South Flo., South Carolina and Kansas in your top four? c'mon, and I thought you knew something about football. Kansas will be beat by Missouri, maybe even Colorado in boulder. South Carolina barely survived last weekend and South Florida may be the next team to get beat by Rutgers. I'm not even sure OU is a top five team at this time and I'm an OU fan. But who is a legit top five team this year? If OU calls another defensive game like they did against Missouri Venebles ought to be on the defensive for his job. Get rid of the three down lineman and the prevent defense and man up and take somebody on. I guess I should be happy they won but I left that game very dissatisfied. Not even mentioning two fumbles lost by the same reciever giving Missouri the short field. By the way how can you seriously take LSU out of the top five?

"2. Great upset pick of Kentucky over LSU.

Why, thank you."

I believe in giving credit where credit is due but here is what you actually picked, copied directly from your picks.

"LSU by 2"

You picked Kentucky to beat the spread, not to beat LSU.

As you know, going by who beat who and by how much is not a good barometer for picking games in a season like this. There is no clear cut favorite. Anyone of these teams can win when things are going right. Anyone of these teams can look awful when things go wrong.
FSN is obviously banking on viewers tuning in to see OU. No, its not right. People who enjoy college football would rather see OSU vs K-State. I would like to see that game anyway. If KU goes undefeated in the big twelve north making it to the conference championship game then I will put them in my top five. If South Carolina wins their conference then I'll believe they are a top five team. If OU gets by Tech and OSU handily then I think they deserve top five. If your going to put KU in the top five then Ohio State has to be in the top five. Both are undefeated. What about Boston College? Maybe there are seven or eight teams out there that are top five teams at any given moment on any given day.

"14. Coaches don't write their own tickets.

The two college coaches who make notes during a game, Frannie of the Aggies, and Callahan of poor Nebraska, appear to be goners.

13. Lou Holtz is funny.

He said Nebraska is like Enron. Everybody says nothing is wrong, everything is fine. Then one morning: ruination."

The Associated Press reported one hour ago that Steve Pederson, athletic director of Nebraska, has been fired by the chancellor.

First Edition: He is clearly a serial caller who belongs in a 24-step program, up to redemption and back, at least. Last time he was in Norman, he got a standing O. Think he might catch a little heat around the Big Ten, entire student sections as cells.....

LSU by 2/Kentucky to upset LSU. I guess you must never be wrong on a pick.
OU secondary hasn't been the same since Mike left. However, Missouri's offense can make a lot of people look bad. They lost their composure late. OU was good enough to win. May be just good enough to win out.
I really do enjoy the bi-polar OSU crowd. The highs and the lows must be more fun than vacation. The lows seem to be nearer to reality than the highs.

Did OU win, or did Missouri lose because of unforced errors? Missouri's mistakes can make some very luck team look good.

Easy Max, you get to play a team with no offense and a coach about to move on this week.

Les Mileage's coaching should be no factor.

You win easily.

ROB: Might you have noticed from time to time that things change greatly in college football?

That there have been more upsets this year, from week to week, than every before?

Ask around, it's true.

So things change, ROB. Except perhaps for you. The Florida team, by virtue of what happened to numerous others, is better by comparison.

To: Disgusted
From: Brent Venebles & the OU defense.
You need to check the record book stats and you will find that Mike Stoops' defenses gave up as much if not more yards than mine have in many, many games. When you get finished reading the stats, send them to OSU/TU Homer so he can read them. Then I will accept your apology. I am serious. You are dead wrong.

I am not an LSU fan. I am an OSU fan who happens to be living in Louisiana because that is where my wife is from. In spite of all the Aggie jokes I do know the difference between a prediction and a maybe. My prediction at the beginning of the season was that LSU and OU would play for the national championship with LSU winning because of having a better defense. That does not appear likely now but if was my prediction and I am stuck with it. It still could happen. I even pull for OU when I am down here just as a matter of state pride. I am happy when any team from my home state does well even though it might be my preferred team.

Mr. Gore (Al G): That's a good point about global warming causing the upset meltdown.

Is this your thought? Overly hot temperatures have taken a toll on linemen with big guts, negating pass rushes and enabling thinner quarterbacks and catchers to have field days?

Not bad at all, Al, G. You know, they used to say, and some blockheads still say, that up north in places like Nebraska, you had to be able to run the ball in cold weather.

Only, what cold weather? Last game in Lincoln, it'll probably be 79.

Max: All the time you spend worrying about what I did or did not pick, you could have helped feed a poor child.

Mr WORLDPICKER, with all due respect, you're just not making sense.

You're saying that in the period of 1 week, South Florida went from "No good at all...vastly overrated..." (and basically a team completely fabricated by ESPN), to your #1 team in the country...really?

I'm well aware that things change, but a team can't go from "no good at all...vastly overrated" to #1 in the period of a week. Either they're overrated and no good, or they're not - that kind of thing doesn't change in a week - was it their convincing blowout of unranked Conference USA powerhouse Central Florida that did it for you?

Tell us how another team's loss, a Pac 10 team for example, can make a team in another conference (with no common opponent) who just last week was "no good at all," the number 1 team in the country - I can't wait.

2 weeks ago I went to Burger King - I had the #5, with cheese - and "it was no good at all." Last Saturday, I went to Taco Bell for lunch, which sucked - and to Pizza Hut for supper - which was terrible. Based on what happened last Saturday, I now declare Burger King to be the best fast food restaurant in the country. That makes sense - right?

Dallas is pretty good except for its secondary, which can't stop the pass.
