I would really appreciate help in picking the games for the next few weeks. My schedule will be very difficult throughout January. I was hoping that Cardinal would return by now but no news so far. If 3 people could each pick a week it would help me out quite a bit. Just take your favorite week, 10 (January 13-19), 11 (January 20-26) or 12 (January 27 - February 2) before someone else takes it. It's really a lot of fun. (This is known as a Huck Finn sales pitch). I'll be able to keep up with the scoring as I can do that Saturday night or Sunday morning.

The week 9 games are spread among 9 different conferences, with no more than 3 games from any one. More than half of the games are on Sunday so please make sure to get your picks in by Saturday night.

WEEK 9

Ohio St - Michigan
Seton Hall - Butler
Marquette - Creighton
Drexel - James Madison
North Carolina St - Duke
Michigan St - Minnesota
Northern Iowa - Missouri St
Alabama - Arkansas
Oklahoma - Oklahoma St
Stanford - Arizona St
Oregon - UCLA
Georgia - Kentucky
Rutgers - Purdue
DePaul - Creighton
Kansas St - Iowa St
Notre Dame - Louisville
LSU - Alabama
Arizona St - Oregon St
Duquesne - George Washington
Oklahoma St - Kansas St

[Howee]

[myrtle]

I can do week 11 (January 20-26) and try to clean up after Howee.

Week 8 is in the books, sort of, and not a moment too soon. I say sort of because the Drexel - William & Mary game was postponed until Tuesday, January 9. I will include the results of that game with the week 9 results rather than leaving this week open. This was the toughest week of the season, certainly for me, but for the second week in a row Pilight took top honors by correctly picking 13 of the 19 games. Pilight has now climbed into a tie for last among players who have played every week. Come on Howee, we can't have you falling into last again. One more request for someone to choose the games for week 12.

Week 8 Standings

1) Pilight 13
2) Myrtle 11
2) Lynx 11
2) Dinkytown 11
2) Pureform 11
6) Linkster 10
7) Howee 9
7) Adamj 9
9) Summertime 8
10) Calbearman 7

You could perhaps have given us more games that we might possibly remotely care about? Like, who is worse rather than who is better....

But this one gave me the biggest laugh. [you have to know Howee]

West Virginia @ Oklahoma St..............(Big 12's cutest coaches duel)

[summertime blues]

Are we still gonna do this one? Because if we are, here goes nothin'! On account I got nothin'!


Monmouth @ Iona (This one's for you, Queenie!)
Houston Baptist @ Sam Houston State (It really did used to be Sam Houston Institute of Technology)
Iowa State @ Texas Tech (C'mon, Shimmy!)
Army @ Navy (Because I was born on the Academy campus!)
Villanova @ St. Johns (Sorry)
Lehigh @ American ((because why not?)
Arkansas @ Auburn (I think they can but it will be ugly)
Arizona St. @ Oregon (home advantage)
Vermont @ Maine (because JMU had a hard time with them)
Delaware St. @ Florida A&M ( home cooking, I guess)
Kentucky @ Vanderbilt (mostly because I hate Vandy)
West Virginia @ Oklahoma St (Cowgirls look good)
Oklahoma @ Kansas St (sorry, Howee, home cooking again)
Coastal Carolina @ South Alabama (same deal)
Pacific @ Pepperdine (Pacific just looks awful)
Washington @ Washington St (Go Cougs!)
Oregon @ Oregon St (should be a no-brainer but....)
Oklahoma State @ Oklahoma (Howee can't lose on this one)
Indiana @ Michigan St (more home cooking)
Toledo @ Buffalo (likewise, and should be a no-brainer)

With only ONE exception, I decided to buy into summertimeblues' *theory*. We shall see if it pays off or not....
Edit (1/20):
Well, Pffft! On stb's theory! I decided to try the "homecooking" theory, and except for ONE game (Oklahoma's of course) I picked all the home teams to win. NOT a competitive plan! LOL!

[calbearman76]

Howee, Since you originally included these games, I decided to give you my thoughts on these as well:

Mt. St. Mary's @ St. Francis BKLN.......

The Terriers will be barking loudly tomorrow. A big win on Remsen St.


Bryant @ Fairleigh Dickinson.......

FDU has more wins (8) than any other team in the bottom 100 of the RPI. And even with their ninth win they will still only be fairly Dickinson.

[summertime blues]

[myrtle]

It's really sad to see all these teams with 0-4 wins that Howee managed to find. It must be really disheartening to play when you never win.
Iona (they have to win one sometime! and this looks to be as good as any)
Sam Houston State
Iowa State
Navy
Villanova
American
Arkansas
Oregon
Maine
Florida A&M
Kentucky
West Virginia
Oklahoma
South Alabama

Week 9 was a matter of lucky 13. Because of the postponed Drexel - William & Mary game there were 21 games and 4 players had 13 games correct. Three games, all from the Big 10 were unanimously selected. Everyone correctly chose Ohio St over Michigan, but everyone was wrong with Michigan St over Minnesota and Rutgers over Purdue. Howee correctly selected both Alabama over LSU and Kansas St over Oklahoma St, the only player to pick either team. Because Linkster didn't play the week but had Drexel vs W&M I added 1 point to his total.

Week 9 Standings

1) Pilight 13
1) Adamj 13
