Not too long ago, ESPN's beautiful Molly Querim hosted an Internet vote where NCAA football helmets were judged in a
visual manner. (Personally, I would have liked to see ESPN's female anchors/corespondents pitted against the eye candy offered by Fox News and CNN.) Although I must admit it was difficult to concentrate while watching Ms. Querim's hypnotizing body....uhhh, I mean,
segments...I kept asking myself, "Why doesn't ESPN have a battle of the coolest NCAA football names?" Today it finally dawned on me. Such a contest would certainly be won by the South Carolina
Gamecocks and the Oregon State
Beavers.
Go ahead, laugh like Beavis, it's only natural.
South Carolina -14The large pointspread is a bit bothersome, but NC State's QB and offensive line are even more questionable. In addition, the Wolfpack's defense ranked 66th last year...
and only four starters return this year. Spurrier's 'Cocks (Gee, it's fun writing that.) have
six returning starters on offense and
eight on defense. Advantage 'Cocks!
Oregon State Beavers -135Coach Jim Harbaugh seems
very confident about his Stanford Cardinal team this year, a team, we must remember, that upset #2 USC last year. After all, Stanford gets
seven returning starters on offense and
eight on defense. The Beavers only have three returning starters from last year's 8th ranked defense, yet seven players rejoin the offense. I feel the Beavers will have just enough bite to bring the silly Stanford tree down.
Happy wagering, everyone!
Wednesday: 1-1
All-sports record: 18-9
