You know, that Jerry Palm, he's always talking about them bowl projections. What's that? I heard it's about them football games. Big games, they say. He's from that CBS Sports, always on the TV talking about this stuff.
He's saying who's gonna play in them big games, end of the season. They call it the National Semi-final. Sounds fancy, huh? He.esoppus I , picks the teams, you see. Like picking the best apples from the tree. He's got it all figured out, that Jerry Palm. Every single game, he's got a guess. Smart fella, I suppose.
- That Jerry, he thinks he knows it all about them bowl projections.
- He's always on about who's gonna play who.
- Says it's all about them college football teams.
These college boys, they play hard. Week 11 now, they say. Means something, I reckon. Six wins, you gotta have six wins to be in the big game. Bowl eligible, they call it. Sounds important. Like getting enough eggs to make a pie. Gotta have enough to make it good. Jerry Palm, he knows who's got enough wins. Keeps track of it all, like I keep track of my chickens.
He's from CBS, that Jerry Palm. Always has something to say about college football. And the Big 12, too. Some conference, they call it. Like a big meeting of the hens, all clucking about. Things change every week, he says. Just like the weather. One day it's sunny, next day it's raining. Gotta keep up with it all.
Heard there was some big change, some shakeup, they called it. Clemson, someone named Clemson was in the front, but not anymore, I reckon. These bowl projections, they keep changing. Like my mind when I go to the market. Can't decide what to buy.
Week 13 now. Time flies, don't it? Jerry Palm, he's still at it. Making his bowl projections. They got some tracker thing, too. Keeps track of who's in and who's out. Like counting sheep, I guess. Florida State, that's a name I heard. They're in the mix, I suppose. All these names, hard to keep them straight.
Next year, they say things will be different. Some bracket thing. Like a tournament, maybe. Jerry Palm, he's already thinking about it. Always planning ahead, that one. College football, it's a big deal, I guess. Lots of folks care about it. These bowl projections seem to be a big part of it.
They talk about wins. Six wins, at least. And some percentage, .500, they say. Lots of numbers. Makes my head spin. 82 teams, 41 games. That's a lot of football. And they pick the teams based on where they are, and who they played before. Don't want the same teams playing each other all the time, I suppose. Makes sense.
Fresno State, that's another name. They went through a lot, but they made it. Bowl eligible, they are. Good for them. Just keep swinging, they say. Like chopping wood, I guess. Just keep at it, and you'll get there eventually. 12-team playoff, I hear them talk about now. Sounds like a whole lot of something, but I can't be sure.
- Gotta have at least six wins to be bowl eligible.
- They need 82 teams for all them bowl games.
- That Jerry Palm, he sure knows a lot about this stuff.
This Jerry Palm fella, he's like the old rooster back home, always crowing about something. This time, it's them bowl projections. Seems important to some folks, these games. Lots of fuss about it all. Me, I just like watching the game sometimes. It's exciting, I suppose. But all these rules and numbers, it's a bit much for me.
They got all these fancy words for it, too. National Semi-final, bowl eligible, Big 12 Conference. Sounds like a different language sometimes. But I guess it's all part of the fun. Just like them church socials, lots of folks talking and having a good time. These bowl projections, they give folks something to talk about, I reckon.
That Jerry Palm, he's right in the middle of it all. Like a busybody at a quilting bee, always got something to say. He seems to know what he's talking about, though. So folks listen to him. And these college boys, they sure do love their football. They play hard, and they want to win. Just like us folks, we work hard, and we want to have a good life.
Well, I guess that's all I know about them bowl projections. It's a lot to take in, ain't it? That Jerry Palm, he could talk your ear off about it, I'm sure. But me, I got other things to worry about. Like getting them eggs collected and making sure that old fox don't get into the henhouse. You take care now, ya hear?
