The Big 5 College Football Games of Weekend #13

Last weekend was incredibly lackluster but this weekend is when BCS trips are decided. All 5 of the Big 5 this week have major implications on whether you're in or your out of the money.

5. Oregon State Beavers at Arizona Wildcats
Once again the Beavers just need to win out and then they likely get a rematch with PSU in the Rose Bowl. Lose and they'll go to some boring bowl no one cares about. The Pick: Beavers by 6

4. Brigham Young Cougars at Utah Utes
In the battle of the Mormon state the Cougars have the opportuntiy to ruin intrastate rival Utah's return to the BCS. If the Utes pull off the victory than they can book their trip to whichever BCS bowl has last pick.The Pick: Utes by 3

3. Pittsburgh Panthers vs. Cincinnati Bearcats
This is the Bearcats chance to clinch the Big East championship and their BCS bid because there is no way they lose to the Cuse in the following week. Meanwhile Wanny if he could win 3 games in a row would also win he will somehow earn a trip to the BCS. The Pick: Wanny by 7

2. Michigan State Spartans at Penn State Nittany Lions
Does Joe Pa want to go to the Rose Bowl? Does Joe Pa want to give himself an opportunity to Ohio State it into the national title game like the Buckeyes did last year? If they dominate Sparty and the chips fall in the right way than the old man with his new hip may end up in Miami instead of Pasadena. The Pick: Penn State by 13

1. Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Oklahoma Sooners
Last year Bradford sat on the sidelines woozy and out of it after suffering a 1st quarter concussion. He then watched from the sidelines as the Red Raiders dashed any chance at a national title. This year it is the Red Raiders with the definitive title hopes and the Sooners with the 'if we get voter support' title hopes and it will be the Sooners and Bradford who get their revenge. The Pick: Sooners by 6

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
