WEEK 14 NCAA COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICK EM! (Championship Week)

Bronco's Post-Game Wrap Up
=====================


Well, folks, I am the first one to rag on myself when I mess up - but I just love to do the on-line back flip when I do good.

After all the games were tallied I went 9-3 in Week 14. For the season that puts me at 82-72. Not bad for a guy who was deep in the red (under .500) just 3 weeks ago. Going into the bowl games I'm @ .532. If I could go .550 or higher it would be awesome.

My viewpoints on the games:

1) Georgia was awesome in the first half against LSU. Second half? Not so much. There were some missed offensive opportunities that might have provided Georgia with the momentum needed to beat LSU. Even though they played in the Georgia Dome it was pretty obvious to me that pro-LSU officials reffed the game. The first LSU punt return for a touchdown should NEVER have counted, as the returner threw the ball back at the ref before the ball even crossed the goal line. There were also a couple big pass interference plays against Georgia that never got called. Plus there was a helmet to helmet contact against a Georgia running back that never got called. So the refs really helped LSU gain their momentum. That's okay. I can accept the fact that LSU is going to the national championship. They had an outstanding season without a loss.

2) Oklahoma St. manhandled the Sooners. What a blowout! IMO Oklahoma St. needs to go to the national championship against LSU. Put Alabama in one of the BCS bowl games. The Crimson Tide has their chance at LSU and lost. If you don't win your conference you really have no business being in the game deciding the best college team in the nation. That's my opinion.

3) Southern Miss proved that Houston was an AP top 10 imposter. 49-28. Should never have been ranked that high. I was happy they lost big. Boise should be ranked above Arkansas, Houston and Virginia Tech when the revised polls come out. If Boise isn't ranked 6th or 7th - it's all rigged.

4) Boise won big against N Mexico State, as expected. 45-0. Kellen threw 29-33 for 313 yards and 3 TD's. He should be right up there for the Heisman. Minimum runner-up. Kellen had a mega career at Boise and I look forward to watching him on Sunday afternoons.

5) Man oh man. Did Clemson rip W Virginia a new one or what??? 38-10. Some people lost faith in Clemson. I didn't. I always knew they had a good team and would thaw from their cold streak. I thank Clemson for allowing Boise to move up in the polls too. Nice job, fellas!

6) Wisconsin made a nice comeback but didn't cover the 9 point spread (dammit). I couldn't understand why the bookies made Wisconsin the favorites by 9 points to start with. Wasn't Michigan State ranked above them in the polls? Strange. Anyway, happy Wisconsin won.

Well, onwards to the bowl games. Good luck to all as we wind our way down! :)
 






Bronco-Where do I even begin? Georgia played great the first half but they had to play great for two halves and they didn't. Honey Badger proved "He don't give a shit, he just takes what he wants." I knew LSU would win by at least 21 points they are by far the better team and wore Georgia down by the second half. Georgia is a Good SEC team but not a "Great" SEC Team.

Oklahoma State did an amazing job tonight. I agree that it is incredibly unfair if they don't get a shot at LSU in the National Championship. Oklahoma State lost to an un-ranked Iowa State team late in the season which is hard to overlook. The Big 12 does not have a true-extra Championship Game during the season like the SEC, ACC & Big 10 which sucks for OK State. Playing your regularly scheduled rivalry game at the end of a season does not really count as a true Conference Championship Game. OK State and Bama played and lost the same amount of games. 11-1

No matter who the computers and voters select Bama or OK State will lose to LSU. LSU has had the hardest schedule in Division 1A NCAA Football and are destined to win the National Championship. Admittedly I would like to see Bama get another shot at LSU but I also think winning the Sugar Bowl over losing the National Championship will help Bama in the long run concerning recruiting.

