Coach Rab Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 REGIONAL Iowa State (1-8) at (18) Oklahoma (7-2) It doesn't matter how pathetic OU's offense is/was/will be, it will not save the Cyclones from this defense looking for redemption. OU wins 24-3. (12) Oklahoma State (8-1) at (24) Texas (7-2) I like Oklahoma State, but the more time that goes by, I am leaning towards Texas. However, I have to go with my gut and think that OSU will have solid QB play in a 3 point win on the road. TCU (4-6) at Kansas State (5-4) I like Kansas State for many reasons. (1) Despite a rebuilding year, they still have a solid run game. (2) They still play solid defense. (3) They play hard (4) Bill Snyder. The only thing I think TCU has going for them is that if they can win this one, they set themselves up for a showdown with Baylor to finish at 6-6 and be bowl eligible. However, TCU's offense is pitiful this season. After 10 games, I am not even sure Gary Patterson would argue that. K State by 10. Texas Tech (7-3) at (5) Baylor (8-0) I think Texas Tech makes this interesting for a while. However, the game will become one-dimensional and Baylor will take advantage of that, like they did with OU. Baylor by A LOT. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NATIONAL Ball State (9-1) at (15) Northern Illinois (9-0) -- WEDNESDAY GAME So this is the main hurdle remaining to knock off BCS buster Northern Illinois. Ball State comes in with an impressive passing attack against a Northern Illinois Team with a very impressive running attack. I have to give my edge to Northern Illinois mainly because I feel like teams that run the ball take away some of the fire from passing teams with long drives and big runs. (25) Georgia (6-3) at (7) Auburn (9-1) I am somewhat surprised that UGA cracks the top 25 again this season. Although they got one of their stars back, they are still decimated. I think Auburn's 3 play playbook will be enough to beat UGA. Auburn by 13. (4) Stanford (8-1) at USC (7-3) I like this game a lot. Stanford is coming off a big win over Oregon. USC is on a 3 game winning streak and looks like they are grasping onto a gameplan that is working for them. This is my upset of the week. USC over Stanford in Overtime!

GigEmWhoop Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I know your picks are "typically bad", but last week they were historically bad. I hope you can recover with a decent showing this week. Bold USC pick! I don't hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dago29 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I am against the USC pick, mainly because I need everyone in the Pac-12 South to lose so Arizona State will go to the championship game. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etos10 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I am against the USC pick, because, well, I am against USC. Hate them, with a passion. Hope they lose every game in every sport. Did I mention I hate them? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyperWoods Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The Tech game will be closer than expected. Baylor still wins, but remember TT practices against that style offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLine06 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The Tech game will be closer than expected. Baylor still wins, but remember TT practices against that style offense. I'd agree until they start running the rock with Lac he and Shock Linwood. Baylor incorporated a little bit of that diamond formation like Oklahoma and OK. State. Tech has to score on every drive. Our defense is too banged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylor incorporated a little bit of that diamond formation like Oklahoma and OK. State. Tech has to score on every drive. Our defense is too banged up. I am wondering if Briles will ever put both of those guys in the backfield at the same time. Not that they have had trouble moving the ball and scoring, but Lache and Shock on the field together could be more trouble for the defenses.

I wouldn't like to use 1 to block like that other than pass protection. Shock on a wheel and Lache on a screen same play would hurt. Vegas line has Baylor beating us by 28. Might as well bring the lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyFootball Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The Baylor offense isn't as "mean screen" as you think I must say, I'm crazy impressed with how well Baylor throws the ball down the field. It's amazing what they are doing now that they have athletes who are as good as what other teams have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 A lot will also be said about Bama's slow start against Ms State.... It will be overblown... Mississippi State only has defense. They just look bad because the offense can never score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h-town12 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 States defense actually has some good talent. Good at stopping the run (for the most part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
