By my count we have at least five folks still alive going into the last day. The first two games will be crucial. The last game of the day is meaningless. The SEC is a monster league (except for Texas A&M, Ha ha). They dominate bowl games like, well, Ole Miss is tonight as I write this. Can Penn State bring some pride back to the Big 10? Moriah sure hopes so. This is the key game for Charlotte's best picker. Georgia is the 6 point favorite.
Bay Area pickers Chris Ross and Margaret/Candace Key are hoping Oregon comes through against TCU in San Antonio's Alamo Bowl. BIG NEWS for this game. TCU's stud quarterback Trevone Boykin was arrested two nights ago for allegedly assaulting a police officer in a downtown San Antonio bar, Pat O'Brien's. I've been in Pat O'Brien's. Evidently, that has been the hangout for TCU players this week. Twitter rumor indicates several drunken events have taken place culminating in Boykin's idiocy. He was sent home obviously suspended for the game. Can Coach Patterson rely on his coaching prowess to stick with Oregon's famous offensive attack without his best player. Highly doubtful. If I could change my pick I would. Advantage west coast. Oregon is favored by a touchdown.
I will be traveling tomorrow. But I will try to let everyone know official results by the end of the day. I'm pretty sure we will have a tie between two or more folks, and we will have to go to the Championship game tie breaker.

I can't believe I'm still in the race! I took the sentimental route with Northwestern and paid the price. I didn't take the sentimental and logical route with Stanford and paid the price (actually I transcribed the wrong team on the form I sent to the Commish, but no whining, just sucking it up and hoping my picks today propel me into the sudden death round. Thanks Commish for the great write ups. Next year you will have to teach us to Tweet.
