The schedule for week 6 is very interesting. I counted at least 14 games we could pick from. SUPERCOACH will have a roaring headache over which games to pick.

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   
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   
10:30 PM   No. 15 Washington at No. 5 Stanford  ESPN

Missou at Vandy is on CSS at 6:30 CT according to the SEC website.

Kentucky at South Carolina 6:30 FSN

Maybe these 8?

12:00 PM   No. 25 Maryland at No. 8 Florida State  ESPN
3:30 PM   No. 6 Georgia at Tennessee   CBS
3:30 PM   Georgia Tech at No. 14 Miami (FL)    ESPNU   
7:00 PM   No. 10 LSU at Mississippi State   ESPN
7:00 PM   Arkansas at No. 18 Florida    ESPN2
7:00 PM   No. 24 Ole Miss at Auburn    ESPNU
8:00 PM   No. 4 Ohio State at No. 16 Northwestern   ABC
10:30 PM   No. 15 Washington at No. 5 Stanford  ESPN

Then two of these?

3:30 PM   No. 3 Clemson at Syracuse     ESPN2
3:30 PM   Minnesota at No. 19 Michigan     ESPN2   
7:00 PM   TCU at No. 11 Oklahoma   FOX      
7:30 PM   No. 22 Arizona State vs. Notre Dame   NBC   
7:30 PM   Missouri v. Vanderbilt  CSS?
7:30 PM     Kentucky v. South Carolina  FSN?
8:00 PM   West Virginia at No. 17 Baylor    FOX Sports 1

Cool.  The times are correct.  ESPN has no info about TV, other than Gameplan/ESPN3.  Certainly add those to the list of potential games then.

I vote for your 8 and 2 of any of these 3.

No. 3 Clemson at Syracuse   
No. 22 Arizona State vs. Notre Dame
TCU at No. 11 Oklahoma

I will also add this game for consideration.
No. 12 UCLA at Utah

$0.02

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

Alternates:

12:00 PM   Michigan State at Iowa  ESPN2  1 Point
3:30 PM   No. 3 Clemson at Syracuse     ESPN2  13.5 Points
7:00 PM   TCU at No. 11 Oklahoma   FOX      11 Points
8:00 PM   West Virginia at No. 17 Baylor    FOX Sports 1  26 Points
Thursday:
10:00 PM   UCLA v. Utah.  Fox Sports 1.  4 Points

I grabbed one of your games, AZ ST v. ND, and ALTide's Vandy v. MO game to make 10

The UCLA v. Utah game is probably the best of the Thursday games, though it is 9 p.m. start CST.  Point spread is only 4 Points. 

I enjoy seeing you all get the games ready. I have never seen a week on this board that bad games were picked so just keep on keeping on. RTR!

Another possibility is a Friday night game, BYU v. Utah State. 8PM EST CBS Sports Network.  6 Points.

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.


 :duh:

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.


 :clap:

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.

 :wave:

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.  #+

 #+ #+ #+

must have been the smiles  :lol:

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

:-[

Oof. 3-7 this week.  :facepalm:

You, me, and a whole BUNCH of 'experts'.  :lol2:

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

 :lol: :lol:

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.  >:(

never dreamed yesterday that 5-5 would be a "good" day on the picks  :wall:


 :lol:

You had 5-5??  OMG,  :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:

 :tinfoil: :unsure: :tinfoil: :unsure: :tinfoil:

well really ... I was 4th of the 5 & 5er's
way behind Leroy , "Mr. 6-4 fame"

 :worship: :worship: :worship:


I think CNS would say we were distracted this week and
need to focus more on the task at hand , play as a unit ,
with one heartbeat ...
 :dunno:

but really !
geez ... what a tough week this was   :tinfoil:

I blame the players!  Even Alabama failed to meet 56-pt expectations; tsk, a 42-pt win!  Shame.
 :lol2:

like SC I will not pick against Alabama
burns me a lot and I lose that pick but as they say ...

"it's only weird if it don't work"   :lol2:


blame the players ?  hum ... ok... I'm good with that !   >:(

Congrats to the 18 posters who finished above.  #+

Condolences to the 6 below me. :lol2:

I knew this week's games would be a challenge. Now we know for sure that Ole Miss was way overrated, but what does that tell you about Texas?

I'm not so sure that OM losing to the barn was as much being over-rated as it was Bama hangover.

to be honest I never dreamed that Ole Miss would turn into
Little Sisters of the Poor and let *U whoop their butt like that

 >:(

then Georgia forgot to tighten the lug nuts and the wheels came off
against that crappy Vols team ...
with or w/o the injuries or possible help from the zebras
they were lucky to escape Kville with the win  :eyeroll:
never thought the Vols would score over 17 points either though

all the others turned out about like I thought and
of course we didn't cover but hey , I'll pick us again next week too !

Hugh Freeze can not coach. He made some dumb calls in the Bama game and he kept his team from beating auburn.

Maryland is not NEARLY as good as people were thinking. They have a few good players, but their 4 wins have come against FIU, ODU, UCONN, and a bad WVU team. Yes, WVU is BAD. I watched that game, and Hoover High School could have beaten them that day.

What sort of cosmic fate fart occurred to let them beat OkSt?

That's what everybody was asking about Iowa State 2 years ago.

Maybe they borrowed the barn's horseshoe for a week.  :dunno:

Man, I wouldn't touch that horseshoe. Before the barn got their cooties on it, it fell out of Les's uh....er...dark place.

This one?  (http://www.woollyal.com/forums/images/smilies/bootyshake.gif)   :lol:

Bravo!!!  #+  :lol:
