Six Pick: Week Fifteen

This weekend is it, for the regular season (sadz) as well as finalizing the playoff 4. All Hell breaks loose if two of the top 3 loses, so you know what I want. Chaos. The question is can Ohio State win and look good enough doing it with their backup, backup QB or can the B12 sneak two teams in the playoff. Can you imagine the SEC outrage if that happened? Holy crap that would be amazaballs to watch over social media. #teamchaos. No matter how it goes this weekend, enjoy, soon it will be the long offseason.


This image was too fantastic not to use at some point this year, had this been done last year with AJ McCarron in the Winston's place, you know he'd have it tatted on his back by now.

By the way, I think one could successfully argue the SEC Coastal is the worst division of the Power 5. I am letting my "God's conference" friends know that I am aware of this, you should too.

Week 15 - Championship Week
Friday, December 5th
Arizona vs Oregon -14.5
Pac-12-CG
9:00 pm FOX

Scooby snack

  • I dislike DickRod as much as the next Hokie, 'neer, Wolverine, but upsetting Oregon again and making Phil Knight slink back to his 1 Billion dollar Portland pad will make me feel better about myself or something
  • There are only two more times to enjoy Marcus Mariota in college, a good game here and he's the Heisman trophy winner

Pick: Arizona getting the points, losing by two touchdowns exactly. Arizona seems to always play Oregon tough.

Saturday, December 6th
Oklahoma State at Oklahoma -20.5
Bedlam
3:30 pm FOX

This is a fantastic collectible

Look, no one cares, I get that, but I needed a sixth game, just pick OU and move on?
Pick: OU, moving on.
***

Alabama -14.5 vs Missouri
SEC-CG
4:00 pm CBS

There are currently 1 billion Alabama SEC CG stock images on the interwebs, gonna have more next week this time

  • PAWWL, the DYNASTEE ISN'T OVER, IT'S NOT. WE ARE GOING TO WIN ANTOHER, YOU HEAR ME PAWWWWWL. DONT YOU TALK BAD ABOUT COACH SABAN, THE TEAM AND GET ME COWTURD, I'M A GOD FEARING WOMAN BUT I'VE KILLED OTHERS FOR LESS. ROLL DAMN TIDE
  • When Mizzou lands in Atlanta, some Alabama booster should stand on the concourse and hand out SECCG participation trophies, orange slices and juices boxes to the Tiger players

Pick: Mizzou getting the points, slowing down the Tide offense in what may be a let down week for Saban's crew.
***

Kansas State at Baylor -13.5
7:45 pm ESPN

Have to think the Pac 12 having their game on a Friday night, cost them ESPN Gameday

  • Baylor destined to fill the fourth playoff spot due to their outright win over TCU, right? Looks like a NO! How can they pick the Horned Frogs, loser in a H2H competition over Baylor?
  • Oh, hey disrespected K-State also tied for first in the B12 with a sound, vanilla team in the style before substance league. You wouldn't? couldn't? Shit, you gonna smash dreams aren't you Coach Snyder?

Pick: K-State and the points. This line was made with the expectation Bryce Petty will play for Baylor, if not, this is free money.

Florida State -4.5 vs Georgia Tech
ACC-CG

Flexbone Prison Blues
by Jameis Winston

I hear the playoffs a comin'
It's trollin' round the bend
And they ain't liked the sunshine state
Since I don't know when,
Now I'm stuck in Flexbone prison
And Paul Johnson keeps draggin' on
While that playoffs keeps a-trollin'
On down to Arlingtone...

When I was just a freshman
My Jimbo told me. "Jaboo,
Always be a good qb
Don't ever play with Tally sloots"
But I did lots of dumb shit in school
Just to watch my reputation die
When I hear that NFL draft blowin'
I hang my head and cry...

Pick: FSU you by a touchdown, late, very late.
***

Ohio State vs Wisconsin -3.5
B1G-CG
8:15 pm FOX

What's a classy way of saying, on the outside looking in?

  • A pro style qb in Urban Meyer's system? Good luck Cardale Jones and TCU or Baylor welcome to the Orange Bowl, enjoy Saint Saban and his Crimson Army
  • This Ohio State defense is suspect, we've known that since week one, Melvin Gordon is going to run half way to the Downtown Athletic Club before this game is over

Pick: Wisconsin by more than a touchdown, there is nothing that makes me believe OSU can stop a good offense and without JT Barrett, I can't trust the Buckeyes O.

Beer of the Week

Hardywood Bourbon Gingerbread Stout
I'll be in line early Saturday morning for this variety of Hardywood's Gingerbread Stout brewed with vanilla beans, cinnamon, fresh ginger and wildflower honey, then matured in Virginia bourbon barrels adding a mellow character with oak, caramel and bourbon undertones.

Good luck picking, it's very, very close at the top.

As an aside, how sweet would it be if the SEC Champ lost to Indiana this season?

Not as sweet as dealing the B1G Champion it's only loss of the season...

Gonna have to take the growler, and see about some Hoptopus!!! Then hit Total Wine and see what I can find on MY Christmas list. Some big Imperial Stouts should do the trick.

Okie State for the upset
Bama -14.5 (I'd feel a lot better without that half point at the end, though)

F$U -4.5 (Not terribly confident in this spread, though)

I have heard lukewarm things about the Hardywood Gingerbread stout. I need to try it to see for myself, but so far it seems more hype than anything else.

2012 gbs was AMAZING. 2013 was a let down, this yr is closer to the 2012 release, but not quite.

however last year's bourbon gbs was outstanding.

depends if you like spices in beers. i don't like pumpkin spices, but i do like gingerbread.

Alright at .500 now finally and hoping to end this year winning:

Arizona vs Oregon -14.5 : Mariota comes through for a great Heisman type game
OK State +20.5 at OU : OSU covers w/ frosh QB Loeffler wanted above Ford looking good
Alabama -14.5 vs Mizzou : Saban will try to deliver an impressive win to the judges to stay #1
Kansas State +13.5 at Baylor : Time for Snyder to play the role of the Grinch
FSU -4.5 vs GT : Think FSU will start to show out strong
tOSU +3.5 vs Wiscy : That defensive front for tOSU is damn good, tOSU for the first bitching #5

Imagine how much theatre would develop if tOSU ends up #5, wins their bowl game and the #4 get crushed.
