Week 2 Playoff Projections

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst

# 1 Florida State 1-0 (LW: Win: OKST F/37-31)
·        Many threw salt on Florida State for just beating a feisty Oklahoma State team by six points. Jameis Winston threw for 370 yards with just 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions but had a Heisman like 28 yard run touchdown late in the 3rd Quarter. The defense gave up 31 points when just last year the scoring defense for FSU was at 12.1 points per game, but look at it like this. Florida State is finding out what their reloaded team can do and will just continue to get better week in and week out. The Seminoles take on The Citadel this weekend followed by a bye week. Do not sleep on the defending National Champions.

#2 Alabama 1-0 (LW: Win: WVU F/33-23)
·        It is a new generation in a sense for the Crimson Tide this year. New Offensive Coordinator Lane Kiffin (Former Southern Cal Head Coach) will be calling plays for the great Nick Saban. Quarterback Blake Sims showed his inexperience very little in his first start. Once settled, Sims showed that he can distribute the ball to two horses in their backfield (Henry and Yeldon) but aslo to the nation’s best WR, Amari Cooper. You might say “Bama only won by 10 points”. Well 10 points is 2 possessions. Bama will continue to be a dominate team.

#3 Oregon 1-0 (LW: Win: SDAK F/62-13)
·        Nothing new with Oregon, still scheduling teams we have never heard of and putting 62 on the scoreboard. Don't not be fooled by this, Oregon is a VERY good football team with top ranked talent. Marcus Mariota, Heisman hopeful for the Ducks was 14/20 with 267 yards and 3 passing touchdowns. Watch out for perhaps the Ducks’ new star Byron Marshall. Marshall recorded 90 yards rushing with 8 receptions and 138 yards with 2 touchdowns, no big deal. Next week Oregon will take on Michigan State, let us all see how good the Ducks really are.

#4 Oklahoma (LW: Win: LT F/48-16)
·        Oklahoma did indeed dominate a sub-par Conference USA last weekend. Trevor Knight had okay numbers throwing 1 touchdown and 1 interception. The defense gave up only 54 yards rushing. Oklahoma is a pretty good team but definitely beatable in my eyes. The Sooners look to get better as they take on in-state rival Tulsa. I expect for Knight and Sterling Shepard to hook up more as the season continues.

First Four Out
Auburn (1-0)
Georgia (1-0)
Michigan St. (1-0)
Ohio St. (1-0)
National Championship Trophy

The NFL has Failed Colin Kaepernick.

Google Why hasn't any NFL team signed Colin Kaepernick yet or will they for that matter? Does he even deserve another chance ? It's hard to make a case for him as of late, I mean in his last 24 starts he is just 4-20 which is awful to say the least. But lets be honest the San Fransico 4'9ers are an awful organization that was doomed the day they let Jim Harbaugh walk out the door. He was put into a position to fail as a quarterback over the past 2 seasons. So yes this man deserves another shot in the NFL. Since 1995 the 4'9ers have reached one Super Bowl and guess who was the quarterback? That's right Kaep!! He has 72 career touchdowns to just 30 interceptions, 2300 career rushing yards. In his first career post season game he totaled 444 total yards of offense with 4 touchdowns. This guy is a stud and you mean to tell me he can't even be a back up? Its not what's happening on the field because guys like Jay Cutler, Nick Foles, Blaine Gabbert, keeping f

Warriors Clinch Number 1 Seed

By -
Last night the Golden State Warriors clinched their 3rd consecutive number 1 seed in the western conference playoffs with a 12 0-111 victory over the Phoenix Suns.  Stephen Curry finished the game 8-13 from 3-point range on the way to 43 points and 11 assist. Klay Thompson chipped in 22 points as the Warriors win their 13th straight game. During the Warriors winning streak Stephen Curry is 26.3 points and assist per game and shooting 46% from the 3-point line. As a team Golden State has figured out how to play at a high level despite losing their leading scorer Kevin Durant a little over a month ago. Losers of 4 out of their first 6 games without KD, the Warriors average margin of victory during their the streak is 15.3 points per game. Also with the win, Golden State become the 1st NBA team to win 65 games for 3 straight seasons. The Warriors have been the best team in the NBA since Steve Kerr took over 2 seasons ago. After adjusting to the Durant injury this team looks unbeatable

Tony Romo Retires

By -
ESPN reports this morning that Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboy starting quarterback will announce his retirement to pursue a career in broadcasting. Last season Romo's season was cut short due to a compressed fracture in the L1 vertebrae. While sidelined, Rookie Dak Prescott led Dallas to a 13-3 record, best since the 2007 season. Rumors swirled about trading Romo to the Texans, Broncos and a couple of more team. Romo will become the 5th lead commentator for CBS after taking Phill Simms spot. Don't think for a second this is a decision based on Tony's ability to still play football. He has plenty of game left. Romo would start in Denver, Houston, and Cleveland right now. Being in this position at CBS is a once in a lifetime opportunity. At 36 years old, and multiple season-ending injuries, it was time to think about life after football. Tony Romo is charismatic, well-spoken and will be a great addition to the CBS family.
