This Week's Picks Week 11

ICYMI: The Collge Football Playoff Rankings came out this week.

Number 1:  The Ohio State.  This is not a surprise. The Buckeyes have been killing everybody this year.

Number 2:  LSU.  I would have put LSU ahead Ahia State simply because I'm a Southerner and I'm prejudiced favor of the SEC.

Number 3:  Alabama.  Alabama is a really good team, I guess. Like The Ahia State, they've been killing everybody. Their soft schedule probably pulled them down to three. Plus, I think it is a law that Alabama has to make the playoffs.

Number 4:  Penn State.  It looks like Penn State has finally exorcised the ghost of JoePa and has made it back to the big time.

There you have it. Two Big Ten Schools and Two SEC schools.  Clemson was put in at 5 due to a soft schedule and the near loss to North Carolina. Georgia comes in at 6, which is the highest one loss team.

This Week's Picks!



Jawja vs Moo-souri.  After two ugly games, UGA looked pretty good against Florida last week. Now all Georgia has to do is win the rest of their games. Piece. Of. Cake.  Missouri is first on the list. Missouri started out strong this year but slipped back into the same old Missouri habits. UGA is just 14 1/2 point favorite against Missouri which begs the question: When did they start handing out 1/2 points in football? Dawgs win.



Wrecked vs The Hoos: Speaking of odds, Georgia Tech is a 16 point underdog against Virginia. However, Tech beat Miami which has beaten Virginia. As Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say, "It just goes to show you, Jane, anything can happen in college football.  But Tech beating Virginia won't happen. I mean they got them little bitty players and that big old husky punter. I mean what are they thinking down North Avenue" Virginia wins

The Lions of Nittany vs Minniesoda:  Flying under the radar this year is the University of Minnesota which hasn't lost a game all year. Really.  Neither has  Penn State. The coach of the Gophers (yup, there's a mascot to strike fear in an opponent) begged ESPN GAMEDAY to broadcast from their campus. Problem. There's a little game in Alabama that just a tad bit bigger. If Minnesota could win this game, people will finally take them seriously.  The problem is they won't.  Penn State wins.


Ellesyou vs Raw Tad. Number One versus Number Two.  The Game of the Year. The Bout to Knock You Out.  It is going to be interesting, but for some reason, I think this is LSU's year. LSU wins


Kennesaw State vs Campbell.  In case you didn't hear, My Beloved Owls lost last week which made getting to the FCS playoffs problematic.  The Campbell Camels (yes, Camels) are 6-2.  I think the Owls bounce back. Kennesaw wins.
