College football, 9-8-12...your guess is as good as mine.

Crazy college football predictions:

Toledo 28, Wyoming 24 — This is a winnable game for the Rockets in Casper or wherever the school is. UT’s pass defense and tackling needs a lot of improvement — again. And too many freshmen played last week. Not a good sign of depth.

BG 26, Idaho 17 — I think the Falcons beat the Vandals in the Humanitarian Bowl a few years ago.

Clemson 58, Ball State 13 — Good payday for the Cardinals. Sweeney will run up the score on them.

Illinois State 34, Leastern Michigan 31 — Upset pick here in Ypsilanti.

Miami 27, Southern Illinois 20 — Red-whatevers have no running game. They dropped a lot of passes against Ohio State, but that won’t happen this weekend in Oxford.

Florida International 44, Akron 7 — FIU will blow out the Zips with little effort on a hot, humid night in Miami.

Buffalo 27, Morgan State 20 — Weak MAC team struggles to get a win over a small FCS school.

Ohio U. 37, New Mexico State 13 — Bobcats looked sharp in taking down Penn State.

Western Michigan 42, Eastern Illinois 14 — Another directional Illinois school goes up against the MAC.

Northern Illinois 35, Tennessee-Martin 21 — Huskies gave Iowa a great game and almost beat them, which would have caused huge embarrassment for the Hawkeyes and the Little 12. UT-Martin beat C-USA doormat Memphis.

Kentucky 27, Kent State 20 — How many weeks are there to the start of basketball season in Lexington? ‘Cats fans want to know that. The football season will be another stinker there.

Ohio State 31, UCF 16 — O’Leary will give Meyer a stronger test than the Red-whatevers did. UCF’s best running back has a sore shoulder from the Akron massacre and he won’t play against the Buckeyes, who need to improve their pass rush. It was very weak against Miami.

Michigan 37, Air Force 14 — Wolverines will get back on track after getting the woodshed treatment from Alabama.

Michigan State 35, Central Michigan 10 — This game is in Mount Pleasant. Chippewas must be charging their fans 75 or 80 bucks a seat to pay the Spartans to come there.

Arizona State 27, Illinois 13 — Can’t see the Illini winning in Tempe with Scheelhaase on the bench. If he plays, Beckman has a shot at win #2.

Virginia 28, Penn State 17 — Cavaliers are 10-point favorites to beat the Nit Lions in Charlottesville.

Vanderbilt 37, Northwestern 34 — Mediocre SEC team vs. mediocre Little 12 team. Take the SEC one.

Iowa 24, Iowa State 20 — This is a shaky pick, even in Iowa City. Ferentz has no running game.

Indiana 27, UMass 15 — This is a UMass home game and I think they play all of them in the Patriots’ stadium, some 60 miles off the UMass campus.

Notre Dame 27, Purdue 20 — You can’t blow this one, Kelly, and demand respect for the Irish program.

Wisconsin 27, Oregon State 17 — This could be another disappointing win for the Badgers, a failure in that the offense sputters again.

Nebraska 30, UCLA 22 — You never know which Cornhusker team will show up, especially when they’re not playing in Lincoln.

Alabama 54, Western Kentucky 0 — Saban’s second stringers would fill many of the starting spots on all Little 12 teams, and his 3rd string would unquestionably start at Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota and Penn State. That’s how much talent there is on the Crimson Tide roster. Nick can roll lines like Scotty Bowman did with the Red Wings.

USC 47, Syracuse 13 — Not even cheating Big Least zebras can help the Orange upset the Trojans, who may face new NCAA charges for improper benefits. LA Times reported last week some Trojan fan gave Joe McKnight a car and other gifts.

No Fun League predictions:

Lions 38, Rams 17 — Megatron will spend plenty of time in St. Louis' end zone after catching plenty of Stafford's passes.

Eagles 17, Browns 13 — By the end of this month, will I be calling the Browns the Clowns?

Bears 27, Colts 19 — Central Catholic's and Ohio State's Dane Sanzenbacher made the Bears roster again. Of course, all the football world's eyes will be on the Colts new QB Luck.

49ers 31, Packers 28 — Minor upset at Lambeau Field.
