Rep Betting College Football Style

[theanalogkid]

How would everyone feel about picking 5 decent games we will predict the winners of. those who win, get rep. Just like guessing the preview fig, but this could have multiple winners. Example of this if it were going on this week:

Tennessee at Cal
LSU at Mississippi State
Washington State at Wisconsin
Wake Forest at Boston College
Florida State at Clemson


Decent games only. Top 25 match ups if possible.

[machineman]

I'd get in on it. Don't care about the rep part, but the pick 5 from top 25 match-ups is fun. Pick 10 if we have that many match-ups, even. I would have lost that first one for sure this week, as my Vols aren't as good as I want them to be. Cal's speedsters will probably spell trouble for a few this year though. I think they deserve to move in the lower top 10 for sure this week. But any good pass-rush team might expose them as not-so great. Tennessee is for sure not among those.

[theanalogkid]

This weeks games if we were doing this:

Va. Tech at LSU
Miami at Oklahoma
TCU at Texas
Oregon at Michigan
Notre Dame at Penn State

[Konmel]

How many people should we get on before we start doing this?

[machineman]

And do we just post our picks whenever (before game-time)?

[Shadow40]

Count me in, I love picking games and then being wrong. I'm like machineman rep isn't that important, its fun picking teams and then watching them and hoping their going to win.

If these are the teams we are going with I'll pick the teams I think are going to win.

Va. Tech at LSU (LSU is the better team)
Miami at Oklahoma (Graduated from Oklahoma so I have to go with Oklahoma:grin: . Still think its going to be a hard game but a fun one.)
TCU at Texas (TCU with the upset, I would be hard pressed to pick Texas to win any week of the year.)
Oregon at Michigan (Michigan because they are going to come out pissed this week)
Notre Dame at Penn State (Penn State in this one, no real reason just seems like a good pick)

[machineman]

My picks in bold:
Va. Tech at LSU should be a good game, gotta go with the home team)
Miami at Oklahoma I'll probably never pick Miami, even if they play my hometown high school team, meh.
TCU at Texas Should be another good game, interstate rivalry
Oregon at MichiganThe Wolverines are mad, I'd love to see Oregon be the next team to win at the big house though
Notre Dame at Penn State Can Joe Pa take down the Irish one more time? I can certainly hope. Not a fan of either team, to say the least.

Looks like I went with all the home teams, hmmmmm. I don't usually do that.

[theanalogkid]

My picks:
LSU. Can't pick against the the Tigers at home
Oklahoma. Again, can't pick against the Sooners at home.
TCU. My upset special.
Michigan. Bo, please smile down on us. And we are sorry.
Penn State. The domers will need a miracle to make this close.


If we are serious, others can nominate games they feel should be in. I will put the games up on Monday.

[Gacy's Clown]

I'll take:
LSU
Oklahoma
Texas
Michigan
Penn State

[Konmel]

Won't a tie-breaker be needed? Of the 4 people so far, two chose the same 5 teams and the other two chose the same 5 teams.

[theanalogkid]

Thats the beauty of it. There can be multiple winners.

[theanalogkid]

None of us won. Damn Michigan and their sieve-like defense. If my daughter wasn't cheering for Rocket football, I could go to the Michigan- Notre Dame game at cost! Ditto for the Penn State game. How the mighty have fallen!

[theanalogkid]

I will put up the match-ups Monday night after I am done at my venue. Top 25 if possible and interesting ones otherwise. Pm me any suggestions or post here if you want.

[machineman]

Can't say I'm mad at Oregon, but my partner at work is gonna be carp weasel all week about that game for sure. He was sure Mich would turn it on this week. I'm surprised they didn't too, maybe they really aren''t very good. Hard to imagine that offense being so drab though.

[m_a_caque]

is it too late to join the fun now?

[machineman]

I have no objections, and I don't see why not, but we will wait for theanalogkid's opinion since it's his thread.

Well, I know I won't be winning this week either. I will pick my Vols over the butt-munche....er Gators if that game is in the pot this week, and I'll lose----- :(

[Konmel]

Here are some match-ups to consider:

Tennessee vs. Florida
Boston College vs. Georgia Tech
USC vs. Nebraska

Ohio State vs. Washington
Arkansas vs. Alabama

Notre Dame vs. Michigan


There could be a few others, but these are the one that jumped out. What do you say, TAK?

