College football week 12: Tailgater picks of the week

Stanford hosted Oregon State last week, and the game resulted in the crew’s second push of the year.  I added a third push when Virginia benefited from one of the worst phantom pass interference calls in recent memory against Miami.  Ties are no fun, and with a push, no one wins.  So here’s hoping that week 12 will be a bit more definitive.  I’ve often wondered why all...

College football week 11: Tailgater picks of the week

Last week was somewhat of a wash, but who could think about spread when a national title was on the line?  Alabama was in trouble until late in the fourth at LSU, but to their credit, the Tide pulled out the huge win under tough circumstances.  UCLA re-established itself in the Pac 12 South by blowing out Arizona; the Wildcats are impossible to figure out.  Oregon is easy to figure...

No sooner did we have a good week…the spread fought back with a vengeance last week, dropping us back below even.  We will march on, continuing to choose the toughest, most competitive games of the season.  But I can’t lie- week 9 hurt.  It hurt bad.  So much for being on a roll.  And the likes of Florida and Oklahoma suffered right along with us. Let’s see if week 10...

A fairly successful week 4 did not, as I had hoped, lead to a sustained winning streak for the Tailgater crew, though Zach has now managed back-to-back winning weeks.  As the calendar turns to October, perhaps the new month can usher in some better luck for the rest of us.  Week 6 features some decisive contests in the SEC and a Big 12 matchup that could have a significant impact...

College football week 4: Tailgater picks of the week

Upsets continued in week 3, furthering the chaos of this young season.  Most notable was USC’s loss to Stanford, marking the fourth consecutive win for the Cardinal over the Trojans.  USC had looked so good early on that it was hard to see this one coming.  Our records on the year are still ugly…we have to claw our way back to positive ground, hopefully in week 4.
