The Beeze's NCAA Conference Predictions

Yeah, that's the best thing you're going to see at a Arizona State game this year!

So this is my predictions for how the conferences will shake out this season in college football...This is based entirely on my own opinions, from my years of sitting on my ass and watching football, as well as sitting on the toilet and reading up on as much college football news as I can...

Let's start with the Big-Ten...


No, it won't be Ohio State and Michigan...Ohio State isn't even eligible for the Big-Ten Championship...Penn State is also ineligible...First we'll start with the "Leaders" division...Yes, the Big-Ten named their divisions, "Leaders" and "Legends"...I had no idea Twats and Douchebags was already taken...

Leaders
1. Wisconsin
2. Ohio State
3. Illinois
4. Penn State
5. Purdue
6. Indiana

Wisconsin has the most talent, right now and their division is weak...Ohio State will do okay, but will still be adjusting to Urban Meyer football, which is a lot different from Jim Tressel ball...Well, except for the criminals, and cheating parts!

I have to say this...I can't wait for Saturday, to watch the Ohio University Bobcats beat up Penn State in not-so-"Happy Valley!"

Legends
1. Nebraska
2. Michigan
3. Michigan State
4. Northwestern
5. Iowa
6. Minnesota

Seriously, why are they still playing football at Minnesota? That program is a joke...The most important game on the schedule is Michigan at Nebraska on October 27th...The winner of that game will take the division, and I'm putting my money on the 'Huskers...And I'll take Nebraska over Wisconsin in the conference Championship game...

Now lets look at the Big East...

1. South Florida
2. Rutgers
3. Louisville
4. Cincinnati
5. Syracuse
6. Pitt
7. UConn
8. Temple

Okay, this conference is in a sad state...This is the year B.J. Daniels and USF put it all together...Louisville heads to Rutgers the last week of the season...That will decide 2nd place, and I'm taking Rutgers D over Louisville's QB Teddy Bridgewater, who is getting a bit of hype...Syracuse will be up slightly, while Pitt slides...Temple, UConn, stick to Basketball.

Moving from the Big lEast, will go next to the slightly better, ACC...

Atlantic
1. Clemson
2. Florida State
3. Wake Forest
4. NC State
5. Maryland
6. Boston College

Yep, I'm taking Clemson over the over-hyped FSU...Clemson is loaded at the skill positions, and has a solid defense...Wake Forest will be up this year...Boston College is clearly focusing solely on Hockey...

Coastal
1. Virginia Tech
2. Georgia Tech
3. North Carolina
4. Miami
5. Virginia
6. Duke

No surprise here...VT is always in it...UNC has some good talent, but they're still learning about football there...Duke, still hasn't figured it out! Tech will take the conference Championship game, well, since Clemson never seems to win a big game.

Well, now we should get to the most loved, and hated conference out there...

The SEC...


Oh, were looking for some Southern Fried Hottie...Sorry about that...I just thought in this world of hyped QB's, people should get use to seeing AJ McCarron...McCarron will be leading Alabama to the SEC Championship game...There's no doubt the West will be a battle between 'Bama and LSU...The Tide have the better all-around team, and the better QB...It's theirs to lose...

West
1. Alabama
2. LSU
3. Arkansas
4. Auburn
5. Miss State
6. Texas A&M
7. Ole Miss

East
1. Georgia
2. South Carolina
3. Missouri
4. Florida
5. Tennessee
6. Vanderbilt
7. Kentucky

Georgia is loaded, and there toughest competition is South Carolina, which they'll take care of, because Spurrier seems to find ways to lose...Mizzou, Florida, Tenn, and Vandy are in a log jam...Kentucky...Another Basketball school still trying to figure out this pesky Football...I'll take Alabama over Georgia in the Conference Championship game.

Now it's time for the Big-12...

1. Oklahoma
2. Kansas State
3. Texas
4. TCU
5. West Virginia
6. Oklahoma State
7. Baylor
8. Texas Tech
9. Kansas
10. Iowa State

To me, Oklahoma is a no-brainer...Just a loaded team...2nd and 3rd will be decided December 1st when Texas visits K-State...Texas' defense will keep them in the hunt this year, but I'm gambling on Collin Klein and Kansas State to shake things up...West Virginia will realize they're not in the Big East anymore...