[theanalogkid]

Yes, m a caque you can jump in. Anyone reading this can pick the games selected without asking to join first.

Machine, I just started this thread. It is the peoples thread!

On to the games:

Tennessee vs. Florida
Boston College vs Georgia Tech
USC vs Nebraska
Ohio State vs Washington
Arkansas vs Alabama
West Virginia vs Maryland
Florida State vs Colorado

One that should be on top: Notre Dame vs Michigan

I know its an odd number, but when conference play starts we will pick a game from each of the 6 BCS conferences. Anyone object to that?

[m_a_caque]

Tennessee vs. Florida
Boston College vs Georgia Tech
USC vs Nebraska
Ohio State vs Washington
Arkansas vs Alabama
West Virginia vs Maryland
Florida State vs Colorado

One that should be on top: Notre Dame vs Michigan

[d-roc69]

I hope this works. I would like to pick these teams to win


Tennessee vs. Florida
Boston College vs Georgia Tech
USC vs Nebraska
Ohio State vs Washington
Arkansas vs Alabama
West Virginia vs Maryland
Florida State vs Colorado

Some of these are tough. I am torn with Florida State because they do not look very good. It is hard for me to pick Ohio State because they have looked so sluggish even against poor opponents and Ty Willingham has got a pretty decent squad with a 2-0 record. I am tempted to pick Alabama because it is the third game of the year and Saban might have his team running like it should but McFadden is so good it is not funny. If Michigan and Notre Dame is an option as well then I pick Michigan to win and give those fish eaters an 0-3 record.

[Konmel]

Similar, but a tad different than the submitted ones so far:

Tennessee vs. Florida
Boston College vs Georgia Tech
USC vs Nebraska
Ohio State vs Washington
Arkansas vs Alabama
West Virginia vs Maryland
Florida State vs Colorado

with Michigan over Notre Dame too

[machineman]

My picks:

Tennessee vs. Florida: Can't, no matter how stupid, go against my Vols.
Boston College vs Georgia Tech: Tech is pretty good at home, maybe.
USC vs Nebraska: Hope I'm wrong. Sick of USC at this point
Ohio State vs Washington: Huskies are looking too tough to lose this one at home.
Arkansas vs Alabama: Man I hate the Tide, should be another good game though
West Virginia vs Maryland: I don't think it will be close
Florida State vs Colorado: Have no idea really, FSU is another team I traditionaly don't like.
Notre Dame vs Michigan: I see this as a lesser of two evils, although I may become a Jimmy Clausen fan, just because his brothers are ex Vols


Not the smartest picks I've ever made, but at least I can't lose money on 'em!

[theanalogkid]

My picks:

Tennesee vs Florida. Florida
Boston College vs. Georgia Tech. BC
USC vs Nebraska. USC I wish they could tie
Ohio State vs Washington. Washington my mild upset
Arkansas vs Alabama. Arkansas
West Virginia vs Maryland. West Virginia
Florida State vs Colorado. Colorado


And I hope to whatever god wants to answer this prayer that my beloved Wolverines beat ND.

[machineman]

And I hope to whatever god whats to answer this prayer that my beloved Wolverines beat ND.


I'm pretty sure you're not referring to Touchdown Jesus, right?

+;)

[Shadow40]

Notre Dame vs Michigan (Michigan has screwed me for the last time, until they can prove to me that they have a football team that knows how to win I'm picking the opponents)
Tennessee vs. Florida
Boston College vs Georgia Tech
USC vs Nebraska
Ohio State vs Washington
Arkansas vs Alabama
West Virginia vs Maryland
Florida State vs Colorado


Those are my picks above.

[astinker123]

That's a great idea to do every week. I believe they have similar contests over at this College Forum (www.thecollegepartier.com). It's so much fun.

[Gacy's Clown]

Notre Dame vs. Michigan
Tennessee vs. Florida
Boston College vs Georgia Tech
USC vs Nebraska
Ohio State vs Washington
Arkansas vs Alabama
West Virginia vs Maryland (how couldn't I pick WVU?)
Florida State vs Colorado

[theanalogkid]

Looks like the Tide rolled over all of us this week. Oh, well. I'll get the new picks up soon and if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to post them.

