With joy and regret this is the last Six Pick of the season. After choking down the salad and chewing on potatoes (Idaho’s finest) the meat is sitting, waiting, on the table. Bragging rights are on the line as conferences line up their best teams against one another. A little more than two weeks, that is all that is left, and the season is complete. College football will be missed during those long eight and half months off, but I am going out on a bender. I’ll savor the last of the remaining games with a fistful of beer and some witty Twitter banter. You will notice not all games are represented in pictures, some just aren’t worthy. Choose wisely against the spread, these 28 games are going to guarantee a lot of movement in the pick ‘em. My picks will come later in the week, with a bonus word association for each game.
Everyone, say a thank you prayer to the college football gods, because the Worldwide Leader and not Fox has the BCS games. Even 5 minutes of Lou Holtz is better than 35 of Barry Switzer.

haha
reading through that, I think I picked every State school to win
finally made it back up over 50% for the season. inspired by VTColtTXRangers comment and my apathy for most of these matchups i made all the picks based on a coinflip. however, i did not like the outcome and changed many of them. i'm sure i will regret that decision.

Mizzou - LOCK of the bowl season, that and half the hawkeyes will be high at kickoff
Maryland - win one for the fat guy
Baylor - 1 team is coached by the zooker ... i'm going with the other team
Oklahoma State - the pokes are hanging 40+
SMU - these horse fly
Kansas State - the stench of ronp is gone
North Carolina - unless the heels get in more trouble
Washington - to keep it closer
USF - ugly low scoring game
Notre Dame - irish peaking and playing for something
UCF - outright win
Florida State - cocks don't want to be there
Texas Tech - tuberville wins bowls
Penn State - joepapa last prop up?
Michigan State - way too many points
Mississippi State - mullen showcasing talents for psu?
Wisky - POWER
Oklahoma - shaky, but stoops needs a statement beatdown
Stanford - prove me wrong
Arkansas - petrino the classier of the 2 coaches?
Miami (Ohio) - got nothing
LSU - madhatter will do something good, something bad and something dumb as shit
neKtucky - 9th SEC team > 3rd BE team
Boston College - run defense
Auburn - until proven otherwise, the SEC is college football's daddy.
