Week 6: Pick'em

[3xWVUenginEER]

WVU is on a bye week so.....

Tie breaker is points in TX Tech @ K State game. Just got done with K State, and play TX Tech next. Some logic there.

Tried to space it out amongst the P5 conferences, except there isn't one real good B1G game this week imo.
Didn't want to put Maryland @ Iran either, don't want to pick Iran.

Got 15 P5 conference games. Got them down in order of kickoff.

Friday
Clemson @ BC

Saturday
LSU @ FLORIDA
Auburn @ Miss State
Oklahoma vs Texas - "In the Cotton Bowl" as Brent would say

Tennessee @ TX A&M
VA Tech @ UNC -hard to pick either school due to disdain for both.
Iowa State @ OK State

TX Tech @ K State
BAMA @ Arkansas
UGA @ SC
Washington @ Oregon
FSU @ Miami

Zona @ Utah
UCLA @ AZ State
Washington State @ Stanford

Good luck to everybody and enjoy.
Deadline is Friday Night prior to kickoff for Clemson @ BC.


My picks
Clemson but closer than you'd think. Big win vs Louisville & they could be on let down alert.

LSU- bet they lose since I'm picking them to win. Watch FLORIDA find an offense.
Mississippi State
Oklahoma

TX A&M
VA Tech
OK State

K State-Snyders at home (51 pts total)
Bama-this one is pickem to me
UGA
Washington
Miami

Utah-yeah I just like picking against that A-Hole
UCLA
Stanford

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

K. State - Tech defense is horrible so is their run D 58 total pts.

Utah - Rod might be jobless soon.
UCLA
Stanford

I think there are some tough picks on this skate. The BAMA at Arkansas is one of about 5 style match ups that make the games "Pick'em".

I almost put Vandy at Kentucky but there's a limit to how much SEC at the bottom I could take.

Agreed...this is tough sledding in some of these match ups this week...and makes it fun....especially on a bye week.

[3xWVUenginEER]

For the record, had I put Vandy @ Kentucky on the slate, I'd have taken Kentucky cause Vandy has no offense and Kentucky can score, at home even more so.

I just couldn't put that game on there. Too much SEC and at the bottom, I can't do.

I'm going off the radar this weekend. Check back in Sunday evening.
Snarky comments again are free.

TX Tech @ K State - no idea what to expect in this one, since Mahomes may not play, however that backup did well last week. TT with a good offense and KSU with a good defense - KSU 27 Tortilla flingers 23 - total 50.

Friday
Clemson @ BC - Clemson

Saturday
LSU @ FLORIDA - UF, not that I think they are very good, but LSU is down and UF is home.
Auburn @ Miss State - Auburn
Oklahoma vs Texas - "In the Cotton Bowl" as Brent would say - Sooners

Tennessee @ TX A&M - Aggies, the Vols used all of their luck last week.
VA Tech @ UNC - I'm going with the academic cheaters, UNC
Iowa State @ OK State - OK State

TX Tech @ K State - KSU with the home edge.
BAMA @ Arkansas - Alabama
UGA @ SC - two teams that aren't that great but get a lot recognition simply because they are in the SEC, Bulldogs win.
Washington @ Oregon - Washington, they are the real deal.
FSU @ Miami - Miami in a close one

Zona @ Utah - Utes stomp the dick.
UCLA @ AZ State - UCLA
Washington State @ Stanford - Stanford

That Vols/Aggies game needs a pick country...I missed one last week myself lol...

Thanks a bunch, man!

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

I was hoping someone would pick S.Carolina over UGA so we could shout GO COCKS!

 

[torontoeers]

That LSU /Fla game now postponed...wondering if same eventually in Miami?

Stay safe Southern Coast Mountaineers....hopefully Matthew loses some of his temper or stays out to sea...

 

[WVex-pat in GA]

The LSU/UFL game is the only one postponed so far in the Big Boy league, some smaller schools have cancelled as well. I'm thinking Miami/ FSU, UGA/SC are in jeopardy also. Probably know something late tonight or tomorrow.

Tell me you're not in that Brunswick/Savannah corridor ex-pat...looks like things could get nasty down there!

Nope, I'm up in the high country, North GA Mountains. Just like home!

I hear the UGA/SC game will move to Sunday. Nothing on Miami as yet.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

The place I vacation-Daytona Brach Shores got hit but not as hard as feared. I saw Some pics of the the places I go. I've seen worse in the Carolinas before.

Hope the best for those in the path.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Update after game 1 on the slate, everyone is tied. That is all.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Update UGA @ SC is on for Sunday on the SEC network @ 2:30 pm.

I'll probably watch that cause the NFL is really boring to me.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

So far winners are

Clemson
LSU @ Florida postponed
Auburn
Oklahoma

A&M
VA Tech
OK State


UGA @ SC - see sun at 2:30

Every other game in progress or HASNT started.

I think judging by current scores
Washington
Bama
Edit add the fighting Bill Snyders of K State (82-yeah 82 pts, not a misprint)
Will win

Other evening games still in doubt & too close
FSU @ Miami

Should be a heck of a night.

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

In a game not not on the slate, but mentioned earlier, Vandy wrapped up 7th place in the SEC east by losing @ Kentucky 20-13.

Could this be the year the 3-3 Kentucky Wildcats go to a Bowl Game?
UGGH Not Bloody Likely!

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Btw BYU beat @ Michigan State 31-14.

Those Cougars have played a lot of tough games through the first 6.

Took em in my week to week elimination pool (we need to pick different teams weekly from all P5 Conferences, and can only pick a team once for the season....we round out the BIG 12 with BYU, and Houston although any game with those 2 must involve another P5)....And was rather nervous to do so. Also took the Demon Deacons...yes sir!!!

 

[torontoeers]

I'm tired but....this Candy Cane/Criminoles game is getting interesting...

 

[torontoeers]

Blocked PAT! Gsus...who did I pick? I think the Canes!?! This kicker is automatic...arrghh!!!.....well at least we all took the Canes it seems...

 

[3xWVUenginEER]

Final winners after Sarurday are

Clemson
LSU @ Florida postponed
Auburn
Oklahoma

A&M
VA Tech
OK State


Every other game in progress or HASNT started.

I think judging by current scores
Washington
Bama
Kansas State
FSU

Utah-yeah that A-Hole got beat again
Arizona State
Washington State-Stanford has no pass defense. Stanford was the only pick I just knew was gonna bust me.

Still have 1 game today
UGA @ SC - see sun at 2:30

After 13 games (No LSU @ Florida)

I am at 9-4.
So is Torontoeers and Country Roads.

We all 3 have UGA today

Three way tiebreaker goes to the points

Country Roads 50
3xWVUenginEER 51
Torontoeers 62

Actual score 82, winner Toronroeers

Now that is barring I didn't make a mistake reading this.

Still a great Saturday of football!
