Welcome back, folks. It's Week 12 as I post this OP and the season is as weird as ever.
If you want to get the general zeitgeist of this group, I suspect you'll be well served to check out two of my favorite podcasts. First, you've got the Internet's ONLY College Football Podcast, the Shutdown Fullcast. Next up, you've got the more-than-spiritual successor to Podcast Ain't Played Nobody, Split Zone Duo.
And here's the current standings of our season long pick 'em:
Note that picks for Week 12 are currently due. See this post from the previous thread for details! https://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/comment/44207731/#Comment_44207731

Undefeated Cincinnati knocking on the door of the CFP not absurd enough for you? Check out how much the Top 5 highest paid college football coaches make a year! (paywall for the full list, sadly)
And only two of those five coaches have 9-1 seasons so far this year.
Iowa State @ #13 Oklahoma (-4)
#10 Wake Forest @ Clemson (-4)
UCLA (-3) @ USC
California (-1.5) @ Stanford
Against the Spread
#7 Michigan State @ #4 Ohio State (-18.5)
#21 Arkansas @ #2 Alabama (-20.5)
Nebraska @ #15 Wisconsin (-9.5)
Southern Methodist @ #5 Cincinnati (-11.5)

The David Shaw/Stanford thing is just….it’s bad, neither is going to give up and the program is just going to get worse and worse
That said I don’t see why they’re so attached to Shaw; he must be really good with the boosters or something
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
Pat Fitzgerald-eqsque…Scott Frost could maybe get there if they start doubling their wins
Michigan State 100 percent leapfrogs them if they beat Ohio State this weekend, and even if they don't, Michigan's in the wings.
There just aren’t enough games to have enough common opponents, and not enough weeks (or healthy bodies) to have the big ass tournament required to account for that
Might have come up in the last thread but Michigan State is set to make Mel Tucker #2 with a $9.5M/year 10 year deal. Not confirmed yet though, just rumors.
Edit: in other words, is 8-4 every year worth that
On the other hand, per the immutable law of the universe that says everything always turns out badly for Michigan, he’s guaranteed to earn every penny of that contract
Injury luck doesn't explain what's wrong with Stanford. They've had years of poor recruiting and development finally catch up to them the past few years, and they saw a huge amount of guys transfer out after last season. Stanford is never going to fire Shaw but that program is deep in the Coaching Death Spiral.
3DS: 2981-5304-3227
And really all he has to do is beat Michigan 50% of the time or better. Dantonio always had a few losses every year and he kept the job for over 10 years.
Always a good time
And now it appears the Cougs are taking the Wildcats to the proverbial woodshed
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
Dantonio won the Big1(2)0 and B1G and made it to a playoff- most successful coach in MSU history
He also didn’t report the rapes and sexual assaults his recruits and players committed, and fighting the lawsuit about this is why he “got too tired” to keep coaching
We’ll see if Tucker gets there. It’s too early to tell either way, and this is a surprisingly good year for them….but likely reversion to MSU-football mean would indicate that’s a bad contract.
Edit: lol shit I guess the sun is out in Columbus
Double edit: John O’Neil fuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkk
How in the world do you not just keep someone deep since our coverage is so bad. This is going to be a 45-13 type of game.
You at the game Captain?

Shocker, Reed actually runs down field and gets a catch.
Yes.

Yeah, we need Stroud to break his ankle next week and for McCord to step in and be even better
Well you were close to OSU's halftime score anyway.
Yikes
So you’re saying Michigan will inexplicably play well enough to have a chance to win at the end of the game
I’ll take it!
