The two leaders remained tied. They expanded their lead over yours truly (I picked the wrong upset). We have a really interesting final four teams: Ole Miss, Oregon, Indiana, and Miami. Today will determine our first cut. Unfortunately, some of you won't be within striking distance, so I will not seek your picks for the semifinals and final game. We will have three games today.
By the way, instead of watching football, you should really watch Jack Smith's testimony to the House Oversight Committee. Just watch it.
Here are today's games and odds:
There are four games but we only picked 3, because an all Texas affair of Texas State v. Rice was just not worthy of our contest. Rice is 5-7 for crying out loud, and Texas State? Sheesh, that's where I got my master's degree. Believe me, any school that gives me a graduate degree (with honors) is a degree mill at best. (I kid, but it was called Southwest Texas State when I got the piece of paper.)
The Liberty Bowl features Navy v. Cincinnati. Spread is Navy -7.5! After Texas Tech's performance yesterday, any Big 12 school should be embarrassed to play. Kathy picked the upset, while Margaret has the Navy. Big match up.
The Holiday Bowl, my favorite bowl for many reasons (see former posts), features SMU v. Arizona. SMU is the slight 1.5 point favorite. Kathy and Margaret both picked SMU, but I picked SMU.
Another great bowl, the Duke's Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, NC, features Mississippi State v. Wake Forest. SEC v. ACC. The 5-7 Mississippi State is still a 3 point favorite versus the 8-4 Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Oh, that's some major disrespect to the ACC. Margaret has Mississippi State and Kathy has Wake Forest.
Wow, today could be decisive. Enjoy your Friday!
