re: Utah St. - Yes, the Utah State defense is that good. - They won the last five in-a-row, including a shut out of Colorado St. - They lost to USC 17-14 in Los Angeles IMHO Northern Illinois was overrated all year. They never should have been in the conversation for a BCS bowl game. Their QB is overrated too...
ND <r>I'm 4-4, honestly, I don't know why I bother to enter these contests. I suck at it. Of course it would help if I made pics based on logical conclusions rather than just picking teams I hate to lose. <E></E></r>
I'm with ya Tim. It's all in fun though. I had to miss out on the other contest and I wasn't about to miss out on this one. I'll be honest 'Sure, why not?!' was my reasoning behind at least half of my picks. I'm not even sure how I'm doing. I should probably check that.
OK, so you suck Tim. But AJ, Gipper and Don suck even moere than you! And who sucks more at this point than Stu, who has the f'n cat helping him. Look on the bright side. 8)

I think we're talking about my 4-7 record, T, beaten only by Mrs. McCord at 3-8. Several others, including yourself, have matched my futility.
Kes and I were talking about this before he was called off to do parent stuff. Neither of us would be shocked to see UCF beat Baylor. Baylor's thing is speed and tempo making their opposition play in space. Well, O'Leary's teams are really fast. They've proven they can play at a variety of speeds (similar to Alabama) and his teams usually tackle quite well. I, or we, probably should have thought about that pick that much when we made them. I'm quite sure I picked Baylor using my 'sure, why not?' factoring. UCF is a good football team. Hats off to O'Leary. I, for one, still wonder what could have been.
Along with all that Corey said... Baylor has ZERO "tough" factor. They are built on smoke and flash and accustomed to being ahead. The one "dangerous" game they played this year... they lost (and I called it, ask Kes). I picked Baylor as a win-win. Get the points if they manage to win. Gloat all over my smart-ass sister-in-law (Baylor alum) if they lose. (She had the bad fortune to text me during the first half of the Chick bowl). Oh how I'm going to enjoy the coming months.
ahhh that glorious time of year when your team is in the garage following a bowl win and you can sit back to enjoy the potential chaos of the upcoming bowl games....with bragging rights for the off-season.
It gets interesting now. Looking at Tom sitting at #1 but his possible points are less than an number of his pursuers.
Gator on Gator going into the final lap! Bill has a little edge despite being in 2nd place right now.
Man, it took forever for this thread to become about the Gators. It usually only takes a few posts...
How did you people allow me to creep back up to 5th place??? I thought for sure I was going to be a cellar dweller after so many of my picks tanked! You guys must've been more drunk that I was!!! :wink:
ND <t>Scott,<br/> <br/> Oh you don't have to be worried about being a cellar dweller, I've got that all locked up as usual.</t>
