Brandonozz...this is for you...I suggest that there are teams all across the country that you either like or dislike for any reason.  This pool is set up to pick the teams that you think are going to win.  With that being said...I would like to offer my TOP TEN LIST of teams in all conferences that I kind of like and would like to see win in certain games.  I am just doing the like side of my list...

 

1.  Illinois...just because

2. Northwestern...same reason

3. Wisconsin...roots there

and the rest in no particular order

4. Arkansas...just do

5. Oklahoma...lots of friends there

6. Maine...was stationed there

7. Syracuse...I have no idea why

8. Appellation St....the last no name team to beat Michigan ...how great is that??  Let's face it...every team lives to play and beat Michigan...Illinois got them a few years ago on Halloween...things you do not forget.  :)

9. Any team playing the SEC..they really do have the best conference

10. Any team playing the Pac 12...just because they always seem to have the Big Ten's number...although Michigan St. got Stanford this year.

11.  OH OH...I have to put in Northern Illinois University...they have been excellent to watch for the last 5 years...beat Iowa 1st game this year.  WOO HOO!!!

What? No mention of Notre Dame? You aren't that far away and there is a special tie between Navy and ND. That's why, as long as Navy wants to, they will always have them on the schedule. What the Navy did for Notre Dame always comes to mind when they play.

Here's an interesting read about the history of Notre Dame and Navy football for those who didn't realize it. This history plus the fact that my Dad was in the Navy during WW2 always has me on the fence when they meet on the field. My Dad was always a diehard Notre Dame fan except for one game every year. Can't say that I blame him.

That's the first I've seen of the history between Navy and Notre Dame Racin'. Very interesting story about helping one another,honoring commitment and a common goal to train and educate the next generations Very proud traditions there. :)

Stevasaurus,

I know what you mean about liking certain teams. There are programs that I have to be respect with their history, traditions and honor they bring to the field. That same history and success of some teams cause many to dislike programs just because they want David to slay Goliath.

On the other hand, I could never come close to liking a team from the SEC. They like themselves so much they don't need me anyway! No doubt they play good football but I get sick of ESPN and all the analysts blowing so much smoke up their skirts all the time. To hear them talk, other conferences have no chance when playing the SEC. Missouri and Texas A&M have only been there a couple of years and I think they both proved that other conferences can compete.

And so it goes. The Buckeyes weren't able to get it done and by losing to Clemson prove yet again that the Big 10 is still severely overrated and not ready to compete with the SEC. Another great season for them and hopefully they and the rest of the Big 10 will continue to build and become more competitive.

OK, it looks to me like a tiebreaker needs to be in place.

 

If Bluff wins all 3 he wins outright

If JimD wins all 3 he wins outright

If Steve wins all three, it's a tie with Bluff. Oh Oh!

 

That's all the active brain cells I have left today.

Well Steve, I'd say the odds are that you'll get your tie. Why? Cuz I picked the other team in all three remaining games.
