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.
-When Penn State travels to Purdue, the combined age of the coaches will involve a lot of zeros and one of those to the power of 10 thingies. This poses a serious problem for our sideline reporter, because older people can't hear so good. Given that, we put the number of times the two coaches will say, "huh?" at +/-10 during their halftime interviews. Also, we'll give a straight up bet on if either says, "you know, women didn't dress like that in my day."
-Auburn visits Vanderbilt this weekend, and the College GameDay crew will be there. Vanderbilt is considered the "smart" school in the SEC. So, we'll put the over/under on the number of signs with a series of ones and zeros followed by "LOLZ!!!" at 10.
-Speaking of smart schools, Duke faces Georgia Tech this weekend. Pocket protectors will be out in force! Georgia Tech is averaging about 46,000 fans at home games, so naturally we put the number of pocket protectors at +/-45,999. Hey, some engineers still do it with a slide ruler.
Quick Hitters:
-Florida needs a big win, and Arkansas looks to be the moist cupcake they need. It took 13 weeks last year, but we'll give a straight up bet that Bobby Petrino will call his agent sometime in the third quarter with orders to find a new job.

-Before the season, the Ohio State vs. Wisconsin game looked to be the battle for the Big 10 title. It might still be for the title, but using the word battle seems a bit harsh considering the way the two teams have played this year. We'll give a straight up bet that at some point Brent Musburger will let slip, "who's the idiot that put this game on in prime time?" Bonus if you also wager that Kirk will hand him a beer and pat him on the back.
-When Western Kentucky visits Virginia Tech, these two are gonna fight. Who you got?
