2011 ATVS-Geaux Show Pick'em Challenge: Week 6

Les Miles, showing proper clapping technique.

Though not as bad as last week, it's still not a great showing from the group, myself included. Seems like the same 4-5 people are in the top 10 every week, and it shows in the standings. The overall list, last week's results, and this week's games after the break.

A steady diet of 8-4 is helping Nearl slowly inch away from the pack, but it's still too early to eliminate most from contention. Meanwhile, I have settled into a dead even slump.

Air Force gets a great OT win to kick off the CIC trophy chase and took down most of us in the process. A majority of us also got hosed by the refs on the take in the Kentucky game (sure, the fact that Kentucky needed a garbage touchdown to beat the spread and got a BS Pass Interference call inside the 10 had nothing to do with it. I'M NOT BITTER!) The rest of the picks were surprisingly balanced, so there's no other game that the majority missed on.

As we settle into conference play, there's a lot more non-SEC matchups filling out to the slate. Aub-Ark could well be a shootout, but I think the Plainsmen pull away late. In the UGA-UT toss-up, I'll take Derek Dooley's hair. Who knows what's going on at SCar these days, but Kentucky is still Kentucky. I'll take the Sooners at the Shootout. A&M has to finish a game one of these days, right? That Vandy-Bama spread seems too high to me.
