    Re: Big 10/College Football Pick'em

    First off... Let me take this time to wish all of you a HAPPY, JOYOUS, AND SAFE HOLIDAYS!

    OK... Here's this season's bowl schedule. Some of the names of these bowls anymore is just laughable. As well as some of the match-ups too. For one... Iowa vs Oklahoma?

    The point spread is indicated in red. And the way it works, for those with whom it may not be clear (confusing), we'll use the New Mexico Bowl as an example... Temple (-6) means that Temple is giving Wyoming 6 pts. So if you pick Temple, that means they must win by more then 6.

    And I got the spreads from the same site as last year...... http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/w...es_121711.html

    Now one might want to hold off just a bit before posting their picks because between now and them something could occur where some of those spreads may change. You know, a player(s) may go out and do something stupid and get suspended.

    Nebraska (-1) vs. South Carolina

    Gator Bowl
    Ohio State (-1.5) vs. Florida
    How one of my favorite bowls have fallen. From being the 2nd Big East/ACC matchup and usually a good one this is what like 5th or 6th big 10/Sec?

    Rose Bowl
    Wisconsin vs. Oregon (-6.5)
    Again take the over.

    Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
    Stanford vs. Oklahoma State (-3.5)

    JAN 3rd

    Sugar Bowl
    Michigan (-1.5) vs. Virginia Tech

    JAN 4th

    Orange Bowl
    West Virginia vs. Clemson (-3.5)

    JAN 6th

    AT&T Cotton Bowl
    Kansas State vs. Arkansas (-8.5)
    Message sent by the Big 12.

    JAN 7th

    Compass Bowl
    SMU vs. Pittsburgh (-7)
    Over/Under should be how many coaches Pitt has at the game.

    JAN 8th

    GoDaddy.com Bowl
    Arkansas State (-1) vs. Northern Illinois

    JAN 9th

    Allstate BCS National Championship Game
    No. 1 LSU (-1) vs. No. 2 Alabama

    I think LSU with the ultimate beatdown that will leave those dreaming of a rematch regretting missing the opportunity to see something else.

    Re: Big 10/College Football Pick'em

    I wasn't sure where to put this, so I thought I'd drop it here ...

    the bowl season doesn't seem to be very favorable for the Big10 this year. Traveling to other team's backyards, outranked by their opponents, and getting points from Vegas.

    Gulp!

    ---------------------------		---------		--------------------		--------------
    Purdue (UR) vs. W Mich (UR)		0			Detroit (Push)				+1
    Iowa (UR) vs. OKL (19)			-7			Arizona (Push)				+16
    NW (UR) vs. Tex A&M	(UR)		0			Houston, Tex (Doh!)			+11
    Ill (UR) vs. UCLA (UR)			0			San Fran (Doh!)				-1.5
    PSU (23) vs. Houston (17)		-6			Dallas, Tx (Doh!)			+9
    Mich St (13) vs. GA	(18)		+5			Tampa, FL (Push)			+2
    Neb (20) vs. SCar (9)			-11			Orlando, FL (Push)			-1
    OSU (UR) vs. FLA (UR)			0			Jacksonville, FL (Doh!)		         +1.5
    Wis (8) vs. Ore	(5)			-3			Pasedena, CA (Doh!)			+6.5
    Mich (12) vs. VaTech (11)		-1			New Orleans (Push)			-1.5

    The following games were really tight as far as the point spread goes. Some escaped by the hair of their chinny, chin, chin... and some didn't make it....

    Toledo-Air Force, Ohio-Utah State, Texas A&M-Northwestern, TCU-La. Tech, Mississippi State-Wake Forest, Michigan State-Georgia, Oklahoma State-Stanford, Wisconsin-Oregon, Oklahoma-Iowa, Washington-Baylor

    But here are the standings so far through January 2nd (29 games). Do me a favor guys and check yours for me. I double check everything, but I did make a coupe mistakes last year.

    Re: Big 10/College Football Pick'em

    Yeah. Now there's a big "dry spell" for me waiting for baseball to start back up with football coming to a close and I'm not much into basketball. LOL

    We started a pool last weekend with the NFL playoff games, through the Super Bowl, and last week I came out of that one 1-3. So I need to go 4-0 this weekend to get back in it. Again, this is why I stay out of Vegas. LOL
