Welcome back to Six Pick, your weekly feature that just confirms that none of us should be professional gamblers. Stats are back as I actually did my job this week! Week 4 had no perfect scores nor skunks. Week 5 saw the return of the 6 with OHokie's perfect slate. HokieJoe11 is your week 5 leader at 18.5/29.5 points and bounced back in a major way from his week 3 1.5 point performance. 4 pickers are within a point of 1st. Stats are here.
Michigan State
@ Ohio State (-20)
Nerd Fact One: Dantonio is a wizard.
Nerd Fact Two: Buckeyes are poisonous and will kill you. Don't eat the nuts either.
Pick: I like Michigan State in this one. I think they keep it close until the 3rd quarter and Ohio State wins by 14-17.
Cal
@ Oregon (-18)
Nerd Fact One: I want Ed Orgeron to coach Oregon for the name similarity and the culture mismatch.
Nerd Fact Two: The entire PAC 12 reminds me of the Coastal and I am a little jealous.
Pick: Honestly have no idea here. The PAC 12 have been performing so inconsistently, I wouldn't be surprised in Utah wins this one somehow. I'll go with Oregon.
Georgia (-25.5)
@ Tennessee
Nerd Fact One: UGA, despite being coached by Kirby, is a Fox spammer in Super Smash.
Nerd Fact Two: Tennessee is desperate for a win as their only W comes over Chattanooga (which I probably misspelled)
Pick: Even with the spread, I'm taking UGA.

Texas (-11.5)
@ WVU
Nerd Fact One: Texas has had two close games and two blowouts. Both close games were against ranked opponents.
Nerd Fact Two: WVU is not a ranked opponent.
Pick: I pick Texas.
Purdue
@ Penn State (-27.5)
Nerd Fact One: Purdue Pete is a serial killer.
Nerd Fact Two: The above picture was him finding his next victim.
Pick: 4 touchdowns seems a lot for Penn State. I'll take Purdue to keep it close.
Virginia Tech
@ Miami (-13.5)
Nerd Fact One: Miami barely beat CMU earlier this year.
Nerd Fact Two: Virginia Tech barely beat Furman earlier this year.
Pick: All signs point to a blow out for Miami. This makes me once again take the Hokies by 72 in a drumming of the Canes.

Oh man, just checked the standings. There are people who've missed entire weeks who are ahead of me. I am bad at this.
The real winner is the one who has fun along the way. And drinks beer.

Sparty @ Nutty (-20): Because #$%& this.
Bears @ Ducks (-18): Because &#$% that.
Dwags (-25.5) @ Vols: Because @#&(@ everything.
Horns (-11.5) @ Neers: Because I hate football.
Nightmare Machines @ Big Cats (-27.5): Because Purdue Pete WILL kill you in your sleep for not picking him.
Hokies @ Cokeheads (-13.5): And most of all @#$% you Nerd for continuing to make me do this.
At least I can enjoy some good local beer to numb the pain of not-good local football.

Not checking the stats for last week because there is no way to know for sure that I didn't pick a single game correct if I never look.
Damn, finally got a 6-for-6. Only took three years to do it.
