So in yesterday’s hullabaloo, I briefly mentioned my thoughts on the marquee announce team of Kirk Herbstreit and Brent Musberger. They aren’t the worst announce team, but they certainly are not the best. Kirk I really don’t have much of a problem with as he finally turned the corner after dogging K-State for years. But I still keep him on a leash. Brent, on the other hand, is the Dick Vitale of college football. And by that I mean he’s all fluff and no substance. I guess if you’re mainstream like he is, you gotta be non confrontational, but it gets really annoying how much he cheers on the team that happens to be doing well at that period of time in the game. Oh well, at least we’re sure he’ll get the team names right, unlike Keith Jackson (he called K-State the Kansas State Jayhawks the first year they beat Nebraksa in forever at Manhattan). At any rate, here’s the pick standings:
| Rank | Pick Set Name | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | Total |
| 1 | Cabbottmtf | 17 | 11 | 9 | 13 | 8 | 11 | 10 | 10 | 11 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 128 |
| 2 | Krizzou | 16 | 12 | 8 | 11 | 9 | 10 | 6 | 10 | 8 | 5 | 9 | 9 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 119 |
| 3 | Purple Yeti | 14 | 10 | 8 | 10 | 4 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 10 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 104 |
It’s only a matter of time before the dwindling amount of games run through and Cabbottmtf can claim his title. Keeping with the trend for the last four weeks, Cabbottmtf rings in a big ole 7 spot. Given that the picks this week were light, he actually came out on top. Krizzou and the Purple Yeti at the turkey, 6 point style. As we head into the holiday, we again ask for alms or at least some kind of thing the loser of the pick set can do at the big, end of the year blowout. Post your comments below and please keep it PG-13. Here’s this week’s BCS Standings:

A turkey leg shake up rolled through the Top 10 of the as the basting the Sooners put on the Red Raiders roasted the Sooners all the way to number 3. Why aren’t they above Texas? Because they lost to Texas head to head. But if they beat Oklahoma State next week, and potentially Missouri in the Big 12 Championship (again), then they’ll be the boys to go to the BCS title game. Ohio State eeked into the 10 spot this week, after another cooking of the Wolverines. Utah jumped to 6th and clinched a seat at the BCS holiday table by going the golded 12-0. Speaking of the table being set, it’s ready to roll for the Big 12 champ vs SEC champ this year. Okay, enough Thanksgiving talk, I’m ready for food!
