ESPN Pick’ems Week 13 Review

Admit it, this is what we’ve been waiting for all year. Week 13 was full of great games, some upsets, and some teams barely surviving in order to get into the playoff. LSU, Ohio State, and Clemson just might be the three top teams that get in, but there’s a battle for that fourth spot.

For a while, it appeared Ohio State was going to run away from Penn State…until it didn’t. Up 21-0, the Buckeyes were in full control of the game…and then Penn State scored the next 17 points. However, Ohio State turned the lights out on Penn State with one more touchdown drive to win the game 28-17. For the first time, the Buckeyes looked mortal. This week, Ohio State travels to Michigan.

Georgia appeared to sleep-walk in their 19-13 ...

ESPN Pick’ems Week 12 Review

There were some really good games over the weekend and some really good finishes. Two undefeated teams went down.

Undefeated and 8^th ranked Minnesota traveled to Iowa to take on the Hawkeyes which was a nail biter to the very end. The Gophers could never get a lead on Iowa and eventually fell to the Hawkeyes. To be fair though, Kinnick Stadium is a tough place to play in.

For a while, it appeared that Baylor was going to embarrass Oklahoma leading 31-10 at the half. And then all of a sudden, the Sooner defense kept Baylor scoreless in the second half and the Oklahoma offense went on a 24 point tear to win the game 34-31 in an epic comeback.

After Georgia went up 21-0, I turned the channel to ...

ESPN Pick’ems Week 11 Review

Week 11 was a BIG week in College Football. Not only did we see unbeaten teams go down, but we saw exactly why Championships are won in November.

LSU stunned Alabama on Saturday but the most shocking part of it all…Alabama assisted the Tigers in the win. The Tide marched down the field on their opening possession looking to score seven points only to have Tua fumble the ball…without even getting touched. LSU recovered the fumble and would eventually score a touchdown off of that possession. But LSU was better than Alabama Saturday night. The Tigers played with poise and responded even as Alabama mounted a furious comeback. LSU has all but locked up the SEC West.

Minnesota remained unbeaten after upending Penn State 31-26 and now sits on top of the Big 10 ...

"Mom taunting us for 1^st place”

Week 10 Review

Written by: Wendi

Well we all knew it was going to happen. We saw it coming last year from a mile away. Yep. It’s done. It happened. FSU FINALLY fired Willie Taggart. Not sure if the timing was good but I think everyone had enough at this point. And after losing to an in-state rival in Miami 27-10, it was inevitable. Now who will replace him?? Bob Stoops, Urban Liar Meyer, Les Miles if they can pull him from the Big 12?? Some even mentioned PJ Fleck who is currently undefeated in Minnesota. Rumor has it that USC is wanting Urban Liar Meyer and will do anything to acquire him. Well, only time will tell but they need to figure it out fast so they don’t hurt the recruiting this spring.

Two unbeaten teams ...
