**************COLLEGE FOOTBALL: WEEK 14************** |
|
What's the old theme song from March Madness? This Is It, crooned by Michael McDonald. What better way to go into the last week. brendan and era are sep- erated by one game. And then a log jam in the middle. Several of us vying for the ignominy of last place. Man. 14 weeks about done. Week 13 was a stellar performance by a bunch. BamaFanLee went 13-2. First timer. brendan and Auggie come in with 12-3's. Championship weekend decides the regular season with a couple of hellacious spreads. I can't imagine losing the title on the Boise State - New Mexico game. Gawd. You can cut the tension with a knife. Best of luck to the two leaders. Remember. If you fuck up, you always have the 3rd Annual Bowl Extravagonzo, two weeks hence. Goes for the dregs at the bottom, also. Final festivities start Thursday night, so before kick. Friday features Auggie's alma mater in the MAC final. Pick well, pickers!
Thursday, December 1 West Virginia pick 'em @ South Florida
Friday, December 2 Northern Illinois -4.5 @ Ohio U (Ford Field, Detroit) UCLA +31.5 @ Oregon
Saturday, December 3 Southern Miss +13 @ Houston Georgia +13 @ LSU (Georgia Dome, Atlanta) Virginia Tech -7.5 @ Clemson (Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte) Michigan State +9 @ Wisconsin (Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis) Connecticut +10 @ Cincinnati Syracuse +11 @ Pittsburgh Iowa State +10.5 @ Kansas State UNLV +39 @ TCU Oklahoma +3.5 @ Oklahoma State Texas +2.5 @ Baylor New Mexico +48.5 @ Boise State BYU -7 @ Hawaii
Wow. Good fucking luck!!

1. Standings after Week 13 |
|
Okay. I fucked up. The OSU-Michigan should have been OSU +8.5 not -8.5 The only fair thing to do was give everybody a win. So, Merry Christmas! Only 3 players took OSU so it had very little effect on the standings. Scores Texas 27 - Texas A&M 25 (Texas +7.5) Nebraska 20 - Iowa 7 (Iowa +10.5) Houston 48 - Tulsa 16 (Houston -3.5) LSU 41 - Arkansas 17 (Arkansas +14) West Virginia 21 - Pitt 20 (Pitt +10.5) Georgia 31 - Georgia Tech 17 (Georgia -5.5) Michigan 40 - Ohio State 34 (OSU -8.5) **Should have been +8.5 Alabama 42 - Auburn 14 (Bama -19.5) Virginia Tech 38 - Virginia 0 (VT -5.5) Wisconsin 45 - Penn State 7 (PSU +14.5) Florida State 21 - Florida 7 (FSU -3) South Carolina 34 - Clemson 13 (Clemson +2.5) Oklahoma 26 - Iowa State 6 (ISU +29) Stanford 28 - Notre Dame 14 (ND +7) USC 50 - UCLA 0 (UCLA +16.5)
Standings brendan 110-82 (12-3) Era Vet 109-83 (10-5) enuegii 102-90 (7-8) Auggie 101-91 (12-3) a la iz 101-91 (10-5) GusBob 101-91 (9-6) lazarus 101-91 (9-6) joey 100-92 (7-8) happy 98-94 (11-4) RT Atl 98-94 (10-5) Condem 96-96 (10-5) Fishwax 94-98 (9-6) Lib_Dog 92-100 (10-5)
Redbear went 8-7 and stands at 87-76. First timer BamaFanLee went 13-2. My advice is to play again, Bama.

2. I can't wait for this disastrous season to be over... |
|
That's right, a spoiled Sooners fan complaining about a 2 loss season (so far, but who knows on Sunday). This season seemed doomed from the death of Austin Box to the back-to-back losses of Whaley and Broyles. What a mess. I'm wondering if we'll change out some coaches. Anyway, my picks.

3. We'll take Stoops if you're getting rid of him, a la. |
|
After all, he is an Iowa grad. He'd just be coming home. I expect after Urban, a lot of very good coaches are coming our way. Mullin is next. Penn State bound.

4. It's weird not being in Norman... |
|
and missing out on the aftermath of the loss to Baylor. But I listen to the local sports dudes from Norman on the computer when I can. I can't get a read on the mood there. I suspect there are some folks who really want Venables to go. OU had an amazing defense. They failed when the team needed them.
Who knows what OU'll end up with in the end. Have to wait and see.

Wow...I'm surprised that there are not one, not two, but THREE Big East contests in the picks this week. And those are all the games the Big East is playing this week.
