[Condem]

6. C'mon, A la.

Don't leave us dangling. My guess is Iowa coach Ferentz announces he's going to the pro's and Stoop takes over at his alma mater.
Not really.

5. Picks...

For Real
Arkansas +5.5 @ Ol' Miss -- Arkansas
Penn State -4 @ Michigan -- Michigan
Oregon -7.5 @ Washington -- Oregon
Tennessee +16.5 @ Alabama -- 10-a-sea
Boston College + 9.5 @ Notre Dame -- Notre Dame
Iowa -2 @ Michigan State -- Iowa
TCU -1 @ BYU -- TCU
Texas -14 @ Mizzou -- Mizzou

For Fun
UConn +7 @ WVU -- UConn. I know, not likely. But I'd like to think that in the wake of Jasper Howard's murder that the team would come together and beat a top conference opponent. Too bad this isn't the Sinsinnasty game, I'd love to see the Huskies take out all of their pain and frustration on the Bearcats.

10. Hey, you could do worse

I'm proof of that :rofl:

I'd love to see Illinois win, but I think they're going 0-fer in the Big 10 this year ...

[fishwax]

Arkansas
Penn State
Oregon
Tennessee
Iowa
BYU
Mizzou

[Condem]

12. fishwax....you're missing the ND-BC game.

I'd hate to see you miss out on going 8-0.

[fishwax]

13. whoops -- thanks for bringing that to my attention

I'll go with Notre Dame.

[happyiowan]

14. Every week I get worse

Hawgs (god, they're a ball to watch)
Penn State (I love that commercial with Jo Pa)
Huskies (much as I love waterfowl, dogs are higher on the food chain)
'Bama (my guilty pleasure)
Boston College (one day I'll tell you a story about an ND fan slamming my door so hard on his way out after an ND loss to BC that things literally fell off the walls. The punchline.....he was on his way to mass.)
Iowa (ever hopeful)
TCU (but overall I distrust the religious match-ups)
Texas (Missouri will forevermore be located in Missouri. Problem.)

For fun and for the love of it - UConn, Miami, LSU, AZ State
