*********5TH ANNUAL DU COLLEGE FOOTBALL POOL: WEEK 9*********

Another tough week, gamers. And I surmise it's just going to get worse with these spreads. Congrats to anakie and happy for taking the week at 7-6...brings tears to me eyes to see us floundering like this. Okay. No Thursday games. So in by Saturday before first kick. Once again, some very interesting match-ups...getting to the time of year where you have to go with the Top 25. But it looks like an Alabama-Oregon title game. Can't see either losing. But a shout to the Missouri Tigers! Wish we had them in the B1G!! Had our shot!!

W/ no home internet and I'm busy, I don't have much time for picks. I like to compare the stats of the match-ups and that is a little time consuming. I could just pick them but there may be days where I don't make the Thursday deadline so it's probably easier for everybody if I pull out.
