Are you guys really F'n serious? Sunday night we're gonna pick the games for next Saturday?!? Couldn't anything happen this weekend like Nick Saban gets selected for the rapture, or Jim Harbaugh gets arressted for DUI!?!? I mean, 6 days is a long damn time.

Anyway, it's a pretty easy weekend to pick, so the obvious choices:

Florida over Bama by 25
Stanford over Oregon
USC over Washington
Oklahoma, Notre Dame, and whatever else everyone says. Totally obvious and boring Saturday.

I'm thru picking games.

The way this season is going, I'd be better off using a pair of dice.

1 Alabama vs 7 Florida - upset Florida
2 Ohio State at Illinois - tOSU
3 Boise State at New Mexico State - Boise
4 Oregon vs 9 Stanford - Stanford
5 TCU at Colorado State - TCU
8 Oklahoma RRR site vs 21 Texas - Sooners
10 Auburn vs Louisiana-Monroe - Auburn
11 Wisconsin at 24 Michigan State - Wisky
12 LSU vs Tennessee - LSU
16 Miami (FL) at Clemson - Da U
17 Iowa vs 22 Penn State - Iowa
18 USC vs Washington - USC
20 Michigan at Indiana - Michigan
23 North Carolina State vs Virginia Tech - upset? Va Tech
25 Nevada at UNLV - Nevada

Other Notables (quite a few good ones):
Texas A&M at OKSU Thursday special - Aggies
Navy at Air Force - Air Force
ASU at OrSU, Season is over good-bowl wise for loser - oregon State. FWIW, all Pac10 bowls besides the Rose suck.
UGA vs Colorado, UGa

Probably a double post, so my UF upset pick can be praised/mocked twice as much...

1 Alabama vs 7 Florida - upset Florida
2 Ohio State at Illinois - tOSU
3 Boise State at New Mexico State - Boise
4 Oregon vs 9 Stanford - Stanford
5 TCU at Colorado State - TCU
8 Oklahoma RRR site vs 21 Texas - Sooners
10 Auburn vs Louisiana-Monroe - Auburn
11 Wisconsin at 24 Michigan State - Wisky
12 LSU vs Tennessee - LSU
16 Miami (FL) at Clemson - Da U
17 Iowa vs 22 Penn State - Iowa
18 USC vs Washington - USC
20 Michigan at Indiana - Michigan
23 North Carolina State vs Virginia Tech - upset? Va Tech
25 Nevada at UNLV - Nevada

Where's it say we can't use dice?

I'll take the better ranked teams except-
- Clemson over Miami
- Indiana over Michigan (upset)
- Washington over USC (upset)
- Tennessee over LSU (big upset)

Other notables picks: OKSt / AFA / OrSt / UGa

If you enjoy watching guys in funny hats run unabated across fields of green, Indiana vs. Meatchicken is the game for you. Indy can't stop the run and Meatchicken can't stop the pass. I wonder if the scoreboard is capable of showing triple digits?

UW over USC? Wow, odd call on a few levels....

Interesting upset calls all the way around.

Not sure its that bad of a call. I can see either the UF or the Bama defense scoring a lot of points and winning the game.

I'll take Vandy getting 10.5 at UCON as my upset special. I also like NC State over the Hokies. Not sure why Va Tech would be favored on the road in this one (-3), but I'd take the Pack straight up here.

Who is Deputy Dupes?

I'm not going to mock you, you seem to be one of the more sane people here. Of course I pick Alabama. I have no clue whether they will win or lose, but I wouldn't be much of a fan going into it with a loser type mentality.

Plus Alabama does have some talent.

1 Alabama vs 7 Florida - Can UF find the offense to win? Bama - aint no one stopping them now
2 Ohio State at Illinois Illini
3 Boise State at New Mexico State BSU, dammit
4 Oregon vs 9 Stanford - Points like there is no tommorow... OUw
5 TCU at Colorado State TCU
8 Oklahoma RRR site vs 21 Texas BOOMER SOONER
10 Auburn vs Louisiana-Monroe - Auburn does deserve a bit of a rest Auburn
11 Wisconsin at 24 Michigan State - Both teams may be a bit over-rated, one has to win. Whiskey, and I don't think they are overrated...just playing over their heads. HAHAHAHAH
12 LSU vs Tennessee Tigahs
16 Miami (FL) at Clemson Clemson
17 Iowa vs 22 Penn State Iowa
18 USC vs Washington Please....Washington
20 Michigan at Indiana Michigan
23 North Carolina State vs Virginia Tech Wolfpack
25 Nevada at UNLV - What goes on in Vegas.....Nevada

Other Notables (quite a few good ones):
Texas A&M at OKSU Thursday specialTAMU
Navy at Air Force, both sport winning records, winner might be ranked Navy...being an Army guy, never have liked the AF... :)
ASU at OrSU, Season is over good-bowl wise for loser OrSU
UGA vs Colorado, the Rock Bottom Event UGA...get their receiver back

Extra Pick....Miss State over Alcorn State....after running thru LUS, Auburn and UGA, deserve a little break

The Michigan vs Indiana game seems to have a lot of interest this week. Will look up the team pages for both, I may have missed something here.

As for tOSU vs Ill: I wonder when the last time "battle" and "Champaign" were used in a sentence together....

Ben Chappell (qb Indiana) is pretty solid and if you have seen any of Meatchicken this season you know how atrocious their secondary is. Not really their fault. They are playing a bunch of guys with little to no experience. On the flip side, we all know how dangerous Mr. Robinson can be and Indy has not shown any signs of stopping the run in their first 3 games. I think the game will be a blast to watch. Now that I've said that, it will probably be pouring down rain and the score end up 6-2 or something.

I don't think Zook was cut out to be a head coach. He should go back to an assistant position like other guys that have not done as well at HC as assistant.

I dont see why tOSU won't win a walk against the fighting Zookers...I think you'll see a more focused defense, play fast, play aggressive, force a couple turnovers, get a pick 6. The Bucks roll 42-6 range...
