3. Oregon St. vs Boise St. - OSU
4. West Virginia vs LSU - LSU
5. Miami (FL) vs. Pittsburgh - Miami
And the oddball game this week is:
6. New Mexico vs. UNLV - UNLV
Old Bag of Man is here to say
ReplyDelete1) No brainer. OSU will win this one easily and EMU continues their losing streak.
2) I'm not a believer in either team. But since I have to pick one, I'll go with S. Carolina.
3) Boise St. only because it's too easy to get up for a "big" game when you play nobody.
4) LSU. WVU is a little overrated.
5) Miami. Nothing good comes from Pittsburgh.
6) UNLV. Tark will be on the sideline biting a towel.
Buckeye Cock has risen to the occasion once again. After the Big 10 being in the spotlight last week, it's on to the SEC this week. Headlined by Alabama/Arkansas, the Tide is definitely one SEC team that I would not want to face in the championship game. On to the picks:
ReplyDelete1. OSU - No brainer here. I got to see the mascot brawl in person last week and even though I have no idea about EMU's mascot, Brutus will be ready this week.
2. South Carolina - Auburn is overrated and should be 1-2 for the year, not undefeated. I have to support my fellow Cocks, you know.
3. Boise State - Even though the Beavers painted their practive field blue, it won't help.
4. LSU - WVU is my hometown team but they suck on the road and will not win at LSU at night.
5. Miami - Whoever made their schedule needs to stop smoking the good stuff. No, Harry Chance didn't make the schedule. I like this Miami team and even though they had all those picks against the Buckeyes, I still think that Harris is pretty good.
6. UNLV - And the random coin flip goes to . . .

Carl's (Hopefully) Stone Cold Lead Pipe Locks of the Century (of the Week):
ReplyDeleteOSU def. Eastern Michigan: A game involving a directional Michigan team that's NOT an oddball game?!?! Does the devil's pitchfork have ice crystals on it?!?! Are there pigs with wings flying in the sky?!?!
Auburn def. South Carolina: South Carolina is another one of those teams (Clemson, Pittsburgh) that's ALWAYS overrated in the beginning of the season. One victory over a fellow overrated SEC team (Georgia) does not a successful football season make.
Boise St. def. Oregon St.: I was surprised to see the spread (17 points) for this game. I really don't think the Broncos will cover, but they'll win straight up. Hahaha, Beavers.
LSU def. WVU: The hardest game of the entire week to pick. Just can't pick against the Tigas in a non-conference Sat. night home game. A Saturday night game at Tiger Stadium is definitely on Carl's college football bucket list.
Miami (FL) def. Pittsburgh: As previously mentioned, Pittsburgh is one of those teams that's ALWAYS overrated at the beginning of the season. Even though Miami really should have lost by at least 25 points to OSU, Carl thinks they regain some respect with a win at the Panther Den.
And the oddball game this week is:
UNLV def. New Mexico: For the record, Carl is 11-4 in the "regular" games, 0-3 in the oddball games. All of these friggin' teams should just do away with their craptastic football teams. Barring anything unforeseen, just expect Carl to pick the favorite in each oddball game the rest of the season.
OSU kills EMU - Our second string cheerleaders would beat this ‘fast and straight ahead’ Michigan directional which has lost something in the neighborhood of 14 straight.
ReplyDeleteSide note – my next-door neighbor Ben (the cheerleader carrying the flag with Brutus during the OU Mascot assault) has offered autographs for anybody interested.
South Carolina cock-blocks Auburn – Auburn just went the distance last week in an emotionally draining and physically disabling game. Big letdown week 4 for the War Eagles.
Boise State blue-balls Oregon State – Every Boise State fan and supporter should be forced to sit next to that fat guy on the plane who takes up 1.5 seats.
LSU scratches WVU – Home game, traditional SEC powerhouse, most active alumni on NFL rosters. At least one of these intangibles will allow the Tigers to beat down the Mountaineers.
Miami disarms Pitt – Because I’m an OSU homer I want Miami to be good the rest of the year.
UNLV radiates New Mexico – I’m thinking about getting coins engraved weekly with the oddball matchups on either side.

ReplyDelete1. W: OSU - I had a full ride scholarship to Eastern Michigan to swim, and I was just OK... If that was any indication of their football recruiting, OSU should have no problem!
2. W: Auburn - still don't like game cocks!
3. W: Boise St. - I'm not jumping on any band wagon, but I don't see them loosing (any) game. We should invite them to the shoe for some big boy football! Their team bus and training room are probably similar to the Tribe's in Major League!
4. W: LSU - nite game
5. W: Pittsburgh - Miami did not impress me at all
6. W: UNLV. - ??? Is it possible both teams will be 0-4 after this game?
1. Ohio State over Eastern Michigan - Prior could be done after 1 quarter again.
ReplyDelete2. Auburn over South Carolina - I'm not buying South Carolina yet.
3. Oregon State over Boise State - Now that Boise's a favorite, it's there turn to come out on the wrong side of an upset.
4. LSU over West Virginia - This would have been a better matchup at the time when it was scheduled, but it could still be interesting.
5. Miami over Pittsburgh - Oh, I don't know. This one just feels like Miami.
6. UNLV over New Mexico - I do, however, know that there are 0 good teams in New Mexico.
1. OSU - look for a 50+ score by the Buckeyes.
ReplyDelete2. SC
3. Boise state
4. LSU
5. Miami
6. New Mexico
Pat Head's Picks:
ReplyDelete1. OSU over Eastern Michigan. When was the last time OSU lost to a Michigan directional school?
2. Tigers over Gamecocks. I'm going w/ home field advantage on this one. You know the SEC ain't so good if South Carolina is ranked 12. Hopefully the Ole Ball Coach will throw his hat a time or two!
3. Boise St. over Oregon State. I'm not sure it will be the blow out folks are projecting, but I still think Boise will win.
4. LSU over WVU. Although LSU has not been great the last few years, it will be tough to play in Tiger Stadium at night. WVU will be tiger meat.
5. Miami (FL) over Pittsburgh. Although I hate all Florida teams and I'm rooting for Pitt, I think Miami will pull out the win.
6. UNLV over New Mexico.

Relatively easy week. Last week I knew was going to be difficult. Fortuately, no one had a 6-0 week to really climb the standings.
I have always thought that if the worst record in the panel for the week is above .500 (example 4-2), then the week's picks were too easy.
If the best record is just slightly above .500 (example 4-2) the picks were challenging and wisely selected, earning Moderator Neff mad props.
I was shocked by MSU's fake field goal.
Hopefully no one picked Pittsburgh. They will always let you down.
