Week 13 Games

[Catch Prothro]

These would be my 10:

Saturday:

TBA   No. 19 Arizona State at No. 13 UCLA   3 points
12:00 PM   No. 16 Michigan State at Northwestern   7.5 points
12:00 PM   Oklahoma v. Kansas State FOX 1, 3.5 points
12:21 PM   Mississippi State at Arkansas  2 points
12:00 PM   Duke at Wake Forest  5 points
3:30 PM   No. 11 Texas A&M at No. 21 LSU   CBS   4 points
3:30 PM   Brigham Young at Notre Dame     NBC  1 point
7:00 PM   Vanderbilt at Tennessee   3 points
7:45 PM   No. 9 Missouri at Ole Miss    3 points
8:00 PM   No. 5 Baylor at No. 12 Oklahoma State   10 points

[Marshal Dillon]

These seem the best games to pick from:

Wednesday: 
Northern Illinois v. Toledo.  3 points

Saturday:

TBA   Nebraska at Penn State  2 points
TBA   No. 19 Arizona State at No. 13 UCLA   3 points
TBA   No. 16 Michigan State at Northwestern   7.5 points
12:00 PM   No. 18 Oklahoma at Kansas State   FOX Sports 1   3.5 points
12:21 PM   Mississippi State at Arkansas  2 points
12:00 PM   Duke at Wake Forest  5 points
3:30 PM   Boston College at Maryland  0 points
3:30 PM   No. 11 Texas A&M at No. 21 LSU   CBS   4 points
3:30 PM   Brigham Young at Notre Dame     NBC  1 point
7:00 PM   Vanderbilt at Tennessee   3 points
7:45 PM   No. 9 Missouri at Ole Miss    3 points
8:00 PM   No. 5 Baylor at No. 12 Oklahoma State   10 points

Other Alternates:

Thursday
Rutgers/UCF  16 points

Saturday:
TBA   No. 6 Oregon at Arizona  17.5 points
TBA   No. 22 Wisconsin at Minnesota  14 points
12:00 PM   Virginia at No. 23 Miami (FL)  19 points
7:00 PM   Kentucky at No. 25 Georgia  24 points

I think these are the best & most interesting games. N. Illinois is undefeated and will probably be rated between 12-15th in polls and Toledo can be a tough game. It's a Wednesday game so some folks may not like that. A couple of the SEC games are total dogs.

[Marshal Dillon]

Northern Illinois is #20 in AP poll.

I'm not sold on Wisconsin/Minnesota @ 14 points.  It's a meaningless game, and I think an easy pick.

The SEC dog games are dog fights:  Mississippi State v. Arkansas and TN v. Vandy.  Both have very low lines, 2 or 3 points.  So while meaningless in the big picture, certainly they test your SEC knowledge.  MS St. v. Arky sees who has an SEC win this season.  Vandy and TN are pretty decent teams, and it's an interesting matchup.  I like both, but we can drop Ms St v. Arky if no one wants it.

If Duke wins out, they play in the ACC Championship game.  They just have to beat Wake Forest and then NC State, so that is a big impact game, with only 5 point line.

We just picked Nebraska, and that game with Penn State is totally meaningless.

Really not too excited about the Northern Illinois game, but I understand the reason for considering it.  I won't be watching it.

Anyone else have an opinion, or is just me and you?

I guess it's a matter of individual tastes. I would rather watch a potentially interesting game that means something (N. Ill./Toledo) than an SEC game which I consider boring and dull, like Arky/MSU. However, it appears a couple of folks enjoy an SEC game better than a competitive game with some BCS implications.
I just wish more folks would respond. I guess they are afraid we will slap them.


 

[2Stater]

You and CP have been doing such a great job, I've just been hanging back. 

Just my 2 cents, but Wednesday is the worst night for TV. To have a dog in the hunt that plays on Wednesday night would be a good thing, IMO.

Great point and very accurate.


 

[Jamos]

I usually don't say much about the games because I don't watch all of them anyway, I think you guys do a pretty good job. If I would suggest a game it might be the Tenn and Vandy game. Vandy has done well this year and it would give me one more chance to root against Tenn this season.

There is always a split of opinion -- some want SEC games, some want something else.  I personally think the whole N. Ill. to the BCS is bogus, but unfortunately that is the current state of things.  If we drop Arky/MS St. and add the Wed game, that a good compromise for you?

Capital idea!

12:00 PM   No. 16 Michigan State at Northwestern  ESPN  7.5 points
12:00 PM   Oklahoma v. Kansas State FOX Sports 1, 3.5 points
12:00 PM   Duke at Wake Forest  5 points  ESPN2
3:30 PM   No. 11 Texas A&M at No. 21 LSU   CBS   4 points
3:30 PM   Brigham Young at Notre Dame     NBC  1 point
7:00 PM   Vanderbilt at Tennessee   3 points   ESPN2
7:45 PM   No. 9 Missouri at Ole Miss    3 points   ESPN
8:00 PM   No. 5 Baylor at No. 12 Oklahoma State  ABC   10 points

Alternates:

12:21   Mississippi State v. Arkansas  SEC   2 points
3:30    Wisconsin v. Minnesota  ESPN  14 points

I agree. Arky/Miss. St. is pretty awful, especially Arkansas. Sounds good to me.
