Week 6 Games Will be Interesting

[Catch Prothro]

I'm not in favor of a Thursday game this week.  We've had several people miss making that pick lately, and Texas v. Iowa State isn't that compelling.  (There is also W. KY v. LA Monroe and Utah v. UCLA on Thursday night).

I haven't looked at lines, but I like these 14 Saturday games best:

(ALTideup's list includes 9 of these games and the Thursday Texas game.)

12:00 PM   No. 25 Maryland at No. 8 Florida State  ESPN
3:30 PM   No. 3 Clemson at Syracuse     ESPN2
3:30 PM   No. 6 Georgia at Tennessee   CBS   
3:30 PM   Georgia Tech at No. 14 Miami (FL)    ESPNU
3:30 PM   Minnesota at No. 19 Michigan     ESPN2   
7:00 PM   No. 10 LSU at Mississippi State   ESPN
7:00 PM   TCU at No. 11 Oklahoma   FOX      
7:00 PM   Arkansas at No. 18 Florida    ESPN2
7:00 PM   No. 24 Ole Miss at Auburn    ESPNU
7:30 PM   No. 22 Arizona State vs. Notre Dame   NBC   [/color]
7:30 PM   Missouri at Vanderbilt  NO TV
8:00 PM   No. 4 Ohio State at No. 16 Northwestern   ABC
8:00 PM   West Virginia at No. 17 Baylor    FOX Sports 1[/color]   
10:30 PM   No. 15 Washington at No. 5 Stanford  ESPN

I disagree, I think Texas/Iowa State game is very compelling. It is part of the Mack Brown death watch and he better win that game. Like I said earlier, this is a very tough slate of games to pick from.

My other recommendations:

Texas/Kansas State
UCLA/Utah

***I just noticed that I selected 11 games so drop TCU/Oklahoma.


I'm torn between the Baylor/W. Va. game and UCLA/Utah but I chose UCLA.

Texas just played Kansas State.  I assume you mean Iowa State. Your 10 games includes two Thursday games?  I'll let SC decide that.  Between the two, I like the UCLA game better.  We've already picked Texas a good bit. I like having a Thursday game, but I hate having so many people miss out on picking that game.

Right now, everyone seems to pretty much agree on the 8 Saturday games you listed, except the TCU game (which you also struck).  The other two popular Saturday games are GA v. TN and MO v. Vandy.  Or there are the two Thursday night games, Texas v. Iowa St. and UCLA v. Utah, which also are popular with others.  SC can decide from here.

I like Texas because their slow demise is very enjoyable to watch. The mizoo vandy game us a pretty evenly matched lower eschelon SEC tilt. I like those. GA vs Tenn is gonna be a slaughter.

I agree about the Texas game and the Ga./Tenn game will be crap.

It appears the majority wants these 10:

Thursday Night:
Texas v. Iowa State, ESPN

12:00 PM   No. 25 Maryland at No. 8 Florida State  ESPN  17 Points
3:30 PM   Georgia Tech at No. 14 Miami (FL)    ESPNU  0 Points?  (Pick)
7:00 PM   No. 10 LSU at Mississippi State   ESPN  9.5 Points
7:00 PM   Arkansas at No. 18 Florida    ESPN2  10.5 Points
7:00 PM   No. 24 Ole Miss at Auburn    ESPNU  2.5 Points
7:30 PM   No. 22 Arizona State vs. Notre Dame   NBC   5.5 Points
7:30 PM   Missouri v. Vanderbilt  CSS?  2 Points
8:00 PM   No. 4 Ohio State at No. 16 Northwestern   ABC  6 Points
10:30 PM   No. 15 Washington at No. 5 Stanford  ESPN  6.5 Points

Alternate:
3:30 PM   No. 6 Georgia at Tennessee   CBS  10 Points

That gives us mostly Saturday night games, and leaves off CBS's Saturday afternoon SEC game (which I'd take over the AZ St v. ND game or the Thursday game -- I'm already bored with Texas' demise).

Games are posted.  No line for Georgia Tech v. Miami so I went with the alternate.

LOL! Don't be a party-pooper. It's fun to see Texas twisting in the wind, even though I have no real dislike for the program. I just get tired of their arrogant boosters and their big talk.

maybe I'm just bored picking Texas.  They're so up and down it's a crap shoot putting them in the pickem.

Looks like Leroy has this one wrapped up.

19 out of 25 participants are below .500 at this point with 1 game to go.  Tough week.

[cbbama99]

Oof. 3-7 this week. 

[Chechem]

Oof. 3-7 this week. 

You, me, and a whole BUNCH of 'experts'. 

You'd think the coaches and players would live up to our expectations!

By the way, congrats to Leroy. Looks like he was the only one with a winning record this week.

There's a lot of weirdness out there. FSU has it's hands full with BC. WVU looks awful but then kills highly ranked OKst. But Maryland killed WVU so they must be something. And then they get throttled by FSU.

I could take the 2-8 record. What I can't accept is that Texas, who I hate, won, but not by enough to cover.

And even though Ohio St. ended up winning, NW had them covered.....until that stupid fumble at the end. 3-7 for me.