Now, we'll end with the Pac-12...



North
1. Oregon
2. Washington
3. Stanford
4. Washington State
5. California
6. Oregon State

You can't go against Oregon and their high-octane attack...They're loaded with talent on both sides of the ball...Washington is going to compete, and scare some people...Washington State is going to surprise people, and if they get a bit of luck, they could pull out an upset or two...

South

1. USC
2. Utah
3. Arizona
4. UCLA
5. Arizona State
6. Colorado

Yeah, I hate USC, but you gotta except that they're a powerhouse...The rest of the division, flip a coin...It's just a bunch of average, with the exception the steaming pile of crap known as Colorado...Sad what has happened to that program...

The Pac-12 is a two team race, and it looks to be the same two teams for awhile...Oregon and USC just keep reloading, and the rest of the conference can't keep up...As good as I know USC is, I'm going to put my money on Oregon, in the conference championship game...Hopefully Notre Dame LB, Manti Te'o will take Matt Barkley out on November 24th, to help out the Ducks...

I know the smaller conference fans will give me shit if I don't give them love, so real quick here...Boise State takes the Mountain West...Fresno State, and Wyoming will push them, and we'll see major improvement from Colorado State...

Ohio will take the MAC East, while Bowling Green gives them a good push...Toledo will take the MAC West in a tight battle with Western Michigan...The OU Bobcats will beat the Rockets in the Championship game...

Houston will take the Conference USA Championship after beating UCF...Tulsa is the only other team with a shot, except they have to deal with Houston's non-stop offense...And we'll give the Sunbelt to Arkansas State...Does anyone follow the Sunbelt?

Later, the Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Well it's Monday again, and it's time for another dose of Moaning...First off, this week I'm not as grumpy as I was last week...Thanks to Notre Dame not shitting the bed Saturday! You can read about that HERE...

Then there was the Browns...Coming off of an embarrassing loss to the Bengals, and rolling into Indianapolis...Now the Browns won, but unlike many folks in Cleveland, I'm not getting my hopes up...I mean, other than two excellent defensive ends, the Colts defense isn't that great...And their offense is lost without Peyton Manning...So relax Clevelanders, the Brownies still lost to the Bengals...

And what happened to the Ravens...They took apart the Steelers last week, and then this week they got punked by the Titans...WTF!?!

Cam Newton threw for over 400 hundred yards again...But he was able to mix in 3 interceptions, to help the Panthers lose! (ouch B-Dub!)

Oh, and Tom Brady was out there again Sunday, just torching mother fuckers! (423 yards and 3 TD's)

But enough of that stuff...Let's get into this College Football shit that is going down...Awhile back, I predicted, along with others, that we would see 4 "Super Conferences" in college football...Well as the Big-12 seems to be losing members, now The Big-East is falling...Pitt and Syracuse are heading to the ACC, and rumor has it, UConn and Rutgers are next...It wouldn't be a surprise to see USF head that way as well...

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech...Look for all those kids to head to the PAC-12...I see Missouri, and Iowa State going to the Big-10, and then the Big-Ten will grab some Big East leftovers...The SEC already grabbed Texas A&M...They'll pick up some one else from the Big-12...

The big questions...Where do TCU and Boise State go...They're tired of being left out by the big guns...And, will 4 "Super Conference" telling the BCS to go to hell, and calling the shots in college football, finally force Notre Dame into a conference...Will the Irish even be invited?

If it all goes down, as I think it will...We may finally get the College Football playoff we've been dying for...And when it happens, how many will start bitching about the tradition of college football...What, the tradition of bitching every season about which team or teams got screwed...Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty to bitch about!

As for the happenings in my world...I spent Sunday morning at Chuck-Cheese with the kids, for one of their friends birthday...That, after watching our friends daughter over night Saturday...Some one is gonna get sick, I can feel it...

Here's my little girl, Saturday night around 12:30AM...Laughing and playing...She stayed up until almost 2:00AM...


Living the dream!

Sunday afternoon, I spent a few hours chopping a hedge that runs along our driveway...The city informed me it has to be no taller than 8 feet...So my 5'7" ass was on a shaky 6 foot ladder with electric hedge trimmers...One douche neighbor, who didn't offer to help, informed me that one of the things growing in this hedge, on my next door neighbors side, was poison oak...So if some one doesn't get sick, I'm waiting for some one to start itching...

