Week 8 Games

[Catch Prothro]

rtr, I try to find games that are televised so we can have a running commentary about them on the forum during the game.

[Marshal Dillon]

MD, Washington State v. Oregon is a 38.5 point line.  I prefer the classic matchup, USC v. Notre Dame.  Otherwise, you agree with the 10 already listed.

Whoa! You're kidding me. I thought it would be 16-18 points tops. USC/ND is a little lame, even though I would like to see ND lose. Texas Tech is undefeated & playing W.Va., TCU/OK.St. is an interesting game.

Those two games are 11 am CST, on Fox and Fox Sports, playing alongside three televised SEC games:

11:00 PM   No. 7 Georgia at Vanderbilt   CBS  9.5 pts
11:00 PM   No. 14 South Carolina at Tennessee    ESPN  7 pts
11:21 PM   No. 17 Florida at No. 25 Missouri  SEC Network  3 pts

Which would give us a lot of morning games.  I think TCU is/was highly overrated, WV is extremely unpredictable, and hate picking Big12 games because of their team's lack of consistency.

However, I'm not keen on picking the Bama game, at 27 points.  Maybe we can substitute one of those morning games, or Miami v. NC on Thursday, for Bama?

If t he game is good, I don't see why the time of day matters. I think the Tide game could be substituted for since Arkansas is so awful. Miami/UNC is a good option.

While we wait patiently for Prothro & SUPERCOACH to get off their duffs and respond about the games.

The only response you will get from me is when I come in here to say the games are posted.  It makes no difference to me what games you guys settle on.

Don't put the Alabama game in there.

Recall, when we did that in years past, folks starting trashing those who picked the underdog.  Using the total yards is enough, unless you want to mix it up and have the tiebreaker total points.

Games are posted.

I agree with Chech, we should probably leave the Alabama games out from now on.  Many of us will never pick against the Tide regardless of the line, so it ends up skewing the outcome.

I try to keep the tie breakers similar since they also accumulate to determine the overall tiebreaker.  If we mixed in points one week vs. yards the next, it ends up skewing the overall tiebreaker.  Having said that, we could change up the teams in the tiebreaker.

I think we might consider picking LSU v. Bama.  And of course the BCSCG in our bowl picks.  But with other games, the line is going to be high.

I'm OK with that, but I WILL CALL YOU A TRAITOR IF YOU PICK LSU!!!!

  SC. I agree, because I have a system that works, so if I pick against Alabama they will win. Every time in the last 20 yrs. if I picked Alabama they lost every time. So, being a wonderful TIDE fan no matter the cost I will pick against them and I am sure they will win. RTR! RTR!

Just to clarify: EVEN IF THE LINE IS BAMA -98
