Sorry, Kbells. Auburn isn’t playing this week. But something new this week: The Pillow Fight of the Week, in which two of the FBS (Div. 1-A) with the worst records go head to head the see who can actually win a game. This week we go to Idaho for a match with two winless teams: Temple at Idaho. And also, the team with the longest losing streak visits Idaho to play Boise State! That’s right, Southern Mississippi joins the fun in Idaho this week, bringing its 15 loss streak with it. I’ve also included three games involving Top 25 teams playing against each other, as well as both Army and Navy. Lots of upset possibilities this week.
#12 South Carolina @ UCF — For Chas.
Navy @ Western Kentucky — For us Navy fans. Say it with me: Go Navy…!
Wake Forest @ #3 Clemson — Wow! A Tiger team in 3rd that isn’t Auburn or LSU. What’s this world coming to?
#6 LSU @ #9 Georgia — Speaking of Tigers, how about a Cat and Dog fight?
#14 Oklahoma @ #22 Notre Dame — The Sooners go North. Maybe they can win in South Bend as payback for last year when the Irish won in Norman.
Army vs. Louisiana Tech — For AJ. Say it with me folks – Go Navy…! 😉
#21 Ole Miss @ #1 Alabama — For Kim. Should be a good game to watch, except I’ll be watching something else (see below).
Southern Miss @ Boise State — For Mumsee. So the Broncos can play on Saturday.
Pillow Fight: Temple @ Idaho — All the losers in Idaho. Two will win.
Tie Breaker: Arizona @ #16 Washington Wildcats vs. Huskies. Another Cat and Dog fight. And on national TV!!! Thank you FOX for letting me see my Cats play!

My picks:
#12 South Carolina — No surprise in this one. Chas’s favorite USC wins!
Navy — Go Navy…!
#3 Clemson – Does Clemson have a chance at a National Title? Sure does.
#9 Georgia — Only because of the home field. And I don’t think they’ll let a second Tiger team beat them.
#14 Oklahoma – The “Sooner” someone beats ND the better. Oklahoma in another close one.
Army – Okay, so Army gets one win.
#1 Alabama — I could cop out and say the team in red will win, but though Ole Miss beat Texas at Texas, I don’t think they’ll do it twice. So I pick the other team in red, Crimson, that is.
Boise State – Yawn. BSU in a blow out.
Pillow Fight: Idaho — Which one wants to win more than the other? Idaho, because no one ever thinks of the other state university in Idaho. And they play this one at home.
.
Tie Breaker: Arizona @ #16 Washington — Though I look forward to actually getting to watch Arizona play, I think they’ll lose this one, since they always have trouble with those Oregon and Washington teams, especially when the game is up North. WU 24-21

I guess I need to apologize to myself since I, too, predicted a U of Washington win. I just made it a 3 point game.
Oh, and I think I may be wrong on the abbreviation for the University of Washington. You think I would remember that there is a Washington University about 150 miles from here in St. Louis. So it is WU, and Seattle has UW.

Since the 2 of you live together, you could award an actual prize. If he wins, you buy him coffee. If you win, he does the same for you. If neither of you win, you buy The Kid coffee. 🙂

You’ll never learn if you don’t suffer consequences. Should you both lose, having your child amped up on caffeine should motivate you both to make better picks in the future. 🙂

Ooh! It looks like the outsider won this week, no matter what the result of the late game (Boise State). Mr Kbells and I are tied with 8 correct games, and both of us picked Boise State. So, since his tie breaker score was closer than mine (11 off vs. 15), he wins. It looks like he not only gets the virtual HIGH FIVE, but kbells owes him a coffee (or whatever they decided).
So congratulations to Mr kbells!
