WVU -4 vs Cuse.. Cuse really isn't good- WVU might destroy that secondary- but outside, maybe in snow? Good for Geno?
NC State +6.5 vs. Vandy.. Vandy staying close to home- but I don't think NCSU is that bad- is Vandy 7 pts better than any decent team?

I like Duke & West Virginia. Not sure about NC State/Vandy. Need to look more. At first glace it would be difficult to side with an ACC team against almost anyone.
Chokelahoma??? Really??? This is an A&M blow out.

MATCH-UP wise....it looks like the Sooners might be in trouble here.....as Aggies the tougher team with the better D......so > theirgonnakillem!!!!
*but wait....the Aggs played a few spread/hurry-up teams....(La Tech and Ole Miss).....what happened?
*to La Tech...gave up 57 points....37 FD.....283 rushing / 395 passing.....(LT ran 101 plays).......wow
*to Ole Miss (79 plays)...24 FD...159 rushing / 305 passing........
*Aggs had trouble dealing with the pace in both.....having a total of 8 TO's and 24 penalties
note > Ark ran 98 plays and had 515 yards.....
OU's D looked improved vs most teams....but check out what happened when they faced a hurry-up team like WV...OKie St ...or Baylor
OU D allowed an AVERAGE of 304 rushing....(564 TO).....and 44 points
Sooner O averaged 580 TO....34 FD.....and 48 points
SITUATIONAL wise ....this one is very interesting....as you have a talented OU team with a buncha Srs playing their last game.....and should get a few guys back from injury......vs the media / fan darling Aggies with a young (probable) Heisman Trophy QB....fresh off a 2 week or so "you're the greatest ever" ..."how long before you turn pro?" (radio guys already discussing)......glory ride....................................
* I would lean Aggies...but the OVER (71) looks like easy money.....thinking is the Aggies will stop/slow down OU ....doesn't look like it does it?
Already bet Duke at 10'...will probably bet WV and / or OVER ...............

Why would Oklahoma be disappointed? They ought to be thrilled. A&M is a much better opponent than they would have gotten in a BCS bowl. |

Was sorry to see you didn't post much this year. I usually like to follow your picks - which is concerning because I was thinking opposite on all four of your leans.
Good luck any way.

I keep saying this, and people laugh at me. OK got the bowl they want, and the last thing the B12 needed was Texas in the Cotton getting blown out by A&M. |
