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.
