Championship week is here. For Boise State, that means New Mexico State. Oh well. There are still a bunch of other intriguing match ups that could still have implications for Boise State.
Also, this is the last week of the Pick 'Em contest in this format. Below I'll be explaining what we'll be doing for bowl season.
Deadline is 10 AM Saturday morning.
Bowl pick 'em
As you may have noticed, Mikrino has started a bowl pick 'em group. We will be doing the same. It will kind of be like when The Office had 2 parties. We have vodka. He has double fudge brownies...and Mikrino.
Anyways, we'll be putting up an announcement soon for the official OBNUG Pick 'Em group once I figure out what website to use. Until then, contemplate your place in the overall standings since this is the last week to make your move.
This week's games
- #1 Florida (-5.5) vs #2 Alabama
- #3 Texas (-14) vs #22 Nebraska
- #5 Cincinnati (-2) at #15 Pittsburgh
- #10 Georgia Tech (-1) vs Clemson
- Arizona at #18 USC (-7)
- #21 Houston (-2.5) vs East Carolina
- Fresno State at Illinois (-3)
- San Jose State at Louisiana Tech (-24)
- Wisconsin (-12.5) at Hawaii
- New Mexico State at #6 Boise State (-47.5)
- Tiebreaker: Total points in New Mexico State at Boise State game
Nick's pick's
- Alabama - I have a feeling they'll get over the hump
- Nebraska - All contingent on Suh getting pressure on McCoy
- Cincinnati - I don't see how Pitt can stop their offense
- Clemson - Revenge game and Spiller's last
- USC - How are they still ranked?
- Houston - Keenum might throw 7 TD's this game
- Fresno State - Help a WAC brother out, Fresno
- Louisiana Tech - A WAC team not named Boise State giving 24 points, interesting
- Wisconsin - What QB is Hawaii on now?
- Boise State - They have nothing left to prove so no reason to run up the score, but I don't think NMSU should score any points
Overall standings
This is the last week to contend for the overall regular season prize. You might take that into consideration when making your picks. Go big or go home.

According to the weekly breakdown I'm on schedule for a bad week. Let's break the cycle.
Florida
Texas
Cincy
Georgia Tech
USC
Houston
Fresno State
San Jose State
Wisconsin
Boise State
I don’t care how ginormous the spread is, I pick BSU every time.
Tiebreaker: 55
"Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish."
Time to pick some winners, I was 5 for 7 last week at the books...
- Florida (-5.5)
- Texas (-14) (I don’t think Nebraska can keep up)
- Cincinnati (-2)
- Georgia Tech (-1) (too close to call, so I’ll go with the favorite)
Arizona (I’m sniffing an upset at the Coliseum) - Houston (-2.5) (I think this is WAY too much of a lock, should have been -6.5)
Illinois (-3) (Sorry, the FuManchu loses this)
San Jose State (Spread is too much)
Wisconsin (-12.5) at Hawaii - Boise State (-47.5) (I seriously was debating going against the spread here…too much, this comment should be flagged)
Tiebreaker: 62
"Speak softly and wear a loud shirt" - Kimo's Rules
Wisconson to cover the spread
Sorry, didn’t catch that…
"Speak softly and wear a loud shirt" - Kimo's Rules
- (+5.5) Alabama
- Texas (-14)
- Cincinnati (-2) – How can Pitt hope to win without an offense to speak of?
- (+1) Clemson
- (+7) Arizona
- Houston (-2.5)
- (+3) Fresno State
- (+24) San Jose State
- Wisconsin (-12.5)
- (+47.5) New Mexico State – Unfair spread. Coach Pete doesn’t run up anything.
- Tiebreaker: 53
"You know where i'm from, a little suspicion about one's true identity and motives is considered good manners."

except against Idaho...
but that’s because they deserved it!

Man, am I ever wishy-washy.
I forgot that this was Senior day:

I guess I need to go big
I am going to need to pick almost the opposite of Mikrino to have a shot. I guess I hate Mikrino now.
Florida (People are starting to whisper that Tebow is the second coming)
Nebraska (The Children of the Corn scare the steers)
Pittsburgh (If Wanny doesn’t coach like he did for da Bearz, they win)
Clemson (Spiller wants a little statue)
Arizona (Not the Mark Lindsay Arizona either)
East Carolina (Because I have to beat Mikrino)
Fresno State (Juice Newton, Juice Williams…whatever… neither can play)
San Jose State (Even though they will need more than 300 to do it)
Hawaii (Because I hate Mikrino)
Boise State (No matter how much I lust for the first place prize, I must choose the Broncos)
Tiebreaker – 63

I'm tied with Kevan?
Ever since I mocked him and went with bizarro Kevan picks I have slid down the standing and he has climbed his way up. This week I am going with all of Kevan’s picks, except one to break the tie.

