Amazing that Mizzou made a bowl game, as horrible as they started. Kudos to them. I would really have liked to see Auburn against Penn St. That match up would be better than the barn vs UCF.

Are we gonna have a pickem this year on the bowl games? RTR!

Of course.  It is my only chance of winning this thing.  :lol2:

I noticed that Vanderbilt is not on that list.  After starting out 3 and 0, I guess they didn't want Bama after all.  :dunno:

It is amazing how a 59 to nothing beat down can ruin a whole season.  :lol2:

And I think we may have broken FSU for a decade or more.

Glad to see the preliminary bowls played BEFORE the playoffs this year.  About time!

Yes, the boogs get to play in the Peach Bowl - - right where they got erased from contention a few days ago.  And they play a bunch of malcontents who will likely slaughter them.
 :lol2:

Glad to see Brian Kelly has to contend with another physical team when ND plays LSU in the ciTrUs Bowl.

And the Big10 trio of second-rates, Wisconsin OSU and Penn State seem to get off a bit easy with games against Miami, USC and Washington, two PAC12s and Miami.

:lol:

Truer words were never spoken.   :lol2:

I must agree with you both. I couldn't win though if I went undefeated. RTR!

Looks like the betting lines are out for the bowl games.

Bama now favored by 2 1/2 over Clemson.

Georgia favored by 1 over OK.

It would be awesome if we had an All-SEC Final. 

I would love it! Kirby vs Saban.

Just heard Pruitt is taking the UT job. Look at all the former Saban assistants that Bama will be playing in the future: Kirby, Jimbo, Pruitt, and Muschamp.

And he's never lost to any of them.   ;D

....and won't.  8)

Games are posted.  I couldn't find lines for some of them so I just made them a pick 'em.

Well I got mine in so yall can see how to pick yours now. RTR!

Thanks.  I think those games are pickems.   :clap:

I thought most of them were, but it seemed like there was one that seemed suspect.

I don't know enough about these teams to know.   :lol:


Which game seems suspect?   ???

You mean this makes us even on these games. RTR!

I don't remember.  :dunno:

Don't forget to enter your picks.  The first games are Saturday.

HEY SC, I know you are sitting on top of the leaderboard for Week 14, but it's time to put up the Bowl leaderboard.   ;)

 :lol: :lol:

Yeah, I got one right first day!!

Looks like I'm starting out 2-2.   Probably not leaderboard material.  :-X

Looks like we might have 3 folks who went an impressive 4-1 on these early bowl games (and an equal number who went 1-4).

I have a hard time with these early bowls -- I've never seen either team play. 

Congrats to the leaders.   :worship:

I'm a miserable 2-3.   :(

 :wave:

You're behind Ricky!   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

And the Troy game was a gimme.   ;)

Attaboy, CP. Rub it in.  :(

:kickme:

Well I am pitiful. I am 3-2 out of the first 5. RTR!

Wanna trade?

Well where are you? RTR!

 :( :( well at 3-2 why ain't I in 4th place?  :lol3: :lol3:, RTR!

The computer, Wall-E, just doesn't like you.  :dunno:

Because you keep putting yourself on the bottom.   :lol:

The totem pole is crushing my face.

 :lol: :lol: :lol:
RTR!

Looks like Greg McElroy is holding up the totem pole in the analyst division.   :lol:

Hmm...looks like we have something in common.  ;)

LA Tech 42  SMU 3


Am I the only one who picked LA Tech?    8)


Did errybody else listen to Greg McElroy and go with SMU?   :-X


SC's rule #1, Never Pick The Team That Just Lost Its Coach.  

Yet SC took SMU?   ???


All kidding aside, anyone else got Skip Holtz's LA Tech?

The good news is that McElroy picked Clemson over OK in the Championship Game.   #+


Here are some of his other picks (and confidence points):

Oregon over Boise St (30)
CSU over Marshall (28)
Ark St over MTSU (24)
SMU over LT (14)
WKU over Georgia St (11)

I took La Tech. I thought it was a dead give on this one. RTR!

48-10 end of the Third Quarter.

Nice pick.  Looks like you'll finally pop up on the leader board.   #+

Dead give??  Why didn't I see that?   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

ricky had it figured out from the start.  I bought the Kool Aid at first from the "experts" and had SMU. But when I looked at it again, and realized that the coaching staff had bolted, it seemed like a huge ask for the incoming HC to prepare a team for a Bowl Game without knowing the system the team had been using, and without hiring his own staff yet.  SMU's offensive coordinator for the game was a graduate assistant -- he was one of the few left who knew the offense, but he had never called a game before. 

That strategy only works if you pay attention to who has lost their coach.  :lol2:

This^^^  :lol:

Apparently, every team I picked, except one, lost their coach.  :lol2:

FIU's QB goes out with an injury in the first quarter.

I found this pretty simple. I want on the Leader board then win all the picks and I can get there.  :lol: :D  :clap:, RTR!

All of the games are finished.  The top 3 is set, 4 and 5 will come down to the tie breaker.

According to ESPN we only had 261 yards.

 :lol: :lol:

Well I don't know where I finished but I sure had fun some this year. My name was actually in 2nd place for games one time this year. TY Lord. RTR!

You and I made the Top 10, but we got the same ecred as Gump and Lt. Dan.   :lol:

 :lol:

You should feel honored.  8)

 :worship: :worship: to even be behind or near CP is like walking in the White unescorted. What a privilege.  #+, RTR!

Sorry, Preacher, but most folks herein don't speak Revelation.   :tinfoil:
