Championship Week is here! No, not the national championship, but the conference ones. Pick the winners for one last hurrah, folks. Ricky picked the tie breaker as the quasi Big 12 championship game, since that conference doesn’t have an actual championship game yet. But the title is on the line as the two top teams play each other. Make sure you guess the score of this one, as well as the winner.
Get your guesses in by Friday, 12/2 @ 7:00 P.M. EST.
1. PAC 12: #8 Colorado vs. #4 Washington
2. American Athletic: Temple @ #19 Navy
3. Conference USA: Louisiana Tech @ Western Kentucky
4. SEC: #1 Alabama vs.. #15 Florida
5. Mountain West: San Diego State @ Wyoming
6. ACC: #3 Clemson vs.. #23 Virginia Tech
7. B1G Ten: #6 Wisconsin vs.. #7 Penn State
8. MAC: #17 Western Michigan vs.. Ohio (NOT Ohio State)
9. Another Big 12 (Call it the consolation game for 4th place): Kansas St @ TCU
10. TIE BREAKER –Pick winner and final score– Big 12: #10 Oklahoma St @ #9 Oklahoma
It’s here, folks. Rivalry Week (said in a deep voice with lots of reverberation, but not yelled like a furniture store ad). The one week when national rankings take second place to beating that arch rival. The team with the better record is basically even with the team who hasn’t won much, especially if the game is at the team with the worse record. So, pick carefully, as you never know what could happen this week.
I won the last contest, so I picked the tie breaker. I usually pick my hometown team, but decided to make the tie breaker more of a challenge. So pick the winner of the Michigan-Ohio State game, and the final score.
Also, most of these games are Friday, so get the picks in before NOON EST on Friday, November 25. No national rankings this week since it’s Rivalry Week, except for the tie breaker. (If you want the rankings, go to http://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings.)
1. Washington @ Washington State
2. Boise State @ Air Force -This isn’t a rivalry that I’m aware of, but Mumsee enjoys having this one in the mix.)
3. Nebraska @ Iowa – These two haven’t always been rivals, but since Nebraska joined the B1G 10, it is becoming a major rivalry, especially since Iowa State hasn’t been much of a challenge for the Hawkeyes lately.
4. Georgia Tech @ Georgia
5. Mississippi State @ Ole Miss
6. Florida @ Florida State
7. Virginia @ Virginia Tech
8. Auburn @ Alabama (I believe I could call this one “Kim vs Kbells”, but they might be on the same side. I could be wrong on that.)
9. Notre Dame @ USC
10. Tie Breaker-pick winner and final score: #3 Michigan @ #2 Ohio State (The winner just might end up in the National Championship Game.)
