Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks 2016-Week 13

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.)

CUBS WIN! Oh, wrong sport. Let’s see who else can win, other than the “Queen of the Pigskin Picks”. Or, should I say “Princess” to keep with the P alliteration? Anyway, kbells won again (#5) and picked a B1G 10 game for the tie breaker. I picked the other games based on nothing more than fan favorites or my feelings. Get those guesses in by 10:00 PM EDT Friday when Boise State takes the field.

Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks 2016-Week 9

It’s World Series time! And just what does baseball have to do with the Pigskin Picks? Not much. Except this year the two MLB teams playing are both perennial losers who are having a great year. So, in honor of that, this week’s picks include lots of perennial losers. So, four pillow fights instead of one, all three military academies and three games involving once-great teams on the comeback trail (Auburn, Nebraska and Florida State). Have fun, folks. Don’t forget to get those guesses in by 7:00PM EDT Friday, as two of the military academy games are under Friday night lights. And remember to pick the score of the tie breaker, chosen by last week’s winner (for the 4th time), Kbells

Pillow Fight #1– UConn (3-5) @ Eastern Carolina (2-5)

Pillow Fight #2– UNLV (3-5) @ San Jose St. (2-6)

Pillow Fight #3– Georgia St (2-5) @ South Alabama (3-4)
