THE PAC 12 THREAD v.3

[SUBuddha]

Could be hedging his bets?

No I highlighted Oregon to win, but chose UCLA in the final score, so oops, meant to pick UCLA to win. I see now what the confusion was.

Can some one please change my pick to UCLA.

Got it, but just for the record, there's nothing wrong with doing that. I mean it's not against the rules or anything, especially if you think it will be a close game because if you lost the pick, the tiebreaker you listed could be the difference you need to win the week, hence hedging your bet.

Then again, since that's a two point game, hedging on that game is a weak play. I keep forgetting about that 'new rule' for the Game of the Week providing two points instead of one.

Yeo-
As I understand it, I just indicated that Stanford may or may not win, but even if they win they will not win by 17.5, if that is incorrect then I am indeed clueless. I am used to the home team being listed as - if favored and + if they are the dog. I may be wrong though. I usually stick to blackjack where I can count cards and use mathematical formulas to estimate odds.

If Stanford holds Halliday under 280 they will win by 35 plus. I can't see any scenario where it is a competitive game where we are just running the ball which would keep his yardage down.

 

[wazzu31]

The guy who has nailed his upset of the week every week nearly picked WSU over Stanford straight up. But didn't. That is Aaron Hernandez.

Randy Cross DID choose WSU to win straight up.

This game is going to be a hell of a watch and it is a Friday. All the nations eyes on this one.

Can not wait.

Go Cougs!

I'm picking us because I'm a homer but also Stanfords defense is the perfect style for our offense. Since we switched the defensive line and linebackers up after the Rutgers game we have been pretty solid up front against the run. Our main weakness is all our freshman in the secondary.

Should be a fun game and curious to see how our ST looks after we fired Russell.

Cal is favored over U-Dub?

[WhiteMamba]

Its BS. Any coach that sends his heisman candidate QB out on a trick play to receive a pass when said QB is dinged up enough to mention, (after a loss of course) is a complete moron.

It's an excuse and this excuse has a hidden agenda which really baffles me. Someone closer than I to the ins and outs of the program told me they wanted the committee to know he was injured.

Why you ask? Because the committee stated injuries at time of loss come into play in decision making. Which is a cluster f to begin with. Maybe your QB is banged up because your oline can't protect him.

Then there is this. This is where the Oregon coaches heads should be instead of worrying about that. ^^^

Cal's defense is giving up 40.4 points per game.

I thought it was like calling for a fumblerooski.

UWUB get's a good chance to right it's ship this weekender on the road no doubt. Win this one convincible and Coach P can get the nay-sayers to STFU for another week.

UWUB wins this one and moves from worse to first in the same day...just like every other team in the Pac Norte division has done already. Cal comes down from the clouds as they should.

Would you be willing to lay cash on that? I wouldn't.

Isn't this UW's first actual road game against a real team?

Be interesting to see how Miley Cyrus and her team perform on the road in conference.

Yeah I would throw good cash after bad here...

Oh boy...here we go with the Ducks vs. Huskies again.... This should shake up the Huskie's fan base a bit Mamba...

 

[Ironbreaker]

Not sure I would call Cal a real team. Definitely a real offense, no question about that. That being said, at least they have one aspect covered.

My pessimism is creeping back in for UW. All I can really say is we have at least 1/2 a defense, and I like our HEAD coach going forward. Everything else is up in the air...

This games going to answer a lot of questions for me.

 

[WizardHawk]

Cal is favored over U-Dub?

Yes, and I understand it. I will point out however that Petersen has never lost a game after a bye week. We were told after the last game that they were going back to what they found success on in earlier games on the offense so at least they are retooling what didn't work. UW's defense has been steadily improving and most analysts believe their young secondary is ready to make the next jump in this game. They already have one of the nations most potent and experienced pass rushes so a little improvement from that secondary and Cal could be in trouble.

I'm not all that worried about the play of Miles IF they go back to playing to his strengths. So really my only complaint has been the play calling because they tried to get away from what he does best, but this is a Cal defense that won't be good even at home.

 

[Ironbreaker]

It's an excuse and this excuse has a hidden agenda which really baffles me. Someone closer than I to the ins and outs of the program told me they wanted the committee to know he was injured.

...and I can certainly see that. Not only the playoff committee but the Heisman voters as well. Coaches just angling for their team and their kids. Nothing wrong with that. I just think it's BS.

Really only because of the trick play. I don't think it's any kind of a good idea to send your Heisman QB out to catch a pass if he's dinged up enough to effect his game play in the first place.

If that really is the case someone needs to kick the play caller in the nuts.

 

[Vitamike]

If you have picked any of those that I have, you may want to look at it again...

Hopefully it's not that bad Wallace. As I said, I went opposites last week and ended up losing the lot! If I just played it straight, I'd be back on track. How's the old saying go?

Can't win for losing...

And there's this too...

Hint: Those of you struggling on your picks might want to just do the opposite of vitamike each week.

All One fiddy

Oddly enough Wiz, I'm actually doing well ATS in the NFL this year..

Maybe things turn around for me ATS in our PAC contest....

As I said, here I'm doing well in the NFL pickems and in second place in another NFL ATS contest (40-36) off site of the hoop.

Everyone that has a number in a parentheses means that's how many weeks they have missed. Per the rules, if you miss at least 3 weeks you're out of the yearly running. You can still compete each week to try and win the weekly contest. I have updated the standings and took out all of the teams that have missed at least 3 weeks.
