Guest Panel Week 12 (OSU-Michigan Week) Predictions

Week 12

 

1. Michigan vs. OSU

Michigan ( )  OSU (CLEATUS, GREEK, BATMAN, OLD BAG, SHADY, GUAPO, SPAM, FUNK, PHILLY, DEERE, XBOX )

CLEATUS- BIGGEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME IN HISTORY!  Look for this to be a thriller that may come down to the last few seconds of regulation play.  I don't even think I will be this excited for my wedding day or the birth of my first child.

GREEK- a wise man once said, "he who goes to bed with an itchy butt, wakes up with a smelly hand." On that basis, I'm going with the Buckeyes. The wise man shall remain anonymous. If you're gonna be at the game on Saturday, look for me wearing nothing but shirt cuffs, cuff links, a scarlet and grey speedo, and a smile. And of course eating a gyro.

BATMAN- hard to pick against OSU at this juncture, Michigan will keep it close.  It will come down to who makes the mistake.  My money is that it will not be Troy Smith.

OLD BAG- Do I even have to say. Only Hurricane Ditka has a chance at beating the Buckeyes this year.

SHADY- Glendale here we come.  We'll see you there, Arkansas! :-o

GUAPO- El Guapo couldn't possibly pick any other way.
FUNK- Inside sources tell me that the final score will be 41-7.  That sounds a bit high to me, but who am I to argue with results?

 

2. Virginia Tech vs. Wake Forest

Virginia Tech (BATMAN, DEERE, XBOX )  Wake Forest (CLEATUS, GREEK, OLD BAG, SHADY, GUAPO, SPAM, FUNK, PHILLY )

CLEATUS- Wake Forest "Demon Deacons"….there's a religious oxymoron if I've ever heard one before.  That's like having a mascot called the "Satanic Rabbis", "Virgin-hater Muhammads", or even "Intelligent Scientologists".   

GREEK- we've all been sleeping on the Demon Deacons the entire season. Today, I wake from my slumber. I will then smoke many RJ Reynolds products in honor of the Wake Forest victory.

OLD BAG- A year ago it was no contest, now the roles have reversed (like my raincoat). Wake Forest will win this one.

SHADY- Who would of think it?

GUAPO- A three pointer at the buzzer wins it for the Deacs

FUNK- Can the Deacs really keep winning?  They were quite impressive at Florida State last week.

 

3. Maryland vs. Boston College

Maryland (GUAPO, SPAM, XBOX )  Boston College (CLEATUS, GREEK, BATMAN, OLD BAG, SHADY, FUNK, PHILLY, DEERE )

GREEK- an eagle fearing a turtle? Not bloody likely.

OLD BAG- In the upside down ACC, Maryland has a chance but BC will win this one.

SHADY- The turtle is overrate, then again, so is BC.

GUAPO- Fear the Turtle
SPAM- for drizzy aaron... whitey has let me down one to many times with bc

FUNK- I decided last weekend that Maryland should change from the Terrapins to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  That would work out better for the "Fear the Turtle" campaign.

 

4. Iowa vs. Minnesota

Iowa (CLEATUS, OLD BAG, SHADY, GUAPO, SPAM, FUNK, PHILLY, DEERE, XBOX ) Minnesota (GREEK, BATMAN )

CLEATUS- I hope I never travel to either of these states again. 

GREEK- Iowa lost to Northwestern. At home. I rest my case.

BATMAN- something is wrong with Iowa.

OLD BAG- Iowa wins a barnburner...no pun intended.

SHADY- Do you think Iowa might miss a bowl game?

GUAPO- Bucks should've played Wisconsin this year instead of Iowa.

FUNK- I actually want to take the Gophers in this game, but I feel like the Hawkeyes are way overdue to beat someone.

 

5. California vs. USC

California (OLD BAG, SHADY, GUAPO, FUNK, XBOX ) USC (CLEATUS, GREEK, BATMAN, SPAM, PHILLY, DEERE )

CLEATUS- In true Trojan fashion, they will "pull it out" just in time. 

GREEK- this game certainly lost a lot of intrigue with Cal's loss last weekend. How does a team lose to the "other" Stoops? I am
simply at a loss for words.

BATMAN- they are playing for a national championship and shouldn't lose this one

OLD BAG- We need California to win so there's my pick.

SHADY- I don't like USC

GUAPO- Cal was only looking ahead last week...I hope

FUNK- I decided a while ago that USC would lose to either Oregon or Cal, and since USC drubbed the Ducks last week, that means they lose to the Bears--although I'm not feeling quite as confident in that now.  I'm going with it anyway.

 

and the oddball game this week...

6. UCF vs. Tulane

UCF (CLEATUS, OLD BAG, PHILLY, DEERE )  Tulane (GREEK, BATMAN, SHADY, GUAPO, SPAM, FUNK, XBOX )

CLEATUS- My penny landed on heads, so I'm taking UCF.

GREEK- the first person to correctly explain to me what a "Green Wave" is, well, you win 1st prize in the "you have way too much time on your hands" contest.

OLD BAG- Let me know when this game becomes the best rivalry in the nation. UCF.

GUAPO- O'Leary will still mark this as a win on his resume

SPAM- tulane is the french word for 'our players have huge weiners,' so i have to go with them!

FUNK- Aha!  With no SEC games on this week's docket, I have a chance.  Of course, you had to pick an oddball game that defies my double secret oddball selection process.
