The Kings of the Everglades

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I look at the upcoming games this weekend it seems things are about to heat up in God's Ol' Waitin' Room. All three Florida Teams have must win games this week. (The UCLA/Stanford game will be good too, it just doesn't fit with my Florida theme haha.)

 

 

 



Let's start with Miami simply because they are playing a re-building Tar Heels program. North Carolina is struggling this year and the Hurricanes should be easily strong enough to blow the roof off the shed. Mid-season you always have to watch out for that unforeseen upset, but this shouldn't be an issue.

 

 



With two key losses under their belt, every game from here on out is a must win for Florida if they want to have the 1% chance of them making the finals and/or a Bowl Game. The loss of Driskel obviously sucks, but replacement Murphy hasn't lost the Gator step; be honest, he's just as good. Losing to LSU and a fellow Hurricane is nothing to be ashamed of. Some years you win those and some years you lose them. That's college football. Missouri is out for SEC blood though after devouring a whole orchard of Peaches. This will be a good proving grounds for both teams.

 

 

 

 

The Seminoles are going to need every hatchet in the arsenal. This game has National Championship Game implications. Undefeated Clemson has steadily knocked off their schedule checklist one by one and have no intentions of making an exception for State. They struggled with Boston College last week; good teams always find a way to win. The Seminoles are in the exact same row boat. They have been walking through their schedule and also had their own road block victory against the Eagles. Clearly, this is everybody's game to watch and I really do hope it's a barn burner because as a football fan there's nothing better to watch then two giants taking full swings at each other.



 

 

All records and stats aside, this weeks games have me asking myself the question: With three very different identities, which of these Florida triplets is The King of the Everglades?

 

Shhhhh...no Johnny Football this week.
