Remember The Alamo

In a contest that featured 17 touchdowns and 123 points, one Baylor fan had the nerve to bring a "D-Fence" sign to the game...

Washington's defensive coordinator looked like he had the Whiskey Sweats walking off the field.

Lasko's CFB Pick'em

35. Oklahoma vs. Iowa
The Sooners beat Kansas State by 41, Texas by 38, and Texas A&M by 16. Injuries to Broyles & Whaley hurt their offense, and WR Jaz Reynolds won’t be playing in the bowl game, but they should still have enough to overpower the Hawkeyes. Note: Iowa is 4-0 ATS in their last four bowl games.
34. TCU vs. Louisiana Tech
Neither team has lost since October 1st (riding 7-game winning streaks). TCU’s superior offense leads to a double-digit win.
33. Boise St vs. Arizona St
Kellen Moore’s career will end with a victory over the shameless 6-6 Sun Devils. At least they have cool uniforms.
32. Temple vs. Wyoming
Hoot!
31. Texas A&M vs. Northwestern
This has all of the makings of an upset-special. Texas A&M essentially has no head coach and Northwestern will be focused. But it’s a home game for the Aggies and they are the more talented team.
30. San Diego St vs. Louisiana-Lafayette
Ragin’ Cajuns finished the year with back-to-back losses. San Diego St should control the game with Ronnie Hillman.
29. Mississippi St vs. Wake Forest
Believe me when I say that you do not want to mess with Mississippi State in a bowl game. -_-
Lots of cowbell in this one.
28. Baylor vs. Washington
Both of these defenses are heinous. RG3 exploits the Huskies’ weak secondary.
27. Michigan vs. Virginia Tech
Michigan has some similarities with Clemson, which beat Va Tech 38-10 and 23-3 this year. Geaux Blue.
26. Pittsburgh vs. SMU
SMU struggled down the stretch losing four of their last six. 0-6 ATS. Pitt exceeded expectations and finished the year 5-0 ATS.
25. Houston vs. Penn State
Neither team has their coach from the start of the season. Case Keenum will lead the Cougars to a victory in his final game.
24. Arkansas vs. Kansas St
Kansas State treated us well this year (9-3 ATS). But Tyler Wilson might have the best WR core in the nation and show throw for 4+ TDs in this one.
23. Utah vs. Georgia Tech
First underdog on the list. The Utes will have plenty of time to prepare for the triple-option.
22. Missouri vs. North Carolina
Quarterbacks James Franklin (Mizzou) and Bryn Renner (UNC) have nearly identical stats. UNC lost four of six to end the year. Mizzouri’s only loss in their last five games was to Baylor.
21. Oregon vs. Wisconsin
The Rose Bowl: Always my favorite non-UM bowl to watch. And I’m looking forward to this one. Sconnie’s defense is solid against a pro-style offense but they might struggle when the Ducks go 4-wide… Will obviously still pull for Wisconsin and the Big Ten.
20. Ohio State vs. Florida
Both teams are 6-6 overall, 5-2 at home, 1-4 on the road, score 25 points per game, and give up 21 points per game. Against Michigan, Ohio learned that they have a solid quarterback, and they want revenge from the 41-14 domination circa early-2007.
19. Cincinnati vs. Vanderbilt
While Vandy put together a solid defense this year, their offense won’t be able to keep up with Cinci.
18. LSU vs. Alabama
LSU won the 2003 national title when the championship game took place in the Sugar Bowl. Four years later = Another title in the Sugar bowl. Four years later???
17. Florida Int'l vs. Marshall
Always a stellar matchup in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl. Wide-receiver T.Y. Hilton will boost his draft stock in this one.
16. North Carolina St vs. Louisville
Somehow the Wolfpack beat Clemson 37-13. Good enough for me... NC State and I are still on good terms after their backdoor cover against Georgia Tech earlier this year.
15. Notre Dame vs. Florida St
Teams are statistically similar. ND looking for back-to-back wins over a Florida team in bowl games.
14. Rutgers vs. Iowa St
Rutgers went 9-3 against the spread this year. Get stronger Piscataway… Also, the game is in their back yard at Yankee Stadium. And Iowa State’s quarterback is named Steele Jantz. Ugh.
13. Tulsa vs. Brigham Young
Really like the work of Tulsa’s quarterback, GJ Kinne. (Sidenote: Bet the Over on this game.)
12. Utah St vs. Ohio U
Utah State turned their season around with five straight wins since November. I’ll ride the wave.
11. South Carolina vs. Nebraska
Similar styles. Gamecocks have more athletes to make the game-deciding plays.
10. Western Michigan vs. Purdue
Michigan beat these teams 34-10 and 36-14, respectively. I’ll go with the better quarterback in this one.
9. Nevada vs. Southern Miss
Contrarian play. SoMiss lost their head coach to North Carolina.
8. Texas vs. California
Both teams have been unpredictable all year. Does Bevo get a free trip to San Diego?
7. Virginia vs. Auburn
I like UVA’s defense and Dyer is out for the game. Wa-Hoo-Wa.
6. Arkansas St vs. Northern Illinois
Both quarterback’s lead their teams in passing and rushing. Ark St has a much better defense.
5. Illinois vs. UCLA
It’s too bad both coaches were fired a few weeks ago. Neuheisel v. Zook would be a match-up for the ages…in terms of coaching blunders.
4. Air Force vs. Toledo
“Aim High … Fly-Fight-Win”
3. Oklahoma St vs. Stanford
The two best offenses that the Cardinal faced this year, Oregon and USC, put up 53 and 48 points. But will Okie State be motivated?
2. Georgia vs. Michigan St
A pure, unadulterated, pillow fight.
1. Clemson vs. West Virginia
The Tigers faded down the stretch, but they’ll have more talent in the Orange Bowl.