[machineman]

Hey, it's early in the season, everyone will probably get better. I know if Tennessee drops out of the top 25, and why wouldn't they, my picks should improve.

[Konmel]

Some games to consider:

Texas A&M vs. Miami, FL
Michigan St. vs. Notre Dame (just kidding)
Penn St. vs Michigan (J/K again, what could have been...)
Georgia vs. Alabama
Kentucky vs. Arkansas
South Carolina vs. LSU
Washington vs. UCLA

A lot of good SEC match-ups.

[d-roc69]

So, who won? I was wondering who I need to give rep points to.

[theanalogkid]

None of us did. All of us picked Arkansas over Alabama.

[d-roc69]

So, we have to get them all correct in order to get the rep? I thought it went to who ever won the most games.

[theanalogkid]

We can do it that way. Let me go back and look.

[theanalogkid]

m a caque: 5-3
d-roc69: 5-3
Konmel: 4-4
machineman: 3-5
theanalogkid: 6-2
Shadow40: 5-3
Gacy's Clown: 5-3

Those are the standings from last week. The only reason I went 6-2 is because I picked Boston College.

[theanalogkid]

This weeks games. Conference play starts so I hope to have a game from each conference. I am also picking televised games, so if you keep seeing the same teams come up, sorry. I figure this will give people the best chance to see and root for their picks. On to the selections!

Texas A&M vs Miami Thursday night ESPN. I will almost always have the Thursday night game up. Everyone can see it and it usually features a Top 25 team or at least 1 team you have heard of.

Georgia vs Alabama Sat. 3:30 CBS

Washington State vs USC Sat. 8:00 ABC

Iowa vs Wisconsin Sat. 8:00 ABC

More to be announced as ESPN picks who to run in the noon time slots. Unless people have their own suggestions.

I already made a few -- the SEC has some good match-ups this week. I don't think we should limit it to one game per conference. Plus, even though WSU vs. USC is televised, I think the better game will be Washington and UCLA.

I also like the idea of a person must getting all of the choices correct to win. It makes it more challenging.

[d-roc69]

m a caque: 5-3
d-roc69: 5-3

Well, I think you deserve a rep sir.

[theanalogkid]

Thanks. Any thought on some games to pick?

[theanalogkid]

How about these?

Texas A&M vs Miami
Georgia vs Alabama
Kentucky vs Arkansas
Iowa vs Wisconsin
Washington vs UCLA
South Carolina vs LSU
Michigan State vs Notre Dame


And of course I hope my Wolverines continue their dominance of PSU. You don't have to pick this one, just thread starters perogative with his favorite team.


I will accept any suggestions until Wed night.

I think these games are good. It is a nice mix of the conferences. I don't see a Big East team but I can deal with that.

Also, I am not sure about the Wolverines and their dominance over Penn State this Saturday. I thing that PSU will end up winning the Big 10,11 this year.

[machineman]

I only see the Mich State vs Notre Dame as being a game with no ramifications, but I don't mind it being there. Georgia and Bama is kinda weak as well, but will probably be a good game. I'm cool with picking whatever you put down--:)

[theanalogkid]

My picks:

Texas A&M vs Miami.
Georgia vs Alabama.
Kentucky vs Arkansas.
Iowa vs Wisconsin.
Washington vs UCLA.
South Carolina vs LSU.
Michigan State vs Notre Dame


And of course my Wolverines over PSU.

[machineman]

And I will go with these:
Texas A&M vs Miami- Road dog?
Georgia vs Alabama- I think Georgia gets it on track this week
Kentucky vs Arkansas- KY is a commer, but the Nutt will roll
Iowa vs Wisconsin- Iowa? I think not.
Washington vs UCLA- Huskies need to pounce!
South Carolina vs LSU- LSU=Unstoppable (until stopped, of course)
Michigan State vs Notre Dame- The Domers will get their first Offensive touchdown though.

[Konmel]

Must be slightly different:

Texas A&M vs Miami
Georgia vs Alabama
Kentucky vs Arkansas
Iowa vs Wisconsin
Washington vs UCLA
South Carolina vs LSU
Michigan State vs Notre Dame

[d-roc69]

Hopefully, these picks will be better than last week. 5-3, sheesh. And I call myself a sports fan.

