  • I usually do it, but been really busy, sorry bout that.

    One time, years ago now, we won it - my Dad picked all the teams,

    and I couldn't figure out why I would change any. Amazing.

    Ever since then, no wins.

    That was amazing. My picks are not. lol

    I won it once here, but in general I'm not very good at predicting anything lol

  • I predict that two SEC teams will play for the National Championship.

  • In cal tradition. 

    One will be Texas A&M

  • The other will be Kentucky.   Kentucky!?

  • Yep, they are playing for it this coming Sunday 330pm on ABC.

  • Oh, did I mention it was for the Women's Volleyball National Championship!!???

  • WMU'S Defense  Damn 

  • Wow, I almost turned off the Okey - Bama game when it was 17-0. But I decided to watch one more possession (on which Bama scored) then a defensive effort (which led to a dropped and blocked punt) and then the pick 6 to tie it at halftime. I knew by then it was all over for Oklahoma. Once the Tide is rolling, there isn't much stopping them. 34-24. 

    And today, regardless of the outcome with Miami, I regard this as a far better than expected season for A&M. Going in I thought we would be 8-4 with away losses to Texas, LSU, Notre Dame and either Ark or Missouri away. Never, ever expected to take 4 of those 5.?

    The 1st game today looks like the best match-up of the day.  I have a feeling the other 2 will be 1-sided outcomes that will invite further media complains/debate as to why Notre Dame or Texas weren't considered over the 2 Champions of less competitive conferences.  The last time Ole Miss and Tulane played was Sept 20th, 2025 with the final score showing Ole Miss 45 Tulane 10 (both teams now have HCs departing to be HCs of SEC programs with more $)...  I can't help feeling sorry for the kids.  Lane Kiffin has done this stuff a lot while Sumrall going from Tulane to a storied tradition like Florida is a little more understanding.

    The CFB calendar is so stupid, it really magnified during this Lane Kiffin situation. 

    I'm shocked a rival SEC school poached him during the season, but it's within the present rules. 

    The talking heads at ESPN saying LSU is a top 3 job in America was even sillier. 

    Too bad for Ole Miss, it's one SEC team I could get behind.

    I’m never surprised by anything a SEC school does. 

  • I’m watching the Miami of Florida and A&M game on tv and for whatever reason there are no commercials. It’s very weird. They just show the teams huddled on their side of the field during would be commercial breaks.

    I believe so. This is the scene after timeouts and possession changes.

    DAMN SOME DEFENSIVE GAME,seems to me that The Bucks should be able to put up some points on either one of them, although I believe it will be low scoring affair, kinda like the Indiana  game

    It seems slimy to me. They probably violated an unwritten rule.

    Yet their fans will still root for a conference.

    Yeah a couple weeks off, all these teams can look different, and sometimes not in a good way 

  • I enjoyed that A & M/Miami game.

    I absolutely hate those 44-38 games.

  • the u VS THE BUCKS  wonder what the point spread is ?
