Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine LegionWorld College Game Week 2009

I don't know if that could ever happen in the SEC with Football,to put it in perspective I think Kentucky got its first top 50 recruiting class in the nation in a long time,and it still was the second to last class in the conference!

The only thing I can say is,is it Basketball season yet!

Lardy, great pick on the USC upset!! The Ducks really have their number! I'm kicking myself for not goin for it too.

Here are my choices for this week. Kinda busy so I won't have time to add reasons.

1. UConn @ Cincinnati ~ Hate to do it, but I'll take Cincy

2. Wake Forest @ Georgia Tech ~ Georgia Tech though I'll be rooting for WF

3. Northwestern @ Iowa ~ Iowa all the way

4. Florida State @ Clemson ~ Clemson

5. South Carolina @ Arkansas ~ Tough one but I'll have to take Arkansas at home

6. Oklahoma @ Nebraska ~ Even without Sam Bradford, I'll take Oklahoma

7. LSU @ Alabama ~ LSU has a shot but I'll take Bama at home.

8. Ohio State @ Penn State ~ Penn State

9. Oregon @ Stanford ~ Oregon

10. Oregon State @ Cal ~ Oregon State

Uconn

<strike>UConn</strike> @ Cincinnati
I'd rather the Huskies win for Des, but I don't see them beating the durable Bearcats.

<strike>Wake Forest</strike> @ Georgia Tech
Potential upset here, but I think the 'Jackets have too much sting for the Deacs.

<strike>Northwestern</strike> @ Iowa
Iowa's probably gonna win by the skin of their teeth....again!

<strike>Florida State</strike> @ Clemson
This one scares the bejeezus outta me! There's no reason Clemson should lose, except that they're Clemson! Come ON, guys!!!

South Carolina @ <strike>Arkansas</strike>
I'm admittedly plaing favorites here (probably like Des is with UConn), but I know that SC can beat these guys. ANYTHING to avoid another late-season swoon!

Oklahoma @ <strike>Nebraska</strike>
The Sooners are still a tough team even without Bradford, and the 'Huskers are still a long way from the Tom Osborne days.

<strike>LSU</strike> @ Alabama
If this were in Baton Rouge, I'd almost certainly pick LSU here because the Tide has looked shaky in recent outings, but home field should give Alabama the edge. I'm still tempted, though!

<strike>Ohio State</strike> @ Penn State
Should be a good game, but I don't see a sad day at Happy Valley in the cards Saturday.

Oregon @ <strike>Stanford</strike>
I bet this one's very close as Oregon's probably still gonna be on a post-USC high and not be all there mentally, but the Ducks should squeak by.

Oregon State @ <strike>Cal</strike>
This feels like a Pick'Em type game to me, so I'll stick with the home tea--oh, phuck it! I'll take the Beavers instead cuz Cal's just too wussy-fied!

1. Cincinnati
2. Georgia Tech
3. Iowa
4. FS
5. Arkansas
6. Oklahoma
7. Alabama
8. Penn State
9. Oregon
10.Cal

*whew* I just knew that if everyone picked Clemson, they'd have ZERO chance of winning! Thanks, Rick!

You'll notice, I didn't pick the Gamecocks, either.

Yeah, about that...

Looks like the swoon is on.

Eeehhhhyuuuup! Gotta tell ya, love the Gamecocks, but its like lovin' the Cubs. Look good at first, then crumple in the end.

Same ole' same ole'

Aaannnddd here are the ten games to ponder for this weekend. Please note that the first game is on Friday night so make sure to have your picks posted before the start of the game.

1. West Virginia @ Cincinnati - FRIDAY NIGHT
2. Michigan @ Wisconsin
3. Georgia Tech @ Duke
4. Stanford @ USC
5. Florida @ South Carolina
6. Iowa @ Ohio State
7. Miami @ North Carolina
8. Auburn @ Georgia
9. Utah @ TCU
10. Notre Dame @ Pitt

Here are my picks for this week...

1. West Virginia @ Cincinnati - FRIDAY NIGHT ~ Should be one of the best games this week. Two powerful, high scoring offenses. WVU is very good but I think the Bearcats are better. Cincy for the win.

2. Michigan @ Wisconsin ~ Here we are in mid November and I still can't figure out Michigan! I'm taking Wisconsin at home and keeping my fingers crossed.