Soooooooo... Navy Won

Michigan State and the BCS

1. There were three BCS At-Large selections. Stanford (Ranked 4^th). Virginia Tech (11^th). Michigan (13^th). Since the Sugar Bowl lost their SEC team to the national championship game, they got first pick of the At-Large selections. They chose Michigan, even over 4^th-ranked Stanford.
2. Michigan was not chosen over Michigan State. MSU was not even eligible to be selected.
3. MSU should be glad Michigan got a BCS bid. If Michigan wasn’t selected, MSU would be playing in the Insight Bowl.

//

The real message sent to MSU fans didn't come from the BCS but from the Capital One Bowl. The BCS is based on votes and isn't controlled by either MSU or UofM. But the Capital One Bowl had the choice of any Big 10 team except Wisconsin and UofM. There was no vote or ranking but all they needed to do is pick. And they picked Nebraska.

Bowl games are not about the football matchup. They never have been going all the way back to the first bowl game which was to boost tourism in the Pasadena area. The game matchup was so bad, the game was ended early.

MSU played 7 home games this year. They sold out 3 (Youngstown State, Michigan, and Wisconsin). Senior Day didn't sell out (they were short by about 900). Didn't those seniors deserve better fan support? In 2010 the MSU game at Ford Field had about 29,000 empty seats in a 65,000 seat stadium. The 2010 Senior Day fell short of selling out by about 4,000 seats. Didn't those seniors deserve better fan support?

On the other hand, according to the Nebraska website, their last home game not sold out was in mid-1962. The Nebraska teams and fans have made Nebraska a national brand.

This year's MSU team is good. However has the MSU fan base made MSU a national brand? The Capital One Bowl is saying they have not.

I Want Michigan in the BCS, and I Wanted It Yesterday

Surprised?

There are a lot of good football games on this slate this weekend, and I will be making a lot of assumptions in this post (i.e. Wisco beating Penn State this weekend, among others). But according to my predictions, a Michigan victory over Ohio State will put the Wolverines in the BCS Sugar Bowl.

//

Except for one extreme scenario*, a maximum of two teams from one conference can go to the BCS. In the SEC, that likely means that LSU/Bama are in the BCS while Arkansas, Georgia, and South Carolina partake in early-January trips to Florida.

The Rose Bowl will be filled by the Big Ten champ (Winner of Wisco/MSU) and the Pac 12 champ (Winner of Oregon/UCLA).

