Even suffering through my first "winter time" malaise of the season won't stop me from placing my Week 13 Picks. So without further adue...

1) Georgia Tech over Miami - correct
2) North Carolina over N. C. State
3) Ohio State over Michigan
4) West Virginia over Louisville
5) Rutgers over Army
6) Purdue over Indiana
7) Clemson over Virginia
8) Vanderbilt over Tennessee
9) Notre Dame over Syracuse
10) Mississippi State over Arkansas
11) Worst Apple Cup Ever? Washington over Washington State in 14OT
12) TCU over an "under the radar" Air Force
13) If Ringer can perform... Michigan State shocks Penn State
14) Mississippi upends LSU
15) Illinois over Northwestern
16) Stanford over California
17) Boston College over Wake Forest
18) Kansas State over Iowa State
19) Wisconsin over Cal Poly (why are they playing this?!)
20) BYU stuns Utah
21) Virginia Tech over Duke
22) Iowa over depleted Minnesota
23) Cincinnati over Pittsburgh for the Big East
24) Arizona upsets Oregon State
25) Florida State beats Maryland on the road
26) Florida over Citadel (gimme of the week)
27) GAME OF THE WEEK - Oklahoma outlasts Texas Tech in a classic
28) Connecticut over South Florida (Sunday)

As usual - may the best teams wins. And Big Ten country, it's a wrap!

I was worried about Tech's chances in Norman until I saw that you picked the Sooners - Thank the Lord! After picking Kansas, Texas and Okie State we want to ride that hot streak right through to Week 13. Thanks Coach! Wreck 'Em!

Hey Wreck em...I must agree. Have you watched Tech play this year at all?? Who is this clown and how does he keep his job?

I too predict a BYU stun over Utah. Go Cougars.....................................

#1... don't let my picking OU in Norman worry you. You should be worried otherwise. Stoops is 59-2 at home since taking the Oklahoma job, I certainly hope Texas Tech comes prepared. I think it will be a "game of the year" type game, but hopefully I break my "oh-fer" on Texas Tech in big games... which I didn't realize until you brought it to my attention. I had a severe lack of confidence in Tech (until this stretch), especially after the Nebraska game. Now, I totally respect Tech... I just believe the odds aren't in their favor. As for #2, there aren't any clowns with a "blogging" job anywhere in the immediate vicinity (unless it's you...). Sorry to dissappoint. If Oklahoma does win, do expect me to post unsportsmanlike comments to "rub it in"... pride always comes before a mighty fall.

If Texas Tech does prevail, I will personally write Mike Leach a letter apologizing for ever questioning his coaching ability - and will fiercely root for them to win the Big XII title and national championship against their supposed SEC foe.

Even better - not only will I write him a letter of apology and become a fierce bandwagon fan, I will buy and wear Texas Tech gear, and post pictures on FanNation. Included in this bet are a pirate flag for my wall, a la Leach-ness to the maximum.
