The Dirty Dozen, a baker’s dozen, a dozen eggs. And here is the “dozenth” entry in the Pigskin Picks. Another attempt by us amateurs to pick the winners in ten college football games. Since it’s the twelfth week, I picked a dozen games! This way we can include a lot of our favorite teams, including Army and Navy. Have at it folks. There are a lot of exciting opportunities for upsets this week as some usually great teams go up against each other.
Get your picks in by noon eastern on Saturday, November 15th to be eligible for the honor of being the top pickled picker of the week. TRW was our winner last week and he picked the tie breaker, a game I might have chosen myself if Arizona were off this week.
And here are your choices:
1. #21 Clemson @ #24 Georgia Tech
2. #2 Florida State @ Miami (FL)
3. #15 Oklahoma @ Texas Tech
4. #1 Mississippi State @ #5 Alabama
5. #3 Auburn @ #20 Georgia
6. South Carolina @ Florida
7. Iowa @ Illinois
8. Washington @ #19 Arizona
9. San Diego State @ Boise State
10. Army @ Western Kentucky
11. Georgia Southern @ Navy
12. Tie Breaker (pick winner and guess the score) Missouri @ Texas A&M

Some tough ones here. It looks like Aj and I will have to guess the A&M scores because a preliminary look says we are in essential agreement throughout. Purdue has an off week or I would throw that in for kicks. I’ll take a closer look later.

Yes Chas, Purdue is off. I’ll include them next week when they play Northwestern. But judging from their games so far, they may need to change their name to “Purdon’t”.

I have a tie-in to most of the games this week, so I’ll comment on that with my predictions:
1. Clemson – I know someone who lived in Georgia. Not much of a connection, though.
2. Florida State – I’ve never been to Florida, but I have an aunt and several cousins form both sides of the family there. Maybe we’ll go there this summer.
3. Oklahoma – No connection here, other than friends in Texas, but not Lubbock.
4. Alabama – No connections in either state, other than some of you all.
5. Auburn – Same as above.
6. South Carolina – No tie-in here, other than Chas.
7. Iowa – This is a double tie-in: Mrs L is from Iowa and allof her family lives there, and I teach in Illinois, and the church I attend is there.
8. Arizona – Another double: I lived in Arizona until I was 22, and my sister lived in Seattle for a few years.
9. Boise State – My brother lived in San Diego for 5 years or so, but I only “know” Mumsee and family in Idaho.
10. Army – A former student is at West Point and is on the boxing team there. He got 2nd in the Nation last year.
11. Navy – My dad was a Navy man.
12. Mizzou-RAH! 42 – 28 I live in Missouri, you know.

kbells- my rankings are based on what they were when I picked the games. I can’t help it if “the College Football Gods” decide to publish new rankings later on.

Janice- Strange that the Gremlins would change Miss to Missouri, considering Mississippi has always had that abbreviation, and Missouri has always been MO (or Mo.).

It looks like Chas is the winner with only the Boise State game remaining. Since everyone chose BSU, it won’t matter whether we were correct or not. Chas has 9 of the games right, I have 8. Congrats Chas!