The Orange Bowl will get the ACC champ vs. the Big East champ.**

The Fiesta Bowl will get the winner of Oklahoma and Okie State, and that leaves three open spots.

Houston will get one (assuming they win out), Stanford will likely get one, and Michigan will get one. The Sugar Bowl will pick first as their tie-in (SEC) will be in the championship game, so they pick Michigan or Stanford. The Fiesta then picks either Michigan or Stanford (whoever is left), and then the Sugar gets stuck with Houston.

As Michigan has a national fan base and is a big draw, the Sugar will likely pick Michigan over Stanford to face Houston in New Orleans. Get me to Bourbon Street!

On a similar note, I would rather face Houston over Ark/Georgia/SC in the Citrus Capital One Bowl, especially with an invite from the BCS.



*LSU/Bama are ranked #1 and #2 in the BCS, but don’t win the SEC. For the first time in history, this is conceivable. Georgia would need to beat LSU in the SEC Championship game and then have LSU/Bama stay in the top 2.
**Technically the Orange Bowl is not locked to the Big East champ. The At-Large selection order this year is Fiesta, Sugar, Orange. But because the Sugar's tie-in will be in the championship game, the selection for the At-Large teams will really be Sugar, Fiesta, Sugar again, Orange. There is no way that Michigan would get through the first three picks and go to the Orange, but the Sugar could theoretically pick the Big East champ over Houston. Seems very unlikely unless it’s West Virginia and they think that a UofM-WVU match-up is interesting.

LSU vs. Alabama

Did Old Sko do it again or did Old Sko do it again? Just giving away free money. In other news I lost every other game on the board yesterday and every Breeder’s Cup race.

Les Miles Entrance Onto The Field Last Night

#1 vs #2

If I was setting the line for this game, I’d place it right at 3 points in favor of the home team. In Tuscaloosa, Bama -3. In Baton Rouge, Tigers -3. Anything larger and I’d see value on the ‘dog.

At quarterback, both signal-callers have similar talent and throw a decent ball. But there is an old saying: “In times of crisis, experience counts.” Jarrett Lee has played in a lot of close games in his career. I don’t think we’ve ever seen AJ McCarron tested against a defense like the one he’ll face on Saturday night.

At wide receiver, LSU has the decisive advantage. The trio of Randle, Shepard, and Beckham will keep Bama’s DBs out of the box. Especially Randle, as he is the one playmaker in this game that can stretch the field. With Maze and Hanks, Bama doesn’t have the playmakers to keep LSU’s defense honest. Mathieu and Claiborne can play man and the Tigers can load up the box with nine guys to stop Trent Richardson.

This leads to the running backs. Richardson is a horse but there won’t be many lanes for him to run in this game. Bodog lists the over/under on Trent Richardson rushing yards against LSU at 99.5. I’d lay the under. And don’t sleep on Spencer Ware who is a bruising back for the Tigers. I could see him having the better night among the RBs.

With the other position groups, there is talent across the board. The offensive lines for both teams are similar, both with a strength in run blocking. LSU has the better D-line, especially with their depth. The advantage at LB goes to Bama with Hightower and Upshaw. I think those two linebackers might decide the game as they’ll need to stop the run without safety support. On to the DBs, these guys will be bathing in money in a few years. Kirkpatrick/Barron for Bama. Mathieu/Claiborne for LSU.

This is going to be a great game.

The one advantage on special teams might go to LSU as their punter, Brad Wing, drops dimes in the redzone like Hugh DeVor lofts his 60-degree. He also knows how to celebrate.

Finally, the crowd will be intense after hours and hours of tailgating and debauchery, but the late-start might play into LSU’s hand. Some think that the Tigers are only a force when the lights are on in Death Valley. Think again…

My boy Zach Laskey gift-wrapped this cover for Miami.
Zach Laskey dropped back to receive a punt for Georgia Tech, the bouncing ball coming straight at him as he stood at the 9-yard line. He tried to grab it as a horde of Hurricanes sprinted toward him, misplayed it and could only watch as the football kept going into the end zone. Nicholas dove on it just past the goal line for a touchdown that put Miami up 14-0. Thanks Z.
Indiana (+23.5) More points from both offenses than I expected, but we’ll take it.
