Poolsville Picks 2013, Week #6

So here's the deal - NCAAFConverter picked exactly five winners over the course of the last three weeks. Every player may get a trophy in youth soccer but until Chinese overseas manufacturing figures out how to mass produce the Ramon Escobar Trophy, this kind of perfomance is absolutely unacceptable. NCAAFConverter has been put on notice; either the picks improve, or extreme repurposing may be in order (I'm considering relegating The Converter for duty as a patriotic clip art image sorter for Tea Party websites (American flag images in this folder, U.S. Constitution images in that folder, Founding Father images over there, and special subfolders for any of the above images that also depict Glenn Beck in heroic poses)).

Thusly put on notice, The Converter turns in the following picks:

1.  UCLA - Utah (UCLA by 4)
     NCAAFConverter : Unfortunate stereotyping still sells.

 

[Program note - It's a special kind of sadness you feel when posting a Poolsville pick the morning after the picked team (Utah for the win) lost. At this point, The Converter is flirting with danger, and not in a good way]

2.  Ole Miss - Auburn (Ole Miss by 2)
     NCAAFConverter : Bear pinned by vicious tigers.

Great match-up of former ASU head coaches here. Hugh Freeze may be doing great things for Ole Miss but The Converter believes the Black Bears are in hot water this week. Looks like this one goes to Gus. Auburn for the win.

3.  Arizona State - Notre Dame (5 point underdome Notre Dame worth a bonus point)
     NCAAFConverter : Ugly loss for the Leprechaun.

Quality control is sorely lacking in The Converter's submission; it if manages to make it through the season (thereby outperforming Lane Kiffin, at least), adjustments will be in order. But the message is clear here; the Sun Devils have the upper hand. Arizona State for the win.

4.  Ohio State - Northwestern (5 point undercat Northwestern worth a bonus point)
     NCAAFConverter : What in the world?

  I have no idea where The Converter found this image, or what sports team or school or organization or even species is supported here! The tea leaves are murky, so we'll go with alphabetical order on this one. Ohio State for the win. You can keep your shiny bonus point, O Mayor of Poolsville.

5.  Washington - Stanford (6 point underhusky worth a bonus point).
     NCAAFConverter : What in the world?

What a happy husky! It's like he doesn't even know The Cardinal is messing with him. Stanford for the win. You can keep your shiny bonus point, O Mayor of Poolsville.
