NCAA FOOTBALL WEEK 9 PICK EM!!

What real proof do you have of this? You know, the type that the FBI would take seriously. If you do not have any please refrain from making wild accusations.

 

Here's the evidence that the BCS ratings stink like a big steaming pile:

Alabama's wins in 2012 to date

Michigan - W41-14
Western Kentucky - W35-0
Arkansas - W52-0
Florida Atlantic - W40-7
Ole Miss - W33-14
Missouri - W42-10
Tennessee - W44-13
Mississippi State - W38-7

Notre Dame's wins in 2012 to date

Navy - W50-10
Purdue - W20-17
Michigan State - W20-3
Michigan - W13-6
Miami (FL) - W41-3
Stanford - W20-13
Brigham Young - W17-14
Oklahoma - W30-13

Which team has had the most difficult opponents, Sherlock? Why would Alabama be ranked ahead of ND? I thought BCS rankings were largely based on schedule difficulty. Notre Dame hasn't had ONE Florida Atlantic or Western Kentucky on their schedule. ALL name opponents.

It stinks. I rest my case.

But the team to watch is Oregon. The Ducks beat Arizona 49-0. Arizona beat USC and put up 38 points on the board. Anybody who questions the Oregon defense is high. Oregon is the best college team in the nation, bar none. Next week USC is in for a big ass whoopin. And given the chance the Ducks would kick Bama's butt up and down the field.

Oh, and when everybody quetioned ND's strength at the start of the season I told you that they would be ranked in the top 10. I know a quality football team when I see one. Oregon is a better team than Bama.

Oregon will make a statement in Los Angeles next week that no one will be able to deny.

 

By your logic Alabama is better cause they kicked the crap out of Michigan while ND beat Michigan by 7. I see nothing different in ND's schedule.

Also, USC ain't nobody so you can throw that one in the trash.

I can't take your proof to the FBI. I don't need a 5150 call to my house.

 

If you can't see the difference between ND's and Alabama's schedule you need to get off that corn-fed / pork skin diet and starting eatin' some carrots, Buford.

Once Oregon whoops USC by 3 td's or more you naysayers will crawl back into the woodwork. Look how the Gator loss made Fucktard disappear. Fans with class admit when their teams aren't all that they're cracked up to me. They admit to it. Georgia was a much stronger team than Florida. The Bulldogs beat 'em straight up without any question which was the better team. Florida simply isn't national championship material. Oregon is.

Look at BamaBoy already making excuses for the Crimson on Saturday since they play LSU in Baton Rouge in front of Louisiana fans. If Bamaboy were confident in his Crimson it wouldn't matter where they played or who they played against. Championship teams win both home and away games under all sorts of adverse conditions. He's already trying to make excuses in advance in the event of a loss. You don't see me making excuses for the Ducks playing in front of 100,000 inhospitable Trojan fans in Los Angeles this coming weekend, do ya? Hell no. Unless the officiating is horrendous in favor of the Trojans and the Ducks lose, I would fully admit that the Ducks are not the better team. That's the difference between you people and me.

And I suspect that the FBI wouldn't have to make a trip to your home to know whether you're 5150 or not.

 

PICK 'EM LEADEROARD THROUGH WEEK #9


*********************************************************************

1. TINKRBELLE: (53-48) + (6-8) = (59-56) (51.3%) (98.3%) [The crowd favorite Tinkrbelle maintains the lead through Week #9 as we race toward the finish. Turn on the afterburners, Tink!]

2. FUCKTARD: (46-44) + (5-9) = (51-53) (49%) (88.9%) [The Gator loss took some wind out of Fucktard's sails and dropped her out of the 50% plus club.]

3. PALE HORSE: (38-39) + (5-9) = (43-48) (47.3%) (77.7%) [#3 ain't bad for an old nag. Huffin and puffin but hangin' on.]

