SOWAL NCAA pick'em

:bang:

:bang: Pooh on Oregon and Penn St.! Sure didn't think Oregon would lose. Does that suck or what???

Wow! Undefeateds down to 5.

Wow. I wonder how someone could watch that interception that would have given LSU the ball at such a crucial time and down less than a TD?

He actually had two feet touch down with the ball in his hand. Hats off to Florida and Bama, but I wonder if officials will continue to be suspended following some of these SEC games. I can certainly understand missing the call in 'real' time. But when you can actually look at it in slwo motion and still miss it, that just calls things into question.

Still a great game though. And it was a battle of attrition. I just hate to see the stripes play that kind of role.

I'm not sure it would have mattered as without Jefferson and Scott LSU wasn't moving the ball, but you sure would have liked to have had a shot.

There may never be a clearer call to overturn at a more crucial moment than yesterday's interception that wasn't. I sort of wish they would just scrap the replay system and let the calls be made on the field-these games are getting so long with all the reviews. Or, there could be an alternative to guys in a replay booth in the stadium. What I mean is a replay crew at the SEC offices making replay calls away from the hubbub of the stadium. I bet that interception would have been granted had the game been in Baton Rouge;you can't convince me that the stadium buzz doesn't impact the calls.

And with all of the above said, it wouldn't have mattered if LSU could have stopped an Alabama drive or two.

If you didn't see it, here is the play in question:

Great, now I am back down to where I was before last week. Never going to be out of the cellar this year due to all the upsets. I figured I would finish 11-4 this week but because of Oregon and Penn State losing that didn't happen. Well, at least my Vols won big yesterday although they let the Memphis Tigers score more between the 3rd and 4th quarters than they should have. Did too much napping. :roll:

For the most part we tried to pick games that were expected to be close. That's why there are some games of minimal interest on the list.

Lady D, I have regrets, too. I regret going out on a limb and picking South Carolina. I also wanted to pick Ohio State, but didn't.:bang:

I was interested in getting a view of how everyone did, game-by-game, this week. Here it is, thanks to cnestg8r. The blue means you went with Vegas and lost. The green means you won. The white means you went against Vegas and lost. LOTS more blue than in most weeks.

I want to go on record and say that I too believe LSU got robbed on the interception. I knew when he caught the ball he was inbounds, clearly from my perspective. However, I will say that we had momentum at that point in the game and still think we would have won the game. I do hate that it happened though.

Did you notice LSU moved up one spot from 9 to 8 in the BCS rankings today? I wonder if that has ever happened before?:funn:

Bring on the week 11 picks! 😀

Bring on the week 11 picks! 😀

Due to IDA, it may be late tonight or early in the morning.

Many good games this week.
