And we are down to eight, that's great!

Are you eligible for some December football?

As we near the end of the calendar year, it's time once more to celebrate the world's most exciting football tournament - the NCAA College Cup!

We are down to the quarterfinals and we have some great matchups - Wake Forest against Stanford, Clemson-Maryland, BC-Syracuse And Akron-Creighton. Let's break down the matchups.

No. 1 Wake v. No. 8 Stanford

We will pick the Cardinal in an upset in this one. Jordan Morris scored a brace last weekend for Stanford and Jurgen Klinsmann's favourite son will help Stanford take this one.

No. 2 Clemson v. No. 10 Maryland.

These former ACC rivals are meeting at Clemson, where low ticket sales have the school deciding to allow people in for free with a football or basketball ticket. We like the Terps in an upset since we never bet against Sasho Cirovski.

No. 4 Akron v. No. 12 Creighton

The Big East champion Bluejays have been a fraud all season and knocked off UNC despite a 21-9 disadvantage in shots. Jared Embick is the coach of the Zips and a better coach than Jurgen Klinsmann so we like him in this Midwestern matchup.

Boston College v. No. 6 Syracuse

This is the surprise matchup of this round, with the Orange never reaching the Elite Eight before while the Eagles are here for only the third time and have never gone further. We like a 2-2 draw and Syracuse to win on penalty kicks!
