Sully’s 4 Pack of Winners

Clemson 7-0 @ Notre Dame 6-0; TV: 6:30 / NBC; Favorite: Clemson -5! This is the best game of 2020 and the best game in the ACC since 2013, when a 6-0 FSU traveled to a 6-0 Clemson. The Seminoles blasted the Tigers, 51-14, on their way to a 14-0 season & the national championship! Clemson finished 11-2 that year! The Irish are 1-3 all-time vs Clemson. their only win vs the Tigers was in 1977, 21-17, a year ND won the National Championship. Clemson’s last win vs the Fighting Irish was in 2018, 30-3, a year Clemson won the National Championship. ND comes into the game with the nation’s longest winning streak, 12 straight and 22 wins in a row at home! Clemson counters with 14 straight wins on the road and 28 consecutive wins in ACC play! Sully says: take the Irish an the 5 points in this one!

Minnesota 0-2 @ Illinois 0-2; TV: 2:30 / BTN; Favorite: Minnesota -8. The Gophers have beaten the Illini 7 of the last 10, including a, 40-17, pounding in 2019. Minnesota lost to Michigan in their opener, 49-24 and were outscored by Maryland in their 2nd game, 45-44. Illinois opened against Wisconsin, losing 45-7 and then, played well vs Purdue, before falling, 31-24! MN QB, Tanner Morgan, RB, Mo Ibrahim, and WR’s Rashad Bateman & Chris Autman-Bell overwhelm a struggling U of I defense! Sully says: take the Gophers and give the Illini the 8 points!

Georgia 4-1 vs Florida 3-1; TV: 2:30 / CBS; Favorite: The Dawgs -4! This game is played every year in Jacksonville, FL & referred to as the World’s largest Outdoor Cocktail Party! Since 2009, UGA has won 6 games, while the Gators have won 5! That said, the Dawgs have won 3 straight, by an average of 20 points. Everyone is talking about Georgia’s Defense & Florida’s Offense, I’m not; I am looking at the game with a mirror’s view. Georgia Offense & Florida’s Defense; UGA’s O has been average while the Gator’s Defense is bad. Sully Says: take that ugly bull dog and give that Gator the 4 points!

Arizona State 0-0 @ USC 0-0; TV: 11:00 / FOX; Favorite: USC -10.5! This is week 1 for the PAC 12 and a great game to kick-off their 2020 season. The Trojans have beaten Sun Devils 4 of the last 5 games, however, the teams split the last 2 games, ASU won in 2018, 38-35 while SC won in 2019, 32-26. The Devils return the starting QB, Jayden Daniels, but only 3 other starters on offense. Their O-line was hard hit by departures, losing 3 of its starting 5! SC returns 17 starters for 2020, 8 on offense & 9 on defense. On O the Trojans return one of the best QB in the country, Kedon Slovis, a 1000 yard plus receiver, Amon Ra Saint-Brown, and all 5 of their top RB’s! SC’s D-line is rated as the 2nd best in the PAC-12, behind only Oregon and their secondary returns 7 of 8 in their 2019 rotation! Sully Says: take SC and give ASU the -10-5 points.

MAC Results in their Week One

http://sullyscollegefootballpage.com/Football_Stats/Games_Listings.cfmh

The above wed address will take you to sully’s college football page’s Game List! Once there click on the Game Date box, and a calendar will drop down, The date you want is 11/4, simply point & click, and it will take you to the MAC results.

Western Michigan 58 Akron 13: Phil Steele’s Review has the Broncos finishing 3rd in the West Division and Akron (Zips) finishing 5th is the East. WM took a 30-13 halftime lead and then outscored the Zips 28-0 in the 2nd half! The Broncos ran a balanced attack, rushing for 218 yards and passing for 266 yards! The Zips ran & passed for an anemic, 256 total yards!

Kent 27 Eastern Michigan 23: The Golden Flashes are picked (Phil Steele’s Review) 4th in the East Division, while EMU is picked 5th in the West! K-State’s run game was the difference in this MAC battle, holding the Eagles to a merger 61 yards rushing, while running the ball for 212 yards.

