Week 4, Ncaa College Football

Table 7 Top 6

  1. (11)Michigan @ (13)Wisconsin- This classic Big 10 match-up kicks off at 12 noon on Saturday.  Both teams are undefeated.
  2. Tennessee @ (9) Florida- Tennessee travels to the swamp to play the Gators this weekend, but those Gators are hot and hungry with wins over Kentucky and Miami.  Florida is undefeated, Tennessee on the other hand, well, they’re still looking for their first win.  Won’t be this week.
  3. Boston College @ Rutgers- This is another game that kicks off Saturday afternoon at 12.  B.C. will be traveling to my home and native land, New Jersey, to play the 1-1 Scarlet Knights.  Last week Rutgers had a bye, which is good.  Hopefully they took advantage of that extra time to prepare.  Boston College lost last week 24-48 against Kansas so this is an important one as I’m sure they’ve already had a “w” penciled in. Shhh!  Upset?  I hope.
  4. SMU @ (25) TCU- Last week, TCU was victorious over Purdue, 34-13, while SMU enjoyed the weekend off.  The last time SMU played they bitched whipped North Texas 49-27.  SMU and TCU are both undefeated, but a slight edge will be given to TCU because after-all, they’re playing home.  TCU is ranked 25th, and that’s good for SMU as a win would bring them some much needed respect and recognition.  This should be a really good game.
  5. (15) UFC @ PITT- I don’t know for a fact, but I’m pretty sure Central Florida plays every week with a bit of a chip on their shoulder because of the way they’re treated when playoff time rolls around, and rightfully so.  They’re one of several teams that get railroaded despite having a perfect record.  Right now, they’re fast off to a 3-0 start, which includes last week’s 45-27 win over Stanford.  Coach Narduzzi and his Pittsburgh Panthers lost 10-17 to in-state rival (13)Penn State last week.  I like Pitt, I sincerely do, and I hope they continue to get better and win games, but right now they’re not at the Penn State level.  I hope they’re over it, and focused on UCF because this game won’t be easy for them.
  6. (7) Notre Dame @ (3) Georgia- Kick off time is Saturday evening at 8pm, and the Georgia Bulldogs are home.  Both teams are undefeated and both won last week in blow out fashion.  Showtime!

Kentucky Blows It In Final Seconds

You could actually say the wind blew it because the winning kick sailed wide right with like :43 left on the game clock.

Good Morning NJ, PA, and the rest of the world.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day to today with it being Sunday and all.  Some people work today, some don’t, but what’s important is that we’re doing whatever it is we would like.

I don’t know how many people actually watched the Florida Gators play Kentucky last night, but it was a fabulous game as expected.  I said Kentucky would show up at night, at home, and win this game, but they ended up loosing 29-21.  If you took Kentucky with the 8 points then at least you didn’t lose any money.

I know some people got the spread at 9.5 so congratulations to all of you.

I was a 22-21 ball game with just under a minute left to play.  Kentucky drove the ball down the field in dramatic fashion, and on fourth down, special teams came on the field to kick the potential game winning field goal.  The Wildcats missed the kick and turned the ball over on downs.  Then Florida put the nail in the coffin with another touchdown run that went for 76 yards, and the extra point was good.

When the final quarter bagan, Kentucky was winning this game 21-10, but the Wildcats didn’t score any points in the fourth quarter.  In fact, they were leading the Gators 21-16 all the way up until…

Florida intercepted a pass at the six minute mark, and on their possession, the backup QB, Trask, ran it into the endzone for six.  Florida went for two but failed to convert, and the score was 22-21, which is where it stayed until the  final minute.

Florida is now 3-0 and ranked first in the SEC East, while Kentucky fell to 2-1.  They’re ranked fifth in the same division.

Wait, what?  Hawaii?  I don’t know.

Noozbuffet.com is now 1-1 with Feature Game Picks.

