As My Computer Violently Weeps - HPSWBT Week 12

Woke up yesterday morning to find that my laptop had developed a death rattle. Something is grinding in there and I'm pretty sure it's not good so this will be brief in hopes that she can hold for a few posts more...

And, my picks aren't doing much better.

Mississippi St. @ Arkansas (-11)

Let's just ride this Croom thing out.

Boston College @ Clemson (-7.5)

I don't typically give BC a lot of credit, but they're not typically playing Clemson.

Iowa State @ Kansas (-26.5)

For a half, the Cyclones are going to render all that KU/BCS talk irrelevant.

Duke @ Notre Dame (-6)

Why not? Somebody has to win the least interesting game to ever appear on national television.

Ohio State @ Michigan (+4)

The Rose Bowl is on the line you say? I'm glad that's all, the Big 10 is awful.

LSU @ Ole Miss (+19)

I know I've been an Ole Miss sucker all year long, but this is Orgeron's Super Bowl.

Kent State @ Temple (Pick)

So yeah, there's not a whole lot of interesting games this week. If I'm going to take Duke for the first time, why not Temple?

Miami @ Virginia Tech (-16.5)

The Hurricanes aren't as bad as they looked last week and VT simply isn't that good.

Bowling Green @ Buffalo (+1)

Might as well throw Buffalo in there as well. It would be nice for Nebraska fans if they could actually see Turner Gill coach once or twice before he takes the job.

Missouri @ Kansas State (+7)

Hmmm. Kansas State just got embarrassed, Missouri just fought it out with A&M and has an outside shot at the national title. Seems like just the sort of game the Tigers can lose, but I'll ride with them for a week.

Last Week: 4-6

Year to Date: 55-52-3

Nice to see someone on board with me about Buffalo and the countdown until Turner Gill moves to Lincoln. When Osborne says he is not looking for a head coach it is because he already has one. Got any contacts in Buffalo to find out if he has a For Sale sign up yet?
