Week 4 CFB Playoff Predictions

Ed Wilkins | College Football Analyst

# 1 Florida State 2-0 (LW:Bye-Week)


·    Last week the Seminoles did not have a game and took their bye-week to prepare for #22 Clemson as they come into Tallahassee. Look for Winston and Seminoles to prove not only their dominance in the conference but also nationally.

#2 Oregon 3-0 (LW: Win: WYO F/48-14)


·      At the end of the 1st quarter, Wyoming was up on Oregon 7-0. The Ducks were sluggish at first but that did not stop them from scoring 48 points. Mariota completed 19 of 23 passes with two touchdowns through the air. Mariota also had 71 yards rushing with two touchdowns on the ground. While at Oregon, Mariota has thrown for 71 touchdowns which is a school record. The Ducks are definitely a fan favorite to make it to the College Football Playoffs. Oregon starts Pac-12 play as they go to Washington State to play the Cougars for their first road test.

#3 Alabama 3-0 (LW: Win: USM F/52-12)


·    The Blake Sims and Jake Coker saga continues as Bama still does not have a solidified number one quarterback. Sims was 12-17 with 168 yards passing and 2 passing touchdowns. The nation’s best receiver Amari Cooper recorded 8 receptions on 135 yards and 1 touchdown. Defensively The Tide dominated the offensive line as they gave up only 56 yards rushing. Alabama has won their last 25 out of 27 games. Alabama opens up conference play at home against Florida. The Tide has won 22 straight SEC openers, last time these two met Alabama won 38-10.

#4 Oklahoma (LW: Win: Tenn F/34-10)


·      So this Trevor Knight kid is pretty good! Knight threw for 308 yards with 1 touchdown, he also ran for touchdown. The Sooners best receiver Sterling Shepard had 8 receptions with 109 yards. The win was not as dramatic as the Sugar Bowl win over Alabama but it was dominate over yet another SEC team. Bob Stoops said he was impressed and proud the way his team played. The Sooners defense looked very good against the young and talented athletes of Tennessee. The Sooners gave up 313 yards but forced 3 turnovers. Oklahoma only gives up 11 points per game. The Sooners have to travel to a sneaky West Virginia Mountaineer team  as they begin Big 12 play. Upset alert perhaps?

First Four Out

1. Auburn 2-0
2. Texas A&M 3-0
3. Baylor 3-0

4. LSU 3-0

The SportsPACK NBA Regular Season Awards

basketballsocietyonline.com MVP: Russell Westbrook Oklahoma City Thunder This year's MVP race has been the closest it's been in recent memory. With 5 legit candidates, anyone of them is well deserving of the award but my choice is Westbrook. Not only did he break a record I thought would never be broken with 42 triple-doubles, but after losing 3 out of their top 5 scorers, Westbrook still has the Thunder in the playoffs as a 6th seed and lead the NBA in scoring. James Harden had an outstanding season but has a lot more help in Houston than Westbrook has in OKC, which was one of my biggest deciding factors. warriorsworld.net Defensive Player of the Year: Draymond Green Golden State Warriors After coming in 2nd in DPOY voting 2 seasons in a row Draymond Green final wins the award. Averaging 2 steals a game, Draymond is tied with Wizards point guard John Wall for 1st in the NBA. Green can guard all positions effectively and is the anchor for a Golden State defense that ...

Players Need Rest

By -
The media, fans of the NBA and legends of the game are getting upset at coaches resting star players throughout the season. I understand that the fans want to see their favorite player every night but in order to get peak performance out of your favorite players they need rest. NBA players more now than ever have a very demanding schedule on and off the court. Between traveling for games, having multiple endorsement deals and playing on back to back nights; coaches believe that its only fair to gave the players a night off. Most of the players that get nights off usually play through multiple injuries all the time so we shouldn't complain much. I know NBA tickets are not cheap and you expect to see the stars when you buy that ticket but that's the risk you take when you make your purchase. The players and coaches have to put their organization's needs first. None of these players are saying they need rest but it is much appreciated.
