Seedy K’s Peerless Pigskin Prognostications: Champs Week

Yes, it’s true what the tuned in amongst you have heard.

There are head prognosticator positions open at both vegasbetsbig.com and betyourira.com. With championship games, West Point vs. Annapolis, the CFP and Bad Boy Mower Pinstripe Bowl still to be played.

And, yes, a bidding has ensued for the services of, ahem, do I really need to spell it out?

OK, I shall.

S E E D Y  K.

And that’s despite the reality that before Week 0, I pronounced with arrogant certainty that the winner of Kansas State/ Iowa State game in Ireland would be in the CFP.

For transparency purposes, I feel compelled to advise that my agent Sid Kibbutz has been contacted by both seeking my services.

When Sid approached Glorious Editor about an extension and raise, GE’s exact response, “Get outta my office before I call security and have you escorted out of Chron Tower with extreme prejudice.”

Yet I, a man of integrity, a man of ethics, a former barrister at the bar — both Toy Tiger and Jefferson County and Federal Courts — am keeping my talents right here at the Chron and seedyksports.com.

Kiffin dat!!!!!!!

All of that aside, I head into the postseason smokin’ hot.

I bested my 4-1 Week XIII performance with an even more superior 6-1 this Weekend XIV past.

Hold your applause.

Only my flyer on Pitt over the Irish — Ouch — didn’t play out as planned.

The Texas Archies upset A&M. Ryan Day and the Buckeyes finally got one in the Big House. Vandy turned “Rocky Top” into a dirge. Indiana lowered the Boilermakers to simmer. Mike Norvell gave Seminole fans a hint that the future shall probably look like the recent past, falling to interimly coached Florida.

And the Louisville Cardinals ran Mark Stoops right outta the Dark and Bloody ground, 41 zed.

The post season is upon us.

Your peerless prognosticator is in post season form.

This weekend’s winners:

North Texas vs. Tulane. Welcome to the Green Bowl. What could be more American for the American Conference than both of these G5 powers losing their coaches in this run o’ muck Tilt A Whirly Swirl postseason? Mean Green Morris off to Okie State. Green Wave’s Jon Sumrall off to GatorLand. But both will be coaching their soon to be former squads in the title battle. Apparently their departures from their respective schools has been more amicable than whatsisname’s. The game’s in New Orleans, even though both teams enter with one league loss, and Tulane’s lost to whatisname in addition. Coin flip? Tiebreaker? Pronouncement by the Jolly Green Giant? I’m a New Orleans guy. Green (Wave) over (Mean) Green.

Brigham Young vs. Texas Tech. The school from Lubbock with its oil rich fanbase has infamously upped the ante for NIL. Somewhat under the radar is the uber wealthy Church of Latter Day Saints. Ruling oligarchs of which are of the mind that boffo sports teams make their faith more attractive. Which is to say, I am so sure that enough money is being tossed at their pigskinners that a year or so of sexual abstinence is worth a try. Unlike the combatants in the American title battle, the Cougs and Red Raiders have met. TT smacked BYU around more than a bit at home, 29-7. Both of these coaches have new contracts at these schools. Joey McGuire has a better team than Kalani Sitake. And shall prove it again.

Georgia vs. Alabama. Just when we thought there might be at least one newcomer to the SEC title tussle, A&M fell in Austin. So here we are, just the same as it seems it always is. the Tide have fallen twice, inexplicably to woeful Florida State, and not long ago to the surging Sooners. The Bulldogs only once. But it was to . . . Alabama. Kirby Smart’s exemplary record at Georgia is 116-20. Against the Tide, 1-7. Call in the shrinks. Does he still have nightmares about Tua Tagovailoa? Probably. Not sure why, but I’ll say Bulldogs.

Indiana vs. Ohio State. As good as Indiana has been, unblemished record, consecutive road Ws at Iowa and at Oregon, we, OK I, still have doubts. As much as I have a man crush on Curt Cignetti, or maybe because of it. The Buckeyes have been there done that for decades. The Hoosier fanbase still reminisces about and revers Branch McCracken and the Hurryin’ Hoosiers. Kokomo’s Jimmy Rayl from deep. Gridiron glory is new, still a smidge discomforting to understand. Are they for real? Well, yes. But does that mean they’re ready for their first W over Buckeyes since 1988? Wishful thinking. Yes.

Duke vs. Virginia. For the sake of anyone who cares a whit about the ACC, Virginia Must Win This Game. They will.
