Week 12 picks

The Bulldogs look to keep pace against the Wildcats.
Well the Bulldogs are here again this week. They play another good team but yet they still sit there with two losses regretting both of them. A win over Tennessee and perhaps right now instead of just hoping to keep pace in the race for the SEC East. They’d be playing for a national title bid. But that’s a could have, would have sort of thing. Too late now. All they have to hope for now is a Tennessee loss and that’s only if they keep winning. But beating Kentucky will be either a challenge or a walk through.
Kentucky has proven their ability to win with the game against LSU earlier this season. Georgia would like that same opportunity in the SEC title game but to get it they’ll have to be able to stop Andre Woodson. Who was once a heisman candidate, now is just a quarterback with really good numbers. But on the flip side Stafford has really good numbers too. But the running back for Georgia may end up being the difference. As Moreno helped them run away last week against Auburn this week he’ll look to repeat that. This game won’t be a walk over for either team but it definitely is a game to pay attention too. Redemption meets pace.

What was the game last year is once again this year.
Well one of these two teams is playing to get into the Rose Bowl. The other perhaps the Outback or Citrus bowl. Ohio State may be able to lose and make a BCS bowl. Both of these teams want to get into the Rose Bowl to redeem their embarrassing bowl games last year. As Ohio St. will travel to Ann Arbor and the Big House to take on Michigan. This game will show who wants the game, Big Ten more. Either team wins they’ll have the outright Big Ten championship. Once again proving their dominance over the rest of the conference.
Michigan will be looking to play seniors Chad Henne and Mike Hart who would help their cause. As that would make their offense much more compatible to the offense that beat Ohio St. last week. I think if Michigan wants to win this game they’ll have to be able to get the Ohio St. defense on its heels. Then go over the top. While Ohio St. will be looking to beat up on the Michigan defense that has been questionable this season. Maurice Wells will be looking to get the Ohio St. dominance over the last few years out and running early. Yet what is it that I smell, I think I fell times are a changing and the sweater vest may lose a little oomph.

Expect a shoot out that shakes the Big East.
Well with a Big East title on the line and almost all of the teams still in the race, who isn’t to say that this game could make or break it. One team is looking to keep their national title hopes alive. But to do that they’ll have to beat the other team which has home field advantage and is looking to make a run at a Big East Championship. The powerful West Virginia offense will look to keep tearing teams up. As Pat White and Steve Slaton look to keep the duo threat alive. But with a national title hopes all of the sudden a lot more likely with an Oregon loss… it seems all the more likely they are to lose.
Cincinnati is coming off wins against South Florida and Connecticut they look to keep that play alive against West Virginia. As their fans will be making a lot of noise. But the question is how much noise does the defense want to make. If it decides not to make much this won’t be funny. I don’t care that Cincinnati’s offense is in the top 20 but West Virginia’s is even better. So can they play keep up or will their defense be able to make the noise. They’ll get plenty of help from the fans at the game who will be all in red and black looking for some of that Tuscon Magic.
