentucky: Who Cares. The surprise is that Kentucky scored.

Arkansas defeats Mississippi State: Ouch. The battle of the back markers is decisively concluded by the Razorbacks.

Vanderbilt defeats Tennessee: Fantastic It is a glorious---but highly strange---day in the SEC when Vanderbilt finishes better than Tennessee. Rocky Flop, baby! Between this and the Georgia Tech win, I have had two good games today.

Enh, not much else went on. I really need to get some sort of comprehensive system to watch more of these games. Curses and so forth for Herbstreit & Corso picking Clemson.

UPDATE: There is, after all, a reason why I'm not employed by ESPN or some other sports broadcast outlet for football coverage. That reason is that I'm not very good at it.

Yeeeeeeeeeeee haw.

The Vanderbilt Commodores defeat the Tennessee Volunteers 28-24 in Knoxville! Take that, Big Orange! Joyful joyful, we adore thee, dude who picked off Clauuuusen..."

Perhaps, in the spirit of Spurrier, you can't spell "OUT OF BOWL CONTENTION" without the letters "UT". Heh heh heh. We shall see.

Courtesy of Laurin Manning, we have a report announcing the cable broadcast of the South Carolina-Clemson game. A quick peek over at the South Carolina athletics site confirms this, with further detail coming from the Greenville News.

The game will be broadcast from 1900 hours on 19 November 2005 on ESPN2. For those of us not in the Palmetto State, coverage will switch to LSU-Mississippi after 1945 hours. Yahoo! will have an audio broadcast of the game here, with pre-game starting at 1730 hours.

I am of course for the ol' ball coach, and my amateur prognostications suggest that the Gamecocks might pull this one off. Analysis below the fold: more...

As far as I am concerned, there are two conferences in this country for NCAA Division I college football, namely the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Southeastern Conference. Thus, a brief recap of scores and a little worthless commentary.

Clemson beats the Florida State University: Good. I hate FSU.

Virginia beats Georgia Tech: Good. I've got nothing against the Ramblin' Wreck, but I'm from the Commonwealth of Virginia, and loyalty to Virginia demands a cheer.

Miami beats Wake Forest: Bad. I've loathed Miami for years and I thought about going to Wake Forest once. Miami serves to sledgehammer Virginia Tech, and that's a good thing. Other than that, I've got no use for the Hurricanes.

Maryland defeats North Carolina: Good. I've got zero ties to Maryland, but it's the ancestral home of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the Western Maryland Railway, so we like them.

The North Carolina State University leading Boston College: Bad. For some reason, I have a soft spot in my heart for BC. It might be because Clancy's Jack Ryan got his degree there.

UPDATE: Boston College defeats NCSU: Good.

South Carolina beats Florida: Good. I used to like Florida but Spurrier was the reason. Viva the ol' ball coach, and see here for the AP article on the game. I figure Laurin Manning will be happy.

Alabama loses to the Louisiana State University: Bad. I grew up learning to cheer for the Tide, since they used to dismantle Tennessee in the 1980s.

Arkansas defeats Mississippi: Who Cares. I don't have anything against Mississippi, but this appears to have been a battle of two back marker teams.

Kentucky beats Vanderbilt: Bad. I like Kentucky at some level---hey, I'm a sucker for Ashley Judd in a Kentucky hockey jersey---but I have to cheer for Vanderbilt. Why's that? They're usually an SEC doormat, and I like to see the doormats come forward.

Tennessee beats Memphis: Bad. I hate Tennessee, and laugh at their athletic misfortune. Congratulations, you guys beat an unranked lesser school by a grand total of four points.

Georgia leading Auburn: Bad. I have no particular love for either team, but the best picture for South Carolina involves a Georgia loss. Waaaar eagle(s), in that case.

UPDATE: Auburn defeats Georgia: Good, for the foregoing reasons.

MODERN EDIT: A lot of traffic comes my way looking for Ashley Judd in a Kentucky hockey jersey. We shall chum the Google waters in search of hits!