Buffalo 49 NIU 30: The Bulls were outgained by the NIU Huskies, 397 to 357, out performed on 3rd down conversions (36% to 33%) and penalized more in this win? That said, they won the turnover battle, 5 to 2! A plus 3 is a 42 point swing (the 21 you can now get & the 21 they can’t) enough said!

Central Michigan 30 Ohio 27: The Chippewas kicked a FG with 5:46 to play in the 4th quarter and then held off the Bobcats to secure the win. CM won the turnover battle 2-0, out gained Ohio, 427 to 345, and dominated possession time, 34 minutes to 25.

Miami OH 38 Ball State 31: One of the best games of the night. With the game tied @ 31, Miami’s DC, Spence Nowinsky’s defense intercepted a pass that set up the Redhawks winning score. A tuff loss for Ball State. The Cardinals outgained Miami 478 to 422, converted 60% of the time on 3rd down, and rushed the ball for over 300 yards! The lesson here is that the Miami’s defense kept stepping up and as a result, made the play at the end that won the game! Way to go Spence!

Toledo 38 Bowling Green 3: The Rockets are picked to win the West Division and are off to a good start. They ran over, through, & around Bowling Green’s D to the tune of 310 yards, were 11 of 20 on 3rd down (55%), & held BG offense to 267 total yards and 3 points!

Hope you had a chance to watch the games!

Week 9 Results

http://sullyscollegefootballpage.com/Football_Stats/Games_Listings.cfm

For those of you who are new to Sully’s College Football Page, please note! To view last weeks results; click on the web address above and it will take you to our Game Page, once there, click in the Game Date Box. A calendar will drop down, last week’s games were played on, 10/29, 30, & the 31st. Simply point and click on any of the above dates, hit search, and the games will present themselves!

Use the View Game Tab on the right end of the box score and it will show you a comparison of the two teams that played last week. What the numbers should have looked like based on the pre-game stats, and then, what actually happened in the Historical data. The Historical Data shows the number of times these teams have met on the Grid Iron since 2009, who won, & a statistical readout of the game. Check it out!

The site predicted that OSU would beat PSU, 41-26 (the Bucks actually won 38-25), the numbers indicated that Ohio State would convert 52.4% of their attempts on 3rd down, (it was actually 55%), and win the Turnover battle by 1, (that is exactly what happened, PSU 1 OSU 0)! Like I said check out the View Game Tab and you can do this for all games played in week 10!

One final note: You cannot use this feature on the day of the game!

Some games of note in week 9:

Michigan State shocked Michigan, 27-24, in the Big House.

Northwestern, who finished last in the B-10 West Division in 2019, beat Iowa, 21-20, and is now 2-0 in 2020! Way to go Fitz!

Texas knocked Oklahoma State from the unbeaten ranks, 41-34, in OT. The B-12, for all intent & purpose, is out of the CFP!

Auburn slobber-knocked the defending national champs, LSU, 48-11, in what is becoming a theme in 2020, as the Tigers once feared defense is no where to be found.

Clemson survived a fired up Boston College, 34-28, playing w/o their generational QB, Trevor Lawrence.

Virginia upset, Mack Brown & North Carolina, in Charlottesville, 44-41. This was UNC 2nd loss of 2020 and may have eliminated the Heels’ from the ACC championship game.

Cincinnati, who lost twice to Memphis in 2019, (regular season meeting & the AAC Championship game), had their revenge, whippin’ the Tigers, 49-10, and are now in the American Conference drivers seat!

Ohio State dominated Penn State @ State College, 38-25, holding the Lions to 44 yards rushing and 3 of 9 on 3rd down.

Sully’s Four Pack of Winners

Michigan State +25 @ Michigan: The Wolverines have beaten Spartans only once, since 2009, by more than 25 points, last year (2019), 44-10. Michigan beat a depleted Minnesota team in week one, 49-24, while MSU, despite 7 turnovers, battled Rutgers to a 38-27 loss! Seven TO’s is a 98 point swing, the 49 the Spartans could not get and the 49 that Scarlet Knights could get, as a result of forcing 7 turnovers. The Spartans will take better care of the ball and while they will not win straight up, they will, with the 25 points! Sully says: take MSU and the 25 points, the Wolves will win, but not cover!