Texas A&M vs Miami
Georgia vs Alabama
Kentucky vs Arkansas
Iowa vs Wisconsin
Washington vs UCLA
South Carolina vs LSU
Michigan State vs Notre Dame

These games were pretty hard to pick. I am not sure about games 2,4,5, and 6. As bad as Wisconsin has played all year I think they are due for a loss. Georgia is a solid team and I can really see them catching Alabama coming down from the high of last weeks win but Bama has looked pretty solid. And I have no idea which way to go with Washington/UCLA. UCLA is coming off a loss to a bad school as best I remember so I think they will get up for this game. And Notre Dame sux hard. So, this week should be interesting.

[Shadow40]

Texas A&M vs Miami
Georgia vs Alabama
Kentucky vs Arkansas
Iowa vs Wisconsin
Washington vs UCLA
South Carolina vs LSU
Michigan State vs Notre Dame

[Konmel]

Heh, and nobody picked Miami. Sure, there still is some time in the 4th quarter, but 31-3???

[machineman]

It shall be another rep-less week for this gang, :)

[theanalogkid]

As stated, we are all 0-1. So we wil lignore it if it is some one's only loss, if that is alright by everyone.

[Konmel]

That's fair, since everyone did have the Aggies. Someone can still win the rest and that'd be rep worthy.

[theanalogkid]

The damage from yesterday:
TAK: 4-2
machineman: 4-2
Konmel :5-1
d-roc69: 3-3
shadow40 : 3-3

These do not count the Thursday game, which we all tanked on. Konmel had the best record, so if you think we should rep based on record, rep him. If you think rep should be given to those who get them all right , don't rep him. The choice is yours.

[d-roc69]

I sucked this week. Rep coming at you.

[Konmel]

That Georgia game had me worried, when Alabama tied it and forced overtime.

I'm so looking forward to Cal vs. Oregon. Hopefully the Bears can take it. Besides the Trojans, there always seems to be one other team that beats Cal.

Here are some good match-ups for next weekend:

Cal vs. Oregon
Michigan St. vs Wisconsin
West Virginia vs. South Florida

Alabama vs. Florida State (maybe)
Clemson vs. GA Tech (maybe)


Wow, there really weren't that many that looked good/jumped out. What others can you guys come up with?

[machineman]

Let me spread some more around so's I can get you that rep, Kon!

[theanalogkid]

Games for consideration this week:

West Virginia vs South Florida
Cal vs Oregon
Sparty(Michigan State) vs Wisconsin
Alabama vs Florida State
Clemson vs Georgia Tech
Auburn vs Florida

And the shootout of the Day: UNLV vs Nevada. Just kidding:grin: . You don't have to pick this game, but would be entertaining to watch.

And as always, I hope my Wolverines build on their upset win and continue fighting for the Big Ten title and tame those Wildcats. Go Blue!

[theanalogkid]

West Virginia vs South Florida
Cal vs Oregon
Sparty(Michigan State) vs Wisconsin
Alabama vs Florida State
Clemson vs Georgia Tech
Auburn vs Florida

These are my picks for the week.

[Shadow40]

West Virginia vs South Florida
Cal vs Oregon
Sparty(Michigan State) vs Wisconsin
Alabama vs Florida State
Clemson vs Georgia Tech
Auburn vs Florida

[theanalogkid]

I was beginning to wonder if was talking to myself. Good luck, Shadow.

[d-roc69]

West Virginia vs South Florida
Cal vs Oregon
Sparty(Michigan State) vs Wisconsin
Alabama vs Florida State
Clemson vs Georgia Tech
Auburn vs Florida

My poor Auburn Tigers. They are going to continue their newfound trend of sucking. We might get 30 pointed in this game.

[d-roc69]

I wonder if we should throw a few more games on the option list. I only say this because the picks thus far have been very similar. Maybe we should find a mid major game or two just to tweek things a little.

[Konmel]

This week just has too many lackluster match-ups. Any suggestions?

Here are my pics:

Cal vs Oregon

Auburn vs Florida

[d-roc69]

[QUOTE=Konmel]Any suggestions?QUOTE]


Well we always look for the big name games. Sometimes there are good matchups based on what both teams have done this season or have the potential to do. Here are a few games that I think are fairly even and could be good games.

