[JonLP24]

1. Same strategy as always...

Michigan
LSU
Miami(FL)
Washington
(tough one as I don't know who I like more) I'll go with Auburn
California but I like USC too.
Minnesota because I had a friend who is a Gophers fan.
Boston College though I don't particular care for either team.

Fun pick...
Arizona St. :bounce: :party: :beer: :smoke:

[happyiowan]

3. Fine work

with the picks and the standings. The cat dancing on my keyboard is a sure sign I should make my picks in the morning.

[a la izquierda]

4. Boomer Sooner!

Good morning...I still have no clue if Bradford is playing, but I think we'll knock the crap out of the U. Here's hoping...Norman is a miserable place when we lose.
Michigan
UGA
SOONERS
Washington
Auburn
Cal
Wisconsin
FSU

[Condem]

5. I didn't like the FSU- BC game, a la....

....but I was out of choices and it's ALWAYS a guess on which Semihole team will show up.

[a la izquierda]

17. Seriously...

sometimes they look good, other times, like dog vomit.

My mom's girlfriend is an FSU alum, so I usually support them.

[RT Atlanta]

6. RT for week 5

Tough week... my Tigers have their first road trip of the season to Neyland and the Vols are hungry to knock AU back down to earth. If AU's O can exploit some weaknesses, they have a shot, but with Berry in the D-backfield, he's a world beater. Hopefully, Crompton stays like, well, Crompton of the recent past and provides some more turnovers to the good guys.

Hoping for good games without serious injury for everyone...


Here we go:

Michigan State

LSU

Miami

Washington

Auburn

Southern California ("USC")

Minnesota

Florida State


fun game; Oregon State

[Condem]

7. Chizek's Iowa State days (or daze) are forgotten, RT.

Until Kiffin proves otherwise, he's a punk who can't coach. I expect a win out of the damn War Eagles.

[RT Atlanta]

9. I think he learned a lot from that experience

and, unfortunately at IS expense, those "lessons" seem to be serving him well since he was hired at AU (contrast with Lame Kitten at UT). People also forget quickly that Chizik was the "hottest" coordinator in the country when hired at Iowa State (having 2 undeafeated seasons in 2 years under his belt as defensive coordinator at Aubun in 2004 and Texas in 2005).

Still, the Vols are no team to sneeze at and with a night game up there, AU (and especially its D and special teams), will have to play significantly better to come home with a win. With the D game plan Monte Kiffin put together for the Gators, I know they will 'come to play.'

[Condem]

11. Pete Carroll couldn't win at Iowa State, RT.

Truly, a football shithole and a cowtown. Yeah, there will be some fired up Vols but I have faith Kiffin will fuck up.

[Jack from Charlotte]

63. Tennessee is worse than last year,,,,,

Was fun watching The Aub's offense. Nifty. Aub and UT were both 5-7 last season. Aub's is now 5-0 and UT is 2-3 with UGA, Bama and S. Carolina coming up.

The UT coaching staff is awful.

[joeybee12]

8. 13.5 is a lot for ND since Washington they ranked with one loss, and ND

only has one loss...still, I think Notre Dame will win big.

Michigan State
Georgia
Miami
God's Team
Tenn
Cal
Minnesota
BC
ASU

What do I win?

[Condem]

12. God's team?

Touchdown Jesus is a pussy.

[joeybee12]

14. Evildoer!

Heretic!

[Condem]

15. I'm not talking about Jesus as a person, God as a thing, here, joey.

If ND was truly God's team then one could make the argument that there was no God. We know that to be false. Besides, I have a direct line to the Almighty and when I spoke of your proclamation He laughed in that deep gutteral roar of His and said, "on the contrary, condem. If there was ever Satan's team, Notre Dame is it. My Jesus, they sold their soul for a TV contract...refused to join My conference-the Big Ten. Just a bunch of Beezelbubs".
Swear to God, joey.

[joeybee12]

16. So, what are you smoking today?

Satan!

[Condem]

18. Hold on, joey. One more message comin' from the King of Kings....

...."tell joey to quit worshipping false idols or I'll condemn him to an eternity of watching fucking Ishtar".

[joeybee12]

19. Never saw Ishtar!

It can't be that bad!

[Condem]

20. There's a reason you never saw it.

It's that bad, joey.

[brendan120678]

21. If Notre Dame is to join a football conference...

it sure as hell had better be the Big East.
Those fuckers cling to their Big East basketball affiliation, but totally blow us off for football.

[Condem]

22. You need something, brendan.

A ton of folks rail about America's Premier Athletic Conference in football. But the Big East has nothing.

[brendan120678]

24. True...the only reason Big East is acknowledged by...

the Football powers that be is because they carry tons of weight in basketball.
NCAA overall doesn't want to loose that.

[KamaAina]

59. Actually, it's because they used to have Miami and Virginia Tech

before the ACC raided them, along with BC and Syracuse.

[mduffy31]

44. Screw the Big Ten

In the early part of last century Notre Dame asked to join the Western Conference, the pre-curser to the Big Ten and not only was denied entry by the likes of Michigan, Michigan State and Illinois but the same schools refused to play ND. The next conference, which eventually became the B1g 10, also refused ND entry even though there were only nine conference members. So why would they want to join them now?

[Condem]

51. Hey, mduffy

Your horseshit Notre Dame is the most overrated folly in the history of college football. Live with it.

