Picker is a genius. All must acknowledge.

But I am tempted to rank the Iowa State guy above the A&M guy.

Minor quibbling. No major arguments hold water on this one

9-12 is genius.

Hey Licker!
This list of quarterback predictions is as weak a list as any I've ever had the misfortune of reading from you. You continually outdo your own stupidity on a daily basis.
Your list of college football elements are as lame and wrong as anything you've ever written. Scratch what I just wrote- THIS is the lamest and most moronic thing I've ever read from you.
Most Overrated Writer at the Tulsa World: The Licker.

P.S. Where are your suggestions for a decent name for the OKC NBA team? I'm anxiously waiting for more genius from you. This is your big chance. Blow us away with your creative and appropriate names.

This is simply a list of the quarterbacks the picker can name, in no particular order. That is why there are no first names, and also why every year TW spends thousands of dollars each year printing the names of countless people who probably used a coin to make their picks. The last time I paid attention to his picks he had North Texas over Tulsa by 4. At least his spelling is good.

The Picker “Snickers” over ur Licker, Bicker, & M'ee'ker comments.

Opinions, commentary, & observations are just an estimation of a belief or judgment of the future outlook of a particular team, player, or season.

IF the “Ticker” can get one upset, perturb, or agitated over his “opinion”, than obviously the disturbed party has 2 make their opposing view known.

If it wasn’t 4 the “kicker” in the Picker, we would B “stuck” w/ the same lousy, East Suck-up Pacify No importance outside of Atlantic coast viewers & announcers who drool over Notre Dame & won’t criticize anything that could prove their biased!

When’s the “Snicker” goin’ Pick on important relevant things like Peter Pan over Jiffy?

The quarterback is the most important position on a college football team, correct?

Well, unless you are 5-9 and play at a service academy, the quarterback is going to be know for his passing ability.

Therefore what's most important element in college football is obviously passing. Anybody can run on a bum. Third and ten against a good team, make a throw or else.

Did Reesing actually beat a good team?

Reesing did beat Virginia Tech last year in the Orange Bowl. I think Vtech was # 3 in the country at the time . I know KU schedule was (insert adjective) terrible last year but you can only beat who you play and Reesing went 12-1.

Bradford beat Texas then Missouri when they were #1 (not too shabby of a resume)

Totally agree with you on the QB being the most important player…

The one glaring error I think is Colt McCoy so high up on the list. Like you said Picker, "Who didn't pound Texas?" last year. He obviously had a large part to do with that so what makes you think he will be so much better this year? I see a lot of INTs coming from him IF he can make it through the first 5 games without having to sit due to multiple concussions.

The Sports Animal is only using the OKC-NBA games as filler. Their first broadcast priority is ORU men's basketball, THEN Kansas football/basketball when there's no conflict with ORU, THEN the OKC Chaw when there's no conflict with ORU or KU.
