Week 10
1. OSU vs. Illinois
OSU (CLEATUS, GREEK, BATMAN, OLD BAG, PHILLY, GUAPO, DEERE, SPAM, FUNK, XBOX, SHADY ) Illinois ( )
CLEATUS- This is merely a warm-up for the biggest game in college football history on Nov 18th.
GREEK- when your biggest win of the entire season is over Michigan State, um, yea...my mother always taught me if you don't have
anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. And my mother was always right. Well, at least right now she is.
OLD BAG- Just another speed bump on the way to the national championship game. No team should have their team name be a shortened version of the school name.

GUAPO- The Daily Show was at Ohio State this week proving once again that we kick ass.
SPAM- spamsandwichsan is back, and after recovering a massive saki and halloween hangover, he is ready for some college fooseball!
FUNK- I conceded last week to a coworker that if you are not cheering for Ohio State, our games are pretty much unwatchable. This one's no different
2. West Virginia vs. Louisville
West Virginia (GREEK, OLD BAG, PHILLY, DEERE, SPAM, FUNK ) Louisville (CLEATUS, BATMAN, GUAPO, XBOX, SHADY)
CLEATUS- Considering WV's hardest opponent to date was the Helen Keller School for the Blind, they don't know what it takes to win against a "good" team. The adjective "good" that I used to describe Louisville is a relative term since their most difficult opponent to date was Criminal U. ( a.k.a. Miami). These 2 teams aren't nearly as good as the 10 teams ranked below them.
GREEK- the winner of this game WILL be playing the winner of the Ohio State-Michigan game in the BCS title game. Mountaineers
fans, pack your coonskin caps, second cousins, 6 packs of Schlitz, musket rifles, and suntan lotion, because after Thursday night, you can start packing up your 1985 Ford pick-ups for the trip to Arizona!
OLD BAG- Finally the Big East has to play someone. I don't think either team could keep up with OSU but if I had to pick one team it would be West Virgina.

GUAPO- WVU is an overrated, one dimensional team.
FUNK- I don't think the Cardinals can stop Pat White and Steve Slaton from running the ball, and that is enough for WVU.
3. LSU vs. Tennessee
LSU (XBOX ) Tennessee (CLEATUS, GREEK, BATMAN, OLD BAG, PHILLY, GUAPO, DEERE, SPAM, FUNK, SHADY )
CLEATUS- Do the Tennessee colors remind anyone else of those orange cream popsicles? Mmmmmmm!
GREEK- I really like that song "Tennessee" by Arrested Development from the early '90s. What ever happened to that group? They were really good.
OLD BAG- Once again the SEC is going to beat each other up. Tennessee and their droopy dog mascot (not sure what that has to do with a volunteer) will hold off LSU.

GUAPO- It's the overrated average teams like LSU, Georgia, and Arkansas that make everyone think the SEC is so good.
FUNK- Based on the pre-season outlook, I can't believe I'm making this pick, but Tennessee is better than expected and LSU is much worse.
4. Boston College vs. Wake Forest
Boston College (CLEATUS, GREEK, BATMAN, OLD BAG, PHILLY, GUAPO, DEERE, SPAM, FUNK, XBOX, SHADY ) Wake Forest ( )
GREEK- ok, normally I would be picking Wake Forest because my best friend (since we were both 5 years old) is currently a first year MBA student at Wake Forest. But since my unfortunate drop from first place in the Guest Panel standings, I've got to go with my mind, not with my heart. Sorry Jon, will you ever forgive me buddy??? Please???
OLD BAG- Does Wake Forest still have Tim Duncan? It won't matter, BC will win this one.

GUAPO- Demon Deacons, what an awesome team name.
FUNK- Not so fast, Wake Forest!
5. Oklahoma vs. Texas A&M
Oklahoma (CLEATUS, GREEK, GUAPO, SPAM, FUNK, SHADY ) Texas A&M (BATMAN, OLD BAG, PHILLY, DEERE, XBOX )
CLEATUS- Adrian who? Didn't look like the Sooners needed him last weekend with their backup RB gaining 162 yards on the ground.
GREEK- I really don't know how to read/pick his game. A&M is 8-1, but their biggest win is over a Missouri team that was
the classic first half of the season chique pick. But Oklahoma's best player s currently on the sideline for the rest of the season. The determining actor? A&M barely beat Missouri at home, and Oklahoma destroyed the same team n the road. Using differential equation analysis, that equals a big win for the Sooners.
OLD BAG- Without Peterson this game becomes much closer and I think Texas A&M can hold off the Sooners (once again, what the deuce is a sooner?).

GUAPO- Sorry Aggies, not this time.
FUNK- Oklahoma is somehow still rolling.
and the oddball game this week...
6. Rice vs. UTEP
Rice (DEERE ) UTEP (CLEATUS. GREEK, BATMAN, OLD BAG, PHILLY, GUAPO, SPAM, FUNK, XBOX, SHADY )
CLEATUS- Joe, did you have to go out and buy an expansion pack for your NCAA Xbox game so it would include these teams? Who would play Xbox and actually choose to be UTEP!?
GREEK- have you seen the UTEP logo? It is really sweet lookin'. And yes, that is the sole basis for this pick. A cool looking miner
swinging a pick-ax, what more could you ever want in a logo?!

OLD BAG- I remember the 60 points we put up on Rice about 8 years ago. I'm gonna go with UTEP.
GUAPO- Does anyone know what UTEP is an acronym for?
FUNK- The unofficial poll says I am 12-2 picking oddball games. Could we get a few more, please? I didn't run the numbers on SEC games, but I'm pretty sure I suck at those

Thanks for "Pick"ing UTEP guys!! A little history for you. UTEP stands for the University of Texas at El Paso, formerly Texas Western. Yes, that Texas Western with the legendary Don Haskins as coach and the starting five that changed the face of college athletics. Come on now, you should have known that!! I know it's a different sport but didn't Jack Nicklaus dot the "i" last week?
