I picked Oregon, Baylor (who will also lose “The Belt”), and LSU. Beating Saban after he’s had an off week to prepare is very difficult. Oregon is probably a bit of a reach/wishful thinking, but I don’t think they’re the legitimate #2 in the country right now. ---

I picked both Stanford and LSU, but I REALLY want to be wrong on one or both! 😉 ---

How do you not pick either Alabama or LSU? One of them has to lose. ---

I’ll be at the Baylor game so hopefully not them. LSU and Stanford. ---

I picked Stanford and Baylor to lose, but should’ve included LSU also. ---

> [@RetroVertigo](#): > > I picked Stanford and Baylor to lose, but should’ve included LSU also. Okay. I’ll mark LSU with the () to show it was an additional choice. No sweat. ---

C’mon **Oakminster**! Do a brother a favor and pick the 'Noles. Every time you pick them to lose, it’s a blowout! 😉 At least you picked Oregon to lose, from your fingers to God’s ear… ---

Jesus, Baylor just committed three personal fouls on one play and they are all going to be enforced for yardage. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. ---

Oregon is getting blown out tonight. Down 23-0 late in the third last I checked. Sadly, Baylor is blew out Oklahoma by an even wider margin, and I picked Oklahoma to win. ---
