2015 Six Pick - Week Thirteen

Six Pick + 1 for rivalry week. For this final week of the regular season we have 7 games where both teams are ranked. I could not leave any of those games out. ALL Ranked Rivalry week is the best rivalry week.

One last time. For Frank. For Bowl eligibilty. For Merica.

Friday, November 27th
Navy at Houston PK
12:00 pm ABC

• That crashing sound is Houston losing to UConn and falling out of the lead looking to earn the Group of Five's lone guaranteed New Year's Six bowl berth. Hopefully, the loss was due to Herman's infatuation with VT
• Death, taxes and teams not being able to play assignment football vs the triple option

Pick: Houston. Herman rallies the Coogs and wins.

Baylor -1.5 at TCU
7:30 pm ESPN
The Revivalry

• The Horned Frogs will need to be healthy to win, unlike Baylor who can win with their 3rd string QB, TCU needs everyone in working order to have a shot
• One True Champion. There are 2 options. TCU wins and the Bedlam winner is crowned or Baylor wins and the H2H match up of Baylor and the winner of OU/Okie State decides it. Nervous times in Waco

Pick: Baylor by at least a touchdown.

Saturday, November 28th
Ohio State at Michigan -2.5
12:00 pm ABC
The Game

• Michigan is 1-10 in the last 11 games vs Ohio State, but now they are on even footing in the coaching department. I am pretty excited to see how UM attacks OSU, who has much better personnel, but much worse chemistry
• All year OSU has looked out of whack and not played up to their ability. There is obviously something going on there, I hope it's crazy enough to be an ESPN 30 for 30 in a decade

Pick: Michigan by at least a field goal, there is a lot of discord in Columbus, I can't ignore it.
***

Ole Miss -1.5 at Mississippi State
7:15 pm ESPN2
The Egg Bowl

• Clanga, Clanga, CLANGA. Dan Mullen keeps shaking that cowbell. F your last place SEC West predictions again. Clanga, Clanga, CLANGA
• I can't explain Ole Miss, so I am not even going to try

Pick: Ole Miss barely covering in a tight one.
***

Notre Dame at Stanford -3.5
7:30 pm FOX
for the Legends Trophy

• Expect to see a lot of this guy. A great showing here and McCaffrey might be in play to attend the Heisman cermony to see the crowning of Derrick Henry
• ND in those hideous green unis were in a look ahead mode and have been for a few weeks. ND is in the thick of it with whoever comes out the B12 for the 4th playoff spot. They'll need to beat Stanford and look pretty doing it

Pick: Notre Dame getting the points, I am not sure who wins, but I think it will be by less than a FG.
***

Florida State -1.5 at Florida
7:30 pm ESPN
The @_FloridaMan Swap Meet

• FAU took UF to OT. Read that again
• UF can only hope the rumors of LSU coming for Jimbo distracts him this week. LOL, they screwed. Jimbo, and FSU represent!

Pick: FSU by no small margin, UF is the worst one loss team in the nation.
***

Oklahoma at Oklahoma State ??
8:00 pm ABC
BEDLAM

• If Baylor wins, Okie State will not be the B12 champion. If that happens, will that deflate their performance in Bedlam?
• If QB Baker Mayfield (possible concussion) is a no go, take Okie State and whatever. He's the guy that makes OU go, without him they are a 3 loss team right now

Pick: OU by a touchdown, Mayfield will play. I know Okie State is really good, a home dog, and playing a rivalry game, but the Sooners are playing for a spot in the 4.