 

College Football Feature Game of the Week

Last week we really thought Texas A&M had what it took to upset the number one team in the country, Clemson, but Clemson didn’t allow that to happen.  We did, however, give you Texas A&M getting 17.5 and they covered.  This week we’ll look at Florida and Kentucky as our “Feature Game of the Week.”

 

This weekend, Saturday evening, September 14th at 7pm, the Florida Gators will play the Kentucky Wildcats.  Kentucky is home.

During the first week of the season Florida won an in-state rivalry game against the Miami Hurricanes 24-20, and the Hurricanes are still seeking their first win.  Last week Florida caught a favorable break in the schedule.  Who’s Tenn-Martin?  I don’t know, but  Florida won 45-0.  Florida is 2-0 and ranked 9th.

The Wildcats are 2-0 this season, averaging 38 points per game on offense.  Their wins were against Toledo and East. Michigan, so this will officially be Kentucky’s first real test.

In my opinion, this game will be close, and as much as want to say Florida will win, I don’t think they will.  I think the Wildcats will show up at home Saturday night, and shock the world with a hard fought home win against the Gators.  After this week Kentucky will be 3-0 and we’ll see them in the Top 25.

NCAA College Football Week 3; Table 7 Top 6

Welcome Everyone to week three of the NCAA college football season.  The “Table Seven Top Six” are listed below, and don’t forget to check back later this evening for our analysis and spread pick of our Feature Game Pick of the week.

Pittsburgh 1-1

(13)Penn State 1-1

Last season I really thought Pitt could’ve pulled this game off against PSU, but they didn’t.  They got beat.  Penn State has two big wins this season against Idaho and Buffalo, and by big, I mean scoring.  They haven’t really been tested.

(6)Ohio State 2-0

Indiana 2-0

Both teams are undefeated.  OSU made a statement with their 42-0 win over Cincinnati.  Indiana also won big, 52-0 over Ball State.

(9)Florida 2-0

Kentucky 2-0

Florida opened with that big win against Miami, and last week they shut out Tenn-Martin 45-0.  Kentucky had a 38-24 win over Toledo, and against East. Michigan they won 38-17.

(1)Clemson 2-0

Syracuse 1-1

Last week Clemson silenced critics with a 24-10 win over the Texas A&M Aggies.  Syracuse was officially knocked out of the top 25 after losing by 43 to Maryland.

(12)Texas 1-1

Rice 0-2

Last week, a lot of people thought Texas was going to beat LSU, but that wasn’t the case.  They lost 38-45.  Rice is still looking for their first win.

Hawaii 2-0

(23)Washington 1-1

I always liked Hawaii, and right now they’re rolling with two wins.  Last week they squeaked past Oregon St. 31-28.  Washington lost to California last week by 1 point 19-20.

 

 

Feature Follow-Up

Saturday came and went, and we all saw Clemson win 24-10 over the Texas A&M Aggies. I know Texas A&M covered the point spread, but I really thought they had a shot at winning the game and stealing some early season confidence from the Tigers.

There isn’t much to say. Against a team like Clemson, you have to play a perfect game. Kellen Mond, the Texas A&m quarterback turned the ball over twice. He threw an interception late in the game in Clemson territory, and he fumbled ball early on. I’m not putting the loss on his shoulders, but like I said, you can’t turn the ball over and expect to beat the best team in the country.

I didn’t actually watch the game, but I did see the highlights, and I saw enough to know Clemson pretty much dominated the game. The score made it look closer than it was, but Texas A&M scored a touchdown with a few seconds left in the game. In my book, it was a 24-3 game, and defensively, Clemson dominated.

Offensively, Trevor Lawrence, played okay. He had a rushing touchdown, and one passing. Clemson WR Justyn Ross had 7 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown.

College Football Week 2

College football coming up this weekend September 7th.

(5) Ohio State

Cincinnati

Both teams are 1-0, but Cincinnati is one of those teams that play the Buckeyes tough.  They’re not that bad either.😉   Last season they finished 11-2 and ranked 24th in the final AP Poll.