Mikrino?... double fudge?... Mikrino?... double fudge?... Mikrino?... double fudge?... ???
Wow I had a pathetic outing last week. Here goes nothing!
Florida – They haven’t been overwhelming this year, but I think Tebow gets it done and ESPN will build him a statue.
Texas – It will be close in the first half, but Texas pulls away and covers in the second half.
Cincy – Pitt is not bad, but Cincy is pretty good. Should be a good game.
Georgia Tech - Shoot I don’t know…
Arizona – I’m thinkin’ for the win. They nearly beat Oregon, they should be able to beat USC.
Houston - Should be a good game! Thought the point spread would have been a little higher.
CSUF – They should win against at least 1 BCS team this year.
La Tech - …uh… well… SJSU sucks.
Hawaii - They won’t win, but they will play with passion, hoping that they get into the Hawaii Bowl. But they won’t
BOISE STATE! – Huge win, too bad for NMSU
Tie Breaker – 63 All Boise State!
Catch me on the BroncoNation Podcast!
Always one off the winner...
Oh well.
*Florida (-5.5) should be a good one… I don’t think bama can score
*Nebraska (+14) TX will win, but less than 14
*Cincinnati (-2) yawn
*Georgia Tech (-1) since when is Clemson good?
*Arizona (+7) USC wins, less than 7
*Houston (-2.5) ONLY 2 and a half?? Really?
*Illinois (-3) Fresno has STILL given up
*San Jose State (+24) have they any pride for Tomey’s final game?
*Hawaii (=12.5) from 25 degrees to 85 degrees… I like Hawaii
*Boise State (-47.5) this will be an ugly ugly game

You don't have to choose, you can play in both Bowl Pick 'ems!
Just remember, judging by the top of this leaderboard, you may have more of a chance in the OBNUG Bowl Pick ‘em. Oh, wait… I’ll be doing that one too… nevermind.

Perfection again
Florida – Would prefer an Alabama win
Texas – Not even a close game
Cincy – Cincy will dominate
Georgia Tech – I will be very upset if they lose
USC – Arizona hasn’t beat any big teams this year (although I would love to see USC go to the Las Vegas bowl)
Houston – I really haven’t been watching any C-USA teams, so I just took Houston
Fresno State – Yes they deserve to win and I hope they do as well (said in a Samuel L. Jackson voice)
La Tech – Come on La Tech, don’t play down to your competition (remember you’re in the WAC, “Play Up”)
Hawaii – Wisconsin in Hawaii in December is a vacation, not a let’s play football trip
Boise State – Doug Martin will make sure of this
Tiebreaker: 56 (all broncos)
I love the colors Orange and Blue. Go Broncos!!! Go Titans!!! BAD WORD Florida!!!
My Weekly Exercise In Futility
Alabama – Maybe they’ll lose by 3 ?
Texas – Too much to lose for Texas not to win big.
Pittsburgh – Just a hunch. Odds are against any team going undefeated.
Georgia Tech – Little GT’s O, you’re a looking fine… (see what I did, there?)
USC – Carroll can’t lose 4, can he? Yes, he can, but he doesn’t.
Houston – But not by much.
Illinois – Never really know how Fresno State will be from week to week.
San Jose State – Only betting against the spread on this one.
Wisconsin – I wouldn’t be shocked by a Warrior upset here.
Boise State – I’d have to be nuts to take a 47.5 point spread, but I will.
Tiebreaker: 60

Wasn't it Boise State's first game of the year, too???
First time. Can I win it!!!!!!!!!
Florida-I think they will win but almost went with Alabama.
Texas-I can not pick against them this week.
Cincinnati-Easy pick.
Georgia Tech-Same.
Arizona-They should be favored.
East Carolina-I don’t know.
Illinois-Never rely on Fresno.
San Jose State-WOW.
Hawaii-Probably not to win.
Boise State-How could I not?
Tiebreaker-80. We score 63, New Mexico gets some garbage points on fourth string.
I am the BSU Guru. I know everything and anything about BSU, just ask me. Although I may need a minute…and an internet connection.
my tribute to don quixote --- to dream the impossible dream --- could this be my week?
florida (-5.5) vs alabama … i think the gators will win this one but i don’t think they’ll cover the spread … bamalama
texas (-14) vs nebraska … as a university of arkansas alumnus i hate the longhorns!! … insert quote from full metal jacket here … “texas? only steers and queers come from texas, private cowboy…” … but this year, in deference to bsu’s bcs hopes, i hate the huskers more … longhorn steers
cincinnati (-2) at pittsburgh … i’ve been waiting for this game since the middle of november … I wanted west virginia to beat the bearcats … now i’m hoping cincinnati just ain’t that good … c’mon panthers!! … pittsburgh
georgia tech (-1) vs clemson … the yellow jackets are gonna sting the tigers with their running game… if the gamecocks can rush for over 200 yards, the yellow jackets ought to be able to get close to their average of 300 … georgia tech
arizona at usc (-7) … i’d rather the cats were at home for this game … but they’re not so i’ve gotta go with the trojans in this one … prophylactics
houston (-2.5) vs east carolina … aargh, matey, another pretender walks the plank … i like talking like a pirate occasionally so i’m going with the defending conference champs at home … pirates
fresno state at illinois (-3) … juice williams hasn’t played all that well all year while ryan matthews has been a stud … i don’t see things changing this game … da bulldogs
san jose state at louisiana tech (-24) … no way will the spartans get their first road win of the season at ‘the joe’ … the dawgs will cover … la tech
wisconsin (-12.5) at hawai’i … the middies didn’t beat the warriors and hawai’i wants to finish stong … plus mcmackin gets lei-ed before the game and we all know what that means … warriors
new mexico state at boise state (-47.5) … that’s a whole lot of points to lay … even to a really lousy aggie team … but i said last week i’d never pick against the broncos again so i won’t … bsu
tiebreaker: 52
This is national TV. So don't pick your noses or scratch your nuts.

5 Cincinnati (-2) at 15 Pittsburgh
10 Georgia Tech (-1) vs Clemson
Arizona at 18 USC (-7)
21 Houston (-2.5) vs East Carolina
Fresno State at Illinois (-3)
San Jose State at Louisiana Tech (-24)