3. Georgia Tech @ Duke ~ Georgia Tech needs to win this last conference game in order to insure a spot in the ACC title game. If they lose and Miami wins their two remaining games, Miami edges out GT to play in the championship. While I'll be rooting for Duke to pull off the upset, I have to pick Georgia Tech to win.

4. Stanford @ USC ~ Another tough call. Have to take USC at home however.

5. Florida @ South Carolina ~ I would love to see the Gamecocks win this one but they just haven't been consistent enough this year though I believe they have the talent to do it. I'm going to have to take Florida to win.

6. Iowa @ Ohio State ~ What a difference a game makes! Until last week, I was certain that Iowa would run the table. Now I'm not so sure but I will take the Hawkeyes anyway.

7. Miami @ North Carolina ~ NC was supposed to contend for the ACC Championship this year. Instead, it's Miami that has the chance to still make it there. Miami for the win.

8. Auburn @ Georgia ~ Lots of questions remain about both of these teams. Auburn has been a bit more consistent so I'll take them to win on the road.

9. Utah @ TCU ~ Utah is good but I don't think they can stop TCU this year.

10. Notre Dame @ Pitt ~ ND has already lost its guarantee to play in a BCS Bowl game. I suspect that after this week, they will also be losing their coach. Pitt should be able to deal with them handily.

1. <strike>West Virginia</strike> @ Cincinnati - FRIDAY NIGHT
Close call here, but I think home field's the decider.

2. <strike>Michigan</strike> @ Wisconsin
The one I struggled with the most. In the end I'll go with the better record and the homefield. Plus, Michigan's burned me more than most this year.

3. Georgia Tech @ <strike>Duke</strike>
Hard to see even an improved Duke beating Tech at home.

4. <strike>Stanford</strike> @ USC
An off year for USC for sure, but a third loss occurring at home is almost unthinkable!

5. Florida @ <strike>South Carolina</strike>
Cocks may make it closer than expected, but they will surely lose.

6. <strike>Iowa</strike> @ Ohio State
OSU's definitely improving. I think Iowa loses it's second in a row.

7. <strike>Miami</strike> @ North Carolina
I think the Canes fall to their old coach again.

8. <strike>Auburn</strike> @ Georgia
Pride and their home field should help buoy the Bulldogs in a down year.

9. <strike>Utah</strike> @ TCU
TCU's the real deal. Utah? Not so much.

10. <strike>Notre Dame</strike> @ Pitt
So endeth the Charlie Weiss era?

Welp, here's mine.

1. West Virginia @ Cincinnati - Cin
2. Michigan @ Wisconsin - Mich
3. Georgia Tech @ Duke - GT
4. Stanford @ USC - Gimme Stanford for hits and miggles
5. Florida @ South Carolina - Oh, most assuredly F
6. Iowa @ Ohio State - Ohio State
7. Miami @ North Carolina - All points MI AmA
8. Auburn @ Georgia - No clue...Gimme Georgia
9. Utah @ TCU - TCU
10. Notre Dame @ Pitt - Pitt

Okay, I don't know the rest, haven't seen any scores, but....Picked Stanford and Ohi state.

And I picked florida over my beloved USC. I was right but it was a very close game compared to last years, so maybe USC is starting to turn the corner. Still, its time to stop hopping to just keep it close and start looking for wins.

Spurrier is getting paid very well. Time to earn it.

Totals for last week:

1. West Virginia @ Cincinnati - Cin *Cinn for win
2. Michigan @ Wisconsin - Mich * Wisconsin for win
3. Georgia Tech @ Duke - GT * GT for win
4. Stanford @ USC - Gimme Stanford for hits and miggles *Stanford for win
5. Florida @ South Carolina - Oh, most assuredly F * F for win
6. Iowa @ Ohio State - Ohio State * Ohi for win
7. Miami @ North Carolina - All points MI AmA *NC for win
8. Auburn @ Georgia - No clue...Gimme Georgia *Georgia for win.
9. Utah @ TCU - TCU *TCU for win
10. Notre Dame @ Pitt - Pitt *Pitt for win.

Hey, not bad. only got two wrong. NC state is coming along much better than I thought, and the wisconsin win over Mich. was news to me. So, thats a score of 80 %. Not bad after a couple of weeks of bad choices.

Here are the results...Congrats to bot rick & Lardy for a great week of picks

rickshaw1 - 80%
Lard Lad - 90%
