BG College Football Pick Em

[Akiyama]

Yeah, I saw that a ton on ESPN last night. Fifteen fucking laterals.

And Bill Callahan figures out another way to shit up a 14 point 1st half lead and lose. To make it even sadder, he was 25-1 when leading at halftime and I *almost* watched an entire Husker game without wanting to punch babies. Then I saw the holes Charles was running thru in the 4th quarter and that all went down the drain. QQ

Here's hoping Pelini kept a mailing address in Lincoln.

I agree, I watched that entire game until I saw Charles rip one off the right side for 86 yards. I dont know if you heard me or not but I smote the name of Callahan when I saw that.

Wisconsin is 19 in the USA today poll, but 26 in the AP poll. Harris and BCS aren't out yet (although BCS doesn't use the AP, so fuck the AP)

This week's games should be substantially easier than last weeks:

Rutgers (+3) at UConn
Cincinnatti (+5) at South Florida
Nebraska (+17.5) at Kansas
Navy (+3.5) at Notre Dame
LSU (-7) at Alabama
Michigan (-4.5) at Michigan St
Wisconsin (+16) at Ohio State
Wake Forest (-2) at Virginia
Florida State (+8) at Boston College
Arizona State (+7) at Oregon (points tiebreaker game)

I never thought I would see the day when Kansas was a 17.5 point favorite over Nebraska.

For some reason Big 12 teams the past few years have kind of seemed to lack endurance. Of course it's natural for running to be more effective in the 4th, but really over the last few years a lot of great Big 12 teams have had their chances ruined by people just absolutely running all over them late in the game. Really has been a big key to the recent "fall" of the big 12 I think.


edit: also

Nebraska (+17.5) at Kansas

that is roffles on so many levels

[Akiyama]

Aw, LSU 7 point favorite over Alabama. I didn't see that coming. (I'm being sarcastic.)

[Akiyama]

Bumping for games starting here pretty soon. Some interesting matchups today.

Just woke up and my day is off to a great morning. Purdue vs Penn State on ESPN. Purdue is up 10-3 and have the ball on the 2 yard line.

Edit: and in true fashion, the second I post this they fumble on the 1 and Penn State recovers.

I'm so glad they're showing this game on national television, instead of the #21 Wisconsin vs. #1 Ohio State game, which is only on the Big Ten network. I mean, who wants to see the #1 team in the country play another ranked team anyway?

[Akiyama]

I'm watching Nebraska v. Kansas right now on FSN.

[Ryany]

Damn, I forgot to rank the confidence values and all my rankings are the default values. At least I made my picks though. The only solution now is to get all of them right.

[octopus]

lol, Kansas is putting a whopping on Nebraska

And Ohio State is down so far!

Edit: Hey, Kansas is on pace to score 100 points in the game!

Sigh... Well ABC here in TALLAHASSEE is playing the USF vs Cinci game over FSU @ BC. This is all USF's fault.

Ouch.

Kansas is now up 75-31 pending extra point! I want to see 100

[Koyuki]

They gonna stop soon? It's kinda pathetic now.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing that game at all, but you know...me being a Purdue fan and all. It kind of goes without saying that I was not disappointed in seeing them play on Television.

Well, 10 more minutes to go. Nebraska is now running the football trying to run out the clock instead of throwing to catch up

I think the finger can be pointed at ABC on this one. If I remember right, ABC had originally scheduled Wisconsin/Ohio State as their first pick, and then ESPN gets the 2nd and 3rd picks for Big Ten games. I think when ESPN picked their 2 games, Wisconsin/Ohio State was not available b/c ABC originally picked it. For some reason ABC decided an episode of Power Rangers was more important to put in the noon time slot.

damn cincinnati 31 pts in 1st quarter. Also LOL @ Nebraska v. Kansas, 76 pts, I didn't know there was a basketball game today.
