Week 15 Picks

So the bowl match-ups are out, and these are the games I'll be shooting to watch:
Poinsettia Bowl: TCU/Boise St. (Dec. 23)
Capital One Bowl: Michigan State/Georgia (Jan. 1)
Rose Bowl: Penn State/USC (Jan. 1)
Sugar Bowl: Utah/Alabama (Jan. 2)
BCS Championship: Florida/Oklahoma (Jan. 8)

There really aren't a lot of intriguing match-ups outside the heavyweight BCS bowls. I really wish Texas Tech could have drawn a better opponent, and the same with Texas and BYU. The games just aren't appealing, and its sad because they all have had fantastic seasons and deserve better than the bowls they got. TCU and Boise St. on December 23rd in the fucking Poinsettia Bowl??? Boise St. was a borderline BCS team for Christ's sake! Not to mention it's the #9 against #11 team in the nation. It just deserves a better billing, that's all.

Michigan State basketball is dropping like a rock...#18 and #20 in the polls. I'm not worried though. We have a lot of growing to do, so I haven't hit the panic button yet. If we're playing this badly in January/February with Suton back, then I'll start to freak out. Has anyone else noticed that Michigan has beaten UCLA and Duke so far this season. Uh-oh, they're back...

Good luck to everyone in their fantasy playoffs. Grace in her work league and Knob Hill, Adam in Knob Hill, Kevin in his family league, and me in my three other Yahoo leagues not named Knob Hill. Kev, I hope I beat you by a tenth of a point this week.

Onto the picks.

Updated standings:
Mike: 143
Kevin: 136
Adam: 128

Just trying to hold on...go make those Week 15 picks!

Can you name the top scoring fantasy running back after 14 weeks?

If you said DeAngelo Williams, you'd be correct.

Where did this guy come from??? Wasn't Jonathan Stewart supposed to take his job?

We differ on 6 games this week, Kev. Could be a very big week to determining the overall winner.

Comeback! Comeback! Comeback!

Does this mean that your boycott of the national championship game is ended? Or was just a one time thing last year?
