Hey guys, back with a follow-up since the last one got a good conversation going.

First, since it's in the title: week 5 of our free college football pick'em is open. 10 games, pick the winners, nothing to buy, $135 in prizes. Picks lock Saturday at noon ET.

Now the Chips. Miami was the payday game I expected, 52-3, and I'm not reading much into it. The defense has allowed 20 points across the two wins, but whether it holds up in MAC play is still open.

That makes Akron, Saturday at 3:30 ET at home, the game the 5-7 projection hinges on. Akron just lost 38-10 at home to UNLV. Win this, and the Ohio trip becomes a shot at a winning record.

The thing I'm watching is Flores. He's been doing his damage on the ground (122 vs Colgate, 163 and 2 TDs vs Wyoming). Does that hold up against a MAC defense with film on him?

How are you guys seeing Akron? Comfortable win or a trap?

He’s done nothing but ruin WVU athletics!

He gave Neal Clown an extension that Neal never deserved forcing WVU into a financial crisis and missing out on potentially hiring Curt Cignetti when Curt was still at JMU.

He forced out legendary coach Bob Huggins even though that whole situation could have been handled much better and brought in that snake Darian DeVries who is not even that great of a coach and has never been past the 1st round of the NCAA tournament. Then when DeVries left, that was the perfect opportunity to bring back John Beilein to re-stabilize the program. But no, he goes and hires an unproven coach from North Texas that has also accomplished nothing.

Let Wren leave, and Bob Huggins can replace him as WVU’s next AD!

Central Michigan at 2-2 after the Miami trip, Akron is the one that matters now (plus week 5 of our free CFB pick'em)

If Wren Baker wants to leave for the OSU job, WVU should just let him leave!
