That one costs me 30 points in out pick 'ems. Ouch, but congrats to our Kentucky Cardinals. Very good game plan that gave that vaunted Florida defense fits.

Only game today is K-State versus Oregon. I want to change my pick to K-State but I just can't seem to do it. Maybe that will help K-State. No one has really given them props for this year. They will have to disrupt that offense and get some turn overs though I think to get the game more to their speed and game plan.

If K-State wins then I don't think it will be called an upset. I think they will have to dominate on the line and bring the game to their strengths though. Oregon will want to keep the tempo high while K-State will want to grind.

I think turn overs might be the difference in this one unless Oregon just strikes fast and often from the start and puts K-State out of their game plan.

It should be an interesting game considering the differences in strategy.

I'm sticking with Oregon, but will certainly be pulling for K-State.

You better not walk down the streets of Paducah calling them the "Kentucky Cardinals", you may get whacked. Only mascot that follows Kentucky is "Wildcats". 🙂 Most everybody in Ky. bleeds blue, except when Louisville is playing, then they bleed red only until the game is over (games between Louisville and UK excluded, of course).

Congrats to the Louisville Cardinals.

Florida gave away their chances with a pick 6 on the first possession and untimely penalties for bad behavior.

Very few picked Louisville.

my "upset" comment is directed at the fact that Oregon is favored- at least in the bowl mania pick'em world.