BAMA Vs. LSU NC will hasten the need for changes to the flawed BCS system. People all across the country will raise hell that this system needs to be changed and some form of playoff enacted. The system is not rigged but more accurately it is inherently flawed and should be changed immediately! Should be interesting to see what unfolds, who knows maybe that Boise Vs. Bama Sugar Bowl match up just might materialize??

Fucking Michigan State loses on a Running into the Punter penalty. What the fuck is that? As a Spartan fan, I have seen them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, many times over the years. The dumb fuck who did that should not see the field at all in the Crapitol One Bowl Game.
 






After watching Oklahoma State just crush Oklahoma 44-10 there is no doubt that Oklahoma State should be playing LSU in the national championship game. But as I told you before.....the BCS system is rigged so don't look for the fair or right thing to happen here. If Alabama gets the nod to play LSU again I am going to personally boycott the game. I won't watch it. I will refuse to even select a winner in the 'no-spread bonanza bowl' picks. That's how strongly I feel about it.

I finally agree Broncho, as Michigan State will be fucked out of a BCS at large, and the frauds from Michigan get in. MSU kicked Michigan's ass and made it close in the title game, and they go to a flea-bag bowl like the Outback, and the Wolva-frauds go to the Sugar. What a fucking joke.
 






Bronco...Clemson beat Virginia Tech not W. Virginia. I was there and can personally attest to all it was a great game. We will play W. Va at the Orange Bowl. I haven't checked all the scores.

Bama Sugar Bowl match up just might materialize??

1. LSU clearly showed that they can be a VERY vulnerable team if their opponent lays some whoop-ass on them from the opening bell like Georgia did. LSU FOLDED in the 1st half. I think they had 1 first down and 8 total yards on offense. THAT IS A TEAM THAT CAN BE BEAT. Had Georgia receivers not dropped those two EASY touchdown passes and IF the refs officiated in a FAIR and UNBIASED manner - I think Georgia might have won. If LSU gets behind in a game from the start - they FOLD. Georgia proved that. LSU in not invincible.

2. Glad you are looking at the national championship game objectively, Bama. Screw the BCS computers. Bottom line is that Alabama had their chance to shine against LSU and they lost. Now it's time to give another team a shot. I think Oklahoma State showed us last night that they deserve it.

3. Again, LSU is beatable. They are a good ball team but I don't think that they are as mentally tough as they are physicially tough. If an opponent jumps out to a good lead and doesn't make stupid mistakes - they are easily demoralized. Look at the 1st half stats in the Georgia game if you don't believe me. Pathetic. That is NOT an invincible football team!

4. The BCS selection is intentionally flawed to give certain select teams the advantage - in other words it's rigged. These NCAA officials spent months designing it. And that's the best they could do??? BS! The flaws were obvious from the start. Ordinary fans picked them out immediately and now they've materialized. I would love to see Boise in the Sugar Bowl. But that would happen only on a cold day in hell. I will be surprised if Boise gets a BCS berth - not because they don't deserve it - but because the system is rigged to favor select universities and teams.

I wasn't able to watch the Mich St-Wisconsin game. They showed the f..ing BYU-Hawaii on ESPN2 instead. How's that for priorities?

But I did watch some play by play action on the computer. Mich St. had a good lead and it looked like they were about to take home a win. Then all the sudden Wisconsin surged and the punt interference call sealed it.

I agree. If U of Mich gets a BCS berth the whole charade is a farce.

FIRST PLACE!!- BRONCO BOY!!-9-3 Congrats again to Bronco for being first place!! Only Bronco-DD & Pale Horse picked Southern Miss to beat Houston!! Southern Miss??? WTF??

2nd PLACE FINISHERS: Drug Dumper (7-5) & Pale Horse (7-5) & Fucktard (7-4) DD you did a very good job picking for you and Pale Horse! Congrats to your Clemson Tigers (I should have picked them!) It's good to see Dabo win the ACC!! You also picked Southern Miss to beat Houston? I know why Bronco picked Southern Miss but what was your motivation?? Great job to both of you!!

