David S. Green
(a former CFC champion, I might add) trained too hard for a road relay race in Asheville in early September and will regrettably will miss the entire 2018 CFC. We wish DSG the best in his rehab and welcome him back with open arms for the 2019 campaign. DSG will seek a medical red shirt, and WILL NOT transfer a la Kelly Bryant.

ALMOST made the cut...


Stanford at California
(Hopefully, when the smoke clears, Bryce Love can get ONE Heisman caliber game in after a season of nagging injuries)

Duke at #2 Clemson
(Devils deserve MUCH better than to be kicked off the CFC slate with a 7-3 record, but unless Trevor Lawrence is ruled academically ineligible and Dabo comes down with the bird flu, we ALL know who is gonna win this one!)

Michigan State at Nebraska
(This could be a GREAT game, with resurgent Children of the Corn showing signs of life, but 3-7 teams have NO bidness being on CFC slate)

Middle Tennessee at Kenucky
(HERE ME NOW!!!... the 7-3 Blue Raiders have a GREAT shot at a W in Lexington!)

Mississippi at Vanderbilt
(Another middle of the road SEC game involving two teams fighting for bowl eligibility)

12:00 Maryland at Indiana
10:30 California at USC

_____________________________

ALMOST made the cut...

#16 Mississippi State at #1 Alabama
(Hate to leave out a Top 25, but we all know who is gonna win this one... Starkdawgs have given up FEWEST TD's in country this year, but haven't played TuaTide yet)

#24 Auburn at #5 Georgia
(Another Top 25 SEC game we all know who is going to win... hey, BC is ranked higher than Auburn)

#2 Clemson at #17 Boston College
(Eagles think they have a chance at Chestnut Hill... they have a chance to win the 1st quarter, that's it!)

#8 Washington State at Colorado
(Could be closer than you might think, but Wazzu could very well be headed towards CFP with some help. Hope Gardner Minshew continues his torrid pace at QB)

Mississippi at Texas A&M
(Could be a very entertaining game at College Station)