Notre Dame -18 @ Georgia Tech: The Irish are 5-0 and are a week in front of the biggest regular season game (Clemson) they have played since their 1993, showdown win over Florida State! ND’s focus will be high knowing what is at stake the following week, The Irish will start fast and finish strong! Sully says: take ND and give the Ramblin Wreck the 18 points!

Purdue -4.5 @ Illinois: Purdue is coming off a major win over Iowa, 24-21, in Iowa City. Illinois was slobber-knocked by Wisconsin, 45-7, in Madison! The Boilers all American, WR Rondale Moore’s playing status, for Saturday, is unknown? Sully Says: whether Moore plays or not, it is not relevant, take the Boilermakers and give the Illini the 4.5 points!

Central Florida -3 @ Houston: UCF has beaten the Cougars 5 of the last 7 games that these teams have played and in each of these wins, the Knights have covered the 3 points! Sully says: give Houston the 3 points and take UCF!

Last Week Games & Results

http://sullyscollegefootballpage.com/Football_Stats/Games_Listings.cfm

Use the address above to go to sullyscollegefootballpage.com. This address will take you to our Game List Page. Last week’s games were played on 10/21st. 22, 23 & 24!

Some interesting results were:

  • Notre Dame 45 Pitt 3: Many predicted that the Panthers would upset the Irish and most thought the game would be close. No one envisioned a 42 point romp by the Irish.
  • Northwestern 43 Maryland 3: Maryland recruits better than Wisconsin, let alone NW. The Terrapins are the 29th best recruiting program in the FBS, while Bucky is ranked 31st! Northwestern has the 51st best roster in college football and a 40 point win here was shocking! http://sullyscollegefootballpage.com/content.cfm?PageID=14
  • Rutgers 38 Michigan State 27: The Scarlet Knights had not won a B-10 game since a, 34-27. win over Maryland, on 11/04/17! The Knights had lost 21 straight games in B-10 play. Their 11 point victory over MSU and the 7 turnovers they forced against the Spartans was a great well come back celebration for the program & Coach Schiano!
  • Indiana 36 PSU 35 (OT): The biggest ‘say what’ of the day was the Hoosiers win, @ home, vs the Nittany Lions. Everyone was talking about the massive showdown, in the B-10, in week 2, OSU @ PSU. Nobody was talking about a Hoosier win over the Lions; some thought it could be close, as they believed that Penn State might be looking ahead the Buckeye game. IU allowed State to score on a run they did not oppose. That score put PSU up 8 points inside of 2 minutes. The Hoosiers scored at the end of regulation and converted the 2 point conversion to force OT. IU then won the game in overtime, by going for 2 when they found themselves down a point. Clearly, the day’s best game!
  • Auburn 35 Ole Miss 28: Auburn, for the 2nd time in a 3 week period, won a game on a missed call! First, they beat Arkansas, 30-28, on spiked ball that was, in fact, a backward pass, the “hogs’ recovered the fumble and should have been awarded the ball. A couple of plays later the Tigers kicked the winning FG, when the ball should have been Arkansas’! This past week, Ole Miss had taken a 28-27 lead with just over 5 minutes to play. On the ensuing kickoff, an Auburn player touched the ball as it made its way into the end zone, a ball that was recovered by the Rebels. Clearly, this should have made the score 35-27, Ole Miss, with just over 5 minutes to play! Coach Malzahn is living a charmed life in 2020! This week they play LSU, Gus better wear 2 lucky charm bracelets this time!
  • Alabama 47 Tennessee 17: Two points of interest from this game; 1) Saban has now won 23 straight games vs his former assistants & 2) James Waddle, Bama’s all everything WR, broke his ankle on the opening kickoff!

Best Games in the 10 FBS Conferences in Week 8!

ACC: Game of the Week!

Florida State 2-3 @ Louisville 1-4: Both of these teams are significantly better then their records reflect. The winner of this game rights it season and will finish 2020 with a winning record. Louisville does not play Clemson and can win out and finish 6-4 with a win on Saturday. FSU does play Clemson, so a win tomorrow and they can finish 6-4. Huge game for both teams! Opened with Louisville -6.5 / game is an 11:00 kickoff on ESPN 3.

AAC: Game of the Week!

