Prognostication Bukakke, NCAA Week 7

#15 Texas vs. #13 Oklahoma:

Iggins!: Everyone looks competent against WVU’s defense, Texas, but I don’t like Landry Jones one damn bit. Grumble. Flipping coin… Texas wins.

Code Red: Texas' defense is legitimately good. Geno Smith is just at that level. They'll confuse Landry Jones into mistakes. Texas wins. 

 

Mrs. Code Red: Oklahoma. 

 

Wisconsin @ Purdue:

Code Red: Oh God. The awfulness. The horrible, no-good, very-bad conference. My eyeballs are bleeding as I look at this. Purdue? God. Am I really picking Purdue over Wisconsin? Purdue. The horror.

Iggins!: Wisconsin struggled against Illinois, so, I mean… Purdue wins?

Mrs. Code Red: Purdue....with a question mark?

Utah @ UCLA:

Iggins!: UCLA got all Jim Mora last week and Utah decided they would put up a pretty good fight against USC. I’ll take the Utes to win, and promptly watch Jim Mora drop 700 points.

Code Red: Utah benefitted from turnovers, mostly. I'm not confident that Utah could put up many points against Illinois. UCLA wins.

Mrs. Code Red: Utah.

#17 Stanford @ #7 Notre Dame:

Code Red: They're good. What are we going to do?! NOTRE DAME IS ACTUALLY GOOD AGAIN. WHO LET THIS HAPPEN? Notre Dame wins.

Iggins!: This needs to stop, but I can’t take Stanford here. God save us all from Touchdown Jesus. Notre Dame wins.

Mrs. Code Red: Notre Dame.

#10(!) Oregon State @ BYU:

Iggins!: Yeah, that’s the number 10 next to the Beavers there. Wow. Picking against them seems like a bad idea, so Oregon State wins.

Code Red: Except word comes in now that Sean Mannion needs shoulder surgery. That blows. BYU still looks like shit, though. Oregon State wins. 

 

Mrs. Code Red: Oregon State.

#4 Florida @ Vanderbilt:

Code Red: Oh you damned fool. Now you must pay for your stupidity. Florida wins.

Iggins!: I’m a gonna ride this here pony to death. It already died? Oh well. Vanderbilt wins.

Mrs. Code Red: Florida.

#11 USC @ Washington:

Iggins!: USC got that one weird loss out of the way, it seems. On the other hand, Washington does that to USC as well. It would be just humorous enough to see Washington win this, have victories over USC and Stanford, then not matter at all in the Pac-12 title picture. Washington wins.

Code Red: Very odd for you to gamble like this. USC wins.

Mrs. Code Red: Washington.

TCU @ Baylor:

Code Red: Nice job, Casey Pachall, costing your team a big game with your stupid suspension. Even with him back I still like Baylor's improving offense. Baylor wins. 

 

Iggins!: Paul Rhoads does that to people. Baylor wins.

Mrs. Code Red: TCU.

#3 South Carolina @ #9 LSU:

Iggins!: Can’t tell if South Carolina is that good or Georgia is that bad. Seemed like the perfect storm of good fortune for the other USC. Still, until LSU finds an offense, I’ll take South Carolina to win.

Code Red: Can't trust LSU's offense at all, and I think SC's defense is legitimately that good. South Carolina wins.

Mrs. Code Red: South Carolina.

#22 Texas A&M @ #23 Louisiana Tech

Code Red: Should be one hell of a game. About time LA Tech got some love. Have to trust A&M's defense to be slightly better in this one. TAMU wins.

 

Iggins!: Tempted very badly to take LaTech at home. Texas A&M hasn’t exactly looked great against inferior competition this season either. FINE. Let us dance the dance of risky picks this week! Louisiana Tech wins.

Mrs. Code Red: Texas A&M.