Notre Dame vs. Perdue (Both suck but pretty evenly)
Kansas State vs. Texas (Texas is having a bad year and KSU can surprise teams)
Louisville vs. NC State (Both teams are either bad or playing below their potential)
Ole Miss vs. UGA (Ole Miss plays up to the strength of their opponent. They played UF really tough last week. They played Georgia tough last year and will this week as well.)
Southern Miss vs. Boise State (I think it would be fun. Both are decent teams with little respect)
Washington State vs. Arizona (They both are lower tier teams of the Pac 10 and it could be a good game)

[theanalogkid]

Thats what is great about this. There can be more than one winner. And we have had quite a few upsets this year so anything can happen.Plus, I think a lot of people don't reread this thread after they pick. If enough that have already picked agree I have no problems with it.

[machineman]

I'm all for anything, I'm not sure who plays tonight, but please don't pick a thurs night game, I won't be back online til they are over. Here are my other picks:

West Virginia vs South Florida
Cal vs Oregon
Michigan State vs Wisconsin
Alabama vs Florida State
Clemson vs Georgia Tech
Auburn vs Florida

[Konmel]

I actually prefer one winner. More rep-worthy. Should we add a few of the other games or is it too late for this weekend? We currently have 6. Last week, there were 7 (6 after dropping the Aggies/'Canes game). I'm not sure on the week before, but I want to say 8.

[d-roc69]

It is ultimately up to you guys as to what we do. I am up for anything.

[theanalogkid]

Why don't we keep it as is. I will start adding a tie-breaker game next week. Remember I put uop games on Sunday or monday. Feel free to throw out suggestions here or PM them to me and I will be happy to include them.

[Konmel]

5 W Virginia 13
18 S Florida 21
Final Box Score


Wow.

[machineman]

well, at least I'm consistantly losing as quickly as possible each week---- :)

[d-roc69]

Auburn vs Florida

My poor Auburn Tigers. They are going to continue their newfound trend of sucking. We might get 30 pointed in this game.

Never have I been more happy to be wrong. War Damn Eagle!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gacy's Clown]

That was a great game last night! While I wish WVU had had a better game, it was nice to see they weren't the only team to have a bad weekend.

[d-roc69]

That was a great game last night! While I wish WVU had had a better game, it was nice to see they weren't the only team to have a bad weekend.

I did not find out that you guys had lost until yesterday. Was it a fluke like our game where we had 5 turnovers that should not have been made. Granted, S. Florida is a solid team and they did cause the turnovers. Sean had said your game was a blowout but I believe I saw the score to be around 24-18.

[theanalogkid]

What a great weekend for college football.

Tak: 1-5 (ouch!)
Shadow40: 2-4
d-roc69: 2-4
Konmel: 3-3
machineman: 3-3


Those are the records, rep accordingly. I will post this week's matchups later. Any suggestions for games are alwats welcome. And congrats to my Wolverines, who pulled their heads out of their behinds Saturday and beat the Wildcats. Go Blue!

[Konmel]

Southern Miss vs. Boise State (I think it would be fun. Both are decent teams with little respect)
Washington State vs. Arizona (They both are lower tier teams of the Pac 10 and it could be a good game)

And here are the results on these:

Purdue beats Notre Dame 33-19
Kansas State crushes Texas 41-21 (good call on that one)
Louisville beats NC State 29-10
UGA beats Mississippi 45-17 (this was a close game until the 4th quarter)
Boise St. beats Southern Miss. 38-16
Arizona crushes Washington State 48-20

Feel free to make suggestions by tomorrow sometime. I'm about to take a look at the match-ups.

[Konmel]

And here are some suggestions (should be another good week):

Kentucky vs. South Carolina
Oklahoma vs. Texas (from a 3 vs. 7 matchup to a 10 vs. 19 matchup)
Georgia vs. Tennessee
VA Tech vs. Clemson
Cincinnati vs. Rutgers (yep, you read that one correctly)
Florida vs. LSU
Ohio State vs. Purdue
Nebraska vs. Missouri


That's 8 right there. Most are big match-ups. UGA always seems to lose to Tennessee when they are ranked better than the Vols, plus it's at TN.

