Cogito Ergo Cogito Exclusive Press Release📰

---

Announcement:

I, Jake Hunter, Editor-In-Chief of Cogito Ergo Cogito, am formally announcing that I will, from this day forward, be acting simply as a fan of college football and not a singular team in particular. I simply want what is best for the sport and for the kids.

My previous arrangement with the University of Iowa Hawkeye Football team has had a significant breach in the terms we had informally agreed to, and my legal, financial, medical, and spiritual health teams believe that it is not healthy for me to continue to with the partnership that previously existed. This change in the situation is binding and permanent for a minimum of one week, with the potential for reconsiderations depending on actions that must be taken within the next two quarters (of the football game against Wisconsin). Until and unless said actions are taken, I will be acting as an impartial advocate and booster of the sport of college football and for the student athletes that play it.

Any questions can be directed toward the comment section and will be answered at my convenience.

What The Experts Are Saying About Their Picks

Will Hunter-Former State Champion High School Football Player

About Ohio State versus Penn State:

"Penn State's chances of making the playoff were greatly damaged a few weeks ago in the close loss on the road at Iowa, and they are still reeling from the injury to Sean Clifford and the second loss to Illinois. Ohio State looks poised for another playoff push after making some play-calling changes mid-season. This game looks like a true test of how far they've come since their confusing Week 1-3 performances."

About Rutgers versus Illinois:

"Illinois pulled off the historic upset in State College last weekend. Expect them to be riding the high. Rutgers is trying to climb their way back into bowl contention, and the road runs through Champaign."

Josh Hunter-Coach of Multiple National Champion Teams (on the NCAA 2013 video game)

About Ohio State versus Penn State:

"Penn State's coming out of a rough three-week stretch including both real and mental losses to foes such as Iowa, Purdue, and Illinois. Expect them to continue tanking the rest of the season to pick up a better coach in the offseason."

About Georgia versus Florida:

"Gators by a million; it's about time the Fraud-dawgs got exposed by real competition."

Taylor Hunter-Daughter of High School Football Coach

About North Carolina versus Notre Dame:

"I don't like North Carolina's uniforms, so I refuse to pick them ever."

About SMU versus Houston:

"I have done zero research about any of these teams in order to pick my winners. I went solely off of my gut and random thoughts I have on each team. For example, I picked Houston only because Jake had a really good Houston team on his NCAA 13 game that I watched him play as. Will any of these picks be correct? Maybe, but not because I have insider knowledge."

Jake Hunter-Winner of Even More National Championships on NCAA 2013 Than Josh

About Iowa versus Wisconsin:

"This pick is solely about emotionally-bracing myself for the weekend. If my Hawkeyes win, I get to celebrate a momentous win. If they lose, I get one of my picks right. And that might honestly be more important to me at this stage of my life."

About Ole Miss versus Auburn:

"Matt Corral is allegedly nursing some form of injury and Auburn has gotten better as the season's progressed. Still, I think the Rebels have a more complete team on both sides of the ball despite their defense being mediocre at times this year. If Corral is playing at even 70-percent of his normal ability, I think Ole Miss handles the Tigers. Bo Nix is still fraudulent regardless of his improvement over the past year. It's about time he bungles a game away for Auburn."

Each Expert's Picks Record So Far This Season:

Will: 0-0

Taylor: 0-0

Josh: 1-0 (correctly predicted Coastal Carolina's first loss, none of his other picks count)

Jake: 0-1 (wrote an article about Iowa needing more national respect only to have them lose 24-7 at home against Purdue the very next week)