Rutgers 1-0

(20) Iowa 1-0

Both teams coming fresh off a week one win, Rutgers held UMass to three scoreless quarters and won 48-21.  QB Nate Stanley threw for 252 yards and 3 touchdowns for Iowa in their win over Miami (OH)

Army 1-0

(7) Michigan 1-0

Last week Army beat Rice with a fourth quarter touchdown, and Michigan beat Middle Tennessee 40-21.

(6) LSU 1-0

(9) Texas 1-0

Here’s an early treat!!!🔥🤟  Last week LSU beat Georgia Southern by 52.  WR Terrace Marshall Jr. scored 3 touchdowns, and QB joe Burrow threw for 5 total.  Texas beat Louisana Tech 45-14.

Nevada 1-0

(16) Oregon 0-1

Nevada had a big win against Purdue.  Purdue dominated the first half, but the Wolf Pack scored 17 points in the 4th quarter and held the Boiler Makers to zero.  Nevada QB threw touchdown paasses and Toa Taua was quite busy catching and running the ball.

Oregon, well, they had a big loss against Auburn.  A win this week is absolutely necessary for the Ducks if they expect to remain in the Top 25.

Tulane 1-0

(10) Auburn 1-0

Auburn’s big win against Oregon gives them a tremendous wave of momentum coming into week 2.  Tulane beat Florida Intl. 42-14 in their season opener.

Obviously, the week two schedule will be full of amazing games this weekend, so there will be tons of action.  As always we’re extremely excited here at Table Seven and NoozBuffet.com for another football season.  You know, you wake up one morning in late August or early September, and you can smell the freshly cut grass.

The school busses are zooming around town, and late in the afternoons you can hear high school bands practicing, if you live close to a school of course, but the point here is that you know it’s time.  You can feel it, you can hear it, and you can smell it.  It’s football season.

Alright Everyone, Have A Wonderful Evening And A Fabulous Saturday.

Philadelphia Eagles preseason nooz

8/29/19- Tonight the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Jest are playing, and this my friends, is the final preseason game of the 2019 season.  It went fast didn’t it.  This should be a game where the Eagles will fine tune things, maybe they’ll give starters a half of playing time.  Either way, the roster will be lean, mean, and set for the opener against the Redskins.

8/27/19- LB Asantay Brown was one of a long list of players cut in order for Eagles to make 53 man roster. 

8/25/19- The Eagles are traveling to New Jersey to play the Jets for their final preseason game Thursday, August 29th.

8/23/19- Not that it really counts, but the Ravens beat the Eagles last night 26-15.  The Eagles are now 1-2 this preseason.  

McCown looked really good.  Statistically, he completed 17 passes out of 24 attempts.  He threw two touchdowns and had zero interceptions.  That’s not bad at all.  

Both teams headed into the locker room with 11:43 on the clock in the fourth quarter because of severe weather concerns.  The game was eventually called off, and that’s where it ended.

8/22/19- Tonight, preseason, Eagles vs. Ravens.  I don’t think Carson Wentz will see any game time. 

8/20/19– Right now, the eagles have five quarterbacks on the roster, and one just came out of retirement.  I guess you could say the Eagles “quarterback situation” is somewhat of an emergency after losing Nate Sudfeld (broken bone on his left wrist) and Cody Kessler (concussion) in the first two preseason games.

Josh McCown, who is now 40, just came out of retirement for his 17th season.  He signed a one-year deal that could be worth up to $5 million. 

The other two QB’s on roster are Carson Wentz and Clayton Thorson.

8/19/19– Preseason for the Philadelphia Eagles began this year on August 8th.  They opened with a home lose against the Tennessee Titans 27-10.  The following week the Eagles traveled to Jacksonville, and evened their record with a 24-10 win over the Jaguars.

They have two preseason games left, and that will wrap up the month of August.  They’re at home hosting the Ravens on Thursday August 22, and then they’ll travel to Jersey to play the Jets.

Official regular season play begins Sunday, September 8th.  The Eagles will play home against the Washington Redskins.
