I hope we’re both wrong here!

Ohio State (6-1) - The Buckeyes need this one to stay in the hunt for the CCG and a rematch with Oregon. The Nittany Lions could keep it close and with a little luck could pull this one out. But with QB1 questionable with a knee injury, I'm going with OSU.

Miami - The U is heavily favored in this one. There is a reason why.

Ole Miss - The Piggies play tough at home, but the Rebels need to win out to keep the hope alive...at least for one more week.

Vanderbilt - The Commodores are underdogs in this one. I'm taking them.

Oregon - How far can the Wolverines fall after winning a NC? We're about to find out.

Texas A&M - The Gamecocks play better on the road than at home. Say it ain't so, Joe.

Washington - 2 teams going no where fast. USC has yet to win on the road. I'm going with the home dog.

SMU - loser is out of the CFP. Has Pitt played anyone with a winning record? Ponies eliminated Duke last week and will eliminate Pitt this weekend.

Iowa State - Cyclones continue winning for their showdown with Kansas St.

Virginia Tech -

TIEBREAKER – Minnesota (5-3) at #24 Illinois (6-2) - close game but the Illini are battle tested. Gophers 24 Illini 31

 

[Sunkist]

No Texas this week? I guess I"ll still chime in.

Ohio St - wins big

Miami - wins big but go Maalik!

Ole Miss but Arkansas keeps it very close

Vandy

Oregon blows Michigan out

South Carolina - F the Aggies

Washington

SMU

Iowa St

Virgina Tech

Illini wins by 7 35-28

Ohio State

TIEBREAKER – Minnesota 31 Illinois 21

...
Tiebreaker: Illinois 22 Minnesota 18

Is this a field goal game and just 1 TD? Unusual score.

Is this a field goal game and just 1 TD? Unusual score.

I've seen weirder. 5-2 was one back in NFL in the 60's. Cowboys and Browns I think.

Ladies and Gents, we once again have a tie for first place in this week's Common Man picks.

Posters General Hooker and Sunkist and also Baron each had two misses this week to create the tie for first. General Hooker correctly picked a Minnesota win, while Baron and Sunkist picked Illinois.

Congratulations to General Hooker on a fine showing in Week 10. Your prize, a new plastic ware set, will be shipped asap. Gen Hooker was the only predictor who called for a Minnesota win in the tiebreaker. Good stuff.

And the rest:
Chapalahorn – 3 misses
Hookemhorb – 3 misses
SHA – 3 misses
NEOkHorn – 4 misses
PTA – 5 misses

 

[General Hooker]

Sincere thanks to aggy for starting their November slide on time.
