Check out Larry's work at https://collegefootballnowme.wordpress.com/
Wow! We may have just had the best week in a long time with some great games, exciting finishes, and upset results, and this week the drama may not be quite as big. With a lot of teams taking the bye week, I have fewer chances of making a miss.
Speaking of a miss, you can’t spell Ole Miss without those letters and last week everyone in football writing was shocked to see Kiffin’s Kommandos fall to the Loser’s List. That was my only miss. To make it worse, I’ve been saying all season that these Kentucky Kitties are going to knock off a big boy and when they did it, I missed it.
So let’s get to this week’s list and see who’s gonna wind up on the wrong side of the list.
Tennessee at Arkansas – The Vols come for a visit down at the Pigpen and they don’t plan on slopping the Hogs, they are planning a big barbeque instead. And the bad news is, these little Piggies are equipped to stop the carnage.
These guys in orange have too much going for them to be tripped up by this pack of Pigs and this one won’t be game worth the gander. Pittman’s Pigs will be pulled pork before you know it.
This one should get horrible in a hurry, so we’ll do the same and just go ahead and list Arkansas as Larry’s loser and move along.
UCF at Florida – The Golden Knights go to Gainesville to grapple with the Gators and this is a good year to take on that challenge. The Gators are on hard times this season and this might just be time to topple an SEC blue blood.
But this ain’t a dead Gator on the side of the road, it’s actually shown some signs of life and we are thinking that they could muster up enough chomping to dent the armor of these Knights from MickeyMouseville.
I honestly think you could flip a coin in this one and be just as accurate as most, but we’re going with the home team and putting Larry’s loser as UCF.
Auburn at Georgia – Georgia’s had a harder time than they may have thought they would getting to this point in the season. So now they go to an old foe’s fortress and try to gain that next step toward a playoff spot.
Now we all remember the magical games that the Tigers have all pulled off in big games in the past against Georgia, and the fans believe there’s always one more prayer to be prayed and granted. It’ll be interesting to see how the Dogs respond to last week.
But it ain’t this week, and it ain’t this game but we see the Tigers keeping it close for a while but still winding up on the wrong side of the list. So make Auburn Larry’s loser and we’ll go on to the next.
Ole Miss at South Carolina – Lane Kiffin stumbled this past week in the SEC and this week he brings the Rebs to the Henhouse in Cluckerville to feed his troops a little fried Chicken and move a little closer to getting back in the playoff picture.
Now these Cluckers will get their pecks in and make it tough on defense for a while, but the only ones getting plucked are the ones with feathers and the sad truth is we could all see it coming for miles.
Now these prized Pullets have already pulled off one big upset. Can they do another? They could, but these Rebs are sore over last week, so write up South Carolina on the Loser’s list and we’ll see how it plays out.
Missouri at Texas A&M – Missouri and Texas A&M have both tried to be SEC upper crusts this season and this may be the game that separates the winners from the losers. So when the Midwest Meeyowers travel to Texas to bury the Farm Hands in the South 40, we’re going to witness a war.
The real early money’s been on the Aggies. But I had a dream that my old pigskin pickin’ pal up in Heaven smiled down and said he was pleased I’m still picking these losers and that he still watches the games too. And he also told me not to sleep on those Midwest Meeyowers this season, that he’s met their guardian angel and she’s a beast!
And though I’m not sure if that meant this week or the whole year, I’m going against my head, home-field advantage, and the boys from lost wages, I’m going with my dog who tells me in a dream to put Texas A&M on the Loser’s List.
Alabama at Vanderbilt – The Tide travels to Song City to take on the Sailor Boys and they are still talking about the Tusked Ones ex-coach saying that Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC. But you know, Missouri might just disagree with that.
This year’s version of Vandy packs some muscle and we might just change our mind on them going bowling at year’s end.
So don’t take this team as a laughing stock, or they might just get a lucky volley off and make it a troublesome day and make them pay. After all, the Tide is coming off a big game and a letdown wouldn’t be too farfetched, but we see Larry’s loser as Vanderbilt.
Since it’s a short week, I’m throwing in two bonuses. The first is this old man’s takeaways from the sensational Bama-Dog game last Saturday. The second is a look back at a story I wrote that foretells the greatness and recruiting value that Ryan Williams would bring to the Tide. Boy is that worth a re-read.
Larry has been writing for over 25 years and his sports articles have been published in most all the leading sites. He was Bleacher Report’s number-one college football writer and was the senior writer for Touchdown Alabama, but is now retired and just writing for my friends to enjoy my ramblings.

- An old sports writer’s takeaways on the Alabama vs Georgia game
- Ryan Williams to have huge impact on the field and in Recruiting – Just like Julio Jones did in Saban’s early years
