Live Fan Feedback: Week 12 Friday

Comments on the week from our expert panel of reporters, bankers, doctors, lawyers, ad wizards, lawn guys, bond guys, car guys, pilots, priests, principals, builders, teachers, bums, and nomads.

Continually updated throughout the day...

Sue Everybody by Glenn B:

The Cardinal prevails; Stanford over Cal. Keep your bonus point.

Buckeyes' real talent lies in the "good at losing BCS bowl games" department so for now, it's Ohio State over Iowa.

Coach Beamer makes VT watch this video (it's essentially Cloverfield minus the giant monster and man-eating spiders; replace all the "WOOO"s with "AAIIEEEEEE"s, and this is a very different video) once a week so that the wound stays fresh and the team stays focused. Virginia Tech not distracted by South Beach, defeats Miami.

Thank goodness for the Alabama and Auburn losses; otherwise, this would be the game for Arkansas to lose inexplicably. Now, however, Petrino is loose and limber; Arkansas over Mississippi State. Sorry, Maroon.

Nebraska nearing the end of its Big 12 farewell tour, still irritated that they lost to the Longhorns (the 2010 Longhorns!!); they vent their corn-fueled rage on UT's little brother, Nebraska over Texas A&M.

Too easy. Knowing that I don't believe in home field in football, this is a sucker setup. Give me all visitors. -- Dean of Sportswriters

I have to say, while it's nice to be near the top, it stresses me out. How about this for picks:

Aggie Mark Editorial:

Wow, Texas A&M in the pool two weeks in a row. Aggies are almost as hot as soybeans and fish farms - my knowledge of which comes exclusively from John Vratsinas. However, while I have fully invested my kids' college funds into Iowan aquaculture, I cannot jump any further onto the bandwagon of all things Iowa and must select Sweater Vest U over the Hawkeyes. And, because I have to get my shots in when I can, a bonus pick: FIU over Texas - bwaa-haaa-haaaa! Gig 'em.

Personal rant: If you don't win your conference, you can't win the title. Sorry Les Miles, but if LSU is not the SEC champ, they don't deserve to be national champ. Good season, here's a nice bowl game and a nice raise. Better luck next year. Just set up a playoff with eight conference champs and I'll be happy.