Other possible games:

Kansas vs. Kansas State
GA Tech vs. Maryland
Colorado vs. Baylor

These all look like good match-ups. You're correct about the TN/UGA comment, but TN has been awful this year. I think they will pull it together against GA saturday and at least make it a good game. It's a HUGE week in the SEC. I know FLA blew it this weekend, but they lost that match-up last year too, and look how that ended up. If LSU wins this one convincingly, look for them to make more separation on the No 1
spot and maybe overtake all 3 polls.
Is Cal off this week? At this point in the year #3 is probably the best place to be.
Anybody know who Hawaii plays this week?

[Konmel]

I do know that Cal has an off week, which is great for them to regroup. They play UCLA soon and USC in early November.


And as for Hawaii:




Utah St. (0-5, Road: 0-3) 12:05 am EDT
(16) Hawaii (5-0, Home: 2-0)

[machineman]

The reason I was asking is, I know Colt Brennan was injured, but I haven't gotten to see him play yet. I'm hoping they get a good match-up on the mainland soon and it gets televised. And Brennan isn't injured.

[Konmel]

Well, it doesn't look like a good match-up. I only have gotten to see Colt Brennan play once, in the Aloha Bowl of last year. He was impressive.

[d-roc69]

I think that the 8 you picked are all pretty good. The Georgia Tech game might be good as well. For some reason I feel that it will be a close game.

[machineman]

I like that Ohio St/Purdue match-up. May be a good home dog pick.

[machineman]

Well, it doesn't look like a good match-up. I only have gotten to see Colt Brennan play once, in the Aloha Bowl of last year. He was impressive.

Yeah, looks like the Boise St game might be the one I need to catch.

[theanalogkid]

This weeks games:

Kentucky at South Carolina
Oklahoma at Texas
Georgia at Tennessee
Cinninnati at Rutgers
Florida at LSU
Ohio State at Purdue
Nebraska at Missouri

There isn't a decent Pac-10 match up. And as always, please don't look past Eastern my Wolverines. Let's at least keep the unbeaten vs the MAC streak going. Go Blue!

[d-roc69]

Kentucky at South Carolina
Oklahoma at Texas
Georgia at Tennessee
Cinninnati at Rutgers
Florida at LSU
Ohio State at Purdue
Nebraska at Missouri

Hopefully these will work in my favor this week. Last week I did pretty terribly.

[theanalogkid]

Kentucky at South Carolina
Oklahoma at Texas
Georgia at Tennessee
Cinninnati at Rutgers
Florida at LSU
Ohio State at Purdue
Nebraska at Missouri

My picks.

[machineman]

I'll go with these:
Kentucky at South Carolina- want to pick KY, but I can't believe they are this good
Oklahoma at Texas
Georgia at Tennessee- can't help myself!
Cinninnati at Rutgers
Florida at LSU
Ohio State at Purdue
Nebraska at Missouri

[Konmel]

Kentucky at South Carolina
Oklahoma at Texas
Georgia at Tennessee
Cinninnati at Rutgers -- wait, I actually pick Cincinnati
Florida at LSU
Ohio State at Purdue
Nebraska at Missouri

[machineman]

judging from the picks so far, LSU and/or Cinci is destined to lose, based on the fact that none of us has been perfect yet.

[Shadow40]

Kentucky at South Carolina
Oklahoma at Texas
Georgia at Tennessee
Cinninnati at Rutgers
Florida at LSU
Ohio State at Purdue
Nebraska at Missouri

[d-roc69]

judging from the picks so far, LSU and/or Cinci is destined to lose, based on the fact that none of us has been perfect yet.

If it is one of the two I believe that it will be Cincinnati. But, really with their defense I think they will beat Rutgers. Same with LSU. Their defense is nasty.

[theanalogkid]

There have been a lot of upsets, but I think this week the cream will start rising to the top.

machineman: 5-2
Konmel: 5-2
Shadow40: 3-4

So close. Stupid Kentucky. Anyway, get your suggestions in. Congrats to my Wolverines. I think Mike Hart will need another 200+ game to keep Painter on the sidelines. Go Blue!

I get you some rep your way once I spread some more around.

The two games that were the hardest for me to pick this last week were the two I lost. I had a strong feeling UGA would lose but since I have connections there, and I'm not putttny any money on this, I'm not going against them. I also thought Nebraske would make it alot closer. Once the new rankings are out, I'll take a look at the schedule again.

