A friend of mine has wagered with me three straight weeks on the Badgers. He always picks with the spread (because I pick them wrong almost always (2-12 ats).

With him picking, I've won 2 straight and have Bucky +2.5 today.

If they hold on, over the last three weeks, I will have pocketed a smooth $3.

Although I prefer the Tide, I do have Bama fatigue. Same with Clemson. Unless of course the cure is called Ohio State.

Hope not

I’m worried more about GA in the SEC championship game than any team in the current top 10.

Still say neither OSU or Clemson have quality wins this season. What about blah blah blah?

OSU
Michigan, overrated
Penn State, overrated
Wisconsin, better than average

Clemson
.....

No doubt Dan

Just checking the conference championship games for the current top 4 teams

(1) Undefeated OSU plays 2 loss (13) Wisconsin
(2) Undefeated LSU plays undefeated (4) Georgia
(3) Undefeated Clemson plays 3 loss unrated Virginia

Obviously OSU and Clemson plays in Chitty conferences if that’s the best they have. Strength of schedule? Ya right?

Hopefully the loser between LSU & GA stays in the hunt. Regardless of who loses either of them will have only one loss. Which will be against top 3 team.

No doubt.

Back in ‘05 after Katrina delivered a knockout punch to New Orleans the Saints played their home games in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. Since I worked the SO detail for the LSU home games, by proxy I was automatically a member of the Saints’ home game detail.

Never one to chose standing over sitting or walking over riding I managed to wiggle into the parking lot crew because they had a golf cart painted in LSU colors assigned to them. Anyway one Sunday afternoon I’m tooting around the parking lots trying look like I actually had a purpose other than sitting on my ass riding around doing absolutely nothing productive I spot three lovely Saintsations walking towards the stadium from an outlying parking lot.

Instantly I understood my mission. I was bound by chivalry to taxi them so as to insure their safety. There were two on the seat next to me. A seat which was barely wide enough for two much less three. An unfortunate result was need for us squish our bodies together to ensure that no one accidentally fell from the carriage. To this day I wonder if my double knit 100% polyester uniform scratched her minimally covered torso and her pantyhose covered leg.

Of course there was no room on the seat for the 3rd damsel so she was forced to sit facing us on the, for lack of a better word, dash. The horrible alternative would require her to wait alone for me to come back for her after delivering her co-dancers to safety. This of course was an unacceptable risk so she bravely took position opposite and facing us from her precarious perch. Due to need for me to keep these fragile young ladies a safe distance from harm’s way, occasionally I was required to take evasive action from any risk, real or imagined. As such it was increasingly necessary for me to reach out and gently stabilizer her with my right arm and/or hand.

As we approached the stadium we saw more and more deputies who obviously saw us, especially the ocean sized grin on my face. To say I was the deputy hero of the day is an understatement. To say I was envied, there is no doubt. As a result, I had to arrive progressively early as the season continued to ensure I was not displaced from my much coveted post. I can’t remember the exact number of fragile dolls I protected from the evils of this world. But, before the season was half over I had a consistent path that I patrolled.

At some point during the season the SO Captian of the detail enquired how I came to task myself with this monumental responsibility. I simply answered that as a deputy sheriff it was my oath bound duty to protect and serve. He looked me dead in my eyes and told my I so full of chit that he could smell from two towns over. Then after a brief pause he shook my hand and we shared a heartfelt hug. While doing so he whispered into my ear that unless I wanted to be assigned a more austere post I better make sure to get him a phone number or two. Fortunately, for the remainder of the season I was able to ensure him I continued diligently seeking the information of which I was tasked with gathering, but to no avail.

That was the first and only season I worked that detail. The next year a higher ranking deputy muscled his way in as the detail supervisor. At the first preseason meeting we were assigned our posts for the upcoming year. I was reassigned to the upper West Deck from which without binoculars it is impossible to read numbers on the back of the player’s jerseys. I requested a different post. He said I had two choices. I could have the post he had assigned me or no post at all. I was sad that I wasn’t able to ride that $600 per game detail gravy train anymore. But, somehow I survived.

Easy there, Oregon has a top flight O line and Utah is the #3 defense in the America. Those holes are being made.

Oregon would beat Oklahoma. But I don’t think they’d beat anyone else in the playoffs.....great season that “could’ve been”. Lack of depth at RB and inconsistent play with bad penalties were the downside of making it to the top.

ESPN:
“ Can Oregon overcome the identity gap? No team in the country knows itself better than Utah -- the Utes know exactly how they're going to go about winning a game. They play at the slowest tempo in FBS; they force nonstop gang tackles; they never move backward; and they destroy your run game and force you to go one-dimensional. They are a violent football team. This has always been the Kyle Whittingham id, but this team executes it better than any other has. And it's on the doorstep of a playoff bid because of it.

Mario Cristobal's Ducks have alternated between brilliance and just getting by, and their identity shifted midseason from "brilliant defense compensating for hit-or-miss offense" to the opposite. After their best run of form, they finished the year with two duds or near-duds. They stay on schedule pretty well and punish you when you're off-schedule, and they've obviously got plenty of athleticism and star power. But Utah's been the better team, and Oregon has to figure out how to reverse that on Friday night.

SP+ projection: Utah 30, Oregon 23”

VIOLENT football team!!
