1. I'm glad for Tulsa on getting the NCAA Tourney. I grew up in Tulsa, but am currently in Norman. Hopefully, this will convince more people to go downtown at night.
2. Why OU didn't win a title with AD:
a. In 2004 and 2005, OU had a 1950's style offense with Chuck Long.
b. The OU defense was often lost and confused during AD's 3 years at OU.
c. In 2006, OU had a QB that threw punts for passes.
d. AD was injured quite a bit.
3. All Top 5 picks are good picks. It would be nice if they didn't rank teams until the regular season.
4. If OU plays like it did against BYU, they could be in for a long day against Miami.
5. TU could finish 9-3. With the exception of Houston and Boise State, all the other games are winnable. However, I see them going 8-4 or 7-5.
6. On a given day, BYU can beat a top-notch team. However, they don't have enough talent to do that consistently.
7. I couldn't agree with you more on the Dallas Cowboys.
8. USC losing to Stanford and now Washington is not good. I don't know what the deal is with them. They beat the top teams, then choke against the unranked teams.
9. Potts played well. It's too early to tell if it is Leach's best. However, he looks good. BTW, that should have been a personal foul penalty on Texas on Potts fumble in the 4th qtr. The NFL goes to extra lengths to protect the QBs. Yet, the NCAA doesn't seem to protect the QBs at all.
10. I don't think Tim Tebow will be any good in the NFL. He is a running QB but is not a very good passer. Florida's defense is probably the best in the nation.
11. Too bad K-State has no one else on the offense that's any good.
12. Baylor is still not very good. I do think they are a little bit better than they were, though.
13. Pelini's a good coach. However, the defensive backfield will cost Nebraska some more games this year. I would've sent more men after Tyrod Taylor on that 3rd and goal play.
14. I disagree with you on the Heisman winner. I actually think it will be Colt McCoy. However, you may be right. Tim Tebow could still win it.
15. Why should Chris Berman go home?
16. The Chiefs are an embarrassment to the NFL. 17. OSU's defense looks lousy. If they continue to play defense like that, OSU will be in for a long day when they play Kansas, Texas, and OU.

Hey Pick, didnt you just last week say Pete Carroll was far and away the best college coach going. No doubt OU has lost some games they shouldnt have but NEVER to a team that is one game removed from an 0-12 embarrassment... I dont who the coach was or now is, this is USC we're talkin about. They get ANYONE they want to come there and play.

What it comes down to with Carroll I guess is which would you rather lose, a little game, or a big game.

Lose a little game early, you can come back.

Lose a big game later, it's over.

That USC guy did write the book on losing little games. Of course, his quarterack was hurt.

Anybody seen TU TAB?

Odds on the following OU results before bowls:

Going undefeated: 4 percent.

Losing 1: 20 percent.

Losing 2: 70 percent.Losing 3: 6 percent.

I love how the Picker can make whatever he says make sense, no matter how he contradicts himself. The best coach around doesnt lose to Washington, period. Dont give me the when you lose or losing the 'little' or 'big' games. When you lose to Oregon St or Washington or Stanford, you dont get to play in the big game. When was the last time OU lost to an inferior Big 12 opponent?  Probably OSU in '01... One of two home losses for OU this decade!

Yeah...  What dcood said...  Anybody really think that we wouldn't have gotten a score when we needed it had Bradford been behind center as opposed to a redshirt freshman stepping on a college field for the first time in his life?  But the media ignored that, now didn't they?  Why not give OU the same courtesy given to USC?  I suppose since the NCAA doesn't give OU the same courtesy given to USC it's not surprising the media doesn't either...

As for the Dallas Cowboys...  I despise Tony Romo, even though I have been a Cowboys fan my whole life...  He's a choker...

Haha tattoo,

Good job actually trying to refute my point made above. I didn't know that you were so good at making relevant points.

You should be a politician, you are so smart.

Keep up the lame comebacks, loser. I will be here, with actual points to back up my claims.

By the way, since when have you EVER picked an actual winner. You just want to come talk about it after the game is over.

UT by 14 over OU. Hold me to it. I will at least be man enough to eat my crow if I am wrong.

You will just sit around, trying to insult everyone and their mothers. With no actual facts or picks to prove anything.

Well done, good sir. Well done.Oh, and by the way, the Miami game is a toss up. I think Miami by 10 but haven't decided yet until I see the game this weekend.

The odds on OU going undefeated before the bowls:

0% - They already lost one.

Tattoo,

I wasn't "man" enough to post on a message board?

You mean, I don't post 34 times on each Picker blog like you do?

Oh, I see your point, creepy internet loser.

Next point, I never celebrated any OU loss. Did you ever see me do that? The answer is no.

I am not talking smack about OU or any team actually. I don't hide, I simply love to point out how stupid you really are.

And finally, when a team (in this case Georgia) beats SC (when they did) who then in turn beats #4 Ole Miss, that makes said team (Georgia) look better.

Don't you think if BYU kept winning, that it would LOOK better for OU? Don't answer, I know what you will say.

In conclusion, I never hide from anything, moron.

I always am here, but I don't comment 104 times a day like you.

If you want to believe that I hide, fine. If you want to believe that UGA is overrated, fine. If you want to think OU is amazing and wonderful, fine.

I will keep on living my life in the real world, and pointing out your silly, stale arguments.

Keep it up, child.

Tattoo,

Go find my post where I was "all over OU".

This might take awhile, so good luck with that, loser.

You still never actually respond to anything, just come back with stale insults.

I guess since you are so dumb, I have to do this so you can see why I made a pick for you:

"Put your money (if you have any left over after buying beer) where your mouth is and place a bet, air head." - tattoo

"I doubt you could pick a winner out of your nose." - tattoo

That was your comment, so I gave you a winner.
You are never gonna make it in this world, tattoo. Not with your mental state.

Comical.

Where do i find said smart pill.
