Somehow, it’s only fitting that my Stanford-Hawaii pick was backward. I said that Hawaii would win in the text of my post on Friday, but I listed the results in the opposite manner. Yeah, I’m still getting used to this blog thing, after years of relying on facebook. 

A couple of thoughts on these two games.* Iowa State has a pair of very good cornerbacks, and they allowed defensive coordinator Jon Heacock to camouflage a lot of coverages, which made things difficult for Kansas State QB Avery Johnson. Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has a very good coaching staff, and I’m surprised that he hasn’t jumped ship to take a lucrative offer at a high-profile school. 

In terms of the Hawaii-Stanford game, any team visiting Hawaii endures a long commute, and that’s bound to affect their performance. Regardless of how strong the Rainbow Warriors are as a team, they enjoy one of the most effective home field advantages in the country. 

Finally, long-time readers of my football posts will note the omission of a video at the end of this post. Sadly, that was bound to happen when I moved my predictions to a blog. I’m toying with the idea of leaving the high school predictions on facebook only, which would allow me to continue those video posts every week. 

As always, the results are immediately beneath the predictions, with the winning team in ALL CAPS. Enjoy!