[mduffy31]

54. I know...

The most National Championships, All Americans and Heisman trophy winners (tied with USC and OSU.) They are the most overrated folly in the history of CFB.

Edit to include OSU

[Condem]

55. That's a long time ago, mduffy.

We're talking about the present, here. This year, for instance. They had a schedule that was tailor-made for a BCS run. Admit it. They haven't been impressive under Weis. As a ND fan you've had to be dissappointed. My guess is USC will end their BCS hopes but Weis will win enough to keep his job.

[madinmaryland]

25. A picture of joeybee12 going to a Notre Dame Fighting Amish game...

:D

[Condem]

26. Good humor all around, today, fellas.

Great stuff!!!!

[JonLP24]

30. Washington now has 2 losses

They were handled by Stanford last week.

[joeybee12]

37. I know, but when they beat USC they already had a loss, but

the pollsters voted them in in spite of that, and dumped ND.

[brendan120678]

10. Picks...

Michigan State
LSU
Oklahoma
Notre Dame
Tennessee
USC
Minnesota
Boston College

My fun pick:
UConn won't loose this weekend....

[Condem]

13. Off week, I see, brendan.

How's Shonn Greene doing for your Jets?

[Auggie]

23. Cal will redeem themselves

That's all I can comment on since I am a college football idiot

[Jo March]

29. I hope so. I picked 'em

I was doing so well until last week. x(

[fishwax]

27. my picks

Michigan
Georgia
OU!
Washington
Auburn
Cal
Minnesota
Florida State

[Jo March]

28. And here are my picks for week 5

And damn, let's hope we don't have a huge bunch of upsets this week.

Michigan -2.5 @ Michigan State ---> I have to go with Michigan due to their increased practice time. :evilgrin:
LSU +2.5 @ Georgia ---> I'm going to go with Georgia. They are such a weird team that they might pull this one off.
Oklahoma -7 @ The"U" (Miami) ---> Miami
Washington +13.5 @ Notre Dame ---> Washington - hey, they could pull the upset!
Auburn +2 @ Tennessee ---> Auburn
USC -6.5 @ California ---> California
Wisconsin +1 @ Minnesota ---> Hmmm. I'll go with Wisconsin
Florida State -5 @ BC --> This would be easy if I knew which FSU team would show up. x( I'll go with Florida State.

Tough week this week, Condem. Good job. :thumbsup:

[Condem]

31. Thanks, Jo.

I designed it to try and get fishwax into double figures in the win column. Just kiddin', fish. To me, the Wolves-Sparty match-up is the tough one. I figure it's MSU's last shot. They lose and you can cue Tom Izzo. A very solid seven games. FSU-BC is strictly there to rep the Big Least.

[GaYellowDawg]

32. I hope you're right about the Georgia game.

Personally, I think LSU's going to win it going away. :mad: :-(

[Jo March]

48. I hope not. LSU is a weird team this year.

They had to pull off a goal-line stand to stop Miss St. I don't think they are #4 no more than I thought Ole Miss was #4.

[fishnfla]

33. Why dont UM gals date UW guys?

*the answer would get my picks deleted*

Michigan
UGA
OK
ND
Aub
USC
UW (*have you ever seen a gopher hole after a badger has been thru it?*)
BC

For fun OSU

[Condem]

34. I like it, fishnfla. A little rivalry humor.

Tell ya somethin' about the Gophers. They seem to be a different team in this new stadium of theirs. Let's just see if they fade like The Beatles on "Hey Jude" like they are prone to do.

[fishnfla]

43. gopher vs badgers

favre vs pack

this week

pass the xanax

[Capt. America]

35. Lets try to get past .500 on these picks....

Sparty (this is their bowl game)
LSU
UM
Washington (I'll take those points thank you, but ND will win)
Rockytop
Bears
The Paul Bunyon Axe goes to...Minnie-sota!
BC
Extra credit: Eager Beaver!

[Condem]

[Condem]

41. Hey, elleng!

Sorry. Watching videos from last nights Springsteen show from the Meadowlands...which I've been to many times. God damned great stuff! Time to send your granddaughter to Iowa! A much better school! And a better football team.

[elleng]

42. Hey Con, its my DAUGHTER! Ain't got no GRANDS!

May have to talk to Happy about that!

[Scurrilous]

52. Canes win!

21 - 20 over (8) Oklahoma. :thumbsup:

[Larkspur]

53. Way to go Irish!!

My alma mater won another nail biter. They get 2 weeks to prepare for USC and I get a weekend to give my heart.

[joeybee12]

57. Not ranked yet, which irritates me...they need to win big

against US because the rest of the schedule won't win them any votes.

What year did you graduate...if you're a youngen, I may not tell you my year!!!!!

[Larkspur]

60. I graduated in 1983

[joeybee12]

61. Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi!

CLOSE!!!! You would have been there when I was there!!!!!!!

[fishnfla]

56. Condem:

I will be out of town and unable to post ( going hunting in the wilderness).
My picks for next week are all the home teams. Can i still play?

[Condem]

58. Absolutely, fishnfla.

I don't look at the upcoming week until Tuesday, but I can God-damn guarantee you the Homecoming match-up of Michigan at Iowa will be on there. Still want to bet on the home teams?

[fishnfla]

62. GO HAWKEYES!!!!!!!!

ONE WINNER FOR ME
