"What were you Thinking" - College Football Games of the Week

Tweetface (twitter and facebook) is getting people caught up by the day and college athletes are no exception to the rule.  In the category of "what were you thinking" and "FAIL" of the week -- Oklahoma suspended receiver Jaz Reynolds indefinitely after he posted what coach Bob Stoops called "insensitive remarks" on his Twitter page about a gunman who committed suicide on the University of Texas campus.


An account with the handle Jaz Reynolds posted the message, "Hey everyone in Austin, tx.......kill yourself" on Tuesday, the day of the suicide, followed by a disregard request 5 minutes later. The account was deactivated Wednesday.  If you guys did not hear, a gunman wearing a ski mask and brandishing a rifle entered a library at the Univ. of Texas at Austin brought an AK-47 to campus Tuesday and fired a few shots before killing his self.

Just because you are thinking it, doesn't necessarily mean you have to tweetface it...will will they learn?


Last Week 4-1(Arkansas blew it)


Overall 8-4

Games of the Week
 
East Carolina at North Carolina
UNC's defense didn't skip a beat against Rutgers thanks to Quan Sturdivant and "Que" Coples (what up neo), however the offense finally came back to earth and looked as if they were missing 7 starters.  Another outstanding performance by the defense against ECU and the Heels offense will have no choice but to step up.  Not sure which ECU team will show up as they have been inconsistent.  Go heels!  UNC 38-35
 
No. 16 Miami (FL) at Clemson
Upset special #1, well not really because Clemson is not a bad football team and they are playing at home.  Miami is prone to struggle and their quarterback (Harris) is known to throw picks.  The hurricane defense is tough but the game is in death valley so I expect the Tigers to be ready to play.  Their quarterback situation is a little sketchy but the home team has the edge in this one...Clemson 28-17
 
No. 9 Stanford at No. 4 Oregon
Upset special #2 this week.  Stanford is for real and I'm a witness after they had a player score back to back touchdowns last week (1 on defense, 1 on offense).  Notre Dame did not have a answer for them last week.  Oregon is good, but a little overrated in my opinion.  Whoever wins this game has control of the conference.  That would be the Cardinals...Cards 45-40 
 
No. 7 Florida at No. 1 Alabama
Alabama should be ranked #2 this week after Arkansas blew it.  But since they are number one and have the best two running backs in the country, that gives them the edge against a young Florida team playing on the road.  Ingram is nice, but Richardson is the truth and he doesn't even start.  The Tide showed they can win on the road against a good team last week, therefore they should have no problem with Florida...Tide 30-23
 
HBCU Game of the Week
Prairie View A&M @ Mississippi Valley State
This could be a warm up game for Prairie View before they go prime-time with an ESPNU game next Thursday against Arkansas Pine Bluff (shout out to Janeiro).  Miss Valley State ain't had winning team since Jerry Rice played for them, so I'm kidding but they are off to a bad start this year.  I'm rolling with the PV...probably because they have a better record and I like their school colors...PV 21-17
