-What do coaches do with all of their free clothing and other college stuff they got while coaching when they get fired?  Think about how many different shirts, pants, hats, etc a coach gets when he is hired and accumulates over his tenure as a coach of a team.  Now, what does he do with all that stuff when he is canned?  Does he keep it?  Does he burn it?  Or do a bunch of local homeless people suddenly start wearing a bunch of new college-themed clothing?  I really want to know.

-Does ESPN understand the concept of an "upset"?  On their college football scoreboard, they have a bar at the top of the page that shows any games that fall under the category of an "Upset Alert".  However, they kept showing the Missouri v. Ole Miss score as an upset.  Missouri was winning that game and not only were the Tigers the higher ranked team, but they were also favored.  How in the hell is that considered an "Upset Alert"?  It's not, once again proving ESPN is stupid.

-You might notice that I am not picking the Clemson/SC game.  Call me superstitious, but I refuse to jinx Clemson in any way, so I will not be picking that one.

-Well, I had an inverse week from the previous week.  I started out 2-0 and finished 0-3 (opposed to starting 0-4 and finishing 2-0).  This is just not my season.  I guess I'm just not following the game like I did in the past.  Or I'm just getting really unlucky.  I did have that stretch where I lost more picks because of backdoor covers than I did in all the other seasons I've been doing this combined.  Whatever.  I guarantee a winning week or your money back.

The Funniest Sign From Last Week's College GameDay

(I was at the Clemson game and didn't see GameDay this week, so this was the best I could find on the internet.)

-Alright, enjoy the fourteenth week of college football.
