Week Five Proposition Bets for the College Football Junkie

Prop Bets for the College Football Junkie is a weekly post that cares not for your silly point spreads. If you have the money and the gumption, we'll lay down a weekly gauntlet of propositions that'll take you from the penthouse to the outhouse faster than you can guess the number of times Lee Corso will say "not so fast my friend." As always, this is for entertainment purposes only.

-Predictions are already out that there will be a funeral when Georgia plays Alabama. Who's exactly is still up for debate. But everyone will be wearing black and if I know SEC fans, there will most certainly be coffins to fill. With beer, Maker's Mark, likenesses of Nick Saban and John Parker Wilson, etc. So we'll put the over/under for coffins in the tailgate area at 100. Because if you can carry something in it, Georgia fans will.

-Syracuse hosts Pitt this weekend, and in case you haven't heard things are not going well for the Orange. Pitt does not traditionally travel well. But that's neither hear nor there, because Syracuse fans are not traveling well to home games this year. So, we're betting that there will actually be more Pitt fans in the Carrier Dome this weekend than Orange fans. It'll be close, so we'll go with +/-50.

-West Virginia governor Joe Manchin pushed really had to start the WVU vs. Marshall series back up, hoping it would one day rival the Alabama vs. Auburn type rivalries of the college football world. So far, it hasn't worked out so well. Two blowouts and a steady progression from ESPN to ESPN2 to the Ocho have signaled the popularity of this series. Named the Coal Bowl, I can't actually even remember the Coal Association, the series sponsor, even running a commercial during last years game. With West Virginia having a bad year, and Marshall being Marshall we'll put the over/under on the number of updates to this game at +/-1.


Quick Hitters:

-Over/under on how many times I'll look at the schedules before I say another word +/-1,000.

-Number of times the refs will look the other way when Louisville makes a minor rules violation when UConn and the Cardinals play this weekend +/-10.

-Number of punches thrown between Rutgers players this weekend +/-5.

-Number of sideline shots of a depressed Todd Boeckman at this weekends Ohio State game +/-20.
