I'll have the standings out tonight or tomorrow or whenever I sober up, but in the meantime here are the games. This is it, people. Our last big week. Put up or shut up. And remember, like last year, the NFL playoffs count THREE games each. So you should definitely take the blindfold off before throwing the dart. Cheryl, I'm talking to you....

KANSAS vs. Minnesota
Louisiana State vs. GA TECH
South Carolina vs. IOWA
UGA vs. Michigan State
Nebraska vs. CLEMPSON
Pennsylvania State vs. USC (you're not fooling anyone this time Ronald. No one would take the Nittany Lions anyway unless the coaches were deciding the game with a Metamucil drinking contest)
CINCY vs. Virginia Tech
Mississippi vs. TEXAS TECH
Kentucky vs. ECU
Utah vs. BAMA
Buffalo vs. UCONN
Ohio State vs. TEXAS
BALL ST vs. Tulsa
NFL playoffs
INDY at San Diego

Well. Well. Well. The season sure is tightening up.
houston AIR FORCE (it will be hard to beat houston twice in one year, but i always root for the military academy's)
oregon state PITTSBURGH
boston college VANDERBILT (a home game for vandy, 1st bowl in 700 years, BC's qb out with a broken collarbone, Vandy has only given un more than 21 points all year. This can only equal a nice Bobby Big Johnson flop)
KANSAS minnesota (isn't this the same exact game as Mizzu and Northeastern?)
lsu GEORGIA TECH (I am scared lsu is going to play an inspired game as the underdog)
south carolina IOWA (now this is what new year's bowl games are all about)
GEORGIA michigan st
nebraska CLEMSON (dabo sweeney is tellin Bo Pellini to walk that aisle)
PENN STATE southern cal (that's right Cullen. You saw it here 1st. Southern Cal has been readin how great they are for one week too long)
CINCY vd
ole miss TEXAS TECH
kentucky ECU
utah ALABAMA (does anyone remember a little team from Hawaii last year?)
BUFFALO uconn
ohio state TEXAS
ball state TULSA
NFL
INDY san diego
ATLANTA arizona
PHILLY minnesota
BALTIMORE miami
Well Ron. There you go you pansy. You rag on Chris, but I predict your picks will be turned in on 11:59 am tomorrow. This pool is like the Event Horizon. "You can't escape. She won't let you." Much the same advice I told Ronnie when he got married.
Rob, you're so silly. Ron has all of his picks in a word document on his computer. He made them back in October. He can teach you how to check the time it was last modified.
Bowls
Houston vs. AIRFORCE!!!
OREGON ST vs. Pittsburgh
BC vs. Vanderbilt
KANSAS vs. Minnesota (This is an eating contest, right?)
Louisiana State vs. GA TECH (I think we've determined who has the nicer Johnson. Georgia Tech is out by a head over Vanderbilt)
THE OTHER USC, or if you prefer, LITTLE CAROLINA vs. Iowa
GEORGIA vs. Michigan State (This is what the Bulldogs had in mind going into the season: a huge matchup against the Spartans. Wait, that was the Trojans. Some Greek themed team... who cares)
Nebraska vs. CLEMSON (I hereby nominate Billy Napier as the most successful ex-Paladin football player, especially since Jerome Felton ran for just one yard for the worst team in professional football history)
Pennsylvania State vs. USC
Cincinnati vs. VT
Mississippi vs. TEXAS TECH
KENTUCKY vs. East Carolina
Utah vs. ALABAMA (Thank the good Lord I won't be in Alabama next year to hear the hype)
BUFFALO vs. Connecticut
Ohio State vs. TEXAS
Ball State vs. TULSA
NFL playoffs
INDY at San Diego (This is a much better game than Indy at the Jets or New England. Yep, I'd much rather watch this game)
ATLANTA at Arizona (I'll be willing to bet you that the demographic of the Falcon fan has changed dramatically since the 06 season. Now theres a good white boy quarterback that the good ol boy network in Georgia can get behind, and dog fighting is a thing of the past)
PHILLY at Minnesota (Let's see... Andy Reid, a mediocre coach and Donovan McNabb a better than average QB vs. Brad Childress a bad coach and Tavarus Jackson a bad QB... Yep, I'm taking Reid on the road, even if he does need to employ a security force to watch his children when he's out of town)
Baltimore at MIAMI (Big win last week Cullen, keep the momentum going)
You know, Amy has quietly had a good season - really turning it on when it was too late to matter. She's sort of like our very own Kelly Johnson.