Wisconsin vs. Penn. State
Missouri vs. Oklahoma
GA Tech vs Miami, Fl

Dang, I had such a busy week I forgot to make some picks.

Anyway, here are some match-ups to consider for the picks:

South Florida vs. Rutgers
Texas Tech vs. Missouri
Cal vs. UCLA
Michigan State vs. Ohio State
Miami, FL vs. Florida State
Florida vs. Kentucky
Tennessee vs. Alabama
Michigan vs. Illinois
Auburn vs. LSU

Michigan State vs. Ohio State
Miami, FL vs. Florida State
Florida vs. Kentucky
Tennessee vs. Alabama
Michigan vs. Illinois
Auburn vs. LSU

[machineman]

I will go with:
South Florida vs. Rutgers- Just so they can be #1
Texas Tech vs. Missouri
Cal vs. UCLA
Michigan State vs. Ohio State-It would be poetic justice to see the would-be sports gods HAVE to vote USF #1
Miami, FL vs. Florida State
Florida vs. Kentucky-If KY stays undefeated, it helps put my Vols in the driver's seat, but they will have to remain as strong as they looked versus GA
Tennessee vs. Alabama- Must win for UT.
Michigan vs.Illinois- if Hart's out I'm going with the Illini, I'll fix this game after thursday
Auburn vs. LSU- I think I'd rather see AUB win this one though.

[theanalogkid]

Glad to have you, Antipathy

Looks like Anti had a good debut. Also as Michigan wins, I will be glad to go 1 for whatever.

[RCricket55]

I would prefer that they win but I am not so sure that they will.

[RCricket55]

I would prefer that they win but I am not so sure that they will.

agreed, that's why I called it my homer pick.

[theanalogkid]

I wouldn't mind seeing BC in the NC. Otherwise your Hokies are fine.

[RCricket55]

I wouldn't mind seeing BC in the NC. Otherwise your Hokies are fine.

Something like BC/Arizona State would be cool just because it isn't the usually suspects. VT probably won't catch enough breaks to get a shot at the NC either way since they are still 8th (maybe, but unlikely). With everything that happened at the school in the spring it sure would be nice to have a strong finish and some positive press.

[machineman]

ouch, after last week I guess I should pick who I think will actually win, instead of hate-based picks, huh?
Boston College vs. Virginia Tech
West Virginia vs. Rutgers
USC vs. Oregon-more hate based, can't help it!
Georgia vs. Florida
Cal vs. Arizona State
Ohio State vs. Penn State- would love another shake-up!
Kansas vs. Texas A&M- at least, that's what my quarter tells me to pick here

[theanalogkid]

This weeks results:

RCricket55: 3-4
Antipathy: 3-4
TAK: 6-1
d-roc69: 5-2
machineman: 5-2

Georgia tripped us all up. The best part of the weekend is that we keep the Little Brown Jug where it belongs. I just hope Hart and Henne are ready to go for Sparty on Saturday. Go Blue!

[d-roc69]

I hate that rep must be spread around before leaving it for the same person twice. I don't have all day to go looking for someone to say something witty.
How much do I have to give before I can give you rep?

[theanalogkid]

About 20. And don't worry about it d-roc. Its just rep. I enjoy hanging out with like minded college football fans.

We could always get a list of every bowl game, even the terrible ones, and pick em. I think it would be fun. Or we could just focus on the big 5.

It's starting to wind down, but there is plenty of good football left.

Kansas vs Missouri at Kansas City
USC at Arizona State
Arkansas at LSU
Connecticut at West Virginia
Georgia at Georgia Tech
Virginia Tech at Virginia
Oklahoma State at Oklahoma
Tennesee at Kentucky

And a game that used to matter
Florida State at Florida

[machineman]

Heck yeah there's some good football left. Some people's seasons are still out there on the field! Then we'll have the conference championship games. I'm for doing as many bowl games as everyone wants to do at the end. Sorry about your Wolverines,TAK. Will they be going after Les Myles?

Congrats to machineman. Yes, Les Miles appears to be a frontrunner for the Michigan job.

[d-roc69]

Machineman, I will rep you here since this ####### system won't let me give you rep otherwise.

Also, I would not get too excited about Les Miles. He was playing with excellent talent (that he did not recruit by the way) and still lost two games. He almost lost 3 others. I think you are correct that he will go to Michigan. I just wouldn't be that excited about it.

