NCAA Fact or Fanatic

No, you can't blame our picks on pain meds. Last time we checked, caprice wasn't a viable diagnosis. All we know is this: in a season where nothing makes sense, after a while the only thing that does is chaos.

Will Florida State have the guns to go toe to toe with Clemson? And if they do, will Clemson even remember to stick its foot out?

We're hoping for a fun weekend of great college football – hopefully without serious injuries. And while we'd like to think that CFB officials would get their act together and finally learn how to call a game with equality for all teams and players, we somehow don't think that's likely to happen. Still, we're looking forward to the end of the season.

Yes, we're nervous about our picks. Who wouldn't be? In a year that's been wild since week one, we know anything can happen.

Delaying the decision to cancel the Florida-LSU game because of Hurricane Matthew put people and resources in harm's way. Epic fail, Gators.

The real Vols came out last Saturday with a come-from-behind second-half domination of the #1 ranked defense in the country that silenced UT critics all over.

If this is the reincarnation of 2007, expect a couple of crazy upsets, a lot of close calls, and wild finishes.

We're 10-0 to this point. Going to be tough to see that "0" change, but it's inevitable. No one can pick perfectly all season, and that's a fact. Or is it?

LSU versus Jacksonsville State: What? You're probably looking at this game and thinking we've lost our minds. We haven't.

For years, refrains like "The (insert conference here) doesn't play anyone but cupcakes early in the year" rang true. In recent seasons, that has started to change. This 2016 NCAA football opening weekend has some intriguing, must-watch matchups, at least one of which may have national championship implications.
