College Football Pick'em Week 9 Results

Alright, so last week was horrible. There’s really no other way to put it. I’m not sure if I was out of it while making picks or what. But whatever it was, you can bet it was a one time occurrence. Never again will I perform that poorly in the Walker-Sports College Football Pick’em again. Just how bad was it? Well take a look.

Penn State 13 vs. Ohio State 6: The Buckeyes came out and they put on a show for the hometown crowd. However, it was not enough to knock off what is obviously the best team in the Big 10. Penn State got the cover and the win.

Georgia 52 vs. LSU 38: More than anyone the LSU Tigers made me looks as dumb as possible. LSU had a chance to play at home and lay a claim to the share of the SEC West (with a little help from Bama and Auburn). All they did was run into a Georgia team that I thought was good, but no where near that good. Georgia came away with an easy cover in this one.

Texas 28 vs. Oklahoma State 24: No excuses here, I should have had faith in my man Mike Gundy and his Oklahoma State squad. Not really sure what my motivation was, other than the fact that I was way too caught up in Texas' win over Missouri from the previous week. Unfortunately the spread was Texas -13, and those were just too many points to cover.

Texas Tech 63 vs. Kansas 21: I went with Kansas on this one and once again I was dead wrong. I’m still not convinced that Texas Tech is that good, but I do know that Kansas is that bad. No BCS for them this year. Oh yeah and they didn’t cover or pull the upset.

Alabama 29 vs. Tennessee 9: Yes, finally got one right on the week. Alabama came in a 6 point favorite and they took care of business. Thank you Nick Saban for allowing me to save a little face.

Florida State 30 vs. Virginia Tech 20: As a UVA fan I should have known better than to bet on Tech, but it seemed like a smart move at the time. In the end I failed to realize just how poor the Virginia Tech offense really is. It does not help that Virginia Tech lost both their starting quarterbacks. Throw in the fact that Bobby Bowden has his team back and you get Florida State rolling easily over Va. Tech and maybe on their way to an ACC title.
