Black Shoe Degenerates: Week Six

Amazingly, week six of the college football season is here. It’s hard to believe we’re already “six” weeks in but the good news is there is still plenty of football to play and watch this season. The even better news? Penn State football is just two weeks away!

Scoreboard (Unofficial):

Marty, Eli, and Dylan are all fighting for second place but can they catch up to Clay? There’s plenty of time left but Clay is certainly finding ways to extend his lead every week.

Clay: 67
Marty: 47
Eli: 46
Dylan: 41
Chris: 36
Lando: 31
Jared: 29

This week’s action:

No.4 Florida (-6.5) vs No.21 Texas A&M - 12:00 PM - ESPN

Florida is coming off a second-straight offensive performance with a win over South Carolina last week. Now, they’ll look to put a second loss on Texas A&M’s ledger as the Aggies are coming off a blowout loss against Alabama last weekend. The Aggies haven’t looked good at all this season but after giving 52 points last weekend, can they stop the Gators offense especially the nation’s most dominant quarterback-receiver connection in Kyle Trask and Kyle Pitts.

Marty: Florida 35 - Texas A&M 24
Dylan: Florida 42 - Texas A&M 27
Lando: Florida 38 - Texas A&M 17
Jared: Florida 35 - Texas A&M 21
Clay: Florida 38 - Texas A&M 24
Eli: Texas A&M 35 - Florida 34
Chris: Florida 38 - Texas A&M 24

Oklahoma (-2.5) vs No.22 Texas - 12:00 PM - FOX

Perhaps one of the most depressing Red River Rivalry games in the last few decades. Oklahoma enters this game looking for an early season saving victory as they’ve dropped two straight and a third loss will drop them to 1-3 on the season. Texas, is coming off an upset loss to TCU and they’re Big 12 hopes are certainly more alive than Oklahoma’s but a loss on Saturday would be a significant blow.

Marty: Oklahoma 38 - Texas (Still not back) 33
Dylan: Oklahoma 41 - Texas 38
Lando: Oklahoma 35 - Texas 28
Jared: Oklahoma 45 - Texas 41
Clay: Texas 41 - Oklahoma 37
Eli: Texas 49 - Oklahoma 42
Chris: Oklahoma 35 - Texas 28

Pitt (-6.5) at Boston College - 4:00 PM - ACCN

After a 3-0 start, the Panthers were upset last week by NC State while Boston College is looking like a much improved team in Jeff Hafley’s first season on Chestnut Hill. Will the Panthers fall for the second straight week?

Marty: Pitt 17 - Boston College 16
Dylan: Pitt 24 - Boston College 20
Lando: Pitt 24 - Boston College 21
Jared: Pitt 20 - Boston College 17
Clay: Boston College 23 - Pitt 20
Eli: Pitt 20 - Boston College 17
Chris: Pitt 21 - Boston College 17

Florida State at Notre Dame (-21.5) - 7:30 PM - NBC

Notre Dame in their two wins have looked really good while Florida State looks like possibly the worst Power Five team in the country. The Fighting Irish will win this game, there’s no doubt, but by how much is the question.

Marty: Notre Dame 35 - Florida State 10
Dylan: Notre Dame 45 - Florida State 13
Lando: Notre Dame 27 - Florida State 10
Jared: Notre Dame 38 - Florida State 14
Clay: Notre Dame 37 - Florida State 13
Eli: Notre Dame 55 - Florida State 3
Chris: Notre Dame 42 - Florida State 10

Tennessee at Georgia (-13.5) - 3:30 PM - CBS

Tennessee is tied for the longest winning streak in the nation among Power Five programs at eight. Georgia is coming off a dominant win over Auburn last weekend. It’s been a long time since the Vols went into Athens and left with a victory, is an upset in store this afternoon?

Marty: Georgia 24 - Tennessee 10
Dylan: Georgia 35 - Tennessee 13
Lando: Georgia 42 - Tennessee 17
Jared: Georgia 31 - Tennessee 21
Clay: Georgia 30 - Tenessee 21
Eli: Georgia 24 - Tennessee 20
Chris: Georgia 45 - Tennessee 28

Miami (FL) at Clemson (-14.5) - 7:30 PM - ABC

Tonight is the night that we finally find out if Miami is for real as they take on the Clemson Tigers. The Hurricanes have looked really good offensively throughout this season so far but their defense is certainly suspect. Do they have enough talent and firepower to hang with Clemson for a full 60-minutes?

Marty: Clemson 38 - Miami 21
Dylan: Clemson 42 - Miami 20
Jared: Clemson 42 - Miami 21
Clay: Clemson 38 - Miami 17
Eli: Clemson 38 - Miami 28
Chris: Clemson 49 - Miami 28
Lando: Clemson 42, Miami 20