Speaking of coaches leaving, if Will Muschamp leaves Auburn and takes the head coaching job at Georgia Tech I am going to fire bomb someone's office.

[theanalogkid]

I am not excited by it. His clock management skills are horrible. I think Brian Kelly would be good.

[RCricket55]

I am not excited by it. His clock management skills are horrible. I think Brian Kelly would be good.

we gonna do a set this week too TAK.

[RCricket55]

i think for bowl games you should pick 5 lower bowl games around christmas and then do a second set for the big 5.

[theanalogkid]

This weeks games are going to have some mid-major love to help cover the conference championships.

Central Michigan vs. Miami,OH
Tulsa vs. UCF

I hope the end of this week doesn't make for OSU getting in the title game, I'd rather see Hawaii, but that ain't happening. I can only hope Tennessee puts some more doubts in Michigan's mind about Miles by winning the SEC championship, but it's a long shot at best. Either way, Big Phat Phil Fulmer saved his own skin by getting the Vols to that game this year.

Should be another good week of college games! And don't worry about the rep carp, I didn't go perfect, so it ain't deserved.

[machineman]

Antipathy, did you join the "Tuesday Night Hot Avatars " contest? Nice one, heh....

[theanalogkid]

I won't be thrilled if he comes here. Still, I hope Tennessee wins, but not enough to actively root for them. Hearing "Rocky Top" 20 billion times at the old Citrus Bowl while getting our hats handed to us really soured me on them. Sorry, machineman.

[RCricket55]

go VT!!!

Orange Bowl here we come:grin:

[d-roc69]

I am curious to see who goes to what bowl now that both WV and Misso. have lost. This is about the worst case senario I think you can have with this system. What a weird year for college football.

Who's the Masta!?!


SHO NUFF!!!


Just kidding, I got really lucky this week.

I think the bowl games could be interesting except for the Rose Bowl. I know Georgia would not have traveled but I think it would have been a much better match up. I think that VT and Missouri would have been a better game as well. I will go ahead and congratulate VT on the win. I am happy about the Championship game. LSU had a really tough schedule and I feel they deserve to go. Ohio State had a cup cake schedule but they still only lost 1 game.

VT's 2 losses were LSU and BC. After they got a second chance against BC and won, I was really hoping to get a LSU rematch. They were 3rd, even though a decent bit back. Kind of pissy OSU is going, talk about backing in after losing.

[machineman]

I'd say you won't have to worry about Miles anymore TAK. I can't believe our QB handed that game to LSU. Ainge had a really good year, and 2 freshman-mistake passes in this game during his senior season was totally unexpected. congrats on the picking d-roc, rep coming. Ohio State getting to go back to the show just keeps proving to me that a playoff system is sorely needed.

[theanalogkid]

I will take suggestions all this week on how to do the bowls. Straight pick or pont system like the Bowl Mania contest ESPN used to run.

[d-roc69]

I can definitely get behind the idea that Ohio State does not deserve to be there. I think Oklahoma should play LSU. But, I also have problems with conferences that do not have an actual conference championship game. I feel that they all should have one or none of them should. I don't understand why there is a rule that you must have 12 teams in your conference to have a championship game.
I am definitely in favor of a playoff system. Alot of people think that there should be an 8 team playoff system. I think that a 14 team system would be better. The top 14 would go. That means that the top two teams could get a bye. This gives them some incentive for playing so well all season. And again I think each conference should be standardized where all teams have conference championship games or none do. They can still have there bowls. If the top 15 teams played there would be 13 games total from the playoffs. They could still keep the well known bowls for tradition. And some of the lesser bowls that have been around a while would remain and the remainder of the top 25 or 30 could play in them. I think this could work but it will never happen.

[RCricket55]

I will take suggestions all this week on how to do the bowls. Straight pick or pont system like the Bowl Mania contest ESPN used to run.

doesn't matter to me really. How does the point system work. Guess the scores and points are awarded based on how much you miss? Or bigger games count for more?

[theanalogkid]

You pick the winner of each game and put a number to it based on number of bowls and how confident you are in that pick. For example, if there are 25 bowl games, when you pick VA TEch to win, you put at 25 next to it. If they win, you get those points. High point at the end wins.
