Week 11
1. OSU vs. Northwestern
OSU (CLEATUS, BATMAN, GREEK, DEERE, GUAPO, OLD BAG, FUNK, PHILLY, SPAM, SHADY, XBOX ) Northwestern ( )
CLEATUS- As long as the Buckeye team from the 1st half of this past weekend's game shows up I think we'll be alright. They need to be a MUCH better team next weekend if they even want to be competitive against Michigan.
BATMAN- My picks
GREEK- for whatever reason though, those Poindexters from Northwestern always give the Bucks trouble. But here's to those Wildcats being our bosses after we graduate. They got us on that one.
GUAPO- Let's try and stay focused this week, shall we?OLD BAG- Seeing as the Old Bag of Man was absolutely off his rocker with his picks last week, I'll be like my pal Joe Pa (born in same year) and return with some more picks. Last week was scary...real scary. But I don't think Tressel will let the Buckeyes forget what happened 2 years ago up there. The Buckeyes will go back to pre-November form and win easily.
FUNK- Dr. Funkenstein will personally help bring the funk to Ryan Field Saturday afternoon. The Buckeyes will wake back up after a week off and take care of business.
SHADY- This game is actually kind of scary considering what happened to Iowa last week @ Iowa. Tressel will have them ready.
2. Louisville vs. Rutgers
Louisville (BATMAN, GREEK, DEERE, OLD BAG, FUNK, PHILLY, SHADY, XBOX ) Rutgers (CLEATUS, GUAPO, SPAM )
CLEATUS- One class not offered at Louisville is "Defense 101". Look for Rutgers to beat the HIGHLY over-rated Louisville team. I hate teams with cake schedules who think they deserve a shot at a national championship. Louisville might be a good fit for the Chick-fil-A Bowl, but that's about all the credit I will give them.
BATMAN- last
GREEK- as much as I'd like to pick Rutgers, a team from New Jersey just shouldn't be allowed to win a college football conference title. It'd be like Ross Perot winning the presidency in 1992; it just wouldn't be right.
GUAPO- It would be easier to take the Big East seriously if they didn't play all of their big games on Thursday.
OLD BAG- They say the winner of this game will get the other BCS championship nod. I don't think either team really deserves it but I have to pick one and Louisville will put Rutgers in their place.
FUNK- Rutgers's defense will keep them in this game, but ultimately their one-dimensional offense will not be enough to take down the Cards. I'd love to see it, though.
SHADY- I don't really want them to win but OSU has the best chance in the championship game against them than anybody else.
3. Minnesota vs. Michigan State
Minnesota (CLEATUS, BATMAN, GREEK, GUAPO, OLD BAG, FUNK, PHILLY, SPAM ) Michigan State (DEERE, SHADY, XBOX )
BATMAN- week
GREEK- poor John L. Smith, what did he ever do to deserve his recent pink slip?! On that note, yes, you all may now call me Miss Cleo, because I can predict the future. Now, if I could only make the correct picks to reclaim first place...
GUAPO- The only team more dead in the water this year is Miami.
OLD BAG- Minnesota scores 0 points one week and 63 the next. I'll cut the difference and say they'll put 31.5 points up against Michigan State and win.
FUNK- Wow, even if I was a degenerate gambler who felt the need to bet on every college football game, I would still pass on anything involving the Spartans. They definitely have the talent to win this game, but I'll go with the Gophers to remind State why they fired John L (as if they had forgotten).
SHADY- Drew Stanton will show up at one of his last home games ever.
4. Tennessee vs. Arkansas
Tennessee (CLEATUS, DEERE, GUAPO, FUNK, PHILLY, SPAM ) Arkansas (BATMAN, GREEK, OLD BAG, SHADY, XBOX )
BATMAN- were
GREEK- the Razorbacks know what's at stake in this game, and there will be no letdown after their close win vs. South Carolina. Not to mention a Razorback could kick a Volunteer's a** any day of the week.
GUAPO- I apologize for my anti-SEC comments last week. While the SEC may have the best group of good teams this year, itdoesn't mean they have the best team in the country.
OLD BAG- Ar-Kansas is playing well, Tennessee I thought was playing well but they burned me last week so I'm going with Ar-Kansas.
FUNK- What is this, the Ohio State and Tennessee guest panel? I think we've picked the UT game every week. And do I have to remind you that I am NOT good at picking SEC games?
SHADY- I'm calling it right now, the razorbacks will win the SEC.
and the oddball game this week
5. UNLV vs. San Diego State
UNLV (DEERE, SPAM ) San Diego State (CLEATUS, BATMAN, GREEK, GUAPO, OLD BAG, FUNK, PHILLY, SHADY, XBOX )
CLEATUS- Hey, El Guapo! Which school do you think has the most Mexicans?
BATMAN- an embarrassmentGREEK- why would anyone in San Diego EVER attend this game?! You live in the nicest, prettiest major city in the United States, and you go to a huge party school. Yea, let's go see our 1-7 football team play a 1-8 team. That sounds like a fun time to spend a Saturday afternoon. GUAPO- My flag football team would beat either of these guys.OLD BAG- Is the Tark going to be on the sidelines chewing towels? San Diego St. will win over Grandma-ma's Runnin Rebs.
FUNK- Aztecs eat Rebels.
SHADY- They both suck but I give the edge to the team that has won a Mt. West game
1 comment:
In defense of Joe's choice to include Tennessee on the guest panel again this week: "Saturday's game at 11th-ranked Arkansas marks Tennessee's fifth game this season against a team ranked in the top 15 at the time of competition."
