Week Eleven did not disappoint. K-State, Michigan State, Auburn and Notre Dame were all escorted off the the Playoff four dance floor. Week Twelve while not as hyped top to bottom has plenty of top seed loss potential. Unless you have a dog in the fight, root for chaos. Plus more losses means a lot more College Football Playoff Committee dumb rankings and real and faux outrage around the country.
Nick Saban as the Governor ... *dead* #LSUFreek is the best
Week 12 Games
Saturday, November 15th
Ohio State -11.5 at Minnesota
12:00 pm ABC
#GOPHERBALL > #MANBALL
- The Buckeyes drunk and freshly tatted from the smiting of Spartans are in a for a rude 11 am, 25 degree awakening in Minnesota against a solid football team. I smell let down
- I'm sure none of us know much about the Gophers, but 7-2 is 7-2 and they deserve to break up the Pac12 and SEC OOC monopoly
Pick: Minnesota getting the points and ugling it up for an emotionally flat Buckeyes team.
***
Clemson -3.5 at Georgia Tech
12:00 pm ESPN
- Don't look now but the Jackets are 7-2 and are not out of the ACC Coastal race. Love or really hate the asshole, but CPJ can coach a lil bit
- Chad Morri's offense is usually the tits, but it's not much better than the crap VT puts on the field when he starts a shit ass qb. Here's to a healthy Deshaun Watson
Pick: Clemson by a touchdown because I believe in Deshaun Watson, the 2015 ACC PoY.
***
Mississippi State at Alabama -7.5
3:30 pm CBS
- By my math ESPN Gameday (in Tuscaloosa) will spend 100 minutes of the 96 minutes allotted to on screen commentary to this game, which won't be near enough for the fine folks from Mississippi and Alabama
- I don't like Finebaum or Cowherd, but I will make ESPN Radio appointment listening if Miss St beats Alabama, to hear the Cowherd Bama Troll and the exquisite Phyllis from Melba give well reasoned retort
Pick: MSU getting the points in a very close loss.
***
Nebraska at Wisconsin -6.5
3:30 pm ABC
The real rivalry trophy should be loser gets claim to and has to wear these fugly overalls til next year
- Nebraska and Wisconsin now play for the Freedom trophy in some made up rivalry. If we can about making shit up that isn't there, I propose VT and Duke play for the Raycom TV trophy
- No snark, but the B1G Ten West is a pretty compelling race. Nebraska, Minnesota and Wisconsin are all tied for first place and play each other over the next 3 weeks. I should watch?
Pick: Nebraska getting the points, likely winning outright. Cat friendly Bo Pelini is the best Bo Pelini.
***
Auburn at Georgia -2.5
7:15 pm ESPN
- One fan base is going to have a team with 3 losses with a potential for 4 by season's end ... that's the lunatic fringe and totally worth rubberneckin' on the information superhighway
- Mark Richt and UGA fans are going to look back at these last few seasons and wonder in disgust why they didn't run roughshod over the SEC East in the early 2010's
Pick: Auburn winning outright in a shootout.
***
Florida State -1.5 at Miami
8:00 pm ABC
1987 Canes to Jameis, "F your Swagger, F it right in the ...."
- Al Golden is now on his 15th try at getting program defining win. However, it's not a must win as Al's contract isn't up until after 2019, he'll have another 20 opportunities not to get that win
- My personal quandary ... watching FSU lose, that costs the ACC money and to the benefit of the U, but then I can take much joy in fsu fan's misery and shoving it #fsutwitter without relent. Tough call, but seeing the no loss Noles passed by the one loss Ducks this week was twitter gold
Pick: FSU covering. Hell, anything less than 7 points, I'm taking the noles, I don't care if Duke Johnson does run for 200 yards this game.

Beer of the Week:
Bruery Black Tuesday
A beer nerd friend of mine is being stationed in Germany for a year, he's having a Bruery bottleshare from his personal collection. It's a can't miss, as all are tough to get, highlighted by Black Tuesday an Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels for over a year. Rich caramel, toasted malt, vanilla, burnt wood, anise are just a few of the many flavors of this rich, decadent imperial stout.
Review:
tOSU -11.5 at Minnesota

Mississippi State at Bama -7.5
Nebraska at Wisky -6.5
Auburn at Georgia -2.5
