WILBUR PICKS


















For Carl Montgomery............

VANDY +4

BAMA +5

AUBURN OVER 48
TENNESSEE -7

NC STATE +12

UTAH +3.5

Vandy and Utah win outright. Bama and NC State cover back door. Auburn/LaMo hit the over.

Stargazers

How can Auburn be a top 10 team and bammer isn't even ranked in one of the polls????

Check out these star rankings for all you star gazers...

Auburn Offense 1st team = 2.8 star average per position
bammer offense 1st team = 3.45 star average per position

Auburn Offense 2nd team = 3.60 star average per position
bammer offense 2nd team = 3.45 star average again per position

Auburn 2 deep offense = 3.27 stars per position
bammer 2 deep offense = 3.45 stars per position


Now lets take a look at the defenses...

Auburn 1st team defense = 3.27 stars per position
bammer 1st team defense = 3.27 stars per position (push)

Auburn 2nd team defense = 3.00 stars per position
bammer 2nd team defense = 3.54 stars per position

Now for a look at the total star average for the 1st team, 2nd team, and the total 2 deep at both schools. O&D is offense and defense...

Auburn 1st team O&D = 3.03 stars per position
bammer 1st team O&D = 3.36 stars per position

Auburn 2nd team O&D = 3.30 stars per position
bammer 2nd team O&D = 3.50 stars per position

Auburn total 2 deep O&D = 3.16 stars per position
bammer total 2 deep O&D = 3.43 stars per position


Now I know you bammers like to cry about probation and any other excuse you can think of. What about the upper classmen on each team or the freshmen playing? Let's take a look.


Auburn's 2 deep breaks down like this per class...

FRHS = 4
RFR = 1
SO = 17
JR = 12
SR = 10

Now let's look at good ole bammer...

FRHS = 9
FRRS = 1
SO = 9
JR = 17
SR = 8

Auburn has 22 JRs and SRs while ole bammer has 25. So how can a team that is so much better on paper suck so bad? Bama has more experience and a much higher star ranking on their 2 deep. Why are they ranked so low and not even ranked in one poll? If I was Saban, I would sure hang my hat on this season. There is no excuse for him to not win now. It could get ugly if he doesn't produce with all the talent he has on his team. If you believe in stars that is....

Kudos to Weagle747 for the great info.

GAME WEEK--International Symbol for Gay

Monday morning of game week has arrived. Thursday night kicks off with Georgia Tech, Vandy and South Carolina all starting. Then, Saturday, the festivities truly begin. I will be working from home Friday as I see it as a national holiday. Nothing better than kicking off college football on a holiday weekend.



If you had not already seen, Atlanta has a new symbol. They call it the "International Symbol for Gay" after the Olympic Games of 1996 and the insanely high Elton John population intown. Their fight song is Madonna....doesn't matter which particular song, just Madonna.

Word out of Athens is that NFL superagent Drew Rosenhaus has already purchased KnoMo a sweet, little Beemer M3. Word also stated that Mark Richt had it prompty returned. No doubt he will be in the NFL this year....if Stafford can complete at least 60% of his passes, he will be there also.

Wilbur Picks later in the week.........

GUESSTIMATOR

What other way to dive into the first week of August than with college football practices kicking off over the weekend than with my best guesstimate of how teams stack going into the season. Take it away, Jess.























TOP 25

1. Florida--I think they get by UGA in Jax if defense grows up but explosive offense will carry team til they do.

2. Georgia--Need Stafford to achieve at least 60% passing and for WR's to show up. MoMass the Terrorist is completely overrated...almost as much as Fred Gibson. Defense could be great with Rennie and 9 returning starters.


3. USC--Defense is tops...new QB surrounded by inexperience with only 4 returning starters raises questions. Winner of September 13 Ohio State matchup will be in driver's seat for a slot in Miami.


4. Oklahoma--Best young QB in nation but can they win a big game???


5. LSU--Best offensive and defensive line combo in game today. All new QB has to do is not lose the game to win with all the surrounding talent.

6. Ohio State--Might be the best Buckeye team...ever...can they win a big game? Big Ten games do not count.


7. Texas Tech--Prolific offense...can defense hang in there?


8. Auburn--Defense has a chance to be great...will the Spread Eagle fly in East LA?


9. Texas--I see Texas as the loser of the Red River Shootout with Okie and Texas Tech.


10. Tennessee--The Vols will be a lot better than people think.


11. Missouri--Heisman candidate and Mr. Everything...prolly represent the North in the CG.


12. Clemson--Class of ACC talent wise but never seem to live up to expectations.


13. BYU--Pass happy all the way to the BCS.....if they get by Utah.


14. Virginia Tech--Completely rebuilding the defense...Beamer and Foster are two of the best in the game and will earn their paychecks this year.


15. West Virginia--You cannot tell me they are better than last year with a straight face. It will be the Pat White Noel Devine show until the skinny ass White gets knocked out again.


16. Arizona State--Are they ready to make a run at USC this year? Can hot head Rudy keep his head and can the O-Line protect him.

17. South Carolina--Fighting Spurriers will be great on defense and it will allow the offense to play catch up.

18. Mississippi State--Fighting Crooms are on the rise.

19. Wisconsin--Cheeseheads are paying more attention to Farve.

20. Oregon--Very talented and will make a run.....gotta have plenty of quarterbacks.

21. Wake Forest--Fratty Riley Skinner is back and Jim Grobe is one of the best in the game.


22. Michigan--Lost all time leading rusher, passer and the first pick in the draft. Growing pains but they will beat Ohio State within 3 years.

23. South Florida--Most of the team returns and maybe the second best team in the state. Ouch.


24. Florida State--Gotta catch USF.


25. Nebraska--Pelini will be huge...big improvement this year.
