    Week 13 is here! I figured this should be a horrible week for matchups seeing as it's the week before rivalry week, and lots of teams schedule patsies before the last game of the season. It wasn't as bad as I thought though... I did have a little trouble finding a 10th game for the week, so I just went ahead and put our game in there just to stir things up a little bit!

    It's getting down to the wire, so make every week count! Here are the matchups:

    Ole Miss @ Florida
    Illinois @ Rutgers
    North Carolina @ Boston College
    BYU @ Arizona State
    Colorado @ Kansas
    Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State
    Central Florida @ West Virginia
    TAMU @ Auburn
    Virginia Tech @ Duke
    Southern California @ UCLA

    ***Picks are due at normal time: Saturday at Noon.

    ***Edit: One more thing for this week: I'm going up to the game on Saturday, so there will be no Saturday Morning Warning!!!

    Good luck to you all, and to all: GO GATORS!!!

    Please don't abuse me too much fellow pickers. I have to choose honesty over loyalty and sincerely hope I'm wrong. I have very little chance of winning this contest, but if I'm going to make a move I have to make bold choices. Ole Miss is #16 in total defense, Florida is #98. Ole Miss is #2 in total offense, Florida is #80. Ole Miss is #51 in rushing offense, Florida is #80. Ole Miss is #2 in rushing defense, Florida is #92. Ole Miss is #2 in passing offense, Florida is #64. Ole Miss is #82 in passing yards allowed, Florida is #92. I will be rooting hard for an upset, but I just don't see it happening this week. Sorry.

    What was UK ranked across the board? Or LSU for that matter. Ole Miss has lost to the two teams we beat. They also played:
    Furman
    Middle Tenn
    Wake Forest
    Georgia southern which really helped pad those stats.

    They've also only scored more than 28 pts once vs a SEC team this year and that was vs. Arky.

    They're not unbeatable just ask LSU or UK.

    I fully understand. So are you going to pick the Gators for 5 points?

    Lol of course not. I want the gators to win and I want points. Having done Realtys picks panel for the last 8 seasons and smootys last year I've learned i can't often get both both points and a gators win.. I pushed my luck last week not sure i will this week. Most certainly not for 5 points.

    I'm failing to see where whether I would pick UF as my 5 pointer and you saying you don't see how we can win this week because of the over inflated statistical rankings they have havebanything to do which each other.

    If we come to play we can definitely win. Ole Miss has already shown us that they can definitely come out flat when they shouldn't.

    I'm going to pick the gators with my one pointer. I quit picking the gators to win big games is why I'm even in this thing at this point I'll never pick against them, but I'm not putting my five pointers in their basket.

    I made an edit in the OP. I will be up in Gainesville for the game on Saturday, so I won't be making my Saturday Morning Warning post. So don't forget to make your picks this week everyone!

    I'll also be going to the Basketball game on Friday night! Looking forward to some live Gator sports this weekend!

    And yes... I'll be cheering for the Gators despite picking Ole Miss as my 5-pointer! I'll gladly jump on that grenade and sacrifice 5 points for a Gator win this weekend! :D
