WEEK #15 SCHEDULE
BIG TEN
No. 3 Ohio State vs. No. 11 Michigan State
OTHER NATIONAL GAMES
No. 20 Louisville at Cincinnati THURSDAY NIGHT GAME
Bowling Green vs. No. 14 Northern Illinois FRIDAY NIGHT GAME
No. 5 Missouri vs. No. 4 Auburn
No. 8 Stanford at No. 12 Arizona State
No. 18 Oklahoma at No. 7 Oklahoma State
No. 24 Duke vs. No. 2 Florida State
Texas at No. 9 Baylor
Go Gators!
I'm taking Cincinnati tonight and N.Illinois tomorrow night. Should have the rest of my picks in Saturday morning.
Alright folks.... here's the final regular season standings.
Congrats to the winners of each respective category (highlighted). As always, it was a lot of fun. I enjoy doing this every year.
Coach Bombay, redhawkfish, VottoFan54, Puffy, and KronoRed all took MSU in the the B10 title game.
Congrats to MSU for their victory over OSU. Now go out to the West Coast, represent the B10 well, and beat Stanford in the Rose Bowl.
Question! .... how many people (especially Buckeye fans) feel it was maybe a "blessing in disguise" that OSU lost simply for the fact they would have probably gotten embarrassed, thanks to their pass defense, playing against FSU (Winston)?
Several of us went 5-2 in Other National Games, the rest went 4-3, 3-4, and one at 2-5.
I was surprised that N. Illinois lost to Bowling Green. No one took BG in that one. Nor did anyone pick Oklahoma to beat Oklahoma State. The Auburn-Mizz game was a darn good one. They don't play defense in the SEC? LOL

Here is the corrected final standings, and do me a favor people - even though I go over my math two, three times every week to insure it's accuracy - I'm an old fart who is forgetful. So double check your numbers for my sake.Did my picks this week not count?

No problemsthought I had violated a rule or something
Go Gators!
I'm going to give myself a shared national championship since I picked the most games right. I'm going to make tee shirts and everything. If you want one let me know, they are $28.
Also thanks again GAC for doing this and keeping track all seson. Very much appreciated!
Thanks GAC. Enjoyable as always. I didn't do very well this year so I am glad I didn't have any money on it. Looking forward to the bowl games. I'm awful at those games.

GAC: Thanks again for all your hard work on this thread! I had a lot of fun and I didn't do too badly overall for either section so yay me.

The lines (point spread) have come out of Vegas on the Bowl games, but I'm gonna wait a few days before posting to see if there are any adjustments. I'll have it posted no later then this weekend folks.

You had a lot of success in-conference, but your out-of-conference performance leaves a lot to be desired...I'm going to give myself a shared national championship since I picked the most games right. I'm going to make tee shirts and everything. If you want one let me know, they are $28.

Yeah I do pretty good on the major conference stuff, but when he puts up a MAC game or something I think I miss everyone of those. I probably should do some more research since this is the 2nd or 3rd year that I have been terrible at the other games.You had a lot of success in-conference, but your out-of-conference performance leaves a lot to be desired...
Here's the Bowl schedule with the lines. Every year I simply laugh at some of the names for these Bowls.
And just in case someone participates, but may not be clear on how point spreads work, I'll give an example using the first game....
Colorado State (7-6) vs. Washington State (6-6) (-4)
Washington State would be the favorite, and the (-4) is how many points they are giving the underdog Colorado State. If one picks Washington State to win, in order to win, they would have to beat Colorado State by a margin greater than 4. If they were to only win by 4 you would lose.
Good luck to all! The last few years we all usually got our butts beat when playing these Bowls using the lines. LOL
