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

I dont know.

"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.
