wk 13 picks

In case you didn’t hear, I had best week last week of anyone with a whopping 26 pts (possible 55). How do I feel about that?...

And now for rivalry week picks…

10 – Fl st, how the Florida mighty have fallen. Going with road team at the swamp in a rivalry as my 10 pt game is nuts!! But the gators are bad, so bad that all the Texas fans are relieved Will is not going to be the replacement for Mac.

9 – Bama, and now my 9 pick game is road team in big rivalry game, but with what we have seen this crazy football season it is a weird weird year. And as I said this week (and now that ok st lost) bama has the easiest road to the BCS title game, win and in. LSU, you beat bama, but we need you to win 2 more to get in – good luck.

8 – Team up North, Ok, trying to be reasonable on this so let’s break it down. Their QB, better or at least better now and being put in better positions by coaching staff. Actually that description is good for the entire offense. As for defense, they are playing better than they have in years which is bad news and our def is inconsistent and frankly looks like they know they have to be perfect to have a chance to win and that pressure (and youth) is causing mistakes. The def seems bad and is not great, but they are giving up 19pts a game, a buckeye team giving up 20 pts or less a game should not lose more than 1 game a year!!

Corey Brown, catch the ball or go back to Philly you loser!! You would have got ‘old yellar’d’ if crazy dave had a say…

Anyway, they are home, they are playing better and they ought to be hungry since they have 1 win in 10 years.

The upside – all the pressure is on them, I promise you Hoke wishes we had a better record and had lucked through and won those last 2 games despite playing bad so that we would be falsely over confident and have pressure of playing to get into bigten champ game. Instead, if our coaches have any tress left in them, our team ought to be loose and wild and playing free of pressure – nothing to lose – ready to prove that only 1 game for Buckeye nation truly defines a season as a failure! Is this season a disappointment? Yes!! Do we expect better, way better? For sure!! But is it a failure? Won’t know till about 3:30 or so Saturday!! Go Bucks!!

7 – WV – this game has been one of the crazier rivalries lately, but pretty sure WV is solidly better than Pitt, but we shall see.

Richrod in the Pac 12 – perfect, lots of offense and no defense, a league made for Rich.

6 – Wisc – bucky probably best team in our bad conf, but had some fabulous last second losses that keep them away from perfect where they don’t belong. But after beating Cover up U sat they will be in b10 champ game with a shot at revenge on sparty and a chance at the rose bowl. Hopefully, either they or sparty will do the bigten proud in the Rose bowl, which the conference desperately needs.

5 – Clem - remember back at beginning of the year when it seemed that maybe the ole ball coach had brought some fla era magic to the gamecocks and he might have another special team? Yeah, they barely beat the citadel last week!!

4 – Vatech - will the upset hooves show up or the doormat hooves? Not sure, but think the latter.

3 – Nebraska – hmmm, if the huskers lose or lose bad to Iowa, it will lend some validity to long held B10 belief that if these other schools had to grind through a B10 schedule they would find out how hard it is at the end of the season. Or they just had a bad week in Ann Arbor last week and they will win big, again I see the later.

2 – Texas – never picking A&M again!!

1 – LSU – I think the tigers are the one team that will weather the storm, win it all and once again save the BCS ass, but if they lose, then get ready to hear the Playoff cries from the masses. And much like the ‘smell up Wall Street with b/o’ people it would be pointless cries from powerless people.

So there it is, can I make it 2 weeks in a row? We shall see..

I wish all my competitors white person stamina as my Kenyon ass runs shoeless past you without even sweating in this marathon!! Kiss my New Balances biotches!!!