You guys think getting Chris' picks like this sucks. Imagine figuring up how he did. It's a goddam nightmare. There should definitely be a two-game penalty for ruining my life.

HOUSTON vs. Air Force
ORGAN STATE vs. Pittsburgh As much as I want to see the Beavers get licked one more time. Sorry. It was the last chance this season.
BC vs. Vanderbilt Did Rob put stock in Dandy's homefield advantage?
KANSAS vs. Minnesota I guess. It's pretty clear by now that the Big 12 was way overrated.
Louisiana State vs. GEORGIA TECH Just can't root for LSU in this game.
These may change:
South Carolina vs. IOWA
GEORGIA vs. Michigan State
Nebraska vs. CLEMSON
Pennsylvania State vs. USC
CINCINNATI vs. Virginia Tech
Come on Ron. Don't be like that buddy. You are still somehow in second place.
More Chris shenanigans:
Kentucky vs. EAST CAROLINA
Utah vs. ALABAMA
IOWA vs. South Carolina
GEORGIA vs. Michigan State
NEBRASKA vs. Clemson
USC vs. Penn State
CINCINNATI vs. Virginia Tech
TEXAS TECH vs. Mississippi
I'm changing my pick to VIRGINIA TECH
I'll switch picks to BUFFALO over UConn. I figure I may as well try to lose all of my games this week to really go down in flames.
I'm just not seeing any upsets today.
Mississippi vs. TEXAS TECH
Kentucky vs. ECU
Utah vs. BAMA
Chris' latest text:
He now has TEXAS TECH beating Minnesota
Did he get mugged by dad?
Cullen I feel you mad. See this is the eternal battle of good vs evil and judging by the games yesterday, with obviously Evil prevailing. VT and Southern Cal winning in one day. That is awesome. Anyhoo, because of that and because I had the stones to pick a team not in cahoots with Satan, (Ronnie you wuss!) I will be playing catchup and will now take KENTUCKY to beat ecu. So I will either trim a game or two or will end in Lane Cooper land, you know minus the male fellatio.
I'm changing my pick to Utah.
Man, I'm falling in the standings worse than Tony Romo fell in the shower. Minus the male fellatio of course.
Could yesterday have been any more humiliating to anyone who thinks they know anything about football. I'm afraid to drive a stick or use a remote control now. I never knew just how stupid I really was.
That said:
BUFFALO vs. Connecticut The homefield advantage is huge in bowls. Just ask Texas Tech. And especially in Canada, that expects to see natives with bones in their lips hitting goat heads with elephant tusks.
NFL playoffs
INDY at San Diego
Atlanta at ARIZONA
Chris takes:
UCONN vs. Buffalo
ATLANTA at Arizona
INDY at San Diego
BALTIMORE at Miami
PHILLY at Minnesota
I've got:
Baltimore at MIAMI
PHILLY at Minnie Mouse
That's right bitches - playing for first.
I am changing pick to Minnesota. Goin out blazin son!!!!!!!!!
This week was tailor made for an Ed victory.
Sigh
Ohio State vs. TEXAS
Chris takes:
TEXAS vs. Ohio State
BALL STATE vs. Tulsa
FLORIDA vs. Oklahoma
Although, I don't believe I had the Texas game before last night. Hmmm....
One last swing for the fences. I've got TULSA
"Although, I don't believe I had the Texas game before last night. Hmmm...."
Make sure to check his computer for word documents like you did for Kristy.
See, here's the thing, with a text there is no computer document. Unless you had the text saved in drafts. There might be a way to check that. Chris, was your text saved in drafts? Can you prove it was there before the game started?
If you can, you get the win. If not, loss.
By the way, anonymous, stop hiding behind your inability to remember your login.
And one more thing: If those two games Kristy got make one shred of difference in the overall standings we'll vote on whether she should have gotten the game. So can we please move on?
