Wiz could u post the champ avi for Webby?

ty

Well here's optimism for you, I have it because I knew I'd need it sooner or later.

later tonight. I'm at work and don't have access to it. Will be home in like 3 hours.

I'll do it.... ear you go webfoot!

Exactly, not even mentioning Grice and B Mamba.

The PAC is ridiculous this season. Best they have been in years. Wait til UCLA and Washington maintain success and USC gets back to USC.

Move over SEC.

You know mamba, this has me thinking.

Just how ridiculous is the PAC12?

Do we have a single, one loss in a season team in our conference or are we still a must win out for all 12?

Hey mamba, or anyone?

Opinions please?

Of the PAC 12 teams, if any, what game could they lose and still make the NT game?

You might say Oregon for sure, as long as it's not to Stanford or the CCG, right?

What other scenarios mamba.

What scenarios do any of you see for your team PAC 12 thread dudes?

For my Bruins, we may still get in even with a loss to Oregon or Stanford, especially if we avenge that loss in the CCG. So with that in mind, we could probably lose to just about anyone left on our schedule and recover. As long as it's not in the CCG we would get the nod over any other 1 or 2 one loss team in the Country if the PAC 12 really is ridiculous this season.

Utah covers this one. This is what is going to happen. Take note on what happened up in Eugene last week. The Cal QB could not play in that rain, now if it snows which it looks like it's going to. It will affect Huntley more then Wilson. Utah will put 8 in the box force Huntley to throw or run. I don't want to see either be successful, so If Utah stops there run game Utah wins this one. Weather good play or bad weather if utah can beat the 13th ranked team in the Nation, (like I said a month ago) the skys the limit for this team. But ya Utah covers and wins by 6 38-32

The Utes have looked good so far against he rush this year and are one of the leaders in the nation in pass rush. They contained a very fast rushing attack in BYU who entered the Holy War the #2 rushing attack in the nation. BYU's rush game is better than fucla's. Not by much. So they can contain the rush. The issue is if the Bruins pass. The Ute secondary sans the Holy War when it faced a team who can't pass hasn't been very good. The had zero INTs entering the game and their CBs routinely get beat on one-on-one match-ups with WRs. OSU lit them up and so did USU until the 4th quarter of that game.

I'm pulling for the Utes...I cover this team for my job.

I think Travis Wilson continues to show the Pac-12 how much he's improved. Dres gets his 4th-straight 100-yard game. Dres does need to cut down on drops. He had two last game. Erickson is doing a great job for the most part with play-calling. He had BYU set up last week for those sluggos and ran the screen game effectively vs. OSU when they kept pressuring Wilson. Utah faces a fucla team with a D who gets off to slow starts. The Ute O is slow-starting too. So this might be the game, they finally get on track early.

Okay now this is getting bad, even in this pickem the North is outplaying the South!

* To be fair however you guys do have us out numbered 10-6 but still those number say we should win at least one of every four or better. At least tf12 is representing us well in the overall.

As for the Divisions in the PAC the North is 5-0 vs the South....Ouch!

Congrats Webfoot!

I have to!! Lord knows my team isn't on the field!!

LB play is always a good thing, but against Stanford it will boil down to UW's "jumbo" package on the D line and how much fatigue they will get over the course of the game. Stanford doesn't need the uptempo to wear you down. They slowly steam roll you until you are as flat as a pancake.

Both teams will probably get over 100y in the air, but it will be a ground game for both to be sure.

UW must get ASJ a lot more involved in the offense than he has been so far if they are to have any chance. Not only in passing, but his blocking. He just hasn't looked as dominating as he did last year. I guess sitting out all of spring and the first game really had some effect on him.

What will likely doom the dawgs is Price and his continued struggles on the road. He didn't have exactly a great game vs Illinois and I doubt he all of a sudden gets better this game.

Think this will be the game that ASJ gets unleashed. He made some great plays during Zona and helped greatly on the goal line plays our RBs smashed through for TDs. At 270, it's like having a 6th lineman out there for run plays and goal line.

This game will be very smash mouth and physical. All our big bangers on O: Kasen, ASJ, Sankey, Callier, and FBs will be out there to deliver the smash right back at them.

I'm increasingly confident in the Dawgs chances in this game looking at the stat comparisons right now. We might still lose this game, but it will be by less than 10.

If we had the defense we had last year, I bet we would win the south. Same talent dont know what happened. Only losing Keelan Johnson and Brandon Magee.

Our defense is based on high risk high reward. The way we play we aren't going to shut anybody down. The way the USC game turned out is ideally how we want every game to turn out. We knew that they couldn't keep up with us in a shootout so we played them very aggressively and it worked. We forced 4 turnovers and had a ton of TFLs. Every time they ran the ball they either got stopped in the backfield or went for 10+ yards. If our offense continues to play at a high level we are going to continue to play defense this way because we know all we need is one turnover or one TFL/sack to force a 3 and out and we can blow a game wide open.

all is contigent on what everyone else does.

I think pecking order is

SEC
PAC
ACC
B1G
Big 12

^^^ whether these have 0 losses then that is the order. Same if they all had one loss.

As far as who my team can lose to that is a thought I am not ready to explore.

Washington is not ready for a game of this magnitude. Stanford easily covers.

Thats not me hating. Just doing what I do. Picking Winners

Not so fast....

Didn't you assure us just two weeks ago that Stanford was a paper tiger and a shell of what they were last year?

So now we are to take your word for it that they are a sure fire lock against the Huskies?

Really though, pick a stance on them and stick with it will ya?

I have already admitted that Stanford is better than I thought. I still see them losing 2 conference games and I am guaranteeing one of those losses wont be Saturday.

It is my 5 star lock that Stanford covers. This line should be 9 1/2

 

[WhiteMamba]

Wiz,

Have you watched Stanford play?

They did look great in ASU game. No doubts.

But I will say this. The TEs are missed big time after watching the WSU Stanford replay. They dropped balls, WRs werent running good routes. Hogan looked just barely avg.

Defense played well.

But as a team they had some head scratching penalties that you usually dont see from Stanford.

Admittedly, I am nit picking. But I did see some flaws bigger than I expected from a very good team.

They usually lose 2 games a year since Harbaugh/Shaw era. Dont see that changing. See 2 losses both in conference play.
