i cant believe im reading this!! lol you were one of vick's main haters on this board! dont worry, everybody will come around eventually

my upsets are northwestern over osu in the shoe, game cocks over the gators (spurrier is riding a hot team and who better to beat the gators?) and clemson over florida state just cause i wanted to make another pick.

NW may be a spoiler team, but in The Shoe, on senior day, with no D against an on a roll O? Don't think so. A month ago I would have told you this game was scaring the crap out of me, but not anymore. Ask Wisconsin how the exact same scenario went for them last week.

[BingeAndPurge]

Also, if I wasn't a Buckeye fan that doesn't pick against his own team I'd be all over this pick.

[LuckyBoy]

i agree nw has no defense, well at least one that keeps the stats pretty. but they are opportunistic and you cant deny that offense is ridiculous. but just like i said, it's an upset pick. not too many are expecting nw to walk into the shoe with all the conditions you say and have them walk away with a w. but after what they did to iowa last week i just got a hunch. about wisconsin, they are a great team but are obviously run first oriented and penn states lb's are too fast for what they try to do. shut down the run against the badgers and they have a problem even tho stocco has become much better than i ever anticipated from watching him in the past.

I AM BIG OHIO STATE FAN.

Sorry Hag.

Bowden Bowl at Clemson. FSU favored by 1 1/2 last I heard. I think Bobby's only lost this game once? Not gonna touch this game.

This is a strange week overall. The spreads this week are either huge or small. OSU is getting 18 at home against NW. I don't know, I think it'll be more like 10 knowing Tressel and his uncanny ability to keep good teams close, no matter what they've done the past 3 games considering 2 of those were the powerhouses of Indi and Illini.

My WTF picks are Rutgers over Louisville, and Oklahoma State over Texas Tech.

Wisconsin got exploited and used last week. I say they keep the trend against Iowa this week. Same goes with ASU over UCLA.

My "if there is a God" pick is Cal over USC

Oh, and Bama's run comes to a halt due to crappy O against LSU. Shockley is back in Georgia and they beat Auburn.

[Rogue Drone]

OSU by +18 over NU at home, I"d bet that. I know what you mean about maddening conservative Tressel/Lloydball but Basanez will be under constant heavy pressure, he'll never hit his rythym to burn the Buckeye secondary and your O will carve up that weak D.

The same thing will happen against UM. Chad Henne will get flushed from the pocket and be throwing balls into the stands, he can't handle pressure, but THE game is barely predicatable.

It's too bad the Bucks can't rematch with the Lions, I'd bet Scarlet and Grey and will schizo Sparty play to their potential and piss on Joe Pa's year?, a definite possibility.

Wisky and the Hawks,Who knows, could go either way, can't call that one.

Georgia -Auburn should be a good one, well matched there, I agree on the Bulldogs with Shockley at 90%, and LSU in a tight one over Alabama, LSU's D-line and Addai's running will grind it out in the last quarter.

2 pointless games no one cares about; 1 an upset, the other is not:
Nevada covers against New Mexico State
Ball State wins out right(at +6) on the road against Eastern Michigan.

Enjoy and I hope I am right

Remember, Bama has had no trouble moving the football up and down the field. They have A LOT of problems in the redzone; which is what matters of course.

I've seen almost every single game; every one of them that was televised (cept the few PPVS that were against unranked non-conference teams). Ever since Prothro was hurt, they havent been doing well in the red zone against good defenses. They DO have the talent, however. If you've watched the games, you'll understand... against both Tennessee, Ole Miss and MS State they moved the ball at will pretty much throughout the game, they just couldnt make the score; either due to turnovers like in the MS State game; or stalled offense due to bad passing plays.

Predictions? Shula fixes the redzone problems just enough to eek out a win by 7pts... 17-10 Bama. LSU doesnt have the defensive talent that Bama does. They barely beat florida, they barely beat Auburn, and they LOST to Tennessee

Georgia over Auburn IF Shockley is healthy (I mean if he's playing like his old self)... Auburn winning if not; both options will be close < 10 pts

And I'm going with the upset pick; South Carolina over Fla Just barely

I hope you played them b/c both cashed.

Went down just how I picked em for the SEC. S.C., LSU, and Auburn all pulling off upsets. Go Tigers! (Im from Louisiana)They should have had the game won without going into overtime. Their kicker can punt like no other, but cannot kick a field goal for ****.

[Matthew D]

LSU was not an upset.. most people had them picked to beat us (Alabama)

[jmh80]

Yeah, it wasn't an LSU upset. They were favored by Vegas.

[LuckyBoy]

i got two out of three, not terrible. but that northwestern game *pulls collar*.......

[z28man]

Sorry, wasnt going by Vegas, just by ranking and LSU having a loss while Bama was undefeated and most importantly playing in Bama. So OK, technically it wasnt an upset.

[Rogue Drone]

The Iron Bowl should be, as always, interesting. Auburn won't jam up the Bama offense as much as LSU did, if the Tide receivers can stop dropping the ball they might, maybe, give the better than LSU offense a game of it.

The Auburn D is fast. Bama will have to screen and slant for fast hits underneath and predominately run the guard gaps to slow down the game and keep the Auburn O in the clutches of the Bama D as much as possible.

[BingeAndPurge]

There is a funny stat I saw on MSU. Not sure