4. BRONCOBOY: (48-55) + (4-10) = (52-65) (44.4%) (100%) [Tough week for Bronco but maintained 4th position.]

5. BAMABOY: (45-58) + (6-8) = (51-66) (43.6%) (100%) [Still grinding away in 5th and worried about trouble in Baton Rouge on Saturday.]

6. WHITE TRASH: (27-40) + (9-5) = (44.4%) (69.2%) [Great week for WT! 4% gain! Will run with the Premium ponies in Week #12 and could be a board leader at that time!]

7. BREAKING NEWS: (29-48) + (NP) = (29-48) (37.6%) (65.8%) [Unfortunately Breaking was a no-show for Week #9. He can stay in the race by joining us in Week #10 and regaining his Premium status by the end of the regular season with consistent play.]

8. NIGHT TRAIN LANE: (2-8) + (NP) = (2-8) (25%) (8.5%) [NTL retired from racing to spend more time with the family.]


************************************************** ******************

* First percentage is % of correct picks of total picks by each player.

* Second percentage is % of games each picker has played of the total 117 games that have been posted from Week #1 through Week #8. Those who have not picked at least 75% of the total 117 games are in the sub-premium category and are not qualified to be on top of the leaderboard. However, sub-premium players can join the premium group by picking all the games from this point on, as long as they raise their % of total games picked to 75% or more.

 

Stop making excuses in advance. It looks pathetic. If the Tide is as good as you say they are LSU shouldn't even be a bump in the road - in Baton Rouge or elsewhere.

The best team will win in Baton Rouge - just as the best team will win in Los Angeles.

If by some miracle USC beats Oregon you won't see me blaming it on a mean-spirited crowd. I would simply say that USC had the better team.

 

You'll have an excuse.

Did your mother ever tell you to keep your mouth shut?

 

The only acceptable excuse for losing a game is blatantly corrupt officiating that greatly favors one team or the other. But that's hard to do these days with instant replay. Hostile crowds is not an acceptable excuse. All teams play before hostile crowds. It comes with the territory. So don't go there.

LSU offense sucks. Don't try to make LSU sound better than they really are. LSU beat Auburn only by 2 points. LSU beat So. Carolina only by 2 points. LSU beat Texas A&M only by 5 points. I don't care where the BCS puts them - LSU is not that good a ball team. If Alabama can't beat them by at least 2 td's they don't belong in the #1 position. Period.

And I am already telling you that Oregon is a better team than Alabama. Even the folks on ESPN are saying that. So I'm not alone. And as the season plays out that will become crystal clear to you as well.

 

Wrong, Buford.

Unless the officiating was blatantly corrupt - which would be obvious to everyone - not just me - I would offer NO excuses should USC beat Oregon. I would simply state that USC had a better team than Oregon. Rain, sleet, snow or hostile crowds are no excuse.

I expect a fairly close game in the 1st half w/ USC.

2nd half Oregon blows them away.

 

You can say whatever you want. I will stick by the facts.

The Towson Tigers (who the F are they?) put 22 points on the board against LSU. That's the mark of a 2nd best defense in the nation? BS.

LSU beat Auburn by only 2 points (12-10). LSU beat So. Carolina by only 2 points (23-21). LSU beat Texas A&M by only 5 points (24-19). LSU lost to Florida by 8 points (14-6).

LSU is not a great team. Beating them would not be a major accomplishment.

ESPN is an east coast corporation that is biased against west coast teams. So to claim it is rooting for Oregon is baloney.

There you go again "Well my team has to play in front of a meaner crowd than your team does".

Pathetic. It's bad enough making excuses after the fact. But making excuses before the game even starts is laughable.

 

LSU is actually the 9th best defense. Oregon is 24th. USC is 25th.

It really doesn't matter though. The Tide will either play:

Georgia
Florida
South Carolina
Florida State

in the NC.

 

I'm in trouble.

 

And you'll be munching on some baked crow come game day 2013 too. I recommend washing it down with some Gator juice.
