Pat Head says: Here comes the poop train...
ReplyDelete1. USC over Arizona State: last time I picked USC I got screwed. However, I'll take a chance with them again. USC will snuff out Arizona State's hopes of winning the Pat 10 and their shot at the Championship game.
2. LSU over Arkansas: no matter how much you OSU fans want LSU to lose this one, I don't believe it will happen. LSU is playing at home and Arkansas is not that good. Obviously I know a lot about football, as is evidenced by my stellar performance last week.
3. West Virginia beats Connecticut: I want WVU to lose, I really do. I'm just not sure this team is going to lose to UCONN at home.
4. Missouri beats Kansas and screws up their perfect season, just to return the favor Oklahoma gave to them.
And the oddball games this week:
5. Marshall: Marshall again! Geeze Joe, I think this is the SECOND time you've had them on the list.
6. Utah St.: Utah State had their first win last week...they are on a roll!
Dr. Funkenstein says:
ReplyDelete1. Arizona State over USC - I'm a little surprised I'm making this pick, but I'll take the Devils at home on the short week.
2. LSU over Arkansas - LSU could falter in the SEC Championship, but not this week.
3. West Virginia over UConn - It's looking to me like a trip to New Orleans for the Mountaineers.
4. Missouri over Kansas - I promise to finally admit that Kansas might be good if they can win this one... until the Big XII Championship Game.
5. Marshall over UAB - The Blazers have lost 5 in a row. Make it 6.
6. Utah State over Idaho - How cool of a team name is Vandals?
1. USC vs. Arizona State (Thursday Game)
ReplyDeleteW-Arizona State: I can't name one player on this team, but they're ranked higher than USC so I have to pick them.
2. Arkansas vs. LSU (Friday Game)
W-LSU: I really hope I'm wrong with this pick.
3. Connecticut vs. West Virginia
W-West Virginia: See comment from previous game.
4. Missouri vs. Kansas
W-Missouri: Kansas is going down, which means Hawaii will be the only unbeaten team in the nation after this weekend.
5. UAB vs. Marshall
W-UAB: Marshall will play like a thundering turd.
6. Utah St. vs. Idaho
W-Utah St: I have zero reasons to pick Utah St over Idaho.
Batman,
ReplyDeleteProps: everyone on the panel except me for having faith in the Buckeyes.
I don't think there are going to be any upsets this week in our picks contest.
USC
There is a nice article about Pete Carroll on ESPN.com. Just read it this afternoon. No way they lose 3 games in 1 season...too talented and too well coached.
LSU
We are not going to have a situation like we did a few years ago when Kansas State shocked Oklahoma. LSU will dominate
WV
Solid team.
Kan
This is going to be a great game. I think it will be the first Big 12 game that I watch this year.
Marshall
Idaho
I think this will be my downfall. I feel like there are certain teams that won't win for me. It strikes me that Cincinnati, Utah State, Rice, Michigan have cost me most of my losses this season!
Man Getting Hit by Football says (over a mouthful of turkey):
ReplyDeleteArizona State def. USC: All great teams have their "hiccup" years...Ohio State in 2004, New England Patriots in 2005, and USC this year. John David Booty, you have yet to deliver your call. I'm oh so witty.
LSU def. Arkansas: Les Miles, in his weekly press conference, pronounced the name of his opponent this week as "R-Kansas." And the University of Michigan wants this man to take Lloyd Carr's place as head coach. Why am I not surprised?
West Virginia def. WVU: As much as I want UConn to win, and as great a season as they've had, come on now folks, let's be serious; the state of Connecticut is good for 2 things: great college basketball, and rich Ivy League kids who blow $200,000 of their parents hard-earned money in four years.
Kansas def. Missouri: Did ANYONE predict that this game would have national title implications at the beginning of the season? Even though the Jayhawks haven't played anyone of consequence this season, you can't argue with their stats. And besides, if they're trailing in the 4th quarter, their head coach Mangino will eat Chase Daniel and Mizzou will lose the game.
Marshall def. UAB: So do the weekly oddball games inherently involve crappy teams? Apparently so.
Utah St. def. Idaho: Utah State is looking to build upon their big win at New Mexico State last week, and end the season with two straight wins...after 10 losses to start out the season.
spamsandwichsan says...
ReplyDelete1. osu... wait?!? there's no big ten championship game... but if there was, lloyd car would announce his retirement from retirement after what would be the 2nd osu victory this season! now... back to normal football...
1. usc... hopefully they won't take the same turn that notre dame took in the off season.
2. arkansas... not to be confused with yourkansas, or any other kansas. what the hell is a kansas?? some shitty team that played a shitty schedule to get a shitty undefeated record? a kansas sounds pretty shitty to me!
3. WV... even though i want them to loose, after putting up a solid game against cincinnatti, i believe they will continue to win... even if most people in their home town still point at airplanes when they fly overhead (copied from a radio address with Bo Biafra in regards to michigan's loss to appalation state)
4. kansas... even though i don't know what one is, i would like for them to knock missouri from their tower.
5. UAB... which stands for u're alwyas bitchin... bitchin about going to all those football games you play in high-school sized statiums for free and leaving before halftime, and when your team looses, you start bitchin about how many wins your team had back in the 1920's... wait... that last part is about michigan... sorry about the confusion!
6. utah st... even though their univeristy is not graced with a capital The before their name, they may still be able to perform (fellatio) on the football field...
