College Football Week 16 Picks

2-2 vs the spread last week, 42-29-1 for the season. . .

It's that time of year in college football. . .the coaching carrousel. . .and, uh, some of these decisions make absolutely no sense.  Nebraska fires Bo Pelini, who, it's true, never won a big game. . .but they replace him with Mike Riley?!?!  Mike Riley?  Has he even coached in a big game?  The guy was in the Pac-12 for about 15 years, and has a career losing conference record.  How is that an upgrade over Pelini, who at least won 9 games every year and got the Cornhuskers into a couple conference championship games? It doesn't make sense. . .

And then Oregon State turns around and replaces Riley with Wisconsin's Gary Andersen.  Ha ha ha.  I guess the Beavers want to keep having losing conference records, because Andersen is a horseshit coach.  He choked away the LSU game and somehow lost 59-0 to a third string QB in the Big Ten title game. . .he had a power run team that looked scared against a soft Buckeye team. . .terrible coach.  Oregon State did Wisconsin a favor by taking that lemon. . .

Of course, Michigan is still looking for a coach. . .every name in the book has been linked to that job. . .and they are all on hold, waiting for Jim Harbaugh to get fired from the 49ers and decide where he wants to go next.  If Harbaugh says no to Michigan, and I have a hard time seeing him leave the NFL without a Super Bowl ring, I think Les Miles gets his dream job, by default.

One shitty game this week. . .the Annual Turd that is:

Army +14 vs Navy: The future *executioners* of American Foreign Policy (Manifest Destiny) play one last game of football before going off to training on how to kill the others. Navy.

And now we'll forget about college football for a couple weeks, ignoring all the flea bag bowls, until Playoff time. . .