Cincinnati 3-0 @ SMU 5-0: These teams have played only 4 times in their history, Cincy leads the series, 3 to 1. That said, they have split the last 2 games, SMU won in 2017, 31-28 and the Bearcats won in 2018, 26-20. The game opened as a Pick ’em / will air on ESPN 2 @ 8:00!

Big 12 Game of the Week!

Iowa State 3-1 @ Oklahoma State 3-0: Coming into the 2018 season, OSU had won 8 straight over the Cyclones, ISU ended that last time in Stillwater, putting an end to that streak, outscoring the Cowboys, 48-42. Last year, Ok State started a new streak , beating ISU in Ames, 34-27. The road to the B-12 championship goes through, Ames, Iowa or Stillwater (not Norman) Oklahoma!

B-10 Game of the Week!

Michigan @ Minnesota: The Gophers & Wolverines have played 6 times since 2011, with Michigan winning 5 of the games, including 2 in a row! Their has only been one close game in the last 6 tilts, in 2015, a 29-26, Michigan win. The Wolves opened as a 3.5 favorite & the game will be aired @ 6:30 on ABC!

C-USA Game of the Week (Non-Conference / Friday)!

Louisiana 3-1 @ UAB 4-1: A Sun Belt / USA showdown! This is a Covid-19 game, schedule to replace lost games to the virus. UAB has played and beat another SBC team, South Alabama, 42-10. UAB’s only loss was to a very good Miami FL team, 31-14. Louisiana has beaten a very good Iowa State team, 31-13 and has lost to only an undefeated Coastal Carolina, 30-27. Bragging right are at stake and the SBC is looking to add to its very good 2020 resume!

MAC Does not start play until November 4th!

Mountain West Conference: (MWC) Game of the Week

Wyoming @ Nevada:

The Cowboys (Wyoming) are picked 2nd in their division (Mountain) behind Boise State and Nevada is the pre-season favorite to win their division (West) Wyoming may have the best runner in the MWC in Xazavian Valladay and do sport the 2nd best O-Line. Nevada may have the best defense in the MWC and do feature the two best D-Ends, San Hammond (6’5 275 & Kameron Toomer (6’3 270) in the conference.

PAC 12 does not begin until November 7th

SEC Game of the Week!

South Carolina 2-2 @ LSU 1-2: South Carolina is 2-18-1all time vs LSU and their last win vs the Tigers was in 1995. Last time the teams played was in 2015, LSU won, 45-24, LSU the defending CFP Champion is off to a rough start, losing to Mississippi State, 44-34 & Missouri, 45-41. South Carolina is coming off a big win over Auburn, 30-22 (a team that they had not beaten since 1933) and has evened their record with 2 straight wins. LSU needs a win in the worst way come Saturday! LSU is a 6 point favorite and the game is a 6:00 kickoff on ESPN!

SBC: Game of the Week!

Coastal Carolina 4-0 @ Georgia Southern 3-1: Coastal Carolina is one of the surprise teams of 2020. They beat a B-12 team, Kansas, 38-23, to start the season, then hammered Arkansas State, 52-23, ASU beat Kansas State, 35-31, who beat Oklahoma, 38-35. Then last week beat a Louisiana, who knock off Iowa State, who is currently tie for the top spot in the B-12! Georgia Southern, lone loss is to Louisiana, 20-18, and 1-1 in SBC play. GSU needs a win, at home to stay in the conference race! CCU is a 4.5 favorite and the Game is a 11:00 kickoff on ESPN!

5 most Interesting Games in Week Eight!

5. Notre Dame 4-0 @ Pitt 3-3: ND is ranked 3rd in the country, yet struggled in their last 2 outings against talented, but underperforming teams. The Irish beat Florida State (2-3), 42-26 & Louisville (1-4), 12-7. They now face a Pitt (3-3) team, that has one of the best front 7’s in the country and a team that beat Louisville, 23-20. The Panthers started the season 3-0 but have lost their last three. Two of their three losses, were by a one point (NC State, 30-29 & BC , 31-30), and their other loss was to Miami, 31-19! Sully’s College Football Page is putting the Fighting Irish on upset alert, as they travel for the 1st time this year and face the best run defense they have lined up against in 2020!