Fucktard: You are the only one who picked Michigan State!!! You also picked Iowa State which was a really good call. Very good picks and thanks for playing this week!!

3rd Place Finishers: BamaBoy (5-7) & Tinkrbelle (5-7) Tinkr do you remember when we actually picked more winners than losers?

A lot of these fine folks have to spend their holidays away from their loved ones defending our freedom and American way of life. I hope you will join me in making your pick and saluting our troops! USA! USA! USA! USA!!

Wisconsin made some amazing plays in the last few minutes, a very long hail MAry won them the game, as well as the MSU idiot who ran into the punter. Good game, and sooo happy MSU got what they deserved.

Another awful week again-- Bama we have tied the last few weeks. --Those DAMN Fuckin spreads killed me again!! Boise by 2 pts, the Ducks by 2 pts-- who'd a thouight they could not beat the spreads????; I knew BYU would win, Hawaii has tooo many pot smokers; Who woulda thought Southern Miss to beat Top ranked Houston????:eek: And I was hoping Clemson would continue on their losing streak-- but they really pulled it together last night.

We all knew LSU would clobber Georgia.:p It has to be an OK ST vs LSU National Championship-- The Cowboys trounced on OK, and no other team deserves it, and no re-matches.

Yeah Bama. I'm in for the Army-Navy game. We need to stay limber for the bowl games. Last year the first bowl game was on Dec 16th or so. It's right around the corner.

BamaBoy did such a stand up job as the pigskin pick moderator in 2011 I nominate him for reelection in 2012. You always got us the games on time week in and week out without fail, Bama. You are by far the best moderator in the history of CafePharma sports board. Thanks for a job well done!

How about doing a March Madness BB board pick in a few months too? We could do it by round - to the sweet sixteen - elite eight - final four - then the championship game.

Thanks for the kind words Bronco & Tinkr! I really enjoyed moderating the Pick Em this regular season. I will have the Bowl Bonanza Pick Em up by the end of this week. I am all for doing a NCAA March Madness Pick Em!!

BTW, I cannot believe Boise is going to be playing in the MAACO Bowl in Las Vegas Dec. 22nd Vs. Arizona State?? WTF?? No disrespect to Tinkr's Sun Devils but damn Boise deserved better than that. I was thinking Boise would play in the Fiesta Bowl Vs. Oklahoma State (would have been a great game) or maybe in the Sugar Bowl? This whole BCS Bowl System needs to be blown up.. It is absolutely obsolete.

I have never seen such an unfair and biased sports selection system in my life. It's a crooked, rigged system.

Imagine this: Michigan and Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl.

Didn't Virginia Tech just get their asses handed to them 38-10 by Clemson???

How could anyone take this shit seriously anymore?
 






BamaBoy did do a great job, and this season has been a lot of fun. Except when Bama decides to ignore me -- ha ha. I'm in for th Army/Navy game.

Are all of the bowl games set in stone yet?

Oh, I agree with you. the Sun Devils DO NOT deserve a bowl game this year! The last 3 games they played were pitiful, and downright embarrassing.
Boise got screwed, sorry Bronco! They deserved a better bowl. I dont get these BCS choices either, very upsetting with all the bowl game selections this year:mad:

Me ignore you? No way! Yes all of the bowls are set in stone and teams picked. Florida is playing Ohio State in the Gator Bowl! Maybe they will rename it the "Urban Bowl." I am definitely going to be watching that game!!!

I highly recommend downloading the ESPN Bowl APP!!! It is a very good APP and will give you all of the information regarding the bowl schedule and scores..
 






I agree with you-- BamaBoy was an awesome moderator!!!:)

I'm in for March Madness too:D

Ditto's on BamaBoy as an awesome moderator . . . He made this one of the best threads ever on CP!

I never miss the Army-Navy game on TV . . . The pagentry and all that the game stands for both on and off the field makes it one of the best of the season.

:cool:
