WEEK 11 Had An 11-11-11

And that's the only time that will occur this college football season. Now, let's hope we can say the same for my less-than-impressive 21-9 last week. Yikes!

So, with 33 teams to either redeem me or shame me, here are your Week 11 winners (in CAPS):

*OKLAHOMA STATE @ Texas Tech--I would LOVE to be wrong on this one.
*Wake Forest @ CLEMSON
*NEBRASKA @ Penn State
*Florida @ SOUTH CAROLINA
*TEXAS @ Missouri
*MICHIGAN STATE @ Iowa
*WEST VIRGINIA @ Cincinnati
*Rice @ NORTHWESTERN
*Pitt @ LOUISVILLE
*OHIO STATE @ Purdue--I think.
*BAYLOR @ Kansas--The Jayhawks haven't won a game in two months.
*Wyoming @ AIR FORCE--The hometown birds are on a roll (aviationally speaking)
*Arizona @ COLORADO--Look, we need a win. I honestly think the Buffs are the better team. The trick is to get THEM to think that. If they do, they'll win, and we can watch Mike Stoop implode.
*Texas Christian University @ BOISE STATE
*Texas Agriculture & Military @ KANSAS STATE
*Auburn @ GEORGIA--The Bulldogs have not lost a game in two months.
*WISCONSIN @ Minnesota--Despite valiant wins of late, the GGs will fall to the Badgers.
*MICHIGAN @ Illinois
*MIAMI @ Florida State--Likely close, likely a loss for Jimbo.
*RUTGERS @ Army
*Washington @ USC--Not a mighty blow by the Trojans, but a close win nonetheless.
*Tennessee @ ARKANSAS--These are some tough-skinned little piggies!
*SAN DIEGO STATE @ Colorado State--The Rams are wretched this year and the Aztecs will take advantage.
*Oregon State @ CALIFORNIA--Tedford needs a win and here's his chance. ONE more for Cal.
*UCLA @ Utah--This one might be close, but our Rick pulls it out in the end.
*Western Kentucky @ LSU--'Nuff said.
*Maryland @ NOTRE DAME
*ALABAMA @ Mississippi State
*Oregon @ STANFORD--I was at the eye specialist's this week and had a nice conversation with a lifelong Ducks fan and son of season ticket-holders since the early 70s. I told him how my late Bouvier, Sasha, worshipped the Ducks--he's a dog guy, turns out, and loved the story--and how we did too...except for this week...when they play our glorious STANFORD. Neat guy, great conversation, but his Ducks just have to lose this one. Sorry, Sasha!
*University of Central Florida @ SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI--Most likely.
*Idaho @ BYU
*Hawai'i @ NEVADA--If this one gets close it'll come down to travel.
*ARIZONA STATE @ Washington State--If this was WEEK 1 or 2, I'd pick the Cougars. But the Sun Devils have decided to rule the late season and the Cougs have decided to be done with it.

Should be a fun day so please enjoy! And, if you're so inclined, watch the Duck Blind game tonight--you know, Ducks + Trees. While I'm no fan of the hunting, I'm definitely solidly deep in the woods tonight. GO TREES! GO THE CARDINAL! And as the dog "said" in The Far Side cartoon--when attempting to get the family cat into the clothes dryer--"Oh please, oh please!!"