4. Nebraska 0-0 @ Ohio State 0-0: Everyone in the country is anxious to see OSU play for the 1st time in 2020. The Bucks are regarded, by many, as having the best team in the country and a QB, Justin Fields, who is a Heisman favorite! Nebraska angered many in the Big Ten offices this summer, by not walking the ‘party line’ when the B-10 put the 2020 season on hold. They talked about playing as an independent (while, the nation’s leading independent, ND, joined a conference, life is a funny ole dog), the Huskers implied that they were stepping up, while the rest of the conference was sheepishly, heading for cover! When the revised schedule came out, the Husker’s divisional crossover games were against Ohio State & Penn State. It should be noted, that Nebraska was scheduled to play both the Bucks & the Lions in 2020. Their 3rd East Division opponent, that they were to play, Rutgers, was dropped from their schedule. As a result, the Huskers will play the 3 best teams in the B-10 in 4 weeks! OSU week 1. Bucky in week 2 & PSU in week 4, ouch! Nebraska’s AD, Bill Moos, wonder aloud if Nebraska was being ‘punished’ for not getting in line with the rest of the B-10! He stated that Nebraska needed a scheduling break to get back to their glory days and the B-10 would benefit from a powerful Nebraska program. Somehow, I just can’t see or hear a Tom Osborne saying “we are being asked to play to many good teams”! This game should be fun!

3. Iowa 0-0 @ Purdue 0-0: I am anxious to see the Boilers tandem of extremely talented WR’s, perhaps the best duo in the B-10, Rondale Moore & David Bell. These guys are something else’, they two can change the flow of a game 180 degrees in an instant. Iowa had won four straight in this series (2013 thru 2016), however, the Hawks have lost 2 of the last 3 games, 24-15 in 2017 & 38-36 in 2018! Purdue’s Coach, Jeff Brohm, is anxious to get back on schedule in his rebuilding of the Purdue program (4-8 in 2019)! While the Dean of B-10 Coaches, Kirk Ferentz, looks to continue the Hawks winning ways. His teams have won 47 games in the last 5 year.

2. Auburn 2-2 @ Ole Miss 1-3: Auburn HC, Gus Malzahn, is 42-24 in the last 5 years and has beaten the ‘bullies of college football’, Alabama, 2 of the last 3 years (2017, 26-14 & 2019, 48-45)! Yet Malzahn’s ‘seat’ is perpetually ‘hot’ and no different this year. Auburn’s loss last week to South Carolina (a team that last beat Auburn in 1933, that’s right, 1933), 30-22, & the whippin UGA (Georgia) put on them in week two, 24-6, has Gus in a familiar place, the sauna! Put simply, Gus needs to win this game! The Lane Train (Lane Kiffin) put shocking numbers on Alabama, 647 total yards, 9 of 17 conversions on 3rd down, and 48 points, That said, the Rebels did lose to the Tide, 63-48! Ole Miss also put up big numbers against another of the SEC’s big boys, Florida, 613 total yards, converted 9 of 13 3rd downs, & scored 35 points. I should mention the Rebels also lost that game, 51-35. Lane’s comment to the media, after the Bama game was, “I thought they played defense in the SEC?’ You got to love that guy! The one thing we know for sure is that Lane’s team does not play D, evidenced by the fact, that they have given up 51, 41, 63, & 33 for a total of 188 points in 4 games or 47 PPG. So from Lane’s perspective, he is definitely right about defense in the SEC, he hasn’t seen much while playing none! Looking forward to this game!

1 Alabama 4-0 @ Tennessee 2-2: The Volunteers started the season 2-0 ( they beat South Carolina 31-27 & Missouri 35-12) and then lost on consecutive weekends, UGA, 44-21 & UK (Kentucky) shockingly, 34-7! UT losing to UK, at home, was a surprise, loosing by that margin, 27, suggests that something else is going on in that locker room! I am most interested to see what kind of energy the Vols bring into this game! As now, a Title Tide is heading straight for Knoxville. Bama just put a whipping on UGA, 44-21, and that means Saint Nick has been on his team all week. He has been reminding them when they sit on the porcelain stool, they aren’t making fug ripple. They better focus on Tennessee, forget UGA, & this week’s game details! Finally, I believe this is the 23rd attempt, of one of Saint Nick’s former assistants, to take down their old school boss! Good luck Jeremy Pruitt!

Enjoy the Games!
