This Week's Picks Week Eleven

 

 

You might have missed it with all of the election hoop-de-do, but the NCAA has released the seeding of the 12-team playoff on Tuesday.  

From #1 to #12 is as follows.

#1 Duckies
#2 Jawja
#3 Hercaines
#4 Mormons
#5 Ahia State
#6 Texsass
#7 The Lions Of Nittany
#8 Indiana Wants Me, Lawd I Can't Go Back There
#9 Tennysee
#10 Our Lady
#11 Bamy
#12 The Blue Turf People From Idaho

Of course, this is subject to change based on the school's record.  The first four seeds will get a bye.

Today, everyone here at Picks Central remembers Ben Herbstreit, Kirk Herbstreit's Golden Retriever, who passed away on Thursday. He was good boy.

 

 

This Week's Picks!

Jawja vs Ole Mess:  In the first seeding of the 12 seed playoff, Georgia is the #2 seed even though they are the #3 team in the country.  Georgia had a tough time with Florida last week. Carson Beck threw 400 interceptions. <Editor's Note: It was three> But a win is a win.  Ole Miss messed up on Arkansas something awful. Ole Miss would love to beat Georgia, but Georgia seems to play better against good teams.  It will be close, but UGA wins. 

Bumbles vs Myamee:  I had high hopes for the Bees, but the team is a Wreck. Miami is an excellent team and their quarterback, Cam Ward, could win The Heisman Trophy this year.  Miami wins.

Bamy vs Ellesyou:  Bama is still listed as a playoff team even though they don't seem like a playoff team.  LSU wants to be a playoff team, and one way to do this is to beat Alabama. Good luck. Bama wins.

Whoosers vs Meechigan:  This year's Cinderella (I know it is not basketball, but stick with me) is Indiana.  The Hoosiers haven't lost a game, which is really unusual.  On the other hand, Michigan is having a transition season under a new head coach.  Indiana wants to win this game. They will.  Indiana wins. 

My Beloved Owls vs UTEP:  I watched the Kennesaw State-Western Kentucky game for a few minutes last week. It was just long enough to see Western Kentucky score.  This week, the Owls travel out to the west Texas town of El Paso to play the University of Texas at El Paso Fighting Marty Robbins.  Just a joke.  It is the UTEP Miners.  Famous alumni of UTEP included F. Murray Abraham and Sam Donaldson.  UTEP is 1-8 for the season.  Owls win.
