The Goat Pen

Not in love with any of this action but here are my Thanksgiving picks.

Bears - 3.5 vs Lions
Raiders +7.5 vs Cowboys (this one is just bad news either way)
Bills -4 vs Saints

They all look boring but I'm sure I'll watch.

I took Bears -2^…should have bought the hook…

Bills was easy money, as was Ole Miss…although I missed the over in the Egg Bowl…

Ohio State OWNS Harbaugh. I don't think he's ever beaten them. Actually, I am shocked he hasn't been fired yet.

Will this be the year Harbaugh beats them? I think they are in Ann Arbor. I don't think it will make any difference, I expect the Buckeyes will just out-athlete Michigan. Either way, all the 5th wheel trailers and RVs are probably pulling into the parking lot early this morning and there they will sit for 36 hours.



Winner plays Wisconsin (most likely) in the B1G-T(14)N championship (assuming Wisconsin wins this weekend.)

IB, what happened to the twink cruiser porn??

Still working on it

trying to make interesting, believable, dialogue

Please just burn it.

Kiffin has probably the best year he is going to have at Ole Miss

I wonder if Miami calls hims up

I am trying to imagine a college football coaching world here in late November 2021, where any university in America that actually gives a damn about who is coaching their football team, could possibly employ any athletic director who would put anyone at the top of their list AHEAD of Luke Fickell. And I just can't see it. I'm coming up empty. If there is an OBVIOUS selection right now, if you had an infinite budget to lure away and hire the most qualified coach to make your team a winner TODAY, who other than Luke Fickell would be the choice?

If he makes the playoff I don't see him leaving. I actually don't see him leaving anyway. He's a midwest guy who wants to stay there. Why would he leave?

It would be cool to see Bama left out of the playoff. Just sayin. Hope they have the balls to do it.

Nope

RG3 holds himself well calling a game. Think he finally found a job.

Gotta LOVE Michigan today.

Auburn only won titles in ‘57 and 2010? Wtf is all the hype about?

In other news, Bama’s nuts, meet Auburn’s cleat. 7-0.

They are NOT going to put a 2-loss Alabama in the playoffs over a 13-0 Cincinnati and an 11-1 Notre Dame. They MUST beat both Auburn and Georgia to be in the playoffs OR ELSE they need a lot of help.

Either Alabama finishes in the LAST College Football Playoff poll on December 7th at #1 (after beating Auburn AND Georgia) OR they are probably out (drop to 5 or lower.) The only way a 2-loss Alabama gets into the playoffs is if at least TWO of the following things happen

• Oklahoma/Oklahoma State winner today LOSING the Big-XII championship
• Houston beating Cincinnati
• Iowa/Wisconsin beating Michigan.

That's it. Then a 2-loss Alabama gets into the playoffs with an 11-1 Notre Dame and a 12-1/13-0 Georgia.

Michigan is not likely to lose to Wisconsin/Iowa and I can't imagine Houston beating Cincinnati. I suppose anything is possible given what happened to the Buckeyes today but neither Wisconsin, Iowa, nor Houston are anything close to what Michigan and Cincinnati are. Michigan might be the second best team in the entire country right now.

Oklahoma State and Oklahoma are both with one loss. One of them will STILL only have one loss after today. They are drooling after Ohio State lost. And then there is a (likely) 11-1 Notre Dame.

I think Georgia is only team that guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. Win or lose, they are in. They will either be #1 or (possibly) #4 if they lose to Alabama.

I think the playoffs will be

Georgia vs Notre Dame and
Michigan vs Cincinnati
and Oklahoma sucks a lemon

OR

Alabama vs Georgia
Michigan vs Cincinnati
and Notre Dame sucks a lemon

If Alabama keeps fucking around, they lose this game
