Week 15 NCAA Pick

I correctly picked the Big Ten championship game this week, finishing 41-8 in Big Ten play this year, a record I am incredibly proud of. I went 5-3 outside of the Big ten and stand at 34-28 on those games on the season, with one game left.

Army Vs Navy: Pick: Navy

Now that thats out of the way, a congratulations is in order to the Wisconsin Badgers for winning a 3rd consecutive Big ten Championship. This one may have a slight asterick, but the fact remains in the 116 year history of Big ten football, this is only the second time ever a team has won 3 straight titles, Ohio State in the 1960's being the other. The Badgers offense laid a shelleacking on Nebraska, winning 70-31. By the time the Badgers got to 28, the Nebraska defense was just gassed and lost and had no idea how to handle everything the Badgers were throwing their way. Its been a rocky year, with three OT losses, but all that matters is the Badgers are heading to the Rose Bowl yet again. The six BCS Conference champs are as follows:

Big East: Louisville
Big Ten: Wisconsin
Pac-12: Stanford
Big 12: Kansas st
SEC: Alabama
ACC: Florida st

There are four at large BCS berths up for grabs, and three of them are essentially locked up, Notre Dame being the 100% lock. The other two are about 90% locks, Oregon and Florida. The last spot is up for grabs, it cant be an SEC team, and the ACC. Big ten, Pac-12, and Big east dont really have any other qualified teams, so it really has to be Oklahoma in all likelihood. Another possibility is Northern Illinois, which would be a 1 loss BCS buster, further exposing the system as a fraud. The pre-Christmas bowl game picks will be up next Saturday night, cant wait for the bowl season. Keep an eye on where the other Big ten teams end up, Northwestern, Nebraska, Michigan, Michigan st, Minnesota, and Purdue.
