NCAA FOOTBALL WEEK 5 PICK EM!













Thanks for replying. Sorry to be so picky but could you please add this pick to your original list of picks. It helps to have all of the picks in order when I check them on Sunday. Sorry to be so particular, I just want to make sure I get your picks right and you get the proper credit you deserve.

It is done. No need to aplogize, anything to make it easier for you. AND thank you for all your hard work!!:)
 






Wow. Who woulda thunk? Stanford gets knocked off by cream puff. There's absolutely no consistency in college football this year. One week a team is on top of the hill - then some loser team comes around and embarrasses them. I swear, had I been in Vegas I would have slapped down a Cleveland on the table. The house must have made off like a bandit. Thank God I rarely go to Vegas and when I do keep my sportsbets to a minimum. But I was 100% positive that Stanford would win and easily beat the spread. Just goes to show.

Stanford skunked all CP pickers in Week #5. No perfect scores this time either. That game left me picking my nose.

You said the STanford pick was a gift--- we were all fooled. STanford looked like shit last night. They could not get a good play in. They deserved to loose. And their mascot as as bad as they are-- the TREE

But the rest of us are mere mortals, Tink. You're normally hooked into Vishnu with all the correct picks and I was especially surprised that you got it wrong. :D

Stanford is one of those hot and cold teams. Only consistently good teams should be in the top 25.

So far 2012 has been a rotten season for college football. The last half has to improve, It coulldn't get any worse,
 






Stanford Sucks! They lost to the worst team in PAC-12!

No, I wouldn't say that.

Washington State and Colorado are the worst teams in the PAC-12. UW is actually 3-1.

The Oregon Vs. Oregon State game will be a classic one this year. But we have to wait until the end of the season to watch it. But I don't think the Beavers have the offense to get the job done.

Whoever plays Oregon this year better make damn sure that they have a huge lead at halftime. The score against Washington State at halftime was 23-19. With about 4 minutes left in the game Oregon is leading 51-26. That is typical Oregon if you look at their past games. They must be one well conditioned and disciplined team. They run all their opponents into the ground in the 2nd half. Hat tip to the coach.

Well, that and the PAC 12's Salary Cap is as high as the SEC's.
 
























I think Oregon has a great offense but they have not matched up against a tough and stout defensive line. I thought BAMA would have played better against Ole Miss but BAMA struggles against option style offenses. Our defense had some good interceptions and that is what happens when a team tries that fun and gun shit on us. My concern is our offense. They did not have a good game.

Like we have discussed before this is a strange year for College Football. Usually we have 4-5 undefeated totally solid teams. It was almost depressing to watch College Gameday and hear Herbstreit and Fowler talk about how down the Big 10 is. I don't love the Big 10 but we need other major conferences to be strong because it provides a more interesting action packed season...
 






Oregon State had a harder time with Arizona than I thought they would. It's very difficult to tell how these teams will perform from one week to the next. Very little consistency nationwide. I can't find one team that really dominates. And those that are labeled as the powerhouses haven't proven themselves to be anything close to how they're being hyped. I thought that by Week #5 we'd have a clear vision of who the big dogs are. We really don't. The quality of college football sucks so far. I'm disappointed.
 






Oh, and as I have said many, many times in 2012, Boise really sucks this year.

New Mexico almost picked them off with a 2nd half surge. New Mexico was down 25-0 at halftime and the final score was 32-29, with Boise winning by 3. heh.

Fresno State and Nevada and possibly San Diego State are going to kick their ass. Coach Peterson must know this. If I were him I'd cancel the rest of the season and hit the road for some serious recruiting work. Maybe he should use the same tactics at the SEC and the PAC-12 to attract top candidates. Whatever he's doing ain't working.
