I’m seriously considering taking Ole Miss over Texas Tech. I figure either the Rebs win that game outright or it’s a Tech blowout. I don’t see Tech winning if it’s close.
I almost picked Ole Miss because of the letdown factor for Tech. Then I went the other way, figuring that Tech will be trying to make a final statement about their program being here to stay. Whatever. All I know is I’m getting screwed on other picks so far. These early bowl games are so tough to pick and have been really close. I really need Notre Dame to win tonight to have a chance in the Fourth and Dumb competition.
I know it kills yah that there’s no Vol game to pick against.
Go Hokies!
BTW, I think your BCS pick is a bit biased and one-sided and all.
One-sided? Moi? No way!
Damn, Damer, you’re 5-12 going into New Year’s Eve!!! Picking like a sportswriter!
Yeah, it’s embarrassing. By now they would have taken away my membership in the College Football Writers Association for sure.
