This weeks pick'em games

Championship games and the last of the rivalries.

Champ. games first
Thurs: Mac
Cent. Mich. vs. Ohio--A coach who bypassed the Big XII against a coach who came from the Big XII. Ohio has been a celler dweller for years and Solich now has them playing in the big game in year two. MY PICK= Ohio

Fri: Con. USA
So.Miss. vs Houston--I dont really know much about either team. NU should have played Houston this year would have looked better then Nichols St. MY PICK=Houston

Sat: ACC
Wake Forest vs. Geo. Tech--Wow who would have predicted this at the start of the year? I have to root for the cinderella Wake. If for no other reason then NU plays them next year and it will make the schedule look better playing the ACC champ. MY PICK=Wake

SEC
Arkansas vs. Florida--I dont know who to pick in this one. The only common opponent that went different is LSU. Fla beat them but Ark. lost. Neither really stands out against the other. MY PICK= Arkansas in the upset.

Big XII
NU vs OU-- Finally the real rivalry. Its about time this game was for the Championship. Pederson not playing for OU gives NU an advantage. I like NUs chances against OU because they dont have a great passing game and NU plays better against the run. If we turn OU into a passing team and we can pass the ball at all we win. MY PICK=NU of course.

Other games:

Rutgers@West Virginia--If Rutgers wins they win the Big East. If not and Louisville wins they win it. Rooting for cinderella2. MY PICK=Rutgers

USC@UCLA--Another rivalry that is usually close and I think UCLA is better this year then in the past few years. But I think USC wins this anyway.MY PICK=USC

Stanford@Cal--I had this game listed last week but it is played this week. MY PICK=Still going with Cal.

Army@Navy--Navy is way to much for Army this year and the wishbone will not break. Could have 3 guys over 100yds rushing. MY PICK=Navy

Jon do you want me to do the bowl games? If so do you want them all or just the big ones? Would be happy to do it if you want.

Scarlet & Cream has always looked better than Crimson and Cream. No difference this year. Good guys by a TD.

The Schiano Send-Off Party
The Hot Karls (Dorrell, that is)
Hippies

Finally, this is the one weekend I root as hard for another team as I do for the Huskers. As a Navy brat, I take great pride in shouting GET 'EM GOAT! BEAT ARMY!

(although, for the record, i do think Bobby Ross will have that team in a bowl sooner rather than later)

Can you hear this or should I turn it up for you?
