Six for Six. ISU Cubs fan was able to jump ahead of me in the overall point total though, thanks to having 21 points on TCU while I only had 10. I'm not too confident about what my system spit out tomorrow.

 

I have 32 points running on a team that hasn't won a bowl since I was about eight years old while they're visiting a team six billion miles away.

If by "having it" the whole game you mean getting severely outplayed the entire game, then you would be correct.

 

They led 13-3 tell late 3rd right?

I've been thinking the whole time that we were picking against the spread. I thought i was cool with Boise losing by only 1.

no, they led 13-0 in the 2nd quarter and they got outgained nearly 2 to 1 for the game.

 

i'm currently 5-1 (only miss was on troy) and have 91 points in the yahoo confidence thingy.

The Defending Champ (me) didn't enter to enable the rest of you to have a chance.

 

USC over PSU by 21.

 

you either over estimate USC's offense or under estimate PSU's defense. I think USC wins, but the game will be low scoring

I could see USC winning something like 28-7. I would expect it to be a bit closer, but a scoreline like that wouldn't surprise me. What would surprise be is a 49-28 game.

USC had the #1 scoring defense in the country, but it's not like the Pac 10 offenses were lighting people up. I don't understand why people think PSU will lose by 3 TD's. PSU has a great offense and a great defense, USC is the same. I don't think the game being in Pasadena gives them an extra 10 point edge.

USC 23

PSU 2

 

But seriously

 

Offense:

 

PSU - 40.2 ppg

USC - 37.5 ppg

 

PSU - 452.2 ypg

USC - 453.1 ypg

 

PSU - 211.6 rypg

USC - 206.0 rypg

 

PSU - 240.6 pypg

USC - 247.1 pypg

 

Defense:

 

PSU - 12.4 ppg

USC - 7.8 ppg

 

PSU - 263 ypg

USC - 206 ypg

 

PSU - 95.9 rypg

USC - 83.3 rypg

 

PSU - 168 pypg

USC - 123 pypg

 

 

in summary, their offense's are nearly statistically identical, while USC has an edge in all of the defensive categories (though both teams are top 10 in the country). conclusion, game should be closer than people think.

PSU will fare far better against USC than OSU did against the Trojans, in my opinion. Penn State matches up better, but still not extremely well against USC. I think it'll be pretty close (no more than 7-10) most of the game and USC might pull away late.

 

I'm pretty confident USC will win, though.

As happy as I am for Schnellenberger and FAU, I am now pretty much completely screwed in the contest.

 

I put 29 confidence points on Central Michigan beating FAU. #-o

Even though I picked CM it was to my benefit that FAU won b/c most other ppl. had more confidence pts. on them.

Stop the presses! Meph missed a game! Armageddon is at hand! :shock:

I'm sure he didn't agree with the pick. It's just what his computer told him to pick.

Yeah, he was complaining about that before the ND game. He picked Notre Dame, even though he was worried about it.
