COLLEGE FOOTBALL: WEEK 12

[Condem]

Damn. A lot of weak-ass games this week...and it's Rivalry week, for Christ's sake! So, what we'll do is just go with MOST of the Top teams in the BCS. Sorry TCU fans (yeah, you know who you are), the Wyoming game is pure shit. Outta here. We do have a Thursday night match-up involving a top 14 BCS, so let's have 'em in by gametime. By the by, it's the last week for a lot of teams, but we'll keep going through the conference championships, the first week in December. So, here we go.
Thursday, November 19
Colorado +14.5 @ Oklakoma State
Friday, November 20
Boise State -24.5 @ Utah State
Saturday, November 20
Ohio State -12 @ Michigan
Minnesota +9.5 @ Iowa
LSU + 3 @ Mississippi
Penn State -3.5 @ Michigan State
California +7 @ Stanford
Oregon -5 @ Arizona

OK. Some of the BS games that didn't make it: Kansas +27 @ Texas, Florida International +43 @ Florida, Wisconsin -6 @ Northwestern ( a good one) & Kansas State + 15 @ Nebraska (for the right to get killed by Texas in the Big 12 final)
Standings to follow. Good fucking luck!

1. Someone fine me for the crude gestures I have commited in these threads

Lord its hard to be humble, when you fuck up these picks every week.

Oh, and Condem, I remain a petulant little shit who refuses to Congratulate Ohio State for Big10 champs. In the immortal words of Capt. Hawkeye Pierce: WE WANT SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


OKLAHOMA ST
UTAH ST
OHIO ST
IOWA
MISS
PENN ST
STAN
OREGON


ETA for fun pick,about as much fun as an Owner Mutu light wire #2 circle hook barbed in your right butt cheek, because I am pissy and they always seem to piss on our parade, Northwestern over my Badgers

[madinmaryland]

2. Ohio State - Michigan will be a good game.

Especially in Ann Arbor. 12 points is a lot.

Regardless the record, these teams HATE each other.

I see Florida is playing another CUPCAKE. Jesus-Tebow padding his stats?

[Capt. America]

24. I absolutely agree. When it comes to these two teams, throw out the regular season. This is

THE GAME.

Also, Dick-Rod will be forgiven his shitty year if he beats the Senator.

[Condem]

I'm going to do absolutely nothing while I run out the clock. That way I won't risk a turnover. Sorry - that's a sad Hawk fan joke.

[Condem]

7. I see a lot of talk...nothing more.

Crunch time.

[happyiowan]

8. But with such fabulous games

I'm going to have to really, really think in order to choose carefully.

[Condem]

9. Don't shoot the pianoman.

BTW. I'm trying to get Mowgli to come in.

[happyiowan]

11. Mowgli - LOL

I'm so sorry for both of you. Two stubborn peas in a pod, huh? Try shaking the cup with bits for a little and then opening the door. Sorry sports fans, that's cat talk.

[madinmaryland]

18. Get a room, you two!

[fishnfla]

10. Look all ya gotta do is get ahead of JonLP

[happyiowan]

12. or I could sic

the villainous Mowgli on him.

[fishnfla]

13. is he or she the emperor of Iowa?

just who would be the emperor of Iowa? I'm gonna ponder myself to sleep with that one,humming that song " Bear Necessities" dont want to threadjack Condem's hard work.

Wonders to self,,,who is gonna post their picks last? 'cuz wise man say: its crunch time

crunchy like a pickle

21. do i have to?

Oklahoma State
Boise State Weiners
Ohio State
Iowa

[Condem]

38. Hang on, a la.

You can do us Hawkeyes a big favor and beat T. Boone Pickens U next week. I will buy you the bottle of your choice.

[a la izquierda]

39. We probably will...

we're like a team of twins-one team for the road, which clearly sucks, and the other team for Norman, which pretty much can beat anyone. I do not understand it.
We should win on Saturday, but if we don't, you may hear the sound of 100,000 heads exploding all the way in Iowa.

Anyway, it is nice to play spoiler this year I guess. We'll see what happens.

[Condem]

23. We all in?

Oklahoma State
Boise State
Ohio State
Iowa
LSU
Penn State
Stanford
Oregon

Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, K State

Kansas and points:
I refuse to acknowledge Tebow-Jesus and Urban running up the score against nobody in week 12.
Bucky
Nbraska (for the right to get killed by Texas in the Big 12 final)

[happyiowan]

26. My Lead Taking Picks

Snort!!

Colorado (Oh how I hate Oklahoma State)
Utah State (Oh how I hate monster spreads even they are achievable)
Ohio State (Might as well hasten Michigan's road to a new coach)
Iowa (They seem to do better when I pick them, but I'm not superstitious, I swear!)
LSU (just 'cause)
Penn State (Iowa should have the only drama in the Big Ten. New rule.)
Stanford ('cause it's funny to say so)
Oregon (but oh for Arizona - that would make me happy)

Kansas, Florida Int'l, Wisconsin, Nebraska.

40. Just glancing at my picks quickly...

I think I had a fairly decent week, considering I picked correctly against the point spreads for some of them.
And I was trying so hard to go 0 - 8.
