Welcome to WEEK 8 OF NCAA FOOTBALL (PICK EM) Major Match-UPS! If this is your first week to play we are only selecting from the Major Match-UPS this year. Most people really don't care if you picked Central Eastern State to beat North Central Tech.

RULES: I have attached and posted the USA Today Odds for these twelve games and chose the "average," of all of the different odds making services that USA Today endorses.

Bronco here.

Should we be selecting games with odd point spreads of 3 touchdowns or more? IMO it takes some of the suspense out of the pick. It almost becomes a mathematical problem instead of a football game. If we are going to start doing that you might as well throw the Boise/Airforce game with a 29 point spread too.

I am just saying that there should be some point spread cutoff to make these games interesting.

Not trying to be difficult. Just a suggestion. I believe in a direct democracy on the board games - so whatever you folks decide I will go along with. Only throwing out some food for thought.
 






1. West Virginia Vs. Syracuse +14

2. Cincy Vs. South Florida -3

3. Oklahoma State Vs. Mizzou +6.5 (Why the hell does the SEC want Mizzou?)

4. North Carolina Vs. Clemson -10.5

5. Kansas State Vs. Kansas +11 (Border War)

6. Georgia Tech Vs. Miami -3

7. Auburn Vs. LSU -21 (Some LSU Players have been suspended for smoking grass even though Les Miles eats grass?)

8. Penn State Vs. Northwestern +4

9. Tennessee Vs. Alabama -29 ("3rd Weekend in October")

10. Southern CAL Vs. Notre Dame -8.5

11. Wisconsin Vs. Michigan State +7
 






In fact, at the start of the season I thought we came to an agreement in the house rules that we would not include games with lopsided lines. Are we flip-floppin' now? If so, I want the Boise/Air Force game added too.

I included Air Force Vs. Boise State. I do agree with you about lopsided point spreads. I added Tennessee Vs. Alabama because both teams have been playing each other for over 100 years and Tennessee is Pale Horse's team.

The ESPN BCS show that was on last Sunday said that each conference can only have 2 teams that qualify for BCS Bowls. They predicted that the way the bowls will set up that Boise State might play Oklahoma State because of how the BCS selects bowls. It would be awesome to see Boise State match up against Bama or LSU but for some reason Boise always gets matched up with a Big 12 team or Big East usually not a Big 10 or SEC team? Don't discount Oklahoma State this year. They have a really good team and are still undefeated in the Big 12. The BCS is all jacked up and needs to be totally reorganized and at least a mini playoff or plus one added.

Pale Horse- Please add your Air Force Vs. Boise State pick. If we are going to include a over 100 year Rivalry we have to include Air Force Vs. Boise State. I think Boise will cover especially since they are at home.

Oppps. I didn't notice that Pale already posted.

My mistake, Marine.

Go take a day of R 'n R on me.

Where's Vag?

Where's Hairy?

You know he's lurking in the background watching every move we make. Come out from behind the pigskin curtain, old boy. Don't you want to join in on the fun and show us your magic? :D
 






Wisconsin, giving the 7, at East Lansing is a good pick. State's coming off a win over Michigan, and these are always take a giant shit games for the Spartans.

BB...I sent you a PM...but it was denied submittal. I haven't been on here for well over a month. I have been having some health issues. Good luck to your Tide.

All I root for is as many undefeated teams as possible...so that the pundits will clamor for an 8 team playoff to determine a true champion.