Oh, and Mrs. Beeze starts her new job Monday...Going from one giant, evil bank, to another giant evil bank...But it's a really nice bump in pay...I'm one year closer to my goal of retiring by 40!

That's it for now....Have a week...I'm sure it's just gonna be great!

Later, The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Yes, this conversation has taken place more than a few times the last couple weeks in the Beeze household...But can you blame me?



No! It's not wrong at all!


Well the Holidays are over and it's a New Year, but the Cleveland Browns are still the same old, steaming pile of shit that they've been since 1999...But before I get into ranting and raving over the Browns, let me run down some other stuff in the sports world...

Friday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish pounded on the Miami Hurricanes 33-17, and it wasn't really that close...The Irish defense, led by Harrison Smith's 3 interceptions, shut down the 'Canes all day...While the offense led by freshman QB, Tommy Rees, looked good, they could have blown Miami out...There were some points left out there, a problem they've had all year...I hoping to see a good competitive game, but I was more than willing to watch the Irish give out a beating...

Notre Dame finished the season strong, and I hope coach Brian Kelly can build off of it...It would help if he can convince WR Michael Floyd, TE Kyle Rudolph, and Safety Harrison Smith to come back for another season...

Staying with College Football, Pitt fired their new head coach, Mike Haywood, just three weeks after hiring him...Why? Well, Haywood was arrested for domestic battery in the presence of a minor...It's good to see there are some Universities that have standards!

Still staying with College Football...Hey Big-Ten, and Big-Ten fans...Your conference sucks! No seriously, YOU SUCK! Saturday Texas Tech beat Northwestern 45-38...Alabama beat Michigan State 49-7...Mississippi State beat Michigan 52-14...Florida beat Penn State 37-24...And TCU beat Wisconsin 21-19...Lucky for the conference Iowa pulled out a 27-24 win against Missouri on the 28th...

Wow! Not a good Bowl Season for the Big-Ten...Now, I'm really hoping Arkansas beats the shit out of Ohio State!

How about the Winter Classic...I have to tell you, I wasn't as into it as I was the last couple years...It was great in Chicago...It was awesome in Boston...But this year's in Pittsburgh, didn't have the same vibe...Maybe it's all the hype this one has had, with the HBO show and everything...And speaking of that...I have to say, I'm glad they showed Ovie and Crosby's true colors...Great clips of both of these superstars bitching about calls, and no-calls...And Crosby saying, "Fuck you Green" after Mike Green put his ass in the boards...I hate both of these guys, and I'm glad their bitchiness was put on display...

Now to the Browns...I wrote on Facebook, and Twitter during halftime of the Browns/Steelers game, that "Everyone involved withe the Cleveland Browns should be shot."

Maybe this is a bit harsh, but when you end your season with a 41-9 loss to your rival, your fan-base is going to be pissed...The Browns were out-coached, and out-played in every single aspect of the game...It was brutal to watch...

Now it's expected that coach Eric Mangina will get fired Monday...Not a surprise...But what really needs to happen? The team needs to be put on the market...It has been clear that owner Randy Lerhner could give a shit...This ass-hat is hardly ever at the games...He invests more time in his gay ass soccer team in England then he does the Browns...Sorry gay people if that offended you...Soccer people if that offended you, I don't apologize...Yes, it's a sport, I would never say it wasn't...It's just a stupid sport!

Anyways...Lerner has no damn interest in the team...That's why he hired Mike "the walrus" Holmgren to run the whole damn organization...So why not sell the team to some one who is actually interested in Football...

And Browns fans, why do you think he keeps serving you shit? Because you keep paying for shit...Try this...Don't buy tickets anymore...Don't buy merchandise anymore...Don't put any more money in his pockets...Then maybe, he'll realize he better put a quality product out there...Clevelanders, I'd love to see you take a stand, and stop wasting your money on this shitty product...

Fuck it!

Go Patriots!

One last thing...All last week, every "News" show was doing tributes to the people who died and will be missed in 2010...When they do this, it's only celebrities that they are talking about...actors, singers, athletes...You know what would have been nice to see for once...All the men and women who died in service of their country...It's really sad what a bunch of shit-bags the news media has become...

Have a week...

Later, The Beeze.
