Daring Predictions That Will Make Me Look Like An Idiot In December (If Not Sooner)

"I don't know."

Have you ever been accused of thinking you are always right? Most likely you have because most likely if you’re reading this, you’re a man. Regardless, I find this to be an assinine statement. Who the hell would have opinions that they thought were wrong? Am I alone on this one? I would think not.

In this vein, you are about to read some predictions that I firmly believe at this point will be right. That doesn’t mean they will be at the end of the year, and like many an opinion/inkling that I have had before will probably be shat upon fiercely by the football gods.

Without further ado, I give you “Daring Predictions That Will Make Me Look Like An Idiot In December (If Not Sooner)”…

For the Big East:

• LeSean McCoy will end Pat White’s run as Big East Offensive Player of the Year
• George Selvie will NOT get his goal of 20 sacks
• South Florida will play in the Orange Bowl against Clemson
• Louisville will finish last in the Big East
• The terror-alert level for couches in Morgantown will remain at Red for the time being
• Greg Schiano will not be the coach at Rutgers in 2009
• No Big East team will go undefeated

For the NCAA at large:

• Tim Tebow will NOT repeat as Heisman Trophy winner (real ballsy to pick the field, I know)
• Terrelle Pryor will be the starting quarterback for Ohio State by their 6th game.
• Utah and BYU will both be shut out of the BCS, but…
• Texas Tech will crash the party and it will feel just like a mid-major is actually there
• Indiana will win more games than Michigan

For the Orange:

• Syracuse will go to a bowl game if they beat Notre Dame or Cincinnati at the end of November.
• Delone Carter will lead the team in rushing, just like he did in 2006.
• Jared Kimmel will lead the Orange in sacks.
• Bruce Williams will lead the team in receptions
• The Orange will have five All-Big East selections (Ryan Durand, Arthur Jones, Jake Flaherty, Mike Holmes, Rob Long).
• Greg Robinson will double his career wins in the Big East
• I will average three Dome Dogs per game (DDPG)
• My DDPG average will be less than our team rushing yards per carry

How wrong can one man be? We shall find out before we know it.
